I absolutely adored my time here! I had the pleasure of meeting some of my closest friends and I can't find a single fault with this place. The staff and security were exceptional, making me feel safe and welcome at all times. It's conveniently located just a 10-minute walk to town and a 15-minute stroll to the beach. The university shuttle runs every 20 minutes, making it super easy to get there and back, with the bus stop conveniently situated right next to Home Park. Additionally, there's a Tesco and Co-op just an 8-minute walk away, as well as an Asda and Lidl 10-15 minutes away. I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my first year!

Hi, I’ve just booked my room for my first year (super excited!) but was wondering if there was a way to kind of get to know the people in the same flat as me before I go? Maybe an app?

Perfect place for both local and international students. Great location, great facilities, clean and tidy place. Includes a Gym, which is very good. Everything like supermarkets, train station, coach station, is in walking distance. Good internet and Wi-Fi. Friendly staff. Everything is well looked after. Rent may be little bit high, if it can be reduced it would be great

My time at homepark so far has been amazing, the facilities are unreal, the space we have access to is spot on and the staff are nothing but lovely. The staff are always to hand if anyone is having any issues with mental health I’ve experienced it first hand when one of the staff came to my flat to check up on me and to see if I was okay, (yes she was instructed by the uni, but she was nothing but caring kind and understanding about my circumstances). The staff also take care in how they deal with us students, even when conflict happens they are always professional in how they deal with problems. They always have a smile on their faces and brighten up your day when you’re not quite feeling okay. They seem less like staff and more like friends in their friendly approach. The cleaners are thorough and pay attention to each detail. The social spaces are always spotless. As a designer I feel it’s important to work in a nice environment… homepark is my home, and I wouldn’t change anything.

Home Park exceeded all my expectations for student accommodation. The facilities are modern, clean, and well-maintained, creating a comfortable living environment. The receptionist, whose warm demeanor and helpful attitude made every interaction a pleasure, truly adds a personal touch to the experience. From the spacious rooms to the convenient location, Home Park provides everything a student needs for a successful academic and social life. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch place to live during their university years

where do I even begin... they don't call it HOME park for nothing! It really does feel like a home away from home. From the moment you walk in and are greeted my Jade and Emily's smiling faces you know you are welcome. When I was moving in they were super helpful and answered any questions I had. Also all of the different decorations for the various holidays (Valentine's Day, easter etc) are adorable and such a nice touch. Easy to collect mail and the receptionists are always down for a chat about life. They care about the students and it shows! Great location, no complaints. Close to beach, train station, grocery store, and bus to go to school. There's also a cinema, gym, ping pong table, and activity room. It's great. The staff are also super chill about parties and as long as they don't get too rowdy let them go on. Kitchen is great although there could be way more fridge space but now I'm just getting picky. Overall the people who run it are superstars and it's a nice place to live

- ground floor: all old appliances/mattresses sofas dumped outside by windows. A lot of rats and smoking area, noisy at night. - have to ask staff multiple times in person to get anything done, sometimes rude depending on who you talk to. - good location and decent sized rooms, but maintenance takes a while and often turn up unannounced, or give you a date/time and don’t turn up. - room wasn’t very clean when I turned up, left it cleaner than I found it. - doesn’t feel very safe, doors left open most of the time and only one locked door to get through. - quite overpriced for what you get, best part is location. (Good bus links/supermarket & train station)

Price, room design & size, location, facility were all superb to me. Most of the staff were very lovely and helpful except for this one staff who was always kind of rude to me for no reason. I don't know their name, but I guess it doesn't really matter. I did a lot of online shopping, which means the staff always get to keep my parcels and I often visited the receptionist to get my parcels. Every time I asked this one staff for my parcels (when they are on the receptionist) they always looked annoyed as if they were judging me for having too many parcels?! I mean, what's wrong with that? Isn't that your job to give me my parcels? Geez. I understand they probably are having a bad day or maybe it's just their attitude/personality? But you shouldn't do that to a resident. It's rude and it's giving me the impression that you don't like me, and I don't even know what I've done wrong. I'm not bashing, just giving an honest review & experience. I hope you can improve on that.

My first year at university was spent in home park since most of the time we were in lockdown. I cannot express how grateful I am to have come here. I meet people that I am taking for life and also living with next year, and the staff helped me through my darkest times. They helped me when I had no hope. And for that I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend home park and all its lovely people and environment.

Not so great experience this year. When I moved in, the kitchen was extremely dirty from a resident living there all summer through till after I arrived. I arrived 3 weeks before most students did, so there was no reason to put me in a flat with someone as many other flats were empty. When I booked the accommodation with my friends, the manager told us we could request particular details for a flat (i.e. number of flatmates, flat number, floor number etc). We did this, and ended up with the complete opposite... When I tried to do something about the dirty kitchen, the manager was extremely rude to me and refused to believe that there were flies everywhere in the kitchen and made a big scene in front of the rest of her staff about coming to visit the flat. There have been many unsafe incidents this year (hiring dodgy security staff who entered flats & studios for no reason). I would recommend HP only due to the convenient location, large rooms & the 2 staff members that were kind to me.

