Host & Stay | Good Vibes at Buckingham — Guest Reviews

In the perfect location for the laines and centre, parking at the train station was very convenient. Everything was in walkable distance and the flat was clean and tidy, with cute decor. Would definitely stay again and recommend- very affordable

Conveniently located close to train station. Price point matches quality of space.

Similar to other reviews the location of the apartment is great, very close to the station. Generally the flat was tidy but there were numerous stains on the carpet and bathroom floor. Read previous reviews noting that the blind in the spare room was broken - there was no blind during our stay so was a bright awakening for my friend each morning. The communal hallway light didn’t work so had to use phone lights during the evening getting up/down the stairs. The windows in the living room and double bedroom didn’t stay open and although 2 fans were provided they were not powerful enough so it got very warm. I would say for 4 adults it was a bit of a squeeze but we were only there for 2 nights. Also found the sofa bed quite uncomfortable. The whole place does need a bit of a spruce up but it was good value for money so you get what you pay for.

Pros: Comfortble beds Good location Convenient key exchange Good value for the area Cons: weak fans Could be cleaner Needle fell from phone, luckily didn't cause injury but easily could have if not spotted Smaller than expected Sofa not great Single bedroom blind didn't work Living room and double bedroom windows very difficult to open and didn't stay open

This flat is in a great location albeit up a steep hill (forewarning!). Small but perfectly fine for a long weekend, although I would think a squeeze for 4 people. Sofa bed was not terribly comfy to sit on, so I’d be hesitant to sleep on it. Main concern was that the flat did not feel very clean and there was a few stains, as well as the bath panel was falling off. Could definitely benefit from a bit of a face lift, but appreciate that value for money wise this was a sufficient stay. Thank you for having us.

The flat is in a great location, close to the station and town, but there were several issues during our stay. I stayed here with 3 friends for 2nights, and while the space works for a short visit, it's not ideal for four people. The sofa bed is small, if you’re taller than 5’5 you’ll struggle, and there isn’t much room if you plan to cook. We also had some communication issues with the host. We requested a 4th towel upon arrival and were promised one, but it never showed up. The small bedroom had no blind, making it difficult to sleep, and despite the host saying they’d fix it, nothing was done. After reading recent reviews, it seems this issue has been ignored for weeks. The cleanliness was also lacking, with stains, dirt and hair visible on the carpet. Finally, only one window could be opened, and the master bedroom window couldn’t stay open without a latch. Overall, the flat has great potential, but it needs more care and attention to make it a better experience.

enjoyed my stay here with 3 friends as proximity to town centre/train station was perfect but…. The sofa bed was not comfy to sit on so i wouldn’t rely on that as a forth bed There was a lot of dust in the property which i believe is due to inadequate ventilation system in the home or the filters needing to be replaced in the currently ventilation in the bathroom. When we arrived the bath panel was off which was strange. The toilet also stopped working on the last day which was concerning but luckily it was our check out day as the number we phoned said they no longer worked for the company anymore, again strange. Overall, it’s risky to have something such as that happen and not have a reliable emergency contractor be able to visit so we wouldn’t stay again

We arrived about an hour after the earliest check-in time to find no key in the key safe. Waited 10 minutes on the phone to get through to someone who quickly cut the call. After a 30 minute wait in the phone queue the door opened up and a cleaner (with our key) emerged saying that we had been told check in would be late (we hadn't) and that the bed linen would be sorted 'later'. Inside the place was OK except for: not cleaned well (dust and grime in places), broken blind in the small bedroom (daughter woken at 6am by the sun every day), stuff missing from the kitchen (an oven with no baking sheet or oven glove), windows that either wont open or wont stay open and a sofa that is beyond uncomfortable. We reported the broken blind as soon as we arrived and were told it would be fixed - it wasn't. The bed linen did arrive shortly after we did but we had an awkward wait while the guy fitted it. The location of this place is excellent, the management, however, isn't.

Nice little apartment in a good location close to town, handy theres a shop below. Perfect for a couple of nights! Only downfall is uncomfortable sofa.

Good location but poor cleanliness. Positive: The property was a great location, close to the train station and the city centre and it wasn't too loud on the street. It comfortably sleeps up to four people but only for a short stay - it's quite small for any longer with that amount of people. Negative: It was filthy - there was what looked like dog fur on the carpet, it looks like it hasn't been hoovered in weeks, the bathroom was dirty, there was literal bugs in the sofa when making it up into a sofa bed. I feel like if the owners don't do the cleaning they should inspect whoever does as it's not good. The toilet also constantly fills up - so you could hear water dripping into it throughout the night. The commonways to get to the apartment is also filthy and damp. I also had to ask to stop getting emailed as they kept asking for an extra security deposit in-case of any damage, trying to upsell us to private chefs and experiences and this was very frequently although they did respect this and stop as soon as I asked.

Great location by Brighton train station and within walking distance of The Lanes. Small but nice and clean apartment!

We had a great stay, very compact apartment just what we needed. Positive: Great location, everything was within walking distance. Negative: Heating took a long time to come on and no parking was an issue.

The airbnb is in a great location close to the train station. We parked at the station and it was only £20 for 3 days. Before arrival we had asked for the sofa bed to be made up - this had not been done. The sofa bed was also not comfy to sit on, let alone sleep on. The broken blind in the small bedroom has been mentioned in reviews back since June. This had still not been fixed, so we ended up having to stick bin bags over the window as it was so bright. 4 months to get a blind fixed see a bit excessive. There was a dirty towel left folded up as a clean towel for us to use - luckily we found more towels under the main bedroom bed. No trays were available to cook food on for the oven. Minor issues that can be easily fixed if a bit of time and care would go into the property. Other than that, we had a really nice stay and the hosts were very quick to respond to messages.

Really enjoyed our stay here this weekend! Such a great location for a short trip when exploring the city and a lovely responsive host.

Apartment is at the perfect location. Blinds in the spare bedroom were broken when we arrived but other than that no complaints. Lovely stay.

We really enjoyed our stay and a lovely quiet location. I think it might be worth looking at removing carpets or getting them properly cleaned as they weren’t clean when we arrived. Lovely little apartment though

Great location to the train station, exactly what we needed - thanks!

Absolutely wonderful place, very close to city center & and a beautiful view from the single bed room, however it’s a bit confusing since there are 3 houses with the number 67. Still a an amazing and clean place to stay in the city.

Compared to the price and location it was okay.

We had a great few days in Brighton at Dale's place. The flat was clean, cozy and convenient. It’s in a really good location, close to the station, the north Lanes and the seafront, with plenty of local shops nearby. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Fantastic flat in a fantastic location - we were really happy with our stay there

Small but cosey central flat. Can a be a bit noisey but comes with the territory being so central.
