We only stopped briefly at the Splendid Guest House, but wished we could have stayed longer.  Robert was really helpful and hospitable.  The rooftop terrace is a fabulous place to chill out, with views over Comino all the way to Gozo.  There are also a couple of relaxing lounge areas and a basement breakfast room with free self-service tea / coffee / etc available all day.  The (downhill) walk to the beach was longer than expected, but we got the bus back, so didn't experience the climb back up.  Lots of restaurants in the vicinity.

Thank you Robert.  You made the last day of our holiday really brilliant!

Chilled, friendly and alternative - absolutely brilliant!

Very splendid place to stay.  Robert and his staff are wonderful and this home away from home does not disappoint.  Rent a car to get around, it's super convenient to explore the whole island and even jump over to Gozo on the ferry. Loved the 60's vibe, the rooftop view was really something special! I hope to return again.

THE place to stay on Malta!

Very clean and comfortable. Great value for money! Colourful and original decor. I was worried it might be a place just for youngsters but all ages fit in. Tasty breakfast included in the price. I would certainly recommend staying here.

Unique place to stay

I had zero expectations when I arrived at the Splendid Guesthouse and from the moment I walked through the door things were... well splendid. The decoration, lovely notes and beautiful communal areas make you feel right at home and the staff went out of their way to do the same. The rooftop is great to relax at in the evenings and the shaded areas, lovingly decorated, saved me in the Malta heat for a couple of siesta's. And for me personally the music played during the day was excellent and greatly added to the atmosphere. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you like beautiful environments and kind-hearted and open people who will go the extra mile for you, I would recommend you check it out. A place of love and healing.

Beautiful place and people

I stayed here with my girlfriend in a double room for 3 nights. We have choosen this place consciously as we were searching a comfy and relaxed place to spend our long weekend. We didn't get disappointed, all was absolutely clean and the whole staff was outstanding friendly and helpful. Robert and Aidin, the owners, are running and still building up this place since 2016 and have put a lot of passion and dedication into this place what can be felt in many details. The atmosphere is inspired mainly by indian influences and an alternative way of living. So to feel comfortable and enjoy the stay you should be open-minded to a certain point and not be expecting an ordinary Hotel-accommodation. This place is much more than that!
Thank you very much for hosting us, it was a pleasure for us to stay in your place! :)

A special place with a special atmosphere

We (my wife and I) have booked a room including two single beds for 4 days since it was the last room available and at a low price (35 € including breakfast). The first day, we should have arrived at 1.30 A.M. but we came later (at 2.15 A.M.). But fortunately, the host stayed later waiting for us although he was exhausted and falling asleep. He also took time to show us the facilities. 
The breakfast is hearty and the welcome warm. Two spaces (hippie style) are available for the guests, they were very peaceful with warm colours and musics.
The hosts also helped and advised us. 

Thanks you for your hospitality

Warm guesthouse

It was a pleasure to meet the staff and make friends with them instantly. Lovely place, and rooms to stay. Peacefull rooftop and chill music in the house its so relaxing you cannot imagine. Would visit again, Malta is awesome, and want to meet the staff again. I can only advice u to stay here if you thinking on a visit. But try not to visit in the summertime :/ too damn hot... :D

Holiday

Had a great stay. All of the staff were really nice and the room was clean. Loved the colourful decor and the chilled vibe.

Roof terrace has great views over the bay and Melliah and enjoyed the sun up here. Breakfast buffet had a good range too.

Friendly staff, great room

Splendid Guest House is actually a youth hostel and should be categorized as such. This is unsuitable for elderly people due to being on a very steep road.
The staff are very friendly and deliver needs where possible. The request for a ground floor was honored for elderly relatives arriving later. As well as the possibility to borrow a towel for the beach.  Upon arrival I had to pay in two parts as their machine could not handle a high amount, I was simply given the receipts from the machine but no invoice with the taxes and lodging, was also requested to pay an extra fee for environmental tax and pay in cash , no receipt provided either???
The atmosphere is a hippie style old furniture revamped which looked nice, however does not correspond to what I had to pay per night €70.00 for a two week stay based on a single occupancy. 
There are AC's in all the rooms but these are under lock and bolt and not switched on. There are electric fans  instead. The water was cold on the first where you had to waste water and let it run before it did get warm. Rooms are dark and noisy, you can hear a whole conversation in from 'the lobby" . The rooms were cleaned everyday , however towels and sheets are not replaced on a regular basis.
The breakfast is disappointing sliced bread (No Maltese bread which can easily be purchased at the bakery down the road) and seems like they are trying to cut down costs . Choice of jams from Lidl as well as tea and the coffee was always getting empty in the morning. There is only cheese and one small bowl of yogurt placed in the fridge to share with all guest's ? There are also nuts as well as tahini (for breakfast?) .
Points to improve use the big kitchen you have and serve eggs (can be purchased from the vegetable man that comes past the hostel), bacon and cold-cuts for breakfast . Personal beliefs should not entail that your guests are expected to be vegetarian too, when running a business. Guest's are expected to tidy their plates by putting it on the trolley? Fresh air and or an AC in the breakfast room would be appreciated. Yes it is a relaxed atmosphere however staff walking around barefooted in the breakfast room is not quite professional. 
The price of €70.00 is too high , as there are compatible hotels in Malta which provide a proper breakfast with a room and private bathroom and AC. 
All in all yes the staff are very friendly however remember that the guest's are paying and the facilities provided and maintenance should also correspond as well.

Friendly, however room for improvement

I stayed at Splendid Guest House years ago before they switched owners. The rooms basic, clean and a good breakfast was included. Just what you would expect of a B&B.
The current owner has been running this guest house for the past 3 years. First impression on website is that they have given the place some color. I referred people to Splendid based on my experiences before the current owner took over, and I dearly regret it! Little did I know they were not happy, especially when it comes to breakfast which was very poor in choice and quality.
The establishment has 11 rooms in total and a pretty professional kitchen in the basement, which is not being utilized. Breakfast is also served (Self-service) in the basement area, and could do with a makeover. Pretty depressing. How difficult can it be to provide a good breakfast, with variety? No Maltese bread. No meat products. Owner is vegan which I respect, but please do not impose your way of life on your guests. Price / quality not in balance. Air conditioner broken, and no attempt to get it fixed. Splendid should change its name to youth hostel. This is no longer a place to stay for guests who expect a decent bed & breakfast establishment. 
Advice to owner: Be clear on your website that you are running a youth hostel and not a B&B. You have a great location, you just need to put in the extra effort with a good breakfast. It's just too basic for the price you are asking.
