Quite a lot going on in that area so nothing will look perfect unless you ran through.
Did the tiler lay some out on the floor beforehand to show you how it would look?
He has sort of got the bond right, but it is not consistent, you would do a 100-150mm step bond for tiles like that as if you laid one tile out on a perfectly flat bed you would see it cambers up slightly in the centre, tiles this length are never completely flat, hence instead of doing a half bond you would do a step bond of around 100-150mm so all the middle cambers are closer to each other and not resulting in a tile sticking up further than the edge of the tile either side if in a half bond. You can see in the left side how the step bond gradually goes one way with each row, but then he has a whole tile and the others are not in regular step bond onwards.
No room is ever perfectly square but you gauge it out first so you end up with decent cuts both ends not a sliver to nothing, hard to tell from that picture but surely tile runs should have been the opposite way around, plus I would fit threshold strips where the door linings are.

It's the most expensive private sale M135i on AT. The tailgate (not just the tailgate obviously but you get the idea).
It has been on sale since March and the owner hasn't clicked why it isn't selling. The lack of interior pictures and spec is only part of the problem.

But surely you’d run them lengthways along the longest run?

Flooring is generally laid in the direction of the light, so it looks like the right way to me (based on second picture!)
I’d have laid it that way with the door which OP never mentioned in the first post, however the joints are still horrendous and the tiler should have gauged the rows out, use a half tile at the start, to the right of the second pic with the door, and you wouldn’t end up with a horrible sliver that your eye notices isn’t parallel at the other end.

From a house over the road from me. Hedge removed from house boundary and along the path and replaced with a wall to make room for extending the block paving. Progress was very slow and when they removed the hessian, this was the result. All I see when I look out is the soldier course.
