What a lovely place, the centre/town square is like 5 minutes walk.There are stores all around the area, giving you so much choices for booking things like sightseeing buses to see the north and south of Malta… or boat trips. The Malta aquarium is walking distance from the guest houses hotel. We’ve done it all! it’s been a wonderful experience and the hosts are so friendly and helpful absolutely adorable, I wish them a successful business, and prosperity.

Bed sheets were so old and thin you could see through them. Beds were also old and uncomfortable. Very unfriendly and when I requested a blanket the first night (they only had sheets on the bed) we were given 2 awful scratchy lap blankets. The next day we requested a softer blanket and was given a better one that was a double size for the 2 of us that was also well used. It felt more like a hostel type room.

location was good.. however, the picture for the triple room does not reflect the actual room.. the mattress are very uncomfortable (cheap quality that you feel the strings inside). The bathroom is very small.

Nice cheap hotel, did the job...
Globally a good cheap hotel option, placed in the middle of the city, the room and bathroom are rather small but for the price can't really complain, and it was what I was looking for... Got an A/C unit that can be used for heating, shower is fine, warm water as much as you need.... Only negative things I noted is the fact that the bed length felt a bit small (I'm 1,83m) maybe it could be an issue for taller persons... and the wall plugs are UK only which is unconvenient...unlike in other hotels... even if one plug had USB slots.

Really nice stay, friendly staff and amazing food. Carbonara is to die for and the southern fried chicken burger was amazing. Rooms basic and fridge noisy but the restaurant and food more than made up for it.

The staff was nice and friendly. I just wish they have microwave and hair- dryer especially for tourists from different countries. The staff was attentive to our complaints- esp when the patio door was broken. They came to fix it right away. The room was spacious for a big family like ours- 6 of us.

Nice little hotel with friendly staff.
I will start with the bad, beds were a bit soft, no safe that I could see, noisy fridge. On the plus, food was nice, room was nice, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Close to the main square where the restraints are located. You need to put that there is a pool on the web site.

Clean, tidy and not a bad price.
We arrived after 11pm and received a quick check-in. The room was clean and spacious. The shower room door had gaps around the edges so it was possible to see through. The toilet door didn’t shut properly in our room. The shower head was broken but upon returning after a day out we found it’s been fixed. All public areas were clean and tidy although the rooftop pool looked quite murky. The hotel is easy walking distance to the shops and the beach.

Good for a guest house, parking a bit of a problem
On the whole ok I was expecting a king size bed as advertised but it was just a normal double Asked for 2 yes 2 extra tea bags but was refused by the owner. So was rather annoyed about that, no I wouldn’t go back.

Hi firstly I would like to thank you for staying with us. On your first date ur husband asked for extra tea bags and we gave him and I explained that the policy of the guest house is we give 2 free tea bags & 2 coffee everyday . The 2nd day u just took yourself from the table without even asking, so if you were annoyed how should we feel ?? Thanks

Good budget guest house near the centre of Bugibba
Buccaneers has been refurbed to a good standard. The location is close to the main square in a rather scruffy part of the town. The 'boutique' guest house boast an 'a la carte' dining or 'gastropub' both of which are a bit pretentious but the food is generally of a good quality. The double room was a little small with no view but adequate for a budget one week holiday.

Good location
Good location - an easy walk to restaurants and the sea. (Lovely walk along the promenade.) On the bus route but tucked away in a quieter area than most of the hotels. Newly refurbished rooms and friendly, helpful staff. Room was quite basic and small but was adequate because we didn’t spend much time in it!

Well paced and refurbished
A thirty minute airport transfer, just refurbished ,family run hotel is just off the main drag so noise levels very low. Has a bar and restaurant with discount for guests. A few hundred yards in any direction will take you to the beach, restaurants, bars and bus links to the capital the airport, the catacombs or Gozo, all less than an hour away. Good sports coverage in the hotel bar. We tried all the rated restaurants and all meals were good or better. As we had our flight cancelled we spent another three days at the hotel rather than move. All staff very helpful and knowledgable

centrally located recently refurbished guest hotel
This hotel is well equipped and modern after a very recent refurbishment. The room we were allocated wasn't very big but it was very clean with a nice shower (however there was no hairdryer) and comfortable beds but they do have bigger rooms available on request. It would also be advisable to ask for a room with a view if possible as our room looked out onto a walled heating unit. We were only there for a few days and used the room to just basically sleep in so this was not a problem for us . There are rooms available with balconies and land views. The food in the restaurant was very good and value for money and we did in fact eat there on a number of occasions and were never disappointed. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. We would definitely book there again.
