The experience in Xemxija Bay Hotel was in general grateful, I would say that the breakfast is quite repetitive, but in general, the hotel is OK if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

4/10 Fair

I booked a very basic room, I stayed from 29Jan to 1Feb 2026 (narrowly missing the storm that hit Malta the week before) The automatic heating timer was no ideal, as it got very cold at night and the room was cold. The breakfast was not worth it, would recommend to go to a local cafe that will be better and worth the price! The location of the hotel is amazing, as soon as you leave you a greeted with an amazing view of the Mediterranean sea Overall an Okay experience of the hotel, the staff were nice, (limited interactions with them) I did not try the bar or other amenities of the hotel, (I want to go back to Malta again during May or September to truly experience the islands, I will book this hotel again (decent price) and review in the future

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Dining was convenient and quantuty was good. Will say food was a little bland. My only real complaint was the hill that gad to be negotiated wgen heading for the bus and the distance to the beach. Pool was nice. A hot tub would be a giod addition. When construction is done it will be even better.

Great location, amazing view

The breakfast food options were good, staff were friendly and kept filling in the empty trays, it would have been better with English sausages and mushrooms. Very pleased with the fresh jalapeños and olives. The bed was high and comfortable with extra cushions.

We had a very good experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was spotlessly clean, the pool was so nice and I loved that there were umbrellas for shade. The balcony was a great addition. The beds could have been more comfortable but not bad. The A/C in the room was excellent

Relaxing One-Night Stay We stayed at Xemxija Bay Hotel for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pool view, which made it feel even more relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The hotel is in a peaceful area but still close to local restaurants and scenic walks. A great spot for a short getaway—would happily return!
