MJ Farmhouse B&B

Monica was the perfect hostess. She went out of way to make us a picnic breakfast one morning before breakfast was served. The room was cool and clean and the pool a welcome break after a hot day sightseeing. Thank you Monica

Monica was an exceptional host from the moment she welcomed us at the door until the day we left. She took care of us as if we were part of her family and made us feel at home throughout our stay. Every morning, she prepared a wonderful breakfast, including freshly made pancakes, homemade sweet and savoury pastries, local cheese, and excellent Italian coffee. It was always delicious and more than enough to start the day. The accommodation itself is authentic, showcasing traditional Gozo architecture. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring the island. The location is also excellent – just a short walk from the centre of Xaghra, where Monica recommended some of her favourite cafés, restaurants, and bars. It is also conveniently close to a bus stop and to Ramla Bay, the famous red-sand beach and one of the most beautiful spots on Gozo. We highly recommend staying here and would gladly return.

Traveling with a 1 year old is not always easy (although it is worth it). Monica was very understanding went out of her way to help us settle in and accommodate our need to baby proof rooms and keep bub out of trouble. The house is beautiful, breakfast was always delicious and the host is an angel. Parking was simple and the location was an easy drive to all the sites we wanted to see. Couldn’t recommend the place more.

The property was beautiful, clean, and tidy. It was spacious and offered a great sense of privacy.

I would like to bring to your attention several issues we encountered during our recent stay at [MJ Farmhouse B&B], booked through your platform. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the description or expectations presented on Booking.com. 1. Pool Access: The listing stated that the pool was open at all times throughout the year, which was one of the main reasons we chose this property. However, upon arrival, we were told that pool use was not allowed during the evening or night. We paid €280 for one night (4 adults and 3 children) but were not permitted to use the pool as advertised. When we requested clarification, the owner, Ms. Monica, cited safety reasons and only allowed pool access in the morning—right before our 10 AM checkout. 2. Kitchen Usage: We were informed that cooking was not allowed as per the property’s policy. However, this restriction was not mentioned on the Booking.com listing. This caused inconvenience during our stay. 3. Power Outage: Around 11 PM, the electricity went off, causing panic among the children. When we contacted Ms. Monica, she seemed upset for being disturbed late at night and initially blamed us for interfering with the electrical system. Later, she concluded that the power failure occurred because the lights had been left on in all three rooms we booked. This was unexpected and made us feel uncomfortable. 4. Breakfast and Privacy: Although breakfast was included in our booking, Ms. Monica arrived at the property around 6 AM to prepare it and stayed until we left. This affected our privacy and made the morning feel rushed.
