we stayed at B&B maria during our family holiday, with our 2 kids.
the B&B was so nice and cozy, our room was big and comfortable for us.the breakfast served in the fabulous garden and it was exellent, and the location was perfect about 10 min. walking from the main tourist attractions .
it the best value for money, we had such a wonderful time at rome.

The B7B was full so we received a room loctaed 1 block from the Coloseum. What a nice suprize to find this roon with clean beds, they took care for food for us and a maid visited us everyday.

We love B&Bs as we feel it allows us to get a feel for the community. For 75 euros a night we knew we wouldn't be staying at the Ritz but did expect a "hosted" stay and breakfast, neither of which were provided. All I can say is if you are thinking of a B&B in Rome, don't stay here!

I have been to Rome 3 times. Twice I have booked with Italia Lodging, twice my accommodation has been changed on arrival!

Just want to be clear, Maria B&B seems to consist of a network of B&Bs. The first time I booked I was lucky in the version of Maria B&B which has a courtyard and is all newly rennovated. However, I was with a group of 10 friends and although we had booked together to stay in one location, we were split up into different locations - not at all ideal! Unfortunately, the rest of the group were taken off tostay at a B&B 10 minutes away and was in a much worse area, with lower quality accommodation, B&B Maria - the ugly sister it would seem!.

Last weekend I'd actually booked to stay at B&B Emanuele on Via Bixio, but ended up at guess what...B&B Maria, but not the nice one , the ugly sister!

It was confusing as we were told we were now staying at Maria B&B, but all the signs said B&B Chiara Stella. Then it clicked, this must be a scam they've got going on between a netowrk of B&Bs. Take the bookings on Italia lodging website and then allocate on arrival.

We had no explanation as to why we were being moved just a print out that said due to 'technical problems' we were being moved, the woman taking us to our alternative accommodation spoke no english and I gave up trying to find out why this was happening again. She mistakingly gave me 2 sheets, the other was obviously for another guest to whom the same thing was happening.

See my review of Chiara Stella/Maria B&B for more details of where we ended up!

I won't be using this website (italia lodging) for booking again as I don't like the allocated on arrival process.
