The bungalows were wonderful incl. an excellent view. The staff was very nice and helpful.
Sometimes we had unfortunately ants inside.
The hotel is approx 15 minutes walk from the city center and 5 minutes to the next bus stop.

A pretty place with friendly staff. Lovely spacious bungalow with powerful AC throughout and spotlessly clean. Would stay again. Only let down by uncomfortable living room furniture that had definitely seen better days and broken chairs on our terrace. More sunshades around the private pool would have been welcome and I feel that the bungalow should have had coffee and tea supplies - unfortunately we had not expected it to be completely self-catering as we thought we would be in main hotel.

Beautiful and authentic setting, great pool facilities and perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved our stay in Gozo, I regret not staying here for longer because we didn't manage to see everything we wanted to. Free parking if you have a car which I recommend to see more of the area. The staff here were very friendly and accommodating too. Thank you for having us ❤️

Amazing thank you!

Lovely hotel with outstanding views from the balcony. Very relaxed vibe. Food (Breakfast,dinner and room service) was amazing and plentiful. Rooms basic but clean and have all you need for a stay on a beautiful island. Customer service was great and they aim to make your stay a good one. Nice pool areas and surrounding area felt very safe. Bus service around 8 mins walk away near Xerri and takes you straight into the centre of Gozo (Victoria). Download the Talinja app for bus timetables and directions. Cabs used (e cabs and bolt) were also friendly and punctual and not expensive.

A really lovely hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, great food (massive portions!), very comfortable bed and a large room. The hotel is located a short walk to local restaurants and the pretty village square. Also a short drive to Victoria. If you like walking, it's about 4km to Ramla Bay

Love this place highly recommend

Amazing suite with well furnished balcony overlooking the island, huge bathroom with large shower and a double jacuzzi bath. Loads of good quality toiletries. Restaurant spacious but chairs a bit uncomfortable. Food great. We had half board, nice dinner choices available, extensive wine list. Loads of choice for self serve breakfast. Outside areas lovely to stroll around, bar well stocked with comfy seating. Staff...could not fault them, everyone was friendly, helpful and professional. Transport - bus stop 10 minutes uphill by foot. Husband and I want to go back again, would recommend for everyone young, mature, couple or family.

Comfortable & spacious room with a stunning view of the landscape and sea including a large balcony.
Well maintained outdoor areas with pool & gardens.
We stayed a night in late May & would have enjoyed a few more days to relax around the pool.A 15 minute walk to the village square with bars and restaurants.& the ancient Ggantija Temple site (the reason why we chose Xagra for our overnight).
Interesting old relics displayed in the several lounge areas from excavation of original farm land at the site. We enjoyed a good dinner and breakfast.
Travel light if you are using the bus from the ferry port. We got a taxi to the hotel and a bus back. Plenty of hire cars available for longer stays.

Lovely hotel in Gozo

We had a lovely stay at the hotel the staff were incredible and looked after us theoughout our stay!

The hotel is beautiful! Great pool area and set in a lovely part of Gozo with amazing views of the island.

You can easily walk to the village of Xaghra where there are plenty of bars and restaurants or it’s a short trip to marsalforn or xlendi for the Sea!

The only issue was our “double” bed which was two singles pushed together and we kept on falling through the gap in the night!

I would definitely recommend this hotel! :)

Great hotel for a stay

Had a wonderful week with courteous and efficient staff all-too ready to help. Lovely food and wine at very reasonable prices. Being on Gozo, Cornucopia provided a much more relaxing time than our hotel stay on Malta, as interesting as that was. Would like to return even if the outdoor freshwater swimming pool was a bit chilly for my taste. That was early May; come July/August it would be perfect.

Peaceful hotel within beautiful grounds.

Beautiful grounds, adequate room with lovely fast running bath. Two swimming pools. Very good breakfast and evening meals (though the grapefruit juice was somewhat watery.) About a 10 minutes uphill walk to the village. Parking outside the hotel was easy, although probably harder in peak season. Paid Wi-Fi in the room a little tight. I used the free Wi-Fi in the communal areas. Very peaceful, but guess that depends on how many children are staying.

Friendly hotel in perfect position to see Gozo

I would like to call this hotel \"No problem !' Whatever our request we were greeted with this phrase and looked after perfectly by the staff. My husband is a vegetarian and the chef prepared him a special meal each time we visited the restaurant. The staff are all welcoming, friendly and made our stay relaxing and fun . We took advantage of beautiful weather and went coastal walking as well as sight seeing. A ten minute stroll will take you to the piazza with restaurants and The Cornucopia is close to the best beach in Gozo . Perfect spot and lovely people I thoroughly recommend thie Cornucopia hotel !

