If they are your friend and it’s their first time visiting?

I always tell my friends how nice I think their homes are when I visit - even if it’s not to my taste in the slightest.

Why?

There’s always something positive you can comment on but I wouldn’t tell someone their house was nice if I didn’t think it was. I might comment on a picture or the colour of the wallpaper or something else that I liked so I was being authentic.

The trick is to find something you genuinely like and say that. If you can’t find anything, don’t say anything.

Just because you are doing it doesn’t mean everyone else should. Oh, it’s good manners, is it? Even if they don’t like it? Since when did lying become good manners?

I compliment if I genuinely think it’s lovely, if I don’t like it or have no thoughts either way, I just say nothing. Why do you want false compliments? Surely you want to know that someone is being genuine when they say nice things? If everyone gives compliments for any reason then it just makes them totally meaningless.

Yes it’s good manners to say something nice or notice if something has changed, it wouldn’t bother me if someone didn’t though, but I like to if I’m around someone else’s.

Never thought about it. I don't think I would say anything. It would be like commenting on their appearance, best avoided.
