Duncan Guest House sits in a prime position overlooking the village square and harbour of the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk. Our room (number one) was huge in size with a very comfortable super king size bed. Our balcony overlooked the square and the harbour and was a great place for people watching and just chilling out. The bathroom was large with wash basin, toilet and very large walk-in shower. The large overhead shower head provided copious amounts of hot water and is supplemented by a had held spray head. The room has a comfortable two seater settee, a desk a chair. There is a double wardrobe with shelves, a refrigerator with small ice box and tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast is taken in a dedicated breakfast room. A cooked breakfast is supplied to order and was excellent. Fresh fruit salad yoghurts and pastries are also included. Michael the proprietor us a lovely helpful man and is ably assisted by Mary. Just looking at the room and breakfast they are equal to many five star hotels I have stayed in. Hourly busses run from the airport at a cost of 2 euro per person and take about 35 minutes. Highly recommended we have already booked the same week and room next year

Michael is the best host that you can expect and hope for. We booked the accomodation because of its great ratings and we can do nothing but agree with what we've read. It already starts in the morning when he asks you what you want for breakfast and then prepares delicious scrambled eggs or e.g. an omelett for you. Also there is always fresh fruit salad - amongst other things of course. In general he is there for you; he is being very attentive and helpful with everything. We, for example, had some problems with the arrival due to our flight, but thanks to Michael our vacation still turned into a wonderful week.
Duncan's Guest House is perfectly located in the centre of beautiful Marsaxlokk. It is very clean and pretty. We got a big & comfy bed and we really liked the modern bathroom. We also loved the view from the balcony, we could start every day enjoying the panorama of Marsaxlokk and its pretty harbour. To sum it all up: we really enjoyed our time at cozy Duncan's Guest House.
Thank you again for everything!

The owner is very friendly and helpful. He has been running it for decades. It is a family business and I can tell that they are good people who don't think just about the money.
Really liked the bedding and strong shower stream (free massage ha ha).
For breakfast you can make a request so that you would get something cooked for you. Really liked the kitchen area. Simple but cosy.
It is a very good location, definitely worth it! 10/10

This is a great guest house, which is family owned/run for over 100 years. The owner/administrator Michael, helped and communicated well with me throughout this whole process. . We only stayed for one night, but Michael made it very convenient for us. First, while still away from the vacation. He reassured that I will be OK to check in even though it’s after midnight since the flight will arrive around midnight. He arrange for a pick up for us at a reasonable price from the airport to the guesthouse. The place is clean with basic essentials. They had a great breakfast of homemade breakfast, with eggs cooked to your liking. There is a nice rooftop just around the corner from the breakfast area where you can see the port area. When we went it was the Sunday fish market day so obviously it was a very busy day. Michael also gave us a great recommendation for a nearby restaurants. He also told us the best way to go to the Saint peter‘s. This is such a nice place to stay right in the center of Marsaxxlokk fishing village area.

Spent 3 nights at this little gem. Balcony view over harbour. Room and facilities absolutely spotless. Very comfortable with tea coffee making facilities and small fridge. Tastefully decorated. Michael the owner could be more hospitable he goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. Cooked breakfast in morning lovely and fresh fruit salad delicious. Everything you need to start the day. His staff were very pleasant too. Quiet and relaxing place. Only one point. A few hooks in bathroom would be beneficial or in room. Will definitely be back. Wishing Michael all the best in his plans for the future with the breakfast terrace.

We recently stayed at the Duncan Guesthouse , a family-run hotel, and had a great experience. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, creating a comfortable and hygienic environment. The room was a perfect size for two. The warm welcome and accommodating nature of Michael the owner and the staff made us feel valued throughout our stay.
Being a family-run establishment, the personal touch was evident in every aspect. Michael speaks several languages, which makes communication very easy.
I highly recommend this hotel for its warm hospitality, flexibility, and cleanliness. It's perfect if you want to spend sometime in a small fisherman’s town.
Thank you to Michael and the entire team for their outstanding service and commitment to guest satisfaction.

Small but very welcoming structure. Our room, no. 1, was spacious, with a comfortable bed and large bathroom with window, and equipped with many small conveniences (TV, full-length mirror, USB sockets, hairdryer, jug of water, kettle, mini fridge...). Basic but more than sufficient breakfast, and friendly, kind and helpful host. Stunning location on the seafront.

We had a wonderful time in Marsaxlokk. Hotel is lovely and in a perfect position on the harbour front. Michael the owner is great! He went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The property is so very well kept, spotlessly clean throughout . We had a lovely breakfast each morning cooked by Michael. The beds are very comfortable. We had a good nights sleep every night. We will definitely return.

As well as the guesthouse the family own an apartment, behind the church. We have stayed in both. When we return, in May, taking French friends, it will be to the apartment with its own little courtyard. We love Marsaxlokk and Duncan's which is right in the centre of the village. Probably not ideal for children - you have to travel to find good beach and swimming. But for a calm and easy holiday this location is ideal.
