Tarona Guesthouse

My stay at Tarona Guesthouse was a very bad experience. From the moment I arrived, there was a terrible smell coming from the bathroom and toilet. Every time I turned on the water, there was a loud and disturbing noise. The room was dirty, full of dust and insects, and I even saw cockroaches walking around the building. The towels provided were clearly dirty. When I politely asked for clean towels, the manager rudely told me to go stay in a 5-star hotel if I wanted comfort. After I pointed out how dirty the place was, he started turning off the air conditioning at night — even though it was over 30°C in the room. On top of that, there is no sound insulation at all, so you can hear everything happening outside, which made it very hard to sleep. I absolutely do not recommend this place. Avoid it at all costs.

⭐ Review: Extremely disappointing stay – Would not recommend I stayed at Tarona Guesthouse for ten days, and it was honestly the worst accommodation experience I’ve ever had. • Very poor hygiene: The room was dirty, the bathroom had a constant bad smell, and the pillowcase was filthy — I even got skin irritation and breakouts because of it. The mosquito net above the bed was stained and clearly not cleaned. • No cleaning service: The room was never cleaned during my entire stay, even though I stayed for over a week. • Terrible sound insulation: I could hear everything from other rooms and the hallway. It was loud and uncomfortable all the time. • Bad overall atmosphere: Between the bad smells, lack of cleanliness, and noise, I couldn’t relax at all. It was frustrating and unpleasant. • Poor customer service: The staff weren’t helpful or responsive to complaints or requests. 🔹 The only positive thing I can mention is the location — it’s close to the beach and well-connected by public transport. But overall, I would never return and I don’t recommend this place to anyone who values cleanliness, comfort, or decent service.

I slept in the hotel for an additional fee - 62 euros due to lack of interest from e-sky and samege of the owner of the "hotel". Traveling on a delayed plane, forget about accommodation after a delay in arrival. Cold at night and the action of turning off the heating by the air conditioning. I do not recommend

I booked tarona guesthouse for 2 nights. First night i arrived late. There was instructions left for me how to enter. There was cock roches running around the room. The room was small. No bottle drinking water. The common kitchen area shared with other guest the power was switched off so you could not make tea. The main light would not turn on. The fridge smelled disguesting as it was pluged out. Dishes all over the counter. I stayed one night. Left early the next evening. The lady took 2 night stay ftom my credit card. I sent her a number of messege looking for a refund for the second night as i did not stay. I also had receipts . She never contacted me. If this place was investigated by the health authority it would be shut down.

There is a little guest kitchen where you can cook breakfast or meals if you want to and our room had a fridge, kettle and mugs which was excellent. The water goes cold in the shower if you’re not quick though! A nice typical Maltese place to stay though. Near Buggiba and Qawra and right next to an excellent pizza place called Made In Sud and a fully stocked convenience store, 40 yards away.

Check-in was very easy: room key and info left on the reception table. I was sent a code via email in advance to access the building during out-of-hours. We got a clean and tidy room with one single and one large double bed. Bed was very comfy. Lots of storage space and towels. No hooks anywhere to hang up towels, only a small, low coat hook thing. The lights were a little cold and dim but it didn't bother us. There was an internal window with a light always on on the other side and no curtains. It was a bit annoying when trying to sleep. The walls and door were a bit thin, so you could hear people in the hallway easily so in that sense privacy felt a bit affected. Was pleased to have an ensuite bathroom with walls, as past reviews said some bathrooms just had a curtain. I assume they finished construction since. The bathroom was clean, with hand soap and hot water from shower, but wasn't perfect in construction (normal for Malta). This was evident because there wasn't enough legroom to sit on the toilet as your legs hit the wall. Had to sit at an angle. Some shower fixtures were loose and the shower head couldn't be adjusted without it falling. The water pumps were very loud every time you use water. You could also hear them from other rooms in the night. There was a kettle but it didn't work properly on arrival. We failed to mention this during our short stay but informed Aaron at check-out and he seemed proactive to sort out the issue. There was also a mini fridge which was useful, and instant coffee, cups and glasses with a bottle of still water (that was very nice!). Free wifi was ok but patchy at times. This place was definitely good enough for what we needed, affordable (through ***********) with a good location. I would stay again and recommend to a friend!
