• oviedo (10/5): Descanso, paz y buen ambiente - Es un ambiente tranquilo, limpio, de paz y rodeado de buenas personas. Amo 🥰 Todo estuvo muy bien.
• Nataiza (5/5): I would not have stayed here if I had known all this 😕 - The property was a school and also a hostel. There is not much of a social area. I didn’t like that the staff stayed up until almost 12 and were so loud I could hear them all the way in the room while I was trying to sleep as I had an early flight in the morning. The roads are really bad also because they’re dirt roads to get there.

• Maouhub (8/5): Very good -
• Ibrahim (10/5): Exceptional - The Staff is excellent, the Environment and the Accomodation The prize is too high
• Henry (9/5): Superb -
• Hamza (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is very welcoming, helpful and cooperative. The place is clean and well kept. It has alot of nature and you will feel the vibe of serene countryside. The location is slightly remote but the good thing is that a shuttle service to/from airport is available if notified before arrival/departure.
• Davidson (9/5): Lovely place to stay - Lovely friendly interesting place.
• Reut (10/5): Exceptional - What a wonderful experience! Truly lovely and amazing people, who I enjoyed meeting and connecting with. Thank you Mimmo and Roberta! Thank you for coming to pick me up late and making sure I'm comfortable. The atmosphere of the place is very good. It's pleasant and relaxing and the idea beyond the place and education is great and gives good energy to the place. I felt at home. It's beautiful inside and especially out and I loved the pond with the frogs.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Constance (7/5): Good - Clean, nice staff, informative/helpful Cost to go the 13km to the airport (40 euro!!!)
• Dorottya (10/5): Experience this hostel if you love nature - It’s on the countryside with a very charming atmosphere. If you are a nature lover you definitely have to go there. So quiet and calm with chirping birds and cats. As it’s outside of the city, the supermarket is that close, count with it. The room was really lovely, the bed is comfortable. I got a towel and a shower gel also. The hosts are one of the most kindest persons with whom I met ☺️
• Nicusor (1/5): Do not book even if desperate, a night in the airport it’s way better - Nothing It’s a school with lots of kids around which we had no clue about, when we arrived it has been told us that we can cancel if we’re not happy with this and we are going to be fully refunded but they wouldn’t reply to email, phone calls or messages on booking platform, and you must have in mind that there it’s not taxi or Uber going or picking up from there as it’s in the middle of nothing and the roads are inaccessible with anything else other then SUV’s.
• Seyyedshaygan (4/5): Bad Location, Amazing staff. Squeaky bed. - The staff were lovely and the shuttle service came in handy more than once. By staying at this property, you also support a school which is nice to know. The location is terrible. If you are booking for the sole purpose of being close to the airport, don't book! On the map it's seems close but because it's on the other side of the river Tiber, you have to go a long time to get to the place from the airport. Forget about walking. Your only option is a cab. I used their shuttle service and the cost is reasonable. For someone who's used to walking from place to place, this stay was terrible because the only way to get to and from the place was with a car. If you don't mind the location and want a quiet visit in a beautiful place, then this is a good option. Also the beds are very low and close to the floor and they squeak. A lot!
• Mathieu (10/5): A very god value for money stay near to the airport, comfortable and very friendly - The welcomed part, the staff and the room, all was very perfect (also breakfast) and the owner get me directly to the airport Nothing, all was very perfect
• Kento (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wes (8/5): Very good - Friendly staff and a great experience compared to a typical hostel. You also help a school by staying there which feels good. It was a little out of the way, slightly difficult for arriving, leaving, and getting food but they offer shuttles and a great pizza restaurant nearby that delivers.
• Peter (9/5): Superb - Super friendly people, located in wonderful country home. Bit off centre of town but in walking distance. You can get to the Fiumicino airport in 15min by Uber.
• Bipasha (8/5): Beautiful place - Absolutely wholesome stay and friendly staff . The location was a bit further from the main town which was a hassle but the staff provided transport back and forth from the station.
• Matthias (10/5): Perfect - Great weather (not included in the reservation, but nice to have), great atmosphere, great garden and a great project with a big heart for children. Heavily recommended
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - The team was super welcoming and friendly I had a great stay
• Lukoševičiūtė (9/5): Superb -
• Yifei (8/5): Peaceful and nice environment - I asked lot of things before I came to this place and they always responded my every question with great patience , Jennifer picked me up from train station she’s friendly also always helpful . They sent me to airport in early morning which very appreciated, it’s huge beautiful place with 4 lovely cats:) It’s a wonderful experience stay in suburban There’s nothing around only wide field and long road if you want find supermarket then have to at least 40mins by walk
• Armen (10/5): Exceptional -
• M (7/5): pleasant - Cleanliness, space, garden, parking, location near the airport. To access the property, the road was bumpy.