Don’t be fooled by previous good reviews. Where do I even start? The staff are useless and really don’t care about you. Begrudgingly give your parcels or reply to important emails. Make you feel like an inconvenience. Want somewhere clean to live? Don’t live here. 2 hoovers for hundreds of flats, corridors always manky. Things stolen and nothing done about it. Very expensive for the small room you get. Residents allowed to ruin flats and nothing is done. The noise... well that’s made worse because of the paper thin walls, meaning whenever a door is shut anywhere in the building it makes your room shake. If you’re unfortunate enough to end up living here, good luck. You’re going to need it.

The staff here are honestly a joke. Three people have had bikes stolen because the gate has been broken since September and the staff have said it’s their own fault because the gate is unlocked, they are so rude and think just because it’s a student halls they can speak to you however you like. There are two hoovers for over a thousand flats and they are always obviously taken. They really just do not care.

I ended up being transferred to Home Park but I wish I had picked it from the start. in a strange way, the name is oddly correct as Home Park really felt like a home away from home. the people I met here shaped me into who I am today and because of the environment plus how chill the building is on a whole, it's easy to make a spark a connection with anyone in this place. the staff really look out for you to giving out any help or advice they can or they'll even come out and have a smoke with you so you can have a chat. you'll normally see Natalie on the front desk giving everyone smiles if you're lucky (shes pretty good at that).

Staying at Home Park was a great decision for me. At first I was sceptical because I was worried about leaving everything I knew, but Home Parks team made the stay amazing. Lovely rooms with lovely staff members that make walking in and around the building feel like home. Always greeted when you walk in. The location was perfect for someone like me as we had everything around us in walking distance. We have a total of 4 supermarkets near us and the beach is so close you can walk it no problem. I myself have enjoyed my first year so much that I have already rebooked my room for next year. Lovely environment and lovely people. Well worth the price.

Absolutely adored being here so far, five weeks today and my experience is going well so far! The staff that work here are friendly and are so helpful. The placement of the building is in the right area for whatever you need, I mean spoons is basically a two minute walk away and who doesn’t love that?? Asda is nearby as well making it easier for you to do your shopping. The layout of your flat is also spacious and perfect. Love it love it love it

Home park is modern and clean as it is a new building, some of the door handle are broken and sometimes the lifts Are broken but are fixed promptly. My shower leaked but maintenance came and quickly fixed it. When it is raining the windows leak water on the floor which other people have told me they experience too which is annoying. The facilities are very good and the room and kitchen is lovely and the communal room is awesome.

I have loved every minute of being here, it makes leaving home less of an awful experience because you feel welcomed and relaxed here, there’s a lovely team who look after you and I feel very safe as there is always a security guard and they too are very friendly. The location is perfect as there are three different supermarkets within close walking distance and the beach is very close too! I’ve been very happy here for my first year!

Home Park is pretty great as far as halls go. In terms of the expected problems and traumas that supposedly occur in halls accomodation, I didn't really experience anything like that and my stay at Home Park has been great, I plan to stay again next year infact. The good: AMAZING fire alarm system. The flats alarms are individually triggered until they have being going for a certain amount of time, At which point the whole building is evacuated. Needless to say we have had 1 evacuation for the entire year and it wasn't in the middle of the night. As far as halls go, I'd say that's outstanding. The bad: Random liquids / food / other things do regularly show up in the elevators, for whatever reason it's ALWAYS the elevators that are an absolute state and never clean. Really, These should be looked at DAILY. People are dirty and while unfortunate this should really be an expected thing at this point and not just something people have to put up with.

Best accommodation for BU students BY FAR! Lovely rooms and amazing location, walking distance to all shops and clubs and right next to 4/5 bus stops into uni and to the beach. Reception staff are lovely

The staff at home park are wonderful, always have a smile on their faces and are more than happy to help with anything. This is one of the nicest student accommodations I have ever seen, so new and clean. The bathroom is definitely a highlight compared to others. Everyone is very social here and there is always some pres you can join. Location is perfect for all nightlife in bournemouth and with the convenience of Asda, cooperative and Tesco all less than a 5 minute walk away. Would definitely recommend to any student

Honestly I loved living at Home Park, I'm so sad to have to leave. The beds are very comfortable, there is loads of storage and desk space. The bathroom is one of the largest I've seen in student accommodation, the shower is much bigger than most. The reception team are very helpful and there are security guards at all times who are happy to help when you forget your fob. Overall I would highly recommend.

Lovely rooms, lovely layout overall, however the walls (as with any accommodation) are not as sound proofed as they could be and management like to be on your case about the pettiest things. Besides that, if you're not loud, don't mind a bit of noise and like to keep your kitchen literally spotless, then you shouldn't have any run ins with home park reception (really just one person). Fast wifi is also a plus, a good amount of plugs and pretty comfy beds. Plus you get to tell everyone you live in home park (currently the nicest accommodation)

Excellent facilities both in the flats and in social spaces, staff couldn't be friendlier, 24 hour security which makes me feel safe, the cleaner is constantly working in the communal areas and is very friendly, any maintenance problems are sorted very quickly and there is literally everything you need in walking distance... uni, Asda, co-op, Tesco, train station, bus routes, bars, clubs, shops, doctor's... Everything. Thoroughly recommend, I've already booked for next year.

Great halls with large spaces. Rooms are comfy and spacious. Study and social spaces are also of a great size with friendly staff despite the halls being a bit overpriced.
