It is described as an entire home that is only shared with guests of your party. That is not what is provided. It is a bedroom with an attached bathroom. That is part of an occupied house. The fridge in the room is filthy and quite noisy making it difficult to sleep. The shower screen is filthy. Hair on the basin in the bathroom. There is a tv in the room. Not a smart TV however, nor any antenna or channel services connected to it. So it essentially a wall adornment. The towels provided are quite old and of terrible quality, frayed at ends. The “home” also has quite an odour about it. Presumably from the cooking of the hosts or residence of the home. Not a smell that should be bestowed on guests. Might be fine for some, but I find it quite repulsive. It is also very prominent in the bedding. A very unpleasant experience. There should be minimum standards to be able to provide accommodation. And this would be below acceptable ##### Clint Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fitzpatrick Grand Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Fitzpatrick-Grand-Central.h119276.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Melia-South-Beach.h177198.Hotel-Information) > > [Iperion Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Iperion-Beach.h13454402.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Singapore-Orchard-City-Centre.h6152.Hotel-Information) > > [Graffiti Suites El Museo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Hotels-El-Museo-Living-Experience-Club.h57131508.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Isle of Lewis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Lewis-Hotels.d6359200.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Birmingham - South A45 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Birmingham-South-A45.h4319098.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Clitheroe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clitheroe-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d177897--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Legian-Hotels-Bali-Mandira-Beach-Resort-Spa.h1103433.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Newquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels.d2596.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mountain Hotels in Ölüdeniz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oludeniz-Hotels-Mountain-Hotel.0-0-d6054859-tmountainhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [NH Collection Berlin Mitte Friedrichstrasse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-NH-Collection-Berlin-Mitte-Friedrichstrasse.h898450.Hotel-Information) > > [Amazones Village Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Amazones-Village-Suites.h981640.Hotel-Information) > > [Future Inn Plymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymouth-Hotels-Future-Inn-Plymouth.h1621077.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Balcony in Sukhumvit](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sukhumvit-Bangkok-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-n6049555-0-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Colmar (CMR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/cmr/birmingham-to-colmar) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Barakpur (CCU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/ccu/belfast-to-kolkata) > > [KLM Manchester (MAN) to Schiphol (AMS) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/klm-from-manchester-to-schiphol/kl/man/ams) > > [Flights from Lisbon (LIS) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lis/man/lisbon-to-manchester) ### Activities > [Things to do in Newmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Newmarket.d5646.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Bari City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bari-Bari-City-Centre.dx553248633938943691) > > [Visit Hinckley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hinckley.dx4659) ---
