Discover the Unique Charm of Staying in a Bed & Breakfast in Gozo: A Guide to Why it Beats a Hotel Experience

When it comes to choosing accommodation for your next holiday in Gozo, Malta, you may be wondering whether to stay in a hotel or a bed and breakfast (B&B). Whilst both have their own pros and cons, there are several reasons why staying in a B&B can be a more appealing option in Gozo. We’re obviously biased, but these points really do hold some value!

A more personalised experience

One of the biggest draws of B&Bs in Gozo, Malta, is the personalised experience they offer. Unlike large chain hotels, most B&Bs in Gozo are owned and operated by individuals, which means that you can expect a more personalised touch during your stay. From the moment you arrive in Gozo, you’ll be greeted by your host, who will be happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions you have about the area.

A more intimate atmosphere

B&Bs in Gozo, Malta, are often smaller and less formal than hotels, which can make for a more intimate and cosy atmosphere. You’ll often find common areas, such as living rooms or gardens, where guests can gather and socialise in Gozo. This can be a great way to meet other travellers and make new friends.

Delicious homemade breakfast

Breakfast is often considered the most important meal of the day, and it’s also one of the highlights of staying in a B&B here in Gozo. Many B&Bs in Gozo, just like ours, include a homemade breakfast in the price of your stay, which is prepared fresh each day and often features locally-sourced ingredients from the Island of Gozo. Not only is it a delicious way to start your day here, but it’s also a great opportunity to chat with your host and other guests.

Great value for money

Another benefit of choosing a B&B in Gozo, Malta over a hotel is the value for money. B&Bs in Gozo tend to be more affordable than hotels, and many include amenities such as a homemade breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Additionally, many B&Bs here offer specials and deals throughout the year, making them an even more appealing option, for example, we offer up to 20% off when you book direct.

Local knowledge

One of the best things about staying in a B&B in Gozo, Malta, is the local knowledge you’ll gain from your host. We can provide you with recommendations for things to do and see in Gozo, as well as insider tips on the best restaurants and bars. This can be especially valuable if you’re visiting new places, such as our village or even the Island of Gozo, for the first time and want to make the most of your time there.

Unique and distinctive setting

B&Bs here in Gozo are often located in unique and distinctive places, such as old houses or converted buildings, giving guests a sense of being in a home away from home in Gozo. This can be a great way to immerse yourself in Gozo’s local culture and get a sense of the history of the area.

A higher level of service

Since B&Bs in Gozo are smaller and less crowded, you’ll generally receive a higher level of service than in a hotel in Gozo or even on the mainland, Malta. Hosts are on hand to answer any questions and ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Furthermore, your hosts, like ourselves, may even go the extra mile to provide extra services or activities such as guided tours in Gozo, transportation or make reservations for you.

Homely atmosphere

B&Bs in Gozo, Malta are often decorated and furnished to create a homely and comfortable atmosphere, making you feel more at ease and relaxed – a home away from home. This can make it easier to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing or travel around the island.

Great for special occasions

Many B&Bs offer special packages or add-ons, such as in-room massages or champagne upon arrival, to make your stay in Gozo even more special.

Supporting local businesses

When you stay in a B&B here on the Island of Gozo, you’re supporting a small, local business, which is something that can give you a sense of satisfaction. By staying in our B&B, for example, you’ll be putting money directly into the local economy and supporting the community.
