    The main bedroom has only blinds which do not properly close thus do not shield light from the street lamp. Downstairs bathroom didn't have soap or toilet paper. Moreover brooms and spade with dust where left near thr toilet.

    Well equipped. Beds comfortable. Fully airconditioned.

    A typical Maltese house!

    • Stayed 6 nights

    There was no shower mat in the bathroom and one in the kitchen to avoid wetting the floor when washing dishes, and there were no dishcloths (we used rags found at home), paper towels, breakfast placemats or tablecloth. The bathroom is large but very basic: there is no toothbrush holder, hair dryer and air freshener (the bathroom has no window). The bed linen is all white and there were some stains. On the ground floor there is another small bathroom, which however is used as a storage room... it would be convenient to be able to use it, considering that the house is on two floors. There was no information about the garbage.

    The house is on two floors and is very beautiful and characteristic, with typical Maltese brickwork, arches and very high ceilings. However, it has been completely renovated and is quite equipped, although some things were missing. The wi-fi works well and the area is quite central and parking is easy to find. The check-in instructions were quite clear via video, but I still recommend sending the exact location via whatsapp. The garbage must be thrown away according to the days and we asked the host for information on how to do it. We had a pleasant week-long stay in Gozo!

    The bed linen seemed unwashed, it was not ironed and looked like used, stale bedding. There is mold in the shower cabin and around its perimeter in the bathroom. The bunk bed creaks loudly and wobbles — it is homemade and not attached to the wall, with an unstable construction. Twice during the night, the bed tipped to the side. It is impossible and unsafe to sleep on it. There is a huge streetlamp located on the bedroom balcony that lights up the street. It cannot be turned off as it does not belong to the apartment. The blinds in the room do not fully cover the balcony doors, and the light from the streetlamp shines inside. This makes it very difficult to sleep as the light is quite bright and shines directly into the eyes. There is a persistent smell of dampness in the house.

    The biggest minus is a noise in the bedroom, it is very difficult to sleep here, you feel like you are on the street, and the cars are very noisy when driving up the hill. Additionally, the large bed was very uncomfortable and hard. Only one duvet for 3 guests. A big minus is also the fee for storing backpacks before check-in, it's the first time I've encountered a fee for such a small gesture, lack of hospitality. The apartment was quite dirty, the owner does not care about the guests' comfort, he leaves dirty sponges and cloths in the kitchen, the kitchen equipment is poor, the old utensils are unusable. Dirty floors, a technical room in the lower toilet with dirty cloths, there was a bad smell from there. There is no towel under the feet in the bathroom. It's about a 10-minute uphill walk to the center, for us it's not a problem, but for some it may be troublesome.

    Spacious living room, relatively close to the center, access to the kitchen, smart TV

    The laundry was not clean. Kids bed sheets smells of cigarettes. Luckily there was some clean sheets in the other room that we changed. The double bed mattress hard as wood. To the point that you can't sleep on your side because your hip bone will hurt . At a point in the night l had to go to sleep on the single bed that was much more comfortable.

    The house is nice

    Nice, but noisy

    As others have pointed out, the bed/mattress is hard. It is a beautiful traditional house, but it does mean some humidity in the first floor (living room/kitchen). For us, the biggest issue was the noise from the street. We are light sleepers, so the three nights we stayed there, sleeping was really complicated. It is a busy avenue, uphill. Cars, trucks and motorcycles have to slow down right before the house and then accelerate uphill.

    The place looks like the pictures. It was overall clean. The hosts seem to be taking feedback into consideration, as some issues mentioned in other reviews were solved - new towels, hooks for hanging stuff in the bathroom, a couch, good internet throughout the entire place.

    Not very cozy apartments. The bathroom lacks a foot towel, hooks, curtains and a hairdryer. In addition, the shower leaks! The door to the bathtub does not close. The mattress is very hard and impossible to sleep on. The kitchen and furniture are new, yet not very functional, it is noticeable that the apartment was made for renting, not for comfortable living. It would have been nice if they had left a bottle of water. There is no TV, although it is listed in the description. There was only one chair on the balcony and it is very dirty.

    Large, new apartments

    Newly refurbished flat in traditional Gozo house

    This is well equipped apartment in old traditional Maltese two-floors house in a historic district of Fontana of Victoria, main city of Gozo. Some 30 mín walk to the city center of Victoria. The apartment has been just rennovated and we were among the first guests, even the knives and hanger to dry cloths were still unpacked and new, which is nice of course! There is washing machine, all the pots, cutlery. Sleeping room and bad are on 2nd floor. The mattress is hard though it was fine with me. Good water pressure, hot water was there. Free air conditioning. Nice balcony facing busy street with chair. The only drawbacks are noise from street, cars passing by at night but gets calmer after midnight. Would be nice to have some small sofa in kitchen or some sort of soft chair. Shower curtain, towel hangers and bathroom carpets were missing. Overall its incredible value for money! Thank you!
