The Burrow Guest House

Great spot

Malta accommodation is expensive and this room is no exception. Stone walls and floors cold on the feet , duvet too thick for comfortable sleeping, but a fridge & coffee making facilities were good. Main problem was trying to get hot water to wash or shower. Finally fixed on the day I left. No shops nearby and evening meals either meant going to another village or eating at only one or two places. I wouldn't stay here again and it's definitely not a place for a family stay, in my opinion.

The location is strategically placed between the airport and Valletta, essentially there is NO easy street parking available. I relied on the bus, routes from Valletta serving the area include No. 81, 82, 84 & 88 journey time 20-25 minutes approximately every 15-20 minutes. A 5-10 minute walk from the respective bus stop. Check-in was welcoming, I was allocated Room 4, a single double bed with ensuite bathroom, each presented to a high cleaning standard. There was NO TV but the Wifi was good. The bed was comfortable. Also for an extra €15 a contential breakfast was offered. Definitely stay again.

Wystrój rewelacyjny, ale na tym koniec...Mimo wykupionej rezerwacji online trzeba się prosić (telefonicznie) o dokonanie odbioru swojego pokoju, który był opłacony z góry. Pomimo wpisu o check in od 16-19 nie ma nikogo na miejscu. Sama rezerwacja nie wystarczy aby móc się zameldować - musisz przesyłać im foto dokumentów itd. Nie jest to żadnym standardem na Malcie. Obsługa nie miła. Następnego dnia w trakcie śniadania prawie na talerz została nam wręczona kartka do wypełnienia z danymi. Przy wyjeździe dla pani, która tam pracowała liczyło się tylko to, żeby oddać jej klucze i to jeszcze w czasie, gdy nie był czas wymeldowania (na korytarzu wychodząc ze śniadania chciała, żeby klucze zostały zwrócone). Pokój śmierdzący stęchlizną (dopiero jak otworzyliśmy okienko można było czymś oddychać), kosz w toalecie nie był opróżniony. "Śniadanie" przy stolikach, które nie były posprzątane. Ubogie (parę kromek chleba tostowego na wszystkich gości, mały serek pokrojony na 5 kawałków, 2 rodzaje wędliny w plasterkach) i niesmaczne. Ogólnie brak serdeczności i zainteresowania gośćmi.

Shower is very tight and maid forgot to bring new set of towels the following day. Complimentary bottled water would have been nice too. Otherwise, it was a very nice inn conveniently located to a bus stop. Would stay again.

Lovely staff and wonderful stay!

Quaint property, full of character. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would stay there again, and would definitely recommend

Arrived early by bicycle on the ferry. Arrived at the place early and the owner’s daughter allowed us to leave our panniers and check in later. Back later and the desk clerk checked us in and showed us where we could store our bikes. Everything seemed good. The room was comfortable and the wifi reception was good. Later that night, the clerk came back and said that due to a clerical error, we had been allocated the wrong room and asked that we relocate. Stuff happens, so we moved. The new room had no outside window and smelled badly of mildew and mould. And where was the wifi? The clerk apologized and said that they were trying to rectify the problem, but that would not happen until after we leave. Even the regular service was sporadic — at best. I have several clients that I need to be in contact with. Then, the next day, the Clerk said that the owner told him that the bikes needed to be moved out to the front of the hotel and chained to a fence. Really? His daughter saw the bikes. No comment from her. And, no direct communication from the owner! No apologies or rationale. Just rants at the clerk. My recommendation — look elsewhere.

The front door arrangement was paranoid and inconvenient in the extreme but the guesthouse once you managed to get in, was darling.

Pros: closed by bus station and airport. Cons: no tv, no 24/7 receptionist We got there earlier so we just leave our luggage and came back at 4pm to check in. I noticed their is no soap, so we went out to buy one, I send the review to Expedia about not having soap the next day they provided soap and hair dryer which we appreciate. Please be reminded that this property is a guesthouse no 24/7 receptionist, if you will be arriving late night or early in the morning make sure you have a clear communication to the management and you fully understand the instructions that will be provided to you. I booked a courtyard room with a king bed but I was given something else which is fine with us. We didn’t had a chance to have their breakfast because we woke up late, I don’t have any idea what kind of breakfast their serving. Over all our stay is satisfactory.

The property was spotless , and very quiet . The rooms were beautiful .

HATED no staff at check in time to get in. My phone was acting up and I had to first get my cab driver to call the number posted by the door and step inside. Then I stepped inside (super cute) and hoped I could find a code for their WiFi because we were still not given the key (wanted a photo of our passport first)…. We searched for 10 minutes to find internet password and I finally had to knock on another guest’s door to request it from her. This is a very BAD way to start a trip with an otherwise nice property! Both the WiFi, and the request for passport photos SHOULD have been given at least 24 hours before arrival (we are SuperHosts with 4 rental properties ourselves). Also the place is VERY dark at night and it was challenging to navigate the many stairs at night….we had to walk 4 flights of stairs (to reach the room at the top which WAS very nice!!!) but needed lights too

The most gorgeous little place I ever did see!

Very nice

Gorgeous boutique hotel. Staff were amazing - accommodated my very late arrival. Highly recommend.

Very nice and charming place with traditional Maltese character. The only concern was that our antique bed developed a problem but I’m sure it was a bit of unlucky for us and owner will fix it for the next guests! Great job with restoration! Highly recommend!

This was a total disaster for us and the guest house. We did not go due to illness. I informed hotels.com, they did not pass on the message, I contacted the place via a website which had their contact details etc on it. But the guest house still had not read it and expected us to turn up so email info how to get it. Very unlikely to use hotels.com to book this type of stay ever again.

Very unique guest house with stone walls, large windows and atrium areas. The house is located in a residential area within walking distance of the Tarxien Temples, a very historic district. A little difficult to find but with the help of local resident, I eventually found the place. It’s located close to the airport so it is convenient place to stay for an early morning flight.

This is a boutique family run bed and breakfast that has an old world charm. The rooms have air conditioning and wifi access. There is a tub and shower. There is no television. A bountiful breakfast is served and a packed breakfast is available for early check out. The facility has limited staff hours. If checking in after 7 PM, there is a surcharge, but a key drop is available; however bring a flashlight to see the key pad as there is no external lighting in that area. The guesthouse can be reached easily by bus from the airport with about 800 meters walk from the bus stop. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Old city area easy to reach by public transportation.

This was a very unusual property with stone walls , modern bathrooms, lovely pictures & antique furniture. Bed was comfy . One light bulb not working & hairdryer plug broken.
