    We are more than happy with the accommodation we had at Duncan Guesthouse. Micheal is an excellent host. The rooms are clean, spacious, sunny and really good value for money. Marsaxlokk is a beautiful fishing port with excellent bus connections to get around Malta, yet very close to the airport. Highly recommended!

    Couldn’t find fault with anything Very well run

    It started with the welcome we received from Michael. Duncan guest house was spotlessly clean everywhere and our room spacious and very comfortable. The terrace off the breakfast room was a delight, somewhere to view picturesque Marsaxlokk and relax in the sun. Breakfast offered a variety of foods to please every taste in a friendly atmosphere, all due to Michael. Thankyou

    Perfect accomodation, wonderful service, really good breakfasts, beautiful view from terrace like from Malta advertisement. Michael was really helpful and kind. No problem with late self check-in. Michael even gave us sandwitches instead of last breakfast, as we had early flight back. We were really satisfied, felt like at home and can really recommend.

    Nothing.

    Everything was good, all the staff were friendly and helpful, the building and my room were spotless and looked recently decorated, the location was good too, on the village square and by the harbour and within easy walking distance of the cafés and restaurants along the harbour front. The bus stop for the airport bus is very close too, the breakfast room was on the second floor and from the roof terrace you had good views over the village.

    It is not a fancy, designer boutique hotel. It is rather basic and modest. It doesn’t need to be a disadvantage, as it suits perfectly the vibe of the peaceful, unpretentious fishing village of Marsaxlokk.

    The best possible location in Marsaxlokk. Balconies and a sun terrace with a view over the harbour are definite assets. Generous breakfast with both buffet and eggs-as-you-like-it options is another reason to choose this place. Last but not least, Michael, the owner, is what gives this guesthouse a 10/10 rate. Friendly, helpful, happy to recommend restaurants or excursions - and he personally takes care of the guests at breakfast.

    Open shower is not that great because of water pooling, but it is like that in most hotels on Malta. Beds were short and not that wide. This is the biggest downside in the whole experience. Breakfast options are a bit limited.

    We went in Feb and Michael has given us all the directions 2 days beforehand which was helpful. We stayed in a spacious clean room, 2 beds, nothing to complain about, has all the things as advertised on Booking.com The parking is public parking on the street, so if you are going during high season it may be hard to find spots, we lucked out and got a space very close to the hotel. Breakfast was great, we did not feel like there was not enough food and we even had staff prepare us fried eggs and bacon. Location is great, right next to all Marxalokk attractions. Highly recommend.

    Michael is an excellent host who gave us a warm welcome. The guesthouse is conveniently located in the heart of Marsaxlokk and is easily accessible by bus. Michael gave us advise when we checked in and when we checked out. His advise to take bus really helped us, as it was a Sunday and bus do not come to town center. The room was well-maintained, clean, and had comfortable beds. Breakfast was enjoyable, with Michael personally preparing fried eggs and bacon for us. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to try the boat rides. I highly recommend Duncan Guesthouse for a relaxing stay!

    Not a complaint so much as a suggestion: although there was plenty of choice at breakfast, with a cold buffet as well as the offer of a cooked breakfast, it would have been nice also to have the option to choose more authentic Maltese food, such as fresh bread and local jams, honey, cheese etc.

    This was our first time in Malta, and we had a fantastic stay. Duncan Guest House has a great location on the square in Marsaxlokk, right beside the colourful fishing harbour, market and restaurants. Our host could not have been more welcoming, and we really felt at home. The room was spacious and simply but comfortably equipped.

    Perhaps more staff is needed? Breakfast quickly ran out of popular items, but he tried his best to keep up.

    The owner/manager Michael was fantastic. Rooms were clean and we didnt hear much noise despite the place being booked out. Check in and Check out was very smooth. Overall a pleasant place to stay in a central location, albeit a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