Brilliant old-world style hotel full of charm.

Lovely old-style hotel with lots of atmosphere. Very welcoming -huge room that was very comfortable, and the evening meal in their restaurant was excellent in all courses - the roast lamb with rosemary particularly good, and my partner had veal which was also great. Huge portions of deserts as well!
We had an excellent Delicata wine made from local Gozitan grapes.
The breakfast next morning was also excellent and as much as you could eat!
The perfect stay and i wish we could have stayed longer -we'll be back there soon!

Hotel for families and couples

We were greeted by a grumpy concierge, admittedly it was 2 am. There was only person who asked about our stay. Breakfast could have been better they staff were most concerned over families. There was not enough sun beds as most guest reserved them with towels so if you snooze you loose!!

Great hotel - big room and nice and quiet

We enjoyed our two nights at this lovely hotel. We had a great view down to the statue of Christ from our room. The room was huge so plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The shower was really good! Good breakfast too to start the day.
The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk outside the main plaza and the neighbourhood is very quiet which we liked.
One down side was that there was no safe in the room and there was a charge if you wanted a safety deposit box, which is a bit disappointing these days.

Nice Quiet Hotel With Excellent Views

Having under gone some major surgery earlier in the year my husband & I were looking for somewhere nice & quiet where I could complete my recovery. We have been to Malta a few times but never Gozo.

We upgraded to one of the Junior suites & I'm very glad we did as it was a fabulous room with possibly the most comfortable hotel bed that I have ever slept on. Having had neurosurgery in addition to the removal of some vertebrae in my neck I now find it hard to sleep comfortably. However, I slept extremely well in this bed with excellent pillows. The views from the balconies were superb & I am already missing them. The bathroom was fabulous with a nice walk in shower & I made good use of the jacuzzi bath.

We arrived on my birthday which was on a Tuesday & therefore there was an outdoor BBQ with a live band. My husband mentioned to the waiter that it was my birthday & the band sang happy birthday to me & I was presented with a piece of cake with sparklers in it which was a nice touch.

The staff were really lovely & helpful & nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent & plentiful.

The decor was a bit dated in the main hotel & the air con wasn't great in some parts. The pool was nice but a bit dirty in the grounds, but great for relaxing in. The only downside for us was a large party of people who were there at the same time as us who were a bit noisy, particularly as I had gone there to recover from my surgery.

All in all we would go back again though.

Good hotel on a lovely island.

We had a really nice stay at the Cornucopia, the hotel staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for us especially the head waiter in the restaurant. The hotel had a lot of character although the rooms were very dated, particularly the air conditioning unit. The swimming pools were good but there weren't enough umbrellas for the amount of people staying in the hotel. Overall we had a great time and would recommend staying.

AC was not effective the ceiling fan looked as if it was about to spin off the ceiling.

Room was very rural bathroom not the best as well as the bedroom. No place to sit in the room (sit on the bed or outside) sometimes it's nice to sit quietly in your room and enjoy a meal ordered from room service.

Food was very disappointing, from the pictures posted on their web site I was expecting a wide variety of local dishes( sea food fresh fruit etc.). Breakfast was very Brithish based very disappointing.
Wifi was limited to the common area and to access additional service the cost was prohibitive.

A delightful hotel, quiet and peaceful.

We stayed initially for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our experience of the hotel and Gozo. The staff were very helpful and we liked the slower pace of life. We then returned to Malta but after a couple of days missed Gozo and the Cornucopia hotel so much we went back for a further three days to enjoy the peaceful tranquil ambience of the hotel and the much less busy beaches and towns of Gozo. The towns were beginning their fiesta times and the villages of Gozo come alive and are so beautiful. The Cornucopia hotel is perfectly situated to enjoy all of this with two swimming pools and a sensitive, charming and characterful environment. We would go back again and recommend it highly for those people who want a bit of peace and quiet!

Outstanding Hotel

We spent 2 nights at the Cornucopia Hotel during our visit to Gozo in March 2014, as part of our 3 months in Malta this winter. The hotel and its setting were beautiful. The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The room was large and very comfortable. The bed was excellent. Great value with the 1/2 board option. The food was very good, the dinner and breakfast menu were different each day. A carafe of local wine with dinner was quite good, and very inexpensive.

We have stayed at the Cornucopia hotel on many occasions. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is in a lovely position overlooking the valleys and down to the sea. The rooms are very well appointed with very modern bathrooms and air conditioning. The pool areas are great places to relax. I would recommend this hotel to friends without hesitation.
