Room and building did not look like photos. Absolutely filthy, with insects, dirt and mould. Unmade beds, dim light, barley functioning sink or shower/toilet, no toilet paper or soap and smelled like urine and alcohol. Went to reception to complain, and the staff laughed in our face and tried to say they gave us the “wrong room key.” That is incorrect as the blonde girl that checked us in looked at her list and checked me off the list next to the room number. We Asked for a refund and they told us no and that we need to go and look at the correct room. We were very angry and upset and did not look at the so called “correct room.” as we know the older brunette woman was making up the fact that they gave us the wrong room, as if that was the case she would have double checked before the young blonde girl gave us the room key. She was there when we were handed the key initially. Other reviews also complain about the terrible accommodation and service.

Ok given what it cost to stay there.

The Happy Village was ok considering how much it cost but I won't go back again. The bungalows are like glorified sheds and extremely cold at night. I also didn't like the fact they provided no towels in your room unless you paid to hire them.

DONT DO IT

Nothing like the photos. Place looks ran down and derelict. Was mould and cobwebs in both ‘economy’ (shed with a bed in it) and ‘deluxe’ (Shed with a bed, tv, fridge in it) as much as it was to just get our heads down there was no chance we was sleeping there. Both got bitten about 10 times in the space of the hour being there aswell.

Thankfully it was 1 Night

This wasn't the best, but it was something we came to expect when booking our stay. We only stayed 1 night as we had travelled far to come to Rome our we just wanted to spend as less as possible on a 1 night stay. The cleanness was below standards, in that the shower room had strands of hair on the floor. Where our room was there was no access to WiFi and the Snack bar/deli seems to only open in the summer.

it not a hotel but a camp site with bungalows.

having booked this place before reading the reviews, I became disturbed and wanted to change my booking after reading the reviews But because it cannot be changed nor refunded I had to go ahead with it. Happy village is not a hotel. It is a camp site. where people can camp in caravans and tents . It has bungalows as well. it has an adult pool and the children pool too. It has a restaurant, small shop, washing machines and dryers. on arrival I was surprised with the place because I was expecting the worse. It is located far away from town but the shuttle bus made commuting easy and the driver of the mini bus very helpful. The bungalow I stayed in was clean on arrival and sizable. They offer daily clean at the price of 20 Euro but free weekly cleaning which I was not happy with because they cleaners only changed the bedsheets , no proper cleaning which you expect after a whole week. They offer toiletries on arrival and no more. They offer WiFi one hour for 2 euro but we had problems with Internet connection when in the bungalow sometimes we have to go close to the reception to get Internet even after paying for it. The staffs are friendly. their pizzas are good. The television in my bungalow is the old box tv with only free channels in Italian language. there is air condition in the bungalow I stayed which was working very well. We enjoyed the pools. It is a very quiet area and nice but not a hotel.

Enjoyable little retreat from Rome centre

My partner and I stayed here for 6 nights in July. Despite all the horrifying reviews on here, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were welcomed by friendly reception staff who pointed us straight to our 'cabin'. The room was clean and everything in working order. It was a tad small with not much light, however ideal for us as we only needed a place to sleep. A mini fridge was also provided which was ideal for storing drinks. Up the hill is the restaurant, mini market and pool area. Restaurant food was pretty decent and the staff were polite yet slow and forgetful. The mini market was ideal - we bought water from here daily. It offers several beverages, some food for cooking & other home necessities like washing liquid and toilet rolls. The only downside to the pool was that it opened at 10am and closed at 7pm - meaning that you had to spend the day at camp in order to access the pool. However it was clean and enjoyable. Swimming hats are a must - you can buy these from the mini shop for around 3 euros - or bring your own. Free shuttle service runs throughout the day (timetable is provided at reception) - this takes you from the hotel to the nearby Prima Porta station. The morning shuttle is ideal, however after 2pm the shuttles become less frequent and if you miss it, it's a long wait for the next one. The driver was cheerful and helpful, singing along with passengers and making the journey far more enjoyable. Bring your own towels & toilet paper as these are not provided.

when we arrived we found we had been booked into a tin shed with two beds in. there were no cooking facilities with this room. it is advertised as a bungalow and when I booked through expedia they assured me there would be a kitchen. we changed our accommodation the next day and had to pay an extra 200pounds. advertised on the sight is a supermarket at the gates. do not be fooled there isn't a supermarket. there is a tiny back room shop which has the very basic of stock. there is a free shuttle to prima porta which is the train station that takes you into rome central. you have to keep your eye on the time though as you don't want to miss the last return shuttle. prima porta is a very rough area and not somewhere you would want to be stuck. the swimming pool area is lovely and was generally quiet. there is a restaurant onsite and this is the only one around without taking the shuttle bus and going into rome. on the sunday however when we stayed the owners had a private party going on. we were not made aware of this and had planned to spend all day at the pool. we were allowed in the pool while everyone was arriving and partying in there sunday bests. however when I went in to order some food for lunch from the only place available to us they said they would not be able to provide us with food as they have the private function going on. It would have been nice for them to have made the campers aware of this prior to the party we could have then made other plans.

Abysmal

Horrible from the start. It's in the middle of nowhere with limited transport available, they offer a shuttle to make up for it ... But at the most inconvenient times! The shower leaked into the rest of the room, the wifi only works in some areas and once connected it took days to load anything. It was so terrible we booked for 4 nights and only stayed for 1!! Would not recommend to anyone.

