Reviews of Gozo Escape

The property is gorgeous - massive and a wonderful space to fully relax in. There is a fully working kitchen and washing machine which is great. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.

Adding the cost of air con to an already very expensive rental seemed a little cheeky. The property will 100% require a car rental - there is nothing local to walk to. It would be good to provide more towels for the size of the property.

Good, speedy communication from the hosts Large spacious villa Pleasant outside lightning in the entrance and around the pool. Good poolside furniture and the pool was lovely. After a slight issue with the air-conditioning payment system the hosts were quick to offer a refund.

Lots of noisy building work going on next door all day and then into the early evening revving of large tractors or lorry engines. Air-conditioning requires payments of €1 & €2 coins which we were meant to get exchanged at the local supermarket. Unfortunately the supermarket were a little reluctant to exchange from their limited supplies and we had to make a special trip to an ATM to get cash out to exchange. We also had the payment machine not accept all the coins one evening so the air con ran out which made for an unpleasant night for our girls. All a bit of a fiasco! Overall Cleanliness, condition and decor of the villa throughout was quite basic and a little poor. There were swimming pool tiles missing and green marks around the waterline, tired browning tiles throughout the building. Uncomfortable couches, grubby hearth and surround, basic bathrooms etc etc On our first day we were surprised to say hello to a brown rat as it ran through the garden as well. No guaranteed parking (I'd imagine a nightmare for visitors with multiple cars) but there were places a little away from the villa in the local village.

Lovely, spacious villa. Nice pool and patio area. Very clean and had everything we needed. In a lovely village, with a supermarket 15 mins walk away. Friendly host, clear information.

The two not so great things are nothing to do with the villa or owner. There is a lot of building work going on Gozo so there was a big crane and a half built house over the back wall (but we got used to it and it wasn't particularly noisy) Lastly, you're very close to the other holiday villas so if you get rowdy neighbours, it can be a challenge!

We loved absolutely everything. First of all, the communication from owners before and during our stay was on time and very informative. The guide that was send before our trip was also a great addition. About the Dar ta' Lonza villa - absolute perfection. Our expectations were definitely fulfilled. Our group consisted of 7 people and everyone one of us enjoyed clean and cozy rooms with 5 bathrooms, clean and warm pool with 6 sunbeds. There was washing machine and grill area. Next to our villa there was a bus stop so the transportation to different cities was easy and fast. Just one thing, there is construction going on right before the pool area (the fence is pretty high so we didn't saw, smelled or heard a thing at the moment), but you should have that in mind when booking as the house they are building will get much larger in the future. Personally, the construction didn't bothered as at all. Lastly, we definitely recommend this villa if you want cozy and chill experience. Loved everything!!

Property spacious.

Cold floor for children, there were no shampoo or shower gel. Not very clean.

The quiet rural atmosphere of Gharb and its surroundings.

We stayed for 10 days from the 18th March onwards. One suggestion would be that a steady supply of firewood for the open fire should be provided as it could be quite cold at night.

The house is a beautiful house of character with a nice back yard with a pool and tasteful furniture. Kitchen is well equipped Communication was easy and we received good recommendations for where to eat and visit Gozo.

You will need to bring toiletries and apart from salt and pepper, you will need to bring all other things for preparing meals. During the colder months, the house is quite cold downstairs as there is no possibility to heat, but this is normal for such houses of character.

Located in a lovely quiet village with local amenities nearby. Perfect quiet, sunny stay for the October half term with a young family. Lots of space and feels like a home from home.. Owners are always on hand to deal with any issues and check in with you.

Really well situated in a good village. Clean and well set up in the house. Great property to stay at. Several restaurants within walking distance and shops close as well. Lovely morning sun on the terrace.

The sun left the terrace at about 3:30pm in September, but that wasn't really a problem.

Very nice holiday accommodation in a little village ( quiet - besides the bells of the church), with small pool and courtyard; nicely furnished. Everything we needed was available. Well working aircondition which was needed due to heat outside. We were invited to a complimentary cleaning service of the house during the stay.

On our booking.com confirmation aircondition was included in the quite significant high season rate. During our correspondence with the hosts before the trip we learned that we had to bring eur coins (quite a huge amount of coins for 8 nights!) in order to make the AirCo work.

We stayed in Dar ta' Betta for 11 nights. Villa was stunning with beautiful features and a good size pool. The villa had a toilet and shower in each bedroom. There was also an outside toilet which came in handy when using the pool. The kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable and towels provided. We requested a cot bed which was set up for us. Hosts were helpful and friendly. We had welcome bottles of water and local crisps. Location was close to central Victoria and surrounding beaches and bays. We received clear instructions on how to book in and hosts checked everything was good with our stay. Cleaner was very friendly. The pool guy came twice to check the chlorine levels in the pool. Local restaurants and shops just at the end of the road. Good AC in living room and both bedrooms. Coin operated and easy to use.

The local church has bells ringing every 15 mins 24/7 to tell the time. This wouldn’t stop us returning just good to know. Cannot park directly next to property but can find parking on the main road easily enough. Again wouldn’t stop us visiting.

Good sized pool and spacious villa

The peace and quiet

Great peaceful lovely pool really enjoyed it

The is central location and very quiete.

Comfortable, quiet. Lots of character.

Nothing to not like! Just one comment - could have done with a few more towels.

The location was near another villa where our friends were staying. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. It was within walking distance of a nice grocery store.

The downstairs was very cold inside when we arrived (9C or 48F). The booking used the term "AC" in the European way to mean both heating and cooling; so the heat is coin operated and it is only for the two upstairs bedrooms. The downstairs living area and kitchen remained cold for our entire visit. The host had somebody drop off wood for the fireplace, but it would not light, even when using the stove. We probably needed to buy a fire starter but by that time we had given up and were staying with our friends in another villa that had heat. Finding coins for the coin operated heat turned out to be more difficult than we thought. The grocery stores didn't want to give us coins and the banks weren't open for very long. We recommend you bring Euros with you!
