My stay was pleasant. It was advised my room would have a separate but private bathroom. Positives are it’s very much within the village and all its beauty. Negatives are a very uncomfortable bed, an ant infestation , no TV and no breakfast. There are some sweet biscuits and small packed croissants and coffee. No milk. For €120 I suppose it’s what you might expect for Riomaggiore but there must be better choices available.

Ciao Rory,Glad that you knew before you arrived that you had a private bathroom but outside of the room (it's our only room that is set up this way). There is no mention in our Expedia page that there is a T.V. in any of our rooms and neither is there any mention that breakfast would be served to our clients. We are NOT a B&B but an Affittacamera.The coffee pods, tea bags and prepackaged items you found in your room are our complimentary offering to our clients.I have never had anyone complain about our bedding or ant infestation, however, this is something you could have mentioned during your stay.Regards,Maddy & Franco

Bathroom outside the room with horrible shower. No TV, horrible bed and sheets. Extremely noisy AC that doesn’t really work. Expired (free) goodies. Host not very polite (kind of rude).

Cara Marlene,Who was rude from the start was you. A 9 sq. meter bathroom I do not think is horrible especially for Italy's standard and I never had any complaints in 19 yrs. of this business. If you read the description of the room in Expedia as well as the bathroom you would have known b4 booking that the bathroom is a private bathroom but it is OUTSIDE of the room exclusively for your use. Obviously you didn't read that part did you. Also there is no mention in the description that there is a tv in any of my rooms of the Affittacamere.Furthermore, no one has ever complained about my sheets or the beds and I have 3 rooms maybe you have specific needs like satin sheets. If you know the world and technology all modern ACs have a button you can press for silent mode or night mode. This would have resolved the problem of it being as you say noisy.As for expired goodies -- I went to check all my products and since your brain is limited the numbers you read are not dates but product code numbers. FYI dates in Europe are indicated as day, month, year and not indicated as in America.Best Regards

Great place to stay with nice surprise perks
Posted Sep. 14, 2024 on HotelsGreat location and a great place to stay. Lots of snacks provided. Bed was a bit firm and no blackout blinds, but otherwise was perfect.

Thanks so much Jamie and Kseniya for writing a review. It means a lot to us. Glad to read you enjoyed your stay. FYI: In Italy there are shutters on the windows (when you checked in they were in the open position against the facade of the building) that when closed you have complete darkness in the room just like blackout blinds. All the best for your blessed event.Warmest Regards,Maddy & Franco

It would be nice to know what you did not find to your liking with the accommodations provided.You arrived and when at the front door, since you found it opened you decided to enter but then you didn't know where to go. Instead, at the front door you should have rang the bell for Il BoMa. I send explicit instructions (8 pages) prior to clients arrival. If you can't follow them..... Maybe you should listen to your better half.I guess it's a matter of opinion, seeing all the excellent reviews I have received in the past.

We loved this property. We were on the blue room. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was fantastic with a great shower. We loved the little balcony. The air conditioning was amazing and such a relief after a hot day. Coffee, snacks and a mini fridge were provided. The only thing of note is the stairs. It is two floors up but seriously worth every step.

This location was incredible. It was right off the Main Street of Riomaggiore. The owner was very kind and was accessible our entire stay via what’s app. We enjoyed all the places around us and our view.

Maddie was an excellent host and takes good care of the room and her guests. Always available when we had questions. We stayed in the standard room which had the private bathroom down the hallway, which we were nervous about but it was no problem. The bathroom is large and their is a shelf where you can keep your toiletries so you don’t have to carry them back and forth. The light in the hallway turns on automatically and the hallway is clean so it was absolutely fine. We never even ran into anyone in the hallway. Very convenient laundry a few doors down,
