This was honestly the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Filled with Old World charm. It’s a true bed & breakfast in a family estate of multiple generations led by a matriarch who runs the show. You sit and have breakfast with several of them when they’re visiting, it’s remarkable - the bubbly grandson, his brilliant mother who is a local tour guide, and the elderly parents. The gardener/pool guy and maid also display have deep affection for the family and the home. There are orange, lemon, and olive trees. The olive oil is from the trees you see from the mansion windows. The pool is cleaned constantly and also charming.

The room itself was perfect. I had a desk, which was really helpful as I had to work throughout my stay, the bed was comfortable, and the AC got so cold even in the heat wave that I had to turn it off! The bathroom was clean and had everything I needed. Parking was no issue.

I am surprised this place isn’t on AirBnB. It would win awards. It’s perfect for people who want a personalized experience over a stuffy concierged stay. It’s not a traditional hotel. It’s a gorgeous mansion of which you rent a room. There is total privacy (each room has its own keys of course) and the upstairs floor that hosts the guests is in a separate portion of the house from where the owners stay downstairs.

The bad reviews seem geopolitical (UK colonized Malta) and irrelevant to your stay. This is a magical, dreamy, stunning place to stay with the kindest, funniest family.

It is a beautiful country estate. Prettier than parks in Malta with a lovely patio area and pristine pool. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Staying there was a delight. I highly recommend it.

I received a message from the property owner that check-in was only available between 4 PM and 7 PM. Unfortunately, this posed a challenge for me, as I had a business dinner scheduled for 7:30 PM. Additionally, the property’s listing mentioned a complimentary shuttle service available 24/7, which I later found was not the case. As a result, I had to arrange for an Uber at my own expense.

Overall, this experience was quite disappointing, and I believe it could be improved for future guests. Thank you for considering this feedback.

Beautiful old farm house. One bathroom to share for the guests, so we tried to be mindful of the time we spent in the bathroom. We weren’t able to use the pool because we got in late and left early. Breakfast was nice, fruit, coffee, toast, meat/cheese. Overall, very nice experience!

Respite from the heatwave

In the midst of festa season and a ridiculously hotter Summer, we found solace at Ta Bertu. The pool was the drawcard. The distance away from all the morning noise of the city was restful. I was hoping we would have the outdoor bungalow as we were on honeymoon and wanted to be able to swim late into the night. Accommodation, charming, friendly and always treat us like family. We've been there twice now and will be back next year also. Thank you Violet and Albert and the grandchildren who played in the pool with us. We had a great stay xx

The landlady one day was complaining of our water usage..She was sceaming at my wife and I.We became paranoid using the bathroom.We cut down on its usage.The problem is the toilet bowl not flushing properly.Besides we didn't know our water usage was being monitored.We felt there was a discrimination involved.There was also a questionable city tax,i thought it was all included even it iwas not much.It made us very uncomfortable.

Ta' Bertu review

Family run B&B in home with garden and pool. Lovely family atmosphere, home cooked evening meal with family, wines from own vineyard. Continental breakfast with plenty of variety and a chance to chat to other guests. Very close to main bus route to airport and Valletta. Not ideal for persons with mobility problems due to stairs, and bathrooms not having walk-in showers, otherwise great value and very helpful proprietors.

If you want to stay off the beaten path with a great family this is the place. You will be eating at their kitchen table and truly see the culture. Great owners and fabulous place to stay. Awesome pool on site with homemade wine and olives to enjoy. Highly recommend staying this them. This place was so remote they personally had to come pick us up from the airport because our flight got in too late for the public bus, but again very helpful family.

Charming and welcoming B&B

Ta' Bertu is a charming family run B&B and you'll be given a warm welcome by your hosts. I stayed in a separate secluded building on the farm which was simple and pleasant. There's no TV in the room although that didn't bother me and the weather was perfect despite the poor weather forecast. All in all a lovely stay on the friendly island of Malta.

Lovely hosts with a lovely family.

Although the house is not in the most picturesque location, it is a really handy base for exploring the island by car.

The house itself is really homely and they have some lovely antiques. Our room was basic, but had a great air con system for which we were very grateful! Bathroom could do with a freshen up. Lovely pool and garden with a whirly gig which guests can use for swimwear and towels.

Highlights were Violet's homemade jams and meeting the hosts and their lovely grandchildren!

They also allowed us to stay by the pool a little while after checkout which was great.

