Large family home in west London, 20 mins taxi ride away from Heathrow airport. We have a spacious 5 bed house in Ickenham, its on the west side of greater London. Our home is a 10 minute walk to Ickenham tube station (for the Metropolitan & Piccadilly tube lines) and a 15 minute walk or a few mins bus ride to West Ruislip tube station (for the Central line), from both these stations you can get trains into Central London in 30 minutes. You can always visit nearby Uxbridge town centre which has 2 indoor shopping centres and an outdoor shopping centre along with a cinema and lots of bars and restaurants, if you don’t feel like going into Central London. We are also not too far from Brunel University.

Par ou commencer ? La famille est gentille mise a part la proprietaire qui est tout le temps derriere vous elle ne vous laisse aucunes intimite a venir le soir tard dans votre chambre. Le menage n'est pas fais regulierement par exemple la salle de bain est tres salle. Vous devez etre que dans votre chambre donc c'est tres etouffant. Elle est toujours sur notre dos, par exemple pour faire a manger elle te regarde faire, elle viens sans cesse surveiller la poubelle dans la chambre. Sutout ne jamais la laisser faire vos machine car mes vetements sont sorti avec des enormes taches de couleurs. Nous sommes rester 1 mois et ce n'etait pas une bonne experience. Nous avons laisser de la nourriture dans le frigo est a plusieur reprise nous avons trouver nos produits vides. Ils sont enormement bruillant le matin il ne respecte pas le fais que les autres dorment. Nous avons retrouver nos affaires parfois deplacer, des choses disparus.Et nous ne pouvons pas faire ce que nous voulons dans la chambre par exemple elle controle meme le placement de nos affaires dans la chambre. Conclusion apres 1 mois je vous deconseille fortement cette hote.

I’m speechless after reading this girl’s review. This girl and her friend shared the room, the only times I ever went to their room was to clean it, because they were so dirty they let the rubbish pile up in the bin until it overflowed all over the floor, they definitely weren’t clean! They’d put drink bottles in the bin and cans that still have drinks in them so they will spill everywhere, literally no common sense. They never brought the rubbish down so of course I must go and get the rubbish. One time I knocked on their door late at night was to tell them to keep quiet as it was 12am and my son wakes up at 5am to go to work, as he was in the room opposite them, but they had no respect or consideration for that!! The funny thing is they are saying we are noisy when everyone is in their own room and they are far from the other rooms, and my house is extremely quiet in the morning because we are NOT noisy people. For the record I work full time, I leave early and most of the week don’t get home until most of the house has gone to bed so how can I be watching when I’m not even there!! They arrived home before everyone else and had the entire home to themselves for a good 2 hours, no one ever told them they can’t come in the lounge, they chose to stay in their room all the time by choice, and for the record they would cook and take the food to their bedroom to eat even though I said I don’t like food being taken upstairs, so again, what they she says makes no sense because they are giving false information. We have a large beautiful clean kitchen but they always wanted to go upstairs to eat! While cooking they destroyed one of my expensive pans by completely burning it, I was very upset but still didn’t say anything apart from don’t use it again, and the funny thing is if I’m watching them I would have seen them using it so again. Once one of her items got eaten by mistake by another person in the home, I apologized to her and replaced it, but it wasn’t good enough for her the fact that she has still mentioned it here, says a lot about her character as a person. Fyi I have a weekly cleaner and everyone comments on how clean my home is. I have been hosting for over 20 years and never had such a person in my home. This girl has really taught me something I never knew in the month she was in my home, that you can’t trust what you see!! Also, for the record at the same time we had another guy in the home, he was supposed to leave a month ago but he’s so happy with us and our home he is still with us!! I rest my case!

Renu et Avinash sont absolument charmants et soucieux du bien être de leurs hôtes. Leur cuisine indienne est vraiment délicieuse! Très bonne ambiance. Mon fils, 12 ans a aimé jouer avec leur fils 10 ans, ce fut une motivation supplémentaire pour apprendre l'anglais ... Un peu loin du plein centre de Londres: 10 mn de marche pour la gare et ensuite direct jusqu'à Piccadilly circus, mais finalement pas vraiment génant au vue du très bon séjour passé. Nous reviendrons.

I'm not really staying there because too cold to stay there, I talked with the family, promised to get better, but couldn't see the change. I booked 7nights stay 1 night, fleeing to other places. from the host : "To future guests I would like to inform you that I have been hosting for over 11 years now and very successfully. I have hosted hundreds of guests from all over the world over this time. I have received many letters of thanks and cards etc from very happy guests. I have 2 children who live with me and so our house is warm when it has to be. We have had many, many guests tell us how lovely our family is, you need to come and stay with us to know. If you have hundreds of guest come through you home you try to make everyone of them happy but sometimes you can’t please all no matter what you do. I am very house proud as I love my home which is extremely comfortable and extremely clean. We look forward to hosting you. Renu"

Fair for the price for poor students who can tolerate an inadequate environment. Overall disappointing no descent shower, no hot water available during the cold winter even worse the heater to be switched off in the middle of the night until rather late in the morning. No point stay there for the price if you can afford enough to stay somewhere else( £40)because you have to take into account the commuting fees and extra costs of around £15/night or more to satisfy your basic needs. Freezing !!