• Desmornes (8/5): Very good -
• Alvaro (10/5): Exceptional -
• Salman (7/5): Overall i would prefer to choose in the city center. As a tourist one may face problems unless you have a car and you go - The property was clean and tidy inside , beds were not comfortable. There were no lockers that i could lock my stuff. The good thing was that the property owner dropped to the nearest strain station. The property location is in country side and no bus or train can take you there from Airport. It took me 1.5 hr to get a taxi for this location in the midnight. Its a farm in the jungle with no lighting. It dependa on the person choice if he has a car and he wants to stay near airport as it will be easy to catch the flight then good to go otherwise better to find some option in city center.
• Thomas (5/5): Super basic, peaceful .. but too far from the airport or anything to be useful - Some nature and quiet No way to walk to the airport. Forget it.. trapped by a river and the cost of a single 15 min trip to the airport is more than a stay there. Beds are poor and make a lot of noise
• Kerry (10/5): Gorgeous - A beautiful haven in the countryside with wonderful people.
• Raymond (10/5): A truly pleasant suprize, off the beaten path but well worth the effort. - Beautiful location, away from the crowds and noise. A great way to relax before continuing on with a trip or hopping on an airplane home. It is a bit out of the way so be sure to contact the Escuelita folks about the best way to get there and the availability of the shuttle. It is located neat the old Roman port of Ostia Antica (Ancient Ostia) which is the archeological site dedicated to the ancient seaport of Rome. It is a huge and interesting site, without crowds of tourists.
• Kris (10/5): Exceptional - Incredibile atmosphere
• Sergio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mag. (6/5): All in all: for one night it is manageable to stay there. - Paolo and Massimo are quite friendy hosts. They are supportive and try to help if help is needed. They are reliable persons, I guess. The room with four beds is very small. You do not have extra space for lagguage and clothes. The "beds" consist of worn out mattresses and the wooden constructions below are making strange noises.
• Sanazk1 (8/5): Very good - Paulo , the host, was very helpful and accommodating.
• Grace (10/5): Exceptional - Paolo was an exceptional host collecting me from the airport and dropping me off the following day. Everything was perfect for a short overnight stay.
• Tali (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jordan (10/5): Exceptional - Everyone was very kind and very welcoming. Had an amazing experience staying here
• Kieu (9/5): Good - This place is 13 km from the airport, I arrived there at midnight, but if you contact the owner in advance, they will help you book a car at a reasonable price. I really like staying at this hostel, because as I know this is a small private school for children, so everyone here is very kind and everything here is very cute. The owner treated me very well, I want to thank them wholeheartedly.
• Maria (9/5): It make sense with the price - Lovely The people
• Xhafaj (10/5): Exceptional - The place was lovely and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I didn't get to spend a lot of time there I was only there for one night, however you could feel the friendliness and good energy of the place. Paul was very friendly and patient in explaining things, and also Giordana who drove me at the airport tried her best to meet my needs. The room was clean and spacious, towels and shampoo were provided and there were also snacks and coffee for breakfast which I found it very handy as long as I was leaving early. I would highly recommend this place and I will also go there myself next time I am in Rome to spend a bit more time on the spacious farm with the lovely cats.
• Aarón (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arantza (9/5): Superb -
• Seren (10/5): A perfect place to relax in peace in the crowded and fast-paced wonderful Rome - I have to come to Rome for 1-2 days almost every week and it was my first time staying here. It has a wonderful ambiance, the house is very clean, the surroundings are very calm. They have created a wonderful living space in nature. Everything you will need in the house has been thought of. The common areas are very tidy and hygienic. The rooms are spotless. The owner Paolo is an incredibly sweet person, helpful, smiling and friendly. It is an ideal place to take long walks and spend time in the serenity. If you are looking for a place to stay before or after your flight,or if you want to have a holiday with your friends, or if you come over for a job interview or exams, you can choose it without hesitation. It is far from the city center, it may be a little difficult for public transportation in terms of tourism, but if you have a car, you should stay here. After visiting the wonderful ancient Rome, a rest in nature would be awesome at all! Thank you very much for everything. See you again. nothing
• Charles (10/5): this is ideal for the people who like to experience the 'back to basics' - very convenient
• Samhar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rashid (1/5): Bad - Nothing even no one there when I arrived