Friendly welcome

Very warm welcome from Albert & Violet. They try to make you feel a part of the family. Stayed 10 days but almost moved out after three due to the loud music on the first weekend emanating from wedding do's 300 yards away - music went on until 2 am. This was not repeated so stayed for the duration.
Our accommodation was not in the main house but in a small. dark, cool en suite annex. Our shady patio was very pleasant, but we were not confined to using this space only. Location for visiting the south and central parts of the island was excellent.

This beautiful property offers a lovely villa-like atmosphere, featuring a swimming pool and an exquisite garden with a magical, Disney-like feel. The host, Violet, is exceptionally kind and caring. The property is set in beautiful surroundings, and no factories are visible from either inside or outside. However, potential guests should note that it is technically located within an industrial area, so there are no tourist amenities or activities nearby. Since major points of interest like Valletta and Sliema are more than 10km away, relying on inexpensive rideshare services like Bolt or Uber is necessary unless you have a vehicle. Onsite parking is available, making it seamless if you choose to rent a car. Aside from the lack of nearby tourist activities, it was a thoroughly satisfying stay.

Kyseessä on perhehotelli tai oikeammin B&B, joka pitää hyvää huolta tilojen kunnosta ja siisteydestä. Tämä on loistava valinta, jos joku etsii rauhallista paikkaa, jossa voi levätä ja olla omissa oloissaan. Huoneiden määrä on paikassa ehkä noin 6, joten on kyse pienestä paikasta. En ole nukkunut vuosiin niin hyvin kuin tässä paikassa. Huoneessa oli iso sänky, kaappi ja divaani, mutta ei esim. televisiota eikä minibaaria. Yhteinen kylpyhuone on käytävällä. Se on siisti ja oli aina vapaa, kun tarvitsin sitä. Ota huomioon, että Maltalla on erilainen sähköpistoke kuin Suomessa. Sovittimen saa kuitenkin hotellilta. Hotelli on lähellä lentoasemaa vain kahden bussipysäkin (nro 119, pysäkki Paci) kanssa, mutta lentomelu ei tunnu eikä kuulu. Paikka ei ole minkään taajaman keskustassa, vaan vähän ikään kuin maaseudulla villikaktuksien ympäröimä. Sinne pääsee bussilla, taksilla, Boltilla ja maltalaisella E-cabs-taksilla. Lähin merenranta on parin kilometrin päässä Pretty Bay'ssä. Siellä on ravintolapalvelujakin. Perhe, joka pitää hotellia, on mukava, ja sosiaalinen. Erakoille tämä paikka ei ole sopiva, sillä perhe juttelee ja kyselee kuulumisia, joka voi häiritä tuppisuita. Se on kuitenkin maan tapa. Suosittelen paikkaa lämpimästi kun ottaa huomioon paikan ominaisuudet.

Maison d'hôtes proche de l'aéroport

Maison d'hôtes agréable au calme avec piscine et transats pour se reposer. Hote très gentille, se soucie de notre bien-être et ouverte à la discussion (nous aurions aimé mieux parler anglais pour échanger plus facilement).
L'entrée se fait par la cuisine des hôtes pour accéder aux chambres. Frigo dehors disponible et places de parking devant l'hébergement.
Nous avions la chambre avec une petite sdb privée. Il manquerait juste quelques crochets pour accrocher les serviettes mais c'est un détail. Climatisation gratuite dans la chambre bien agréable.
L'établissement se trouve derrière un camp militaire et un centre d'hébergement pour migrants mais nous n'avons pas été dérangé.
Proximité pratique avec l'aéroport à 5 mn sans être trop dérangé par le bruit.
Il faut impérativement une voiture pour sortir manger car rien aux alentours à pied.

Super séjour

La propriétaire et son mari sont plus qu'adorable, le petit-déjeuner et super elle vous propose même des choses en plus si elle est en train de cuisine ( ex: melon, salade de fruits qui n était pas prévu à la base sur la table du déjeuner).
La piscine et l'extérieur de la maison est superbe en plus l'habitation est au calme c'est très agréable. Je recommande vivement car je n'ai jamais eu des propriétaire aussi avenant elle vous explique tout les bons coins à aller voir et à quel moment. Et le soir vous pouvez aussi rester tranquille à la propriété pour manger elle vous propose même du vin quand ils font l'apéro alors que cela n'est pas prévu à la base.
Enfin voilà j ai passé un excellent séjour et je recommande vivement cette location.

