Was a lovely simple property in the heart of Bournemouth, only a few minutes walk from the town or the beach. Self check in/out was seamless and they offered a decent self-service breakfast. Room was clean with plenty of amenities.

Excellent accommodation in Bournemouth tiwn centre
Was forwarded details for self check in & clear instructions meant it was hassle free. Didn't encounter any staff during my visit, only stayed 1 night & there was a contact number provided but I didn’t need to call for any assistance. Lots of options for breakfast & room was clean & tidy. Self check out was also clearly explained.

Excellent property. Great room size, clean, chair and desk, TV, wardrobe. Good bathroom. Breakfast area amazing.

Little gem in a great location
Great little guesthouse in a convenient, if hilly, location!
Wasn't sure about the shower room being separate to the bedroom but the thoughtful provision of a robe to go to and from it made it a bit better.
Very comfortable bed and a fan provided if room was too warm but I managed with an open window instead.
Breakfast was a self service, basic, continental but perfectly adequate with a selection of juice, cereal, bread, packaged croissants and pain au chocolate, yoghurt and fresh fruit.

I loved staying in the Bamboo Guesthouse. Jake, the manager, was friendly and helpful. He said 'I was to knock on his door, if I had any problems with my room or ran out of coffee, tea biscuits etc. Breakfast was serve/help yourself and there was a variety of cereal, bread, continental breakfast, juices, milk etc.
The paintings and the murals, in the hallway, on the stairs, the landings, my room, and the room where we had breakfast, were very colourful and enjoyable.
The only complaint I have and it's a small one: is that the decoration, for example, the wallpaper, paint work, skirting boards etc need cleaning, painting or replacing.

Great stay
Stayed one night. Ideal for us as we were visiting family locally. Great position for visiting town. Great hosts.
Verified traveler
The manager very kindly let me drop off my luggage first thing in the morning and it was waiting in my room when I checked in later in the day. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The bed linen was clean but hadn't been ironed which I sort of expected in a B&B. I was there for four days and the room wasn't serviced in that time so the bin was overflowing and I needed to keep going downstairs for tea bags and milk etc. The breakfast was great with fresh croissants and pain au chocolat each day. There was a strong smell of herbal cigarettes the first couple of days.

Jake's a great host
Shaheen
The stay was ok but left me wondering how this guesthouse has obtained its many great reviews which are very contradictory.
Guesthouse manager was polite and friendly but their appearance was not very professional looking at all.
This place has potential to be great place but it needs a lot of work. Carpets very dirty. Fridge very dirty. There's a funny smell sometimes. Wallpaper curling. The whole place needs to be refurbed and seriously cleaned.
I think the guesthouse is positioned in-between two drug houses as well, it's not rocket science trying to figure that out.
Breakfast there was a lot of choice, so thank you for that.
Location good, but you have to go up a big hill from the town centre, but good exercise.

Quiet, close to the beach and the town centre
The room was smaller than we expected, but it was clean. There was no air conditioning, but the manager, Jake, provided us with a tower fan. The bathroom was also clean with towels and soaps. Jake was very helpful and tried his best to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was generous, with a choice of yogurts, cheeses, jams and croissants. The location of the guest house is excellent, close to the seaside and the town centre. We went to French restaurant Cote for our evening meal, which was also not far from the guest house. I think that is affordable and a very good place to stay. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget holiday.
Paul
Great guest house
Very nicely decorated guest house . Was warm but big fans provided. Single room , very nice bathroom external across the corridor ( but private use ) . The manager very nice guy, breakfast continental style served in a bright room. All in all , would recommend.

Absolutely faultless. Felt so welcomed and looked after. Definitely will return!

Bamboo stay September 2020
Location was very good. Near shopping centre in the town and walking distance to the beach reached via a lovely garden.
Listed building. Abit pricey, situated right opposite Hilton at similar prices, which had more facilities. Located up a steep hill.
Credit has to go the the Manager who really looked after our needs and beyond. Lovely continental breakfast served to us. The Manager Jake was following restrictions of Covid-19, and informed us of these throughout our stay.
Downside - we stayed in Roses Room, it had black mould on the en suite walls above the shower, extractor fan did not work and the loo was in awkward corner.

Not value for money and would not recommend.
Really disappointing stay. Definitely NOT value for money nor a guest house experience. Cleanliness not acceptable either. Have stayed in half the price premises with totally pristine room and facilities. Shower area and more importantly the water exit/plug area disgusting upon inspection as shower tray water built up. Bed matress most uncomfortable and needing replaced. No control over heating. No atmosphere. Never saw anyone, except on arrival to get keys. Breakfast not continental. No meat selection. Would only recommend this establishment at half the price. Really wonder how this place gets rated highly!!!

Home away from home :)
Room was nice and very clean. Izabela was extremely friendly and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was amazing, big selection of food and drink and she very kindly went the extra mile to cater for us as vegans. Very happy with our stay overall and would come again.

A Quality Guesthouse Experience
The guesthouse was an excellent choice of stay. The service was attentive to our needs and very quick, and the manager was very friendly and approachable. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Would most certainly stay again.

Lovely place, staff very friendly and helpful, my only complaint is that it is very hard to find - there is no sign outside clearly visible from the road.
I enjoyed my stay and will be happy to return here if I am visiting Bournemouth.

Friendly B&B that needs proper breakfast
Very warm and friendly greeting on arrival.
I stayed in the single room which was clean but in need of a little TLC. Decor needs updating and furniture has seen better days. Especially the bed which had a mattress that was like sleeping on a bag of springs: creaky and uncomfortable.
Although there is a private bathroom it is not connected to the bedroom. Bedroom at front of building and bathroom at the back, across the hall and down a shall flight if stairs. Not a problem for me but I could see this being an issue for some.
My major issue was the breakfast which was a completely self service continental. There were however no croissants or fresh pastries just some very poor quality pain au chocolate and bread to toast. The self service coffee machine did however make very nice coffee and there were yoghurts and juices available.
The price however is reasonable and the staff were very friendly so I would consider staying again. If they did a cooked breakfast I would be back for sure.

Lovely one night get away
There are only 6 rooms in this lovely old townhouse. It is very well maintained, the staff are very friendly and the continental breakfast was very good with a lot of choice. Would definitely stay again & recommend to anyone wanting to stay in central Bournemouth.
