1 Bedroom Flat in Putney♡

No stay was possible. Dreadful

1.0

This property was on long term let to another tenant and our booking had not been cancelled. We had to find alternative accommodation at zero notice

− Not being able to access the flat, despite full charge being made. Owner was difficult to contact, and we eventually had to ask the present tenant to contact his landlord

Fortunately only two nights so was adequate.

Self catering. Bus stops nearby.

− Very basic utensils and china provided. No instructions on how to access usual TV channels, only foreign ones. Such as BBC channels, ITV channels etc. Only two parking spaces at property so was lucky to get one of them especially unloading wheelchair

Risky

− We booked one night here more than 4 months in advance, and the owner said they would send us the PIN to unlock the door 24hr prior to check-in. Despite repeated messages asking for the PIN the day of our stay, it was not sent until an hour and a half after the advertised check-in time. We had an early flight the next morning, so when we still hadn't heard from the owners after the check-in time had psssed, we wound up having to book hotel rooms last minute because we didn't know if the owners were ever going to respond or not. When they finally did, it was an insulting message telling me that they didn't have to refund my payment and that I needed to "inform myself." The only positive was that they did eventually return the money, but I'm not putting that under the "What I Liked" category because you don't get bonus points for not stealing from people. We were vacationing from outside the country, and trying to scramble to find a backup plan in an unfamiliar country was a stressful and scary experience. The pictures look nice, and if you know the area and don't need the place to be available when they say it will, it might be alright. If you're traveling from outside of the country and need something reliable, though, stay somewhere else.

Mixed review..

Liked the quiet location. Clean and comfortable.

− Sadly the fridge freezer was very noisy and after chatting to the host was told to turn it off. However this was not possible at all times as we were worried about the food in the freezer. We were out most of the days so we left it on then. When returning back late afternoon and evening we wanted to catch up on the news and watch a little telly which was impossible as we could not get any programs and if we did it constantly buffered and then nothing ! We were told that you had to choose your programme within 5 seconds but even then it didn't work. The last night we saw a little but I think it was because after telling the host he probably came to fix it while we were out but he didn't say this so its just a quess! One final point my wife refused to sit outside as it was such a mess. Otherwise it was OK.

Very disappointed

The bed was extremely comfortable but pillows were dreadful and duvet wasn’t big enough for the bed.

− I’m absolutely shocked at how this place has the reviews it does! Let me tell you the photos uploaded DO NOT reflect the place once you see it in real time. The entire place is filthy, the shower very oddly has a note asking you not to get the door wet as it isn’t water tight, that is displayed on the INSIDE OF A SHOWER despite our best efforts to keep the water away from the door it still leaks all across the tiled floor causing a very dangerous slippery area. The WiFi is absolutely shocking and you can’t even receive a WhatsApp message. The bed is actually very comfortable however the pillows are dreadful. Whilst this isn’t the worst place, it falls way way below how it’s rated and doesn’t meet my standards and certainly not that of accommodations offered by booking.com. I particularly booked an apartment rather than a hotel room as we wanted space to relax and unwind before we travelled, what a mistake. The flat itself is decent but just need a damn good deep clean, better WiFi and some decent pillows. Even the outdoor area is rotten! A swing chair that must’ve been there rotting away for years, such a shame as this place has potential to be a decent property.

Good
