Worst experience I have ever had in my life and am hoping that no other person should go though what I went through. I arrived on a Saturday late evening and Monday morning I had to write my final year unversity exam. On Sunday morning, norma asked me for the rent and after I had given her the amount (170 gbp) they asked me to leave her accomodation and would not return my money. After minutes of arguing they agreed that they would give me 50 gbp back and the rest they would keep charging for the pickup from coach station. Before I booked my stay, it was clearly mentioned in writing that the transfer back and forth was included with the evening meals as a whole package of 70 GBP. which I had to pay separately. I did not even take one meal with them as I had to leave already on Sunday. What makes me wonder is that why would they tell me to leave after I had given them the rent, why not before and ask me to pay them for 1 night stay. On their old profile it said smoking not allowed., which I would have thought smoking only not permitted inside the house. I never smoke inside the house but only outside. Even though I asked her husband the night before when i arrived whether i could smoke outside and he was OK with it as long as I smoked outside.The next morning they told me to leave after i paid the rent, even though they knew i had my final year exam the next morning. They should have told me to leave before I paid them 85% rental of the total stay. I am sure that they will not be able to digest the surplus money which they took from me. After they told me to leave they would not even give me 30 min to arrange for a new accommodation. Her husband harassed me and was on my head ready to drop me somewhere else. I was very nervous as my final year exam was the next morning. NOTE: As soon as I left their place, they changed their profile in homestay , previously with Name NORMA.

My Stay with Gillian was excellent. She is very kind and friendly. I had my own privacy at her home. I will certainly stay with her the next time I am there and if she is available.

Excellent stay with Debbie. Very friendly. She arranged to have me picked up from the coach station on my arrival. She ensured that the room was always clean and changed the bed sheets regularly, and did the laundry. Highly recommended.

Liz's apartment is very close to the main centre and the beach. Very friendly host and comfortable room. I will definitely stay with her when I go to Bournemouth again.
