I enjoyed my stay. My room overlooked the sea and the gardens. George gave me a lift to the ferry and was very helpful. Breakfast was a bonus and a good start to the day. I would recommend staying here. while out of town , the bus stops just down the road and it is most conveninet.

I booked for 3 nights and stayed on for 7 nights!! Winter and so it was very quiet-- the outdoor terrace/balcony has one of the best views of any hotel/ B/B on Gozo!

I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you had nowhere else to go. The beds were so uncomfortable that no one in our four person company slept well, some of us getting almost no sleep. There was no hot water on the first night and the shower water came out brown. You can't lock the doors from the outside and there is no lockable storage in the rooms. The whole place is run down and really creepy. The breakfast is a bonus but consisted of just jam on toast. I believe you may be able to stay at a hotel for a similar price. If you do decide to stay here, and want to book a private room (e.g. single, double, twin) don't count on getting it. We booked a double and two singles to find out that there are no double beds in the hostel. They placed us in three separate rooms but we got the impression that if the place wasn't empty except for us then we would have been sharing with other people.

Our room was enough to fit three people in. Our beds were quite old and didn´t have the newest matrazes on it but we moved two beds together= our king size bed. After exploring the island by foot and buses we still slept like on cloud seven. Bathroom was ok and we got more hot runing water then in an accomodation directly on Malta (Valetta). The good things: - the kitchen where you can find everything that you need to cook yourself a delicious meal the best thing was the staff that was working there. Very helpful, real nice and kind people with good hints and tips what you can do on the island gozo and where you can get fresh fish ( bugeja fish market 15 min. walk from the hostel- they have everything, so good so cheap) and everything else. Our holidays were the best on gozo (we stayed for 9 nights for only 225 euros for two persons including breakfast). we will definitely come again, we had a perfect holiday on gozo!!
