The house is well decorated and fully renovated. The family are very friendly, welcoming and obliging. A great place to relax and a good base to get a taste of the real Malta, away from the tourist hotspots with good bus access to the whole of the island. It's a bit like the Tardis, small on the outside but deceptively... More

Advance contact was made with me by the hosts, with helpful suggestions and advice. The Hypogeum is nearby, and you will be reminded to book early. Several courtesies were offered over and above the expected hospitality. Any needs were responded too quickly and well. It was nice to be in Tarxien. I enjoyed meeting many friendly Malta residents in the... More

So glad we picked this really unusual guest house for our last night of our holiday in Malta. Our hosts were so welcoming and made you feel at home as soon as you walked over the threshold. It appears small from the outside but as they have 5 children and I think there were at least 10 guests this is... More

We really enjoyed our stay at The Burrows in Tarxien, with Chiara and her family. They managed to rebuild their house in an amazing hotel, with lots and lots of atmosphere. Since the family-life also finds place in the hotel, the stay feels really warm, local and personal. The location is really nice: quiet and you can take a bus... More

this is what i heard from another guest after the dinner we had with the burrow family (dinner cooked by Chiara)...and believe me, it's hard to hear 'i'm satisfied'..... Chiara & Frank offer what they are to every guest: an example of 'being yourself' also if you are running a business....doesn't sound like 'staying at home'???? Laura S.

My daughter and me had a fantastic time on Malta and it was the best decision to stay at The Burrow. The family with the five wonderful children was incredibly hospitable and the house is a piece of jewelry. You can reach easily every part of the Island by bus and visit the Tarxien Temple by foot. We really felt... More

We enjoyed our time in Burrow. The house is really beautiful and it was nice to stay with a family. The breakfast was simple but good quality. The location is good - it's situated in quieter Tarxien close to the Hypogeum and Tarxien temples and a short bus ride from Valletta. It's also very close to the airport. It was... More

If you want to know how Maltese are, you certainly never forgot your stay at The Burrow. Very good family, funny girls, you'll feel like at home, or even better ! Very few kilometers from Valletta, Rabat, you'll enjoy the real Malta experience.

Right from the beginning let me say that some travelers might not have the problems we did, or be bothered by them. But what we read by other residents of this B&B did not match our experience. W called B&B from airport as Chira had suggested and she said she’d be there in 15min. After 45 min, nothing. Then a... More
