Guest Reviews

• Esperanza (8/5): - We had a very nice stay at Folia B & B for the most part. Our host Chiara was very nice and explained things about the apartment. She even gave us information about places to visit in Rome by explaining it on a map. The apartment had enough space for my family of four. There was only one issue in the restroom with flushing. Our host did try to repair it and and she messaged us to check how we were doing. She said she was going to have that repaired after our stay since we were there for a weekend.
• SUZANNE (10/5): Great location! Clean and comfortable! - We had a wonderful experience at Folia B&B. Chiara was very helpful and spoke great English. She tidied the room every day. The shared kitchen was immaculate. There was refrigerator and freezer space available. Breakfast was simple but more than sufficient. Coffee, tea, juices, yogurt, toast, jam, cereal and milk, supply refreshed everyday. Chiara made everything pleasant and easy for us to enjoy this beautiful city!
• João Paulo (10/5): - A estadia foi sensacional, tudo muito bom! A Chiara é uma excelente host.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Not a good summer place!!! - The matron insisted we turn OFF the much needed A/C during the day. It NEVER got cool during the hot night. Beyond ridiculous! That alone made the stay very miserable. Breakfast was not great. The several keys needed for everything was a big pain. Definitely would NEVER stay there again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The perfect location in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to the Vatican and central Rome but also 2 blocks from the metro to go straight to the Colloseum / other further sights. Very clean and comfortable, we had a room with a separate bathroom (which was our own with a key) and there is a shared kitchen space with espresso, milk and basic cereals for breakfast. Very easy and comfortable, we would stay here again!
• Sugey M Martinez (10/5): - Excelent Service and the Houst was very welcoming and payed attention to our needs.
• Rachel (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at the apartment! It is clean, cosy and also very private. It is conveniently located a few minutes walk from the nearest metro, St. Peter’s Basilica and The Vatican. Chiara was very helpful when we needed help with our luggage delay. Even taking the extra mile to help us make phone calls to the airlines. Thanks Chiara! We hope to stay with you again when we’re back in Rome!
• Birgit (10/5): - Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Unterkunft! Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig: Ein Schlafzimmer mit großem Doppelbett und ein Wohnzimmer mit einem bequemen Schlafsofa. Dazu eine voll ausgestattete Küche und ein Badezimmer. Alles war sehr sauber. Frühstück (Toast, Butter, Marmelade, süße Teilchen, Yoghurt, Kaffe, Tee, Milch, Säfte,…) gab es ausreichend, die Wohnungsvermieterin hatte extra nochmal für uns eingekauft. Die Lage der Wohnung ist gut, ca. 10 min zu Fuß zum Petersplatz, 5 min zur U-Bahn. Bei der Ankuft wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und eingewiesen inclusive Tipps, wo man gut essen gehen kann, usw. Alles in allem würden wir auf jeden Fall wieder dort bleiben!
• Kathrin Jennifer (8/5): - Sehr schöne Lage. Zu Fuß alles erreichbar. Chiara ist eine sehr sympathische und tolle Gastgeberin. Ich würde die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen
• David (10/5): Really nice place to stay in Rome! - Chiara was an excellent host. She allowed us to check in early as we had issues with our lost luggage at the airport. She even helped arranged transfers from the airport.
• Leslie (10/5): - Chiara at the Folia B&B was lovely, & extremely helpful in all aspects of our time in Rome, she even booked our pickups from, & back to the airport. My wife & I were greeted & welcomed as soon as we arrived, which was really nice. Chiara even made us a cup of coffee, which was a lovely touch. Our room was immaculate, & tidied every day. Breakfast was good, & Chiara even did our washing up, which was very helpful indeed. We would highly recommend the Folia B&B, its location was brilliant, we could even see the Vatican wall from our window, & the metro was only a minute away. Fabulous holiday. Thanks Chiara x
• CELIA JOSEFINA RODRIGUEZ (10/5): - Una atención maravillosa por parte de nuestra anfitriona Chiara, siempre atenta a lo que necesitamos. La habitación tiene baño privado. Nos dejaron bocadillos en la habitación, así como sobrecitos de té. Tuvimos acceso a la cocina compartida con cafetera y un espacio designado para la habitación en el refrigerador, el cual está surtido con jugos, leche y yogurt
• NicB806 (10/5): Comfortable, clean and overall a lovely place to stay! - We had an amazing stay here and would definitely come back in a heartbeat. The owner was really welcoming and knowledgeable about the best places/ restaurants in Rome and the room and kitchen were always spotlessly cleaned. The B&B is situated right outside the Vatican walls close to an amazing gelato shop and taxi rank which is a bonus!
