This was a very nice character house in a great location on Gozo. We were able to get anywhere on the island very easily and quickly. The host was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much!
A quaint, simple cottage-like home. Good communication with our host who answered our questions promptly. Affordable accommodation that gives you the feel of living like a local.
Lovely farmhouse, area, quiet and peaceful, very friendly. Would recommend.

Generally a really good place to stay regarding the price-performance ratio! The only issue we had every now and then was the flushing of the toilet but that was nothing major - so all in all happy with our stay :) also very friendly host - always answered very quickly!!
We enjoyed our stay every second! Nice maltese farmhouse with its own charme which made it easy to feel good :)
Maria was very adorable and helpful!
Thanks for the wonderful time :) we’ll come back!
-Despite the flight delay, the pick-up service worked very
well. As well as the transfer to the airport. Thank you
again.
-Accommodation corresponds to the listing and pictures
are identical.
-Furnishing is functional and good. Everything you need
in the house is available.
-Maria and her family are very nice, friendly and helpful.
A gracious and hospitable person and hostess. Thank
you very much again for everything. We would love to
come back...:-)
Very traditional limestone vaulted house. Very well equipped. The washing machine was very handy when you're traveling with just carry on luggage and the sun terrace was excellent for drying laundry as well as a place to relax and soak up the sun. Our host was amazing, She was very understanding about us arriving late with flight delays and trouble with the hire car. The only negative is there is a lot of construction happening on the island and the road outside the property seems to be where the trucks head to the quarry, so you can be woken quite early. There are shutters on the windows that greatly reduce the noise but you can't completely avoid it when a thundering big truck passes. However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it's central enough to be able to explore the island. Would book again.
Es war ein top ausgestattetes Haus. Wir hatten alles, was man auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt braucht. Maria war eine sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Ein süßes kleines typisches maltesisches Haus.Es war sehr sauber und die Vermieterin machte in der Hälfte der 2Wochen noch mal sauber, mit neuer Bettwäsche und Handtüchern. Wir bekamen sogar einen Wein als Willkommensgeschenk und es war Brot und Käse bei der Ankunft bereit gestellt - sehr nett!Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin klappte über das Portal problemlos und sie war nicht im Ansatz nervig.Mäuse, wie von einem berichtet, gab es nicht und alles war zu unserer Zufriedenheit.Eins der Zimmer ist ein Durchgangszimmer zum nächsten Schlafzimmer, das fanden wir aber nicht störend.Wer einen leichten Schlaf hat, sollte das untere Zimmer meiden, da die Straße, die auch wirklich viel befahren ist, direkt vor dem Fenster verläuft.Sonst ist das Haus ideal gelegen um Gozo zu erkunden. Uns hat es dort sehr gut gefallen!
Wir hatten eine schöne Woche in Kercem. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für die Unterkunft ist sehr gut. die Bushaltestelle liegt in 2min Gehweg entfernt und es gibt einen kleinen Supermarkt und einen Bäcker 5min entfernt.Das Haus ist sehr alt mit viel Charme, falls man allerdings Comfort möchte sollte man etwas anderes buchen. Jetzt im Winter ist es abends etwas kühl dort, aber es gibt eine Feuerstelle die wir benutzen durften. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und kamen am nächsten Tag, wir hatten einen einen self check in. Die Kommunikation via Whatsapp war prima.
Leider einige nachteile.
-KLIMAANLAGE MUSS EXTRA BEZAHLT WERDEN
-dreckig klobürste voller kod
-Mäuse die die lebenmittel fressen.
-umgeben von baustellen. Jeden morgen um 5 wurde man geweckt.
-nervige nachbars Hunde, die permanent bellen.
-alles fällt auseinander und scheinbar wird nichts erneut.
- schwer die finden
- vermieten standen täglich vorm Haus, sogar nachts. Was ziemlich kontrollierend rüber kommt.
-nachbarnhaus ist einstürzgefährdet.
-sehr heftige temperaturen im Gebäude. Ohne klima nicht auszuhalten.
Fazit
Das ambiete war schick aber die ganzen negativ Aspekte lassen uns leider eine negative Bewertung geben.
Schade

Authentisches Ambiente
Authentisches maltesisches Haus in traditioneller Gestaltung ideal bei sonnigem Wetter.
This is a lovely, spacious, authentic property which is easy to reach. We were able to rest perfectly inside the stone walls of this former farmhouse which is still close to arable land just round the corner. Our messages to the host were answered promptly, and we received helpful suggestions. We arrived on Good Friday, and were concerned about getting provisions for that evening. Maria had left bread and a few other essentials for us, which was most helpful. The place is full of character, and we won’t forget our stay any soon.
We visited Gozo in a cold January and welcomed the propane heaters and wood fire already lit by our host - and the extra blankets she provided!
The property is comfortable with a good kitchen/dining area and a snug living room. One double room is off the living room on the ground floor; the second double is upstairs with the room with two single beds leading off it. There is shower room upstairs and a bath and shower downstairs.
The property is 2 minutes walk from a bakery (with delicious cakes), a ‘pub’ with excellent food; a small supermarket. Five minutes gets you to a couple of restaurants.
There is a bus service to Victoria which, if energetic enough, you could walk, and more supermarkets and shops, but we’d recommend a car so there was freedom to go where your fancy takes you. There are fishing villages, salt pans and rocks and two or three sandy bays as well as the capital and other towns and villages.
All that is needed for a quiet, relaxed holiday away from it all!
Overall it's not a bad place to stay. Nice building with roof terrace and barbeque.
However if someone have trouble sleeping, it might turn into nightmare.
Building is next to the very busy road with all windows facing it.
You can hear trucks, mopeds, cars going past almost 24/7. Given that most of the cars in Malta are old, they tend to be very noisy.
You can hear large old trucks rattling past well after midnight and at 4, 5 in the morning.
We had a bit of a shock on the first night and could barely sleep.
This realy should have been mentioned in the description.
Once you get used to all the noise it's not bad
Badly needs updating with very old furniture and bedding, ancient old cooker and washing machine, uncomfortable seating, at most 2 star ratings, not recommended

Nice house, noisy location
The house is spacious for four and charming. Simple and basic but with everything you need. The owner is a lovely lady, but there are a few things that we were disappointed about. The matrasses had seen better days and are in need of replacing. Ventilators are provided in all bedrooms, but aircon is not available.
The house is situated along a busy road and frequently used by industrial lorries from a quarry. These lorries speed past the bedroom windows from early morning. There is also a mobile shop that does the village rounds, sounding its horn loudly at regular intervals, so if you are looking for a quiet getaway this is not the place to choose.
That said, this is a good central location for a short break to explore Gozo.
We stayed for 3 week in Maria's charming farmhouse and we absolutely loved it. The house has a lot of character, with 2 amazing balconies which we used a lot, one of it the rooftop with a stunning view and we were as well able to watch the sunrise from there .Maria was a great host, such a lovely woman and she did everything to do our stay comfortable. She found a car for us to rent during our stay and she always responded quickly with all our inquiries and minor things which needed to be solved. We highly recommend this lovely farmhouse and would stay here again :)

The Place to Stay
The farmhouse is wonderful, full of character, spacious and well equipped. The outside terraces are lovely. Would highly recommend this property as a base if you want to tour the island. The owners are kind and considerate and the people of Kercem are very welcoming.
