We had a lovely 6 days at the Old Mill, the hosts were kind and friendly, full of useful local knowledge. We did hire a car which afforded us some freedom, it is a little isolated, but there is a bus stop opposite and Bolt operates. My daughter and I were lucky to have the room with a large balcony over looking farm land and to the sea. We sat there at night too, listening to the silence, or fireworks or star gazing. Air conditioning was efficient and very welcome. Breakfast was what ever we wanted, fresh and lovely. The pool is small but refreshing and we only saw the other guests in passing. We hired a small boat and our host Joachim skippered it around some of Gozo, the Blue lagoon and other swimming snorkelling sights. Despite the bumpy ride the sea was incredible and what a fabulous opportunity for us to see and swim in areas that we would not have known about or perhaps been confident enough to drive to. Gozo is a community of working locals so dont expect this to be a resort with the Duke of York or Gary Liniker bar. There is a resort, Malafonsa with most of what you would expect, but smaller, 15 mins walk or 5 mins drive away. Fab restaurant at the very end on the left, just before the coast turns the corner. Victoria is a 10 min drive with supermarket, restaurants and the Citadel. Ramla beach is sandy but less rocks into the sea on the right; with cafe, icecream van, beach stuff, parking, beds, umbrellas..... GGantiga is worth an hour or so.

Do not book this property as it is falsely advertise. There is no paddle boarding, no onsite shopping, no big swimming pool as advertised, no on site bar, not close to the beach. You are staying in someone’s house we got falsely dragged into something that is not what it is, they will not give us a refund complete and utter shambles worst experience of a holiday we ever had. DO NOT BOOK!!!!

Great location, good rooms and wonderful hosts!

We stayed 11 days in a room with terrace. The couple running this B&B were wonderful hosts, very friendly and available to us whenever we needed anything. They offered us, amongst other things, towels, umbrellas and mattresses for the beach and supplied us with bottled water every day. Breakfast was always served according to our wishes with local products and at times that fitted our schedule. We recommend renting a car to get around as there are few restaurants in the closest proximity and many beaches to explore. There are lots of free parking space in the street. The Marsalforn city and beautiful limestone beach (photo) is well within reach by car or bicycle if preferred. There are also a more private beach close by. Accessed by trail. E-bikes can be rented at the B&B. We appreciated very much the good advice given by our english-speaking hosts on restaurans, where to go and what to do. They also had maps ready to supply us with guidance. No need for a tourist information accordingly. Rooms were nice and tidy and supplied with air condition and refrigerator. J & B made our vacation so good and we'd love to come back.

The owners are fantastic hosts, very friendly, they prepare a nice breakfast, they share a lot of information and tips to do on Gozo. We had a great stay. Since Gozo is rather small, most sites can be reached by car within 20-max. 30 minutes. Big plus that the room, which was nice and cozy, has an airco.

Best hostel stay in Gozo!

My girlfriend and I spent seven wonderful days here, hosted by an amazing German couple. They were incredibly helpful with everything, from giving us tips on cool hikes and restaurants to preparing delicious breakfasts every morning and they really made sure that we had everything we needed all day. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back someday! Thank you for making our trip to Gozo memorable!