Pleasant after a terrible experience at camp Jolly in Venice. Shuttle from station was free and driver was pleasant. However, directions to Prima Porta station to get shuttle bus was poor as no one at Rome Termini could help us.Reception at camp was good. We were preapred for things not included in stay - no towels, toilet paper and having to wear swimming caps, so we enjoyed our stay. Good to have a swim after a long, hot, sticky day in Rome city centre. A pity the pool didn't stay open for longer - at least till 8 or 8:30pm since it is summer time. The shop is poorly stocked so stock up before getting your shuttle back to camp. A fan and a little fridge in the room would've been welcoming.

arrived an hour early but was checked in straight away, camp staff willing to help at all times. room size was a bit small but the sheets were spotless on all beds. had adequate cooking facilities. air conditioning was a godsend was able to get room to under 16 to cool from the intensive heat from the sun. pool facilities were excellent, restaurant on site is good. dont expect the driver of the bus to take you out on a sunday as it's his only day off. there is a bus that will take you to the metro on a sunday a short walk from the camp. Bus to the nearest metro was always on time, driver was very helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed in the Tevere bungalows at Happy Village and Camping in Rome. The room was only just big enough for the two of us, but had an amazing amount of storage. The air conditioning worked fantastically and kept us lovely and cool! The overall upkeep and cleanliness of the bungalow was not perfect, but adequate considering we were only sleeping and showering here. The lighting was awful, only three small spotlights in the main room. The bathroom/ shower was also quite dingey and the shower tap was very dirty, also the shower head didn't fit into it's holder so we had to hold it whilst showering (first world problems). The restaurant was superb! The food was delicious and cheap. Could have had a bigger menu with a wider variety of options though. The staff were friendly and helpful, and quick to solve any queries about travel or money etc. The pools were very clean and the area surrounding was very tidy. Only problem was the pool was only open until 7pm and you had to wear a hair cap. It is a little distance outside of Rome. About half an hour by metro then train for Termini Station, then there is a 15 minute shuttle bus off the train every hour or so. I enjoyed the travelling though, so it didn't bother me. Others may not enjoy doing that though. It's about 60 euros by taxi from Fiumicino Airport. Travel for a week in Rome is only 24 euros for the metro, train and bus though. Overall the bungalow was worth the amount of money we spent on it, we enjoyed our stay :)

Great base for enjoying Rome. Room was basic but all you need. Could do with a kettle. Staff here are all friendly and helpful. The restaurant is excellent. There is a free bus which takes to nearest train and bus station, where there are trains into Rome every 10 mins at least. Journey takes about 10 mins in bus to station and around 20 mins on train to Rome.

Worst Night Of Our Lives

My friend and I decided to stay here for our spring break and it quickly became the worst experience of our lives. We were unable to reach the organization by phone and that resulted in us (two young girls) wandering around Prima Porta alone at 21:00 trying to find our way there since we couldn't ask when the shuttle was. Then when we finally made it there our room had bedbugs. While the maintenance man was kind enough to move us to a better room for the night, the organization proceeded to charge us for an upgrade (to a room that was honestly much nicer) so that we could have a room without bedbugs, which are completely unacceptable. The wifi also would not possibly work in the room they provided us, which is not what their website claims. We understand we chose a site that isn't a five star hotel and we weren't expecting anything fancy, we were however expecting to have a clean, safe room for the few nights we were there. We will never return to this place, and recommend that no one else does either.

Lovely, Comfortable and Just what we needed!

We arrived at the camping site a little earlier but as it was out of season there was no problem booking in. We were informed of everything we needed to know at the reception which was great. We had a lovely and peaceful stay for the 3 days we were there and were very grateful for all the help we had whilst there including the shuttle from the camping village to Prima Porta. The shuttle bus is great just make sure you know the times before you arrive so your not waiting around for a long time as they keep to the timetable. From reading previous reviews we didn't understand the annoyance with having to buy your own toilet roll, you;re provided with one and they have a shop onsite that sells it quite cheaply. People need to remember its a CAMPING SITE! Our bed was lovely and our Tevere was very comfortable with all the amenities we needed. Our shower was amazing and really refreshing after some of our amazing days around Rome. From Prima Porta it takes roughly 25mins to get to Flaminio where you can see the Piazza del Popolo, this was our main base for the three days but from Flaminio we would cross the road and go on the metro to Ottaviano. Te whole metro and train system is really easy to work out and it does translate to english and also tells you what is at every station; for example: Ottaviano (Museo Vaticani) / Baberini (Fontana di Trevi) We had a lovely and peaceful time at Happy Camping. Thank you for having us.

Nice quiet location.

Being country bumpkins our arrival in Rome during rush hour was a shock to the system to say the least. Arriving at our destination after being greeted by such a friendly "happy" bus driver and an equally gracious booking clerk we were well pleased with our accommodation. The room and shower/toilet were clean although in need of a bit of TLC (curtains could do with a wash/wall with a touch of paint/bathroom tiles and fittings with a clean up). A couple of extra pillows would not have gone amiss either. The TV was a bit of a disappointment and we ended up watching War Horse in Italian!! No international channels available. The room would hugely benefit if a kettle and cups etc. were made available to residents for that all necessary cup of coffee/tea first thing in the morning. Although a vending machine is available on site it is some distance from the bungalows and requires a walk where one is open to the elements. The staff at the onsite restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was good although we found a really nice place close to Prima Porta station that served lovely coffee and good food at very reasonable prices. The onsite shop/market was really poorly stocked and it was best to do whatever shopping was needed in Prima Porta itself. All in all we did enjoy our stay and would recommend the resort to people who are looking for a less hectic experience of Rome.