• Simone (10/5): - Great location, quiet, lovely property owner and staff . Would definitely stay again
• ALLISON (10/5): - Communication with the manager of the property was seamless. Her knowledge of the area and suggestions for dinner and sites to see was extremely helpful. We were provided a map and detailed information for how to get around Rome. The location of this property is fantastic as well.
• thomasmisssophiet (10/5): Lovely B&B! - Amazing b&b!! The room was spotlessly clean and very modern. The en-suite bathroom was of a good size and again, spotless with shower gel provided. The room had a large window that overlooked the street, the b&b is on the fourth floor of a residential building so there was no noise from the road and we had perfect sleeps every night. Chiara, the host was so lovely and inviting, recommending places to eat and helping with transport. Location wise is perfect, a 2 minute walk to Vatican City and maybe 30 minutes to every other site. The surrounding area felt very safe and was a bit quieter than nearer the other attractions. Overall a great stay and would love to stay here again!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Close to Vetican - Friendly host, conviniently located, clean, quiet, compact
• DianaH3310 (10/5): Very nice - When you arrive, pleas push the button outside the huge door for Folia. We missed that requirement to get a hold of Chiara. It was a nice room. The breakfast was basic but good. We shared the kitchen with 2 other couples which we only saw for about 15mins in 2 days. Everything was updated. Chiara was happy to help before and during our stay. The Lemon Grass Gelato shop was right there. Yum. Amalfi was across the street for the best calzone I've ever eaten. Highly recommend.
• Lisa (10/5): Home away from home - Chiara was the absolute best host! We loved the location and the “at home” feeling!
• hakkebif68 (10/5): Fabulous stay in central B&B - We stayed at Folia B&B for five days. It was a very pleasant experience. The room was nice and clean, and the kitchen well equipped. The host was extremely friendly and helpfull. We really enjoyed our stay. The appartment is situated in the middle of Rome just five minutes on foot from the Vatican City and Saint Peters Square, You literally walk out of the door and to the right, over a square and then you are at the Vatican City Wall. We warmly reccomend this cosy bed and breakfast and we will definitely be back.
• Annika (8/5): - Liked staying in Rome, in the middle of the city. Friendly host, clean apartment. But, unfortunately, the breakfast was underwhelming due to self service with yoghurt and prepacked toast only.
• Nora (10/5): - Perfect and safe location. Close to the Vatican and the metro station. There are restaurants and a big market and small supermarkets around. The apartment was comfortable and clean and well supplied. Chiara, the owner, was very nice, friendly and helpful. Told us how to get around the city, where to eat and how to use the public transit. Also helped us with transportation to the airport. Recommend and will stay there again.
• Martin (10/5): - The location is residential and close to shopping and restaurants and what you could need. It's not crowded like the city center and restaurants have decent prices. Chiara was a great host. She helped us a with our questions. I totally recommend this place. It's also close to metro and the Vatican.
• Harshita (10/5): - Thoroughly enjoy my stay at Folia B&B! The place was modern, clean and had everything I needed for a short stay. It’s also in a great location, only a few steps from the Vatican and several attractions in the city. The host was very welcoming and provided a lot of local recommendations which was great! Highly recommend this place.
• Trip21484818517 (10/5): Great stay near the vatican - Everything was perfect, very clean room with a beautiful lightning and waking up so close to san pietro is awesome. The host is very nice and answered all our questions. Breakfast was on point even though everything was packed because of covid (there's a coffee machine and other stuff too). The area is quiet at night, not usual for rome and it was nice sleeping without car noises. Great price for the experience.
• ryank562 (2/5): Poor Service - We had booked to stay with this hotel but a family member we spent the whole Christmas in close proximity with contracted Covid on the 27th of December, therefore were both in the incubation period whereby we could test negative but could still be in the process of contracting the illness. Therefore, it wouldn’t have been responsible to travel to Rome and potentially infect people on the flight or hotel. As well as this holiday was booked for new years eve and my birthday (new years day) but from the time of booking there are more restrictions in place in the city such as ALL nightclubs and New Year’s Eve events are all closed, this drastically changes the nature of our trip. On the basis of it being unsafe to travel, we requested a cancellation and reschedule on the 27th of December at our earliest opportunity. The owner did not get back to us until the 28th and then proceeded to take the full amount with no warning from our account before discussing any options. We do not feel this represents good customer service and fair treatment at all. The owner then said she would try and compensate us if she re-sells the room, which of course we have no control or ability to monitor, as well as two free days in Jan, which does not make sense to us as the restrictions are still in place during this month we would not look to rebook until April, when the affects have lessened and restrictions lifted. We have since been ignored by the owner. We have had to pay the full sum for the booking, we were happy to pay a fine or move the holiday but no accommodation was made at all, this is very poor considering the current climate and it would not have been responsible to travel during this period. We contacted Booking.com who explained they tried to come to an arrangement with the hotel but the hotel refused and took full payment. Be very careful before booking a holiday with this hotel.