Pension de famille super sympa ; un petit bémol quant à l’Accès qui est un peu difficile à trouver car pas bien indiqué.
Au niveau de la route d’accès il y a des migrants un peu partout car leur camp d’algécos est situé juste en face. Pas forcément accueillant même si il n’y a pas d’agressivité.

Wer eine ruhige und familiäre Unterkunft sucht, ist hier am richtigen Ort. Sehr nette, hilfsbereite und grosszügige Gastgeber! Keine Hotel- sondern eher Gastfamilie-Atmosphäre. Mein Zimmer war einfach, aber gemütlich eingerichtet, das ich mittels AC etwas aufheizen konnte. Im Winter lohnt es sich, einen dicken Pullover dabei zu haben, da die Häuser eher kühl sind. Das B&B ist ländlich gelegen, jedoch gut mit dem ÖV erreichbar - von der Busstation sind es etwa 4 min zu Fuss. Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt!

ok mais......

Conforme a mon attente sauf sur la salle de bain qui était commune alors que dans l'annonce elle était privée. J'ai fait la réservation de 2 chambres pour cet hôtel et a notre arrivée une seule était réservée. Comme il n'y avait plus de place la propriétaire a emmené mon amie dans un autre établissement (voiture + distance). La propriétaire nous a dit que c'était de la faute d'expédia (nous ne le saurons jamais). Mon amie a payé le même prix pour une prestation sans piscine et sans petit déjeuner (on lui demandait 8€ pour le petit dej alors qu'elle avait déjà payé à la réservation), je ne trouve pas cela normal. Sans compter que c'était notre dernière soirée sur Malte et qu'on aurait bien voulut la passer ensemble.

We are Very Happy to chose Ta Bertu for 4 nights on Malta. The owners were Very kind and make Sure we do not miss anything. The house is kept in the tradicional style and definatelly has the soul we have looked for. Moreover the house is surrended by a garden with grapes, oranges and olives trees which makes You Feel even more in paradise and close to the nature.
We took the mornings easy by the pool with our 5 year old boy before we started to explore the island. We were Happy that the house was on the country side otherwise it would not be as calm and piecefull as it was.

Calme et accueil chaleureux à Malte

Malte est une très jolie île, du littoral aux monuments et bâtiments qui la rendent si riche historiquement. Mais dépêchez vous d’y aller car les promoteurs et entreprises commencent à tout saccager!
Ta Bertu reste un havre de paix, dans la nature. La piscine est bien agréable après une journée passée sous le soleil. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, ils peuvent préparer un dîner typique et sont toute la journée à notre disposition. Je conseille cette chambre d’hote très bien placée pour récupérer les bus.
Le seul inconvénient est qu’elle est un peu isolée, sans boutique ni resto à proximité. Mais quand on a fait ses courses on peut manger sous la tonnelle, très agréable.

Inadmissible !

Notre fils de 12 ans à dormi sur un matelas par terre car les informations données par Expédia aux propriétaires étaient que nous venions avec un bébé. Après vérification notre réservation était bien pour deux adultes et un enfant de douze ans ! Mais le pire était à venir... Nous avions choisi cet endroit pour la piscine. Le premier jour elle était occupée par une trentaine d'enfants venus pour une fête d'anniversaire. Nous nous en sommes accommodés et nous avons pu nous baigner vers 19 heures. Mais le lendemain après une matinée de visites bien remplie et sous 40° C, nous pensions nous rafraîchir dans la piscine... Et bien non, elle avait été louée pour un autre anniversaire. Il y avait pas moins de 25 personnes avec cris et musique jusqu'à 20 heures. C'est dommage, belle maison, propriétaires plutôt sympathiques mais il faut choisir entre B and B et piscine municipale. Nous n'y retournerons jamais.

Hôtel proche aéroport, mais très cher / prestation

Très bon accueil, mais chambre réservée et annoncée pour 3 avec seulement un lit double et la possibilité de mettre un matelas par terre, mais la chambre était tellement petite que le matelas était surtout dans la salle de bain qui elle est assez spacieuse au regard de la chambre.
Lit confortable.
Difficile à trouver : une petite rue après une base militaire.
Aucun restau à proximité pour dîner.
Départ de très bonne heure pour prendre un avion. Pour le petit déjeuner à emporter on a eu le droit à 3 morceaux de gâteau industriel, 3 clémentines et 2 pommes dont une pourrie.
Tout ça pour plus de 100€ !!!
Très proche de l'aéroport (moins de 10 minutes), mais les avions ne circule pas la nuit donc peut gênant.
