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

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.

Amazing hotel. Still brand new. Very good location. It needs some more finishing touches such as: extractor in bathroom, extraction system in general hotel area (lobby), as the smell of food is powerful, even when you enter from the front door.