• patbC4843UA (10/5): Amazing place, amazing manager in amazing city - I’ve stayed in 30 to 40 bed-and-breakfast and this is by far the best one I’ve ever stayed at. It was incredibly clean, the manager spent an hour sharing tips on Rome and answering all of our questions when we arrived and the room was newly redecorated completely eco friendly
• Verified traveler (10/5): - One of the best experience ever. Located just a 5 min walk from the St Peter's Basilica. The room is very nice, spacious and very clean. A lot of good restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. The subway station Ottaviano/San Pietro at the end of the street. Chiara is a lovely host. Definitely recommend!!
• framen2017 (10/5): Fantastic B&B close to Vatican - A truly special B&B, both for the hospitality of the owner and for the quality of the structure. Furthermore, the position of the B&B allows you to quickly reach all the points of interest in Rome, because it is located a few steps from the Vatican and just two minutes from the Ottaviano metro stop!
• 820ffe (10/5): TOP QUALITY !!! - This b&b is in the city center, in the Vatican area. The apartment is very clean, the room so spacious, the cleaning excellent. I definitely recommend this b&b! Thank you guys for everything. Looking forward to seeing you again!
• AspasiaB1 (10/5): Amazing! - This was an amazing experience for both me and my partner. The room was right next to the Vatican and the metro station Ottaviano, which made it very convenient for all our activities. Clean, comfortable, self-served breakfast and snacks available (like cake, fresh fruit etc) for us to take. Federico made our trip to Rome extra special by giving us info for the best pasta, pizza, beverages etc. Thank you so much! We will come back!!!
• L8827KXadrianr (10/5): Best place you will ever find in Rome! - This B&B made our whole experience in Rome unforgettable! It is located near everything one might want to see as a tourist, for example the Vatican. Not only were the rooms so fresh and beautifully decorated but the hostesses Chiara and Federico were so service minded, kind, welcoming and helpful. They were available at any time of the day and gave us all the advice that we could possibly need. How amazing is it that with this B&B you not only get a fresh room with such comfortable beds but you also get hostesses that include such high and genuine service, free guiding and advice and all the help you could need to feel comfortable to walk around on the beautiful streets of Rome. We genuinely recommend this B&B to anyone who is about to visit Rome - there is no way you will be disappointed. A big thank you, to the lovely hostesses Chiara and Federico for making our stay in Rome so great. Bacio from us to you! /A & D
• fimc2018 (10/5): Lovely b&b stay next to the Vatican - I took my boyfriend to Rome for his birthday - the couple who ran Folia b&b were so lovely and helpful, they sat down with us and made loads of recommendation for restaurants/lunch/gelato and key areas of interest and how to use public transport. The accommodation itself was beautiful, the images online are representative of what it really looked like and the rooms are air conditioned. Right next to the Vatican, so its a great location to get there early to beat the queues, only 55 min walk to the colesuem and 45 min walk to Trastevere but you can also get public transport. Definitely recommend!
• V813EQmelanieb (10/5): Amazing stay in Rome - The Folia b&b made our stay in Rome perfect. It's very close to the Vatican, and there's a metro station just nearby. The rooms have got air conditioning. Breakfast is included too. Honestly, there's all you need. Furthermore, Chiara and Federico are lovely hosts; they gave many precious tips for our stay in Rome. Thank you for being such lovely hosts!
• P4541FQtimothyh (8/5): Great place to stay in Rome! - A very welcoming B&B for a few days in Rome. Close to Vatican City. The hosts were most helpful and provided lots of info. about where to go and what to see. A well kept, air conditioned clean room with attractive decor and fittings - simple breakfast provided every day. It was hot in the city so were pleased to get back to the coolness of the room to recover and use the facilities in the kitchen. The area is busy so inevitably there was a bit of noise outside at night, but not really a problem - it's what you expect. Overall, very pleased.
