There was a man who displayed threatening behaviour. He threatened to chase me off the property simply because I refused to open the back gate for him. I told him I did not know who he was, as he had not introduced himself. looks like the bathroom was last cleaned a month ago

Inviting and spotless

10.0

I was not sure to stay here because of some of the reviews I had read. However, I thought I would give it a go as they were mixed. I am so glad I decided to book and stay here. From the moment I walked in it was so welcoming and homely. Walking into my room it was inviting and spotless. The bed was made up beautifully with fresh crisp bedding. The kitchen was clean and tidy and had everything I needed to cook with all the amenities. The bathroom was well lit, clean and tidy. The toilet definitely had a working flush (as other reviews said it was not working) and toilet paper. I'm so glad I stayed here and I will be back to stay here again thank you for hosting me.

Awfull, had to clean up for him, if i didnt id get told off

1.0

Horrible person, horrible place 1st, the downstairs toilet wasn’t flushing i tried fixing that. The sheets didn’t fit the bed, there weren’t any windows on the second floor corridor and it stank. Cigarettes all over the back yard, overgrown dead plants in the garden, you couldn’t walk through the garden without hitting your head on the childrens playground, the lower toilet wasnt working. There was a horrible curtain in the bath that was falling apart. There were Only 2 plates 3 knifes and 2 forkes and a couple of spoons no salt no oil 2 rusty pans for a place with 4 rooms able to accommodate 8 people. The carpets were dirty and smelled. There were stains on the walls all over. The furniture including the wardrobe was cheap and falling apart. Not to mention the attitude from the owner/manager Tahir. every 2 days he’d come and NEED to speak with me for bullshit, blaming me for this telling me off for that needing me to take out the rubbish bins out back for the garbage collectors and in the morning putting them back. and if i didnt want to talk to him he’d tell me off, Actually! He wanted me to work for him as a cleaner , but after i saw him throwing his cigarettes in the yard and saying its not his responsibility to clean them but the cleaners and after i heard and saw him yelling at the current cleaner who was a 15-17 year old boy who looked terrified by him. I refused, he then told me off and blamed me for refusing. He charged me for 25 days and he threw me out on the 8th and didnt give any refund and refused to cancel the booking, ( on booking.com it says i stayed 25 days because he only could cancel the booking. He didn’t answer booking.com when they called him for throwing me out and not canceling and he lied to them . He threatened to be physical if i didn’t leave threatened to throw my things out the window if I didn’t leave. He yelled at me for being scared of him and wanting to go in my room and talk tomorrow with him.
