Review 7：Nothing to complain about

Review 8：If you're looking for a place to literally just sleep and just have a good breakfast it's a great place to stay. Great location, super clean, great people.

Review 9：privacy in backyard, dividing wall is too low. squeking door room needs AC mini fridge is like a heater,needs the cabinet door to be left opened in order to cool things inside.

Review 10：Staff very friendly will answer very quickly to complains

Review 11：Excellent service, Joseph will break his back to get you whatever you want. Free umbrellas to take to the beach, free beach towels (washed daily), free snorkel gear. Excellent breakfast with lots of fresh fruit. Right around the boulevard and beach. Simply fantastic.

Review 12：There is no escalator and going up and down is a bit laborious. Towels clean but marked by wear and tear - better to be replaced.

Review 13：The room was super cool with an AC and a fan, it was clean and had a balcony.

Review 14：The guest house was a very short walk from the amenities and parking was no problem,the proprietor was very accommodating of our requirements and engaging.

Review 15：The mattresses were not comfortable at all, the water in the sink didnt really go down quickly and no shower products.Also keep in mind that he accepts only cash, which apparently is mentioned, but to be honest, who reads that, as is it too normal to pay with card nowadays.

Review 16：Very friendly host and clean room.

Review 17：room gets very hot and stuffy. Might as well not have TV as no English channels and most channels don't work.

Review 18：Located right next to the bus stop, bay, supermarket, and lovely friendly owner. Perfect for scuba diving holiday.

Review 19：Cleanest guest house I've ever stayed in. Very very near to everything you could need, harbour, restaurants, bus stops, supermarkets. Lovely owners, an overall gem of a place, traditional

Review 20：i had a spot in one of their satellite apartments without wifi. It was nice and clean and had TV that got Sicilian channels. It would have been nice to have a way to make tea/coffee. Fridge was nice...

Review 21：helpful and friendly staff

Review 22：The only window in the room led to the room and it was not even closed by a glass, so anybody in the room could smell and hear what was going on in the bathroom. Sooo uncomfortable. I would not go back!

Review 23：Location was good

Review 24：Mr. Joseph (the owner) is a very friendly and helpful person. This location is very good since it's close from the grocery's and main bus station of Malsarforn, which connects the little town withVictoria (capital city of Gozo with main bus terminal). The place is very quiet, highly recommended for people who want to have a relaxing time.

Review 25：Sadly - the building on the order side of the road is in the middle of being reconstructed/build(?) and it's pretty noisy during the day [I was there in April 2015]. Didn't bother me cause I mostly stayed outside.

Review 26：The Guest House is very close to the centre of Marsalforn. There is a supermarket about 3 min away. And the bus stop is almost in front of entrance :) My room was pretty big, and very comfortable and with private shower and WC. There was also a TV and a small fridge. The owner was very nice and helpful and also cooked the breakfast (by guest preferences) by himself (the breakfast was English-style).I definitely recommend this place!

Review 27：very noisy - the location would be pretty good, but the building construction opposite to the hotel made the sleeping impossible from 6:30-7 am! a bit arrogant owner the airconditioning not involved in the price

Review 28：clean, nice room

Review 29：The wifi was terrible, the room was above the main road so it was very noisy, the walls are thin, there was a woman singing in her room late at night.

Review 30：Joseph and his family were very welcoming. The hotel was beautiful, I loved the antique furniture. Breakfast was lovely with fresh-cooked eggs and bacon.

Review 31：Take warm clothes in April. It was very cold, windy and there is no heating system except AC's.

Review 32：The hotel is a family run and everyone in the family is very friendly and helpful. The Restaurant downstairs offers good lunch/ dinner for a very reasonable price. It is right in the middle of Marlsafon, which makes it a convenient place to stay.

Review 33：Very helpful and empathic, joseph was so kind that he even prepared me a nice filling english breakfast and cereal at 5am since I needed to leave early morning

Review 34：Small adjustments to bathroom/shower (e.g. shower curtain and clothes hangers). Otherwise value for money

Review 35：Cleanliness freindly staff Sumptuous breakfast

Review 36：Location was close to the local shops (three suopermarkets just up the road) and the sea front a 2 minute walk away. The WiFi signal was excellent and I always had a connection whilst I was at the guest house. The owner Joseph is very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was good and I was offered a choice of all sorts of breakfast items from continental style choices to traditional English cooked bacon and eggs. The room was clean and comfortable.

Review 37：Shower tray and shower room very very small small, no ventilation in shower, no lift, bed on the small size, not very comfortable

Review 38：The staff attention, kitchen ok well equipped, price wise ok,

Review 39：Great service, both Joseph and Danielo were very friendly and ready to help. Very clean room, nicely decorated with a modern bathroom. Nicely located in the centre of Marsalforn, right next to a bus stop and within five minutes walk of restaurants and bars. Wifi worked well.

Review 40：Stay at the Lantern Guest House was only one big disappointment. First, we were given, I guess, the worst room possible. Second, there was no WiFi connection or TV promised in the offer. Third, the room was awfully dirty which made me sick to even touch anything in the room. The dishes in the kitchen was covered with mold, the bed smelled and the shower was simply a ruin - the doors were falling out each time I tried to close them. We stayed there 2 nights, paid in cash 100€ and after sharing with the owner our opinion, he cancelled the reservation at booking.com so that we have no chance of giving the review! Booking.com, thank you for your help with dealing this unpleasant situation.

Review 41：Nothing really

Review 42：There is nothing to dislike

Review 43：Joseph and his wife are a lovely couple, they are very friendly and helpful.We stayed in the studio apartment for 17 nights, it was like home from home, well equipped kitchen for everything you need for a self catering holiday. It suited our needs perfectly. The whole apartment is clean and comfortable with lots of cupboard space. There is three supermarket's three minute's walk away and bus stop only 2 minutes so an ideal place to stay to enable to explore Gozo.

Review 44：We came over from San pawls Bay with our friends from England. We liked the Lantern Guesthouse very much.Very friendly familie run . Will recommend it to others and stay here again.

Review 45：No pool although sea was near No a/c but was comfy with fans Small wardrobe No fridge inside room

Review 46：Friendly staff Great location Breakfasts were good

Review 47：we were situated on the 4th floor without a lift.Actually it was a room on the roof. Water pressure of the shower was not very good. one of the light bulbs was broken. only soap was available no shampoo or shower gel.

Review 48：Location Room was spacious

Review 49：No shower gel in room, could catch you out if not aware. Airconditioning is extra at €5 per day,. This was really required during our stay, although a very good fan is provided foc.

Review 50：This guest house is well situated. Free wi fi and a good choice for breakfast. Including a cooked breakfast. The room was comfortable and it includes a fridge at no extra charge.

Review 51：Aircon is extra. Its only 5 euro and we had no problem paying it but list it in the booking. The bed in no 6 is extremely loud with the springs, when u move at all it makes a lot of noise. In saying that we were offered two rooms on arrival and we chose no 6. We were offered the other room as i am very tall but we chose no 6. Other than that it was excellent and i highly recommend!

Review 52：This is an amazing family run accommodation. Read all of the positive reviews! they went out of their way to help us. Rooms are clean and very nice. Staff are so friendly. They offer a good breakfast in the morning. So close to a wonderful sea area. Highly recommend! I booked for single traveller by accident and Joseph changed the booking without any issues. Great guy!

Review 53：There was nothing that I could fault the Guest House on.Only I was unable to get any English speaking TV.Not really a problem.

Review 54：The excellent service and extremely helpful staff.The Guest House was very well organised and the breakfast offered was unbelievably good.
