Lovely boutique style hotel. Very modern and clean. Main pool area slightly too small for number if guests and of course towels placed on sunbeds, then no one using them. Bar near roof top pool great staff. Reception staff also great. I didn't get the room I wanted at first but they immediately changed it so was very impressed with that. Nice quiet pleasant hotel which we will use again if back in Gozo.

Very good breakfast! Very nice staff, they helped us with a breakfast to go do our early check out . The rooftop pool and area was really good with a beautiful view.

The staff kindly changed our room to one with a better view - overlooking the pool and scenery beyond. The location of the hotel is great - near bus stop and harbour waterfront with lots of restaurant options. The food at the Reef was very good. Staff was most helpful. Really enjoyed our 3 night stay!

Great hotel. Staff were absolutely lovely and attentive. There are 2 pools to use and both are lovely. Only downside was that the balcony wasn’t really a balcony for our room, it was shared and very small, not able to fit a chair in. Also, it is important to note that the hotel is still undergoing construction so one day was woken up at 8 in the morning to loud drilling. If no drilling and a bigger balcony would be 5 star!

Lovely hotel. Really clean and the staff is lovely. There is a new swimming pool area but it was closed almost the whole time we were there, and the sauna was out of action, which was hugely disappointing as I emailed/messaged the Reef to check they'd be open for our stay and they assured me they would be. Anyway, breakfast was good and the outdoor pools were nice but very cold until later in summer.

A shout-out to the hardworking and friendly staff, especially Alex and Sabana at the front desk, who are always smiling and happy to help in every way possible. It's a new facility, so they are still addressing some mechanical issues, but they are eager to improve and welcome feedback from guests. Great location close to the water with plenty of dining options and a convenient bus stop for exploring other parts of Gozo. I would definitely stay there again in the future.

Beautiful new hotel with great breakfast and parking. Reception staff was incredible, very caring and went the extra mile to ensure we had a great stay. There were a lot of roadworks around Gozo so that was a challenge with such narrow streets, but hotel was well located we managed to drive everywhere and reception staff provided us with maps and tips to find good parking around the island. The spa is not open yet but looks amazing so far. We had issues in the pool with my friends’ getting a skin rash and their swimsuit ending up bleached, we made reception aware and were appropriately compensated. Overall it’s a good place to stay with caring staff

A fantastic stay with far superior room amenities than I expected. 2 minutes from the beach and within easy taxi travel (Bolt Taxis) of the port.

Our room was exceptionally spacious with a mini-fridge, large comfortable bed with soft pillows. We were provided with a large TV with numerous channels, Youtube and Netflix. We sunbathed in a nice area surrounding a small pool. There was also a nice internal pool and spa. A rooftop pool was under construction and I assume would be open to guests in the coming months. The breakdast was pretty good with varied options. The staff were polite and attentive. The hotel was only a 5 minute walk to the harbour where there were a variety of restaurants, some with great sea views. The hotel has only recently been built and all the fixtures and fittings are in brand new condition.

Newly opened so everything works well and looks good. Bathrooms do not have ventilation so it gets pretty steamy after a shower. Staff is very friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out.

I highly recommend a stay here! Nice, clean rooms and the view over the landscape from the rooftop pool is amazing. The stuff is so helpful! When I had a addiction for choclate in the middle of the night and the supermarkets was not open the girl in the reception offered me her private Kit Kat. So sweet! The village where the hotel is are very nice and you can walk to several interesting sights. Do not miss this place! It has very good vibes!

A very new hotel in a great location. 2 minutes walk to a small beach and the harbour with cafes, bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is of a very high quality with a stunning (if cold) rooftop pool and a smaller second pool on the 3rd floor which was wonderfully sheltered when the weather was windy. There was plenty of seating/loungers at both pools. We didn't dine in the restaurant but we did have drinks and snacks which were lovely and all very reasonably priced. The room was extremely comfortable, well equipped and nicely furnished with a very comfortable bed. The highlight of our stay were the staff. Particularly Michealle who went out of her way to provide excellent customer service. It my husband's birthday and she made sure he had lots of lovely treats and surprises.

The moment we walked into the hotel, the staff had been very welcoming, and so was the hotel interior. It is quite new and looked beautiful inside. It’s a short walk to the beach and restaurants although the hotel has its own (we weren’t able to try the restaurant due to time limitations but had really good food at the rooftop bar). The room was very spacious, extremely clean and bright. The fixtures were modern. It had a minimalist vibe which we liked. The bathroom was beautiful, had the usual amenities but with added hair conditioner which was not typical of hotels, even pricey ones. The hotel had two pools, our favourite was the rooftop pool where you had beautiful 360 degree views of the area, including the sea. There was a bar which served lovely food at a reasonable price. All the staff in the hotel had a ready smile every time we met them and were very helpful with any questions we had. As we were also visiting Valetta, we only stayed 2 nights in the hotel which we now regret, as it was the best hotel out of the three we stayed in while in Malta. If we ever come back, we are staying at The Reef Hotel for sure.

A Fantastic New Hotel with Exceptional Comfort!

We had a wonderful stay at the newly opened Reef Hotel – a true gem! After a few nights of poor sleep at our previous accommodation, it was an absolute dream to arrive at this modern and impeccably clean hotel. The beds and duvets were incredibly comfortable, offering a perfect night's sleep for both adults and children. The kids were especially happy to each have their own full-size single bed, with the same level of comfort – truly outstanding! The in-room entertainment system was excellent. We loved how easy it was to log into streaming apps or simply cast content from our phones using Chromecast – smooth and convenient. Breakfast was a highlight! The generous buffet was complemented by a well-curated à la carte menu. The Eggs Benedict became a family favorite – delicious and beautifully prepared. Staff members were incredibly friendly, attentive, and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable and relaxed. Finally, the hotel features two great pool areas: one large rooftop pool with beautiful views and a smaller pool surrounded by greenery that felt like a peaceful oasis. Both were perfect for unwinding and enjoying the sun. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, high-comfort stay on Gozo!

Lovely hotel, handy location near to the beach area and lots of restaurants. We ate in 5 of them and all of them were excellent. The pool staff on the rooftop pool were very friendly and helpful helping to find sun loungers together. We never had an issue finding 2 together at any time of the day. A relaxing break in a lovely hotel.

My wife, our two young children and I stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and well located, within a short drive to Ramla beach and Victoria. The breakfast buffet is worth it. The pools are also excellent, especially the roof top pool where you can see the beautiful landscape surrounding the hotel.

The hotel is situated in a quiet and picturesque area. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, spacious, and had some beautifully modern aesthetic upgrades including various levels of lighting. We appreciated the layout of the space and all of the shelving and storage available in our room. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast on-site offered many different options for various international preferences and was well-stocked. We also enjoyed some of the pizza for dinner one evening, and thought it was ok. Everything was clean and well maintained but we were a bit bothered by the flies during patio mealtimes and bees and wasps while enjoying the pool areas.
