We stayed for 2 weeks in September as two Maltese Australians of 3rd and 4th generation - myself and a teen son with no living close relatives in Malta. I specifically didn’t choose a town where I know there is a lot of noise, dancing or action at night like Sliema or Bugibba on this occasion. We had very quiet nights in after prioritising resting following touring/history/seeing sights/swimming all day which was our preference. Our sleeps were restful and peaceful in this location. The breakfasts were outstanding, varied and my priority was to experience the local flavours which were more than met. Such was the quality/quantity that we did not need to eat a huge lunch or dinner and often ate lightly thereafter for the rest of the day. Selmunett is located 10 minutes away by walk to a very well stocked supermarket close to the Naxxar church  for supplementary food, snacks, drinks and typical supermarket needs with everything you can think of on sale as in Australia. We used tour buses to get around via an excellent and highly recommended affordable tour company that Roger will refer you to and public buses also when we created our own tours. The designated tour bus meeting point was close to Selmunett being 5 min walk away (St Paul St), the nearest public bus stop being in the same location. Roger and Maria the hosts of Selmunett are entertaining conversationalists and can tell you anything you need to know about Malta and its history. The Wifi which I was heavily relying on worked great, hot showers and electricity all good and no disruptions. Towels well stocked and room was maintained daily. Hiring a car would be slightly more convenient but such is the ease of doing tours and taking public buses there is no absolute need to do so. It is also a 10 minute walk to the amazing venue Palazzo Parisio which was my local highlight of Naxxar. It was like a dream to visit it and is a real converted Palazzo. The garden at Selmunett was a draw card for me and not disappointed on seeing it in person. Very tranquil and shady. Its best for potential first time tourists to Malta to read a Lonely Planet/similar book about Malta before you go so that you are not caught unawares by weather, footwear or the ruggedness of parts of the islands etc....I did not need to use the air con in September and used the overhead fan instead which provided the perfect temperature for day or night when we were in our room. Overall we were quite satisfied coming from Australia with standards of accommodation and food quality here.. The hosts provided us with filtered glass bottles of cold water for drinking each day which was more than enough for two. The reception we received from the local Maltese we encountered around Malta who owned shops and businesses/served us food, or drove us in taxi's/buses and the lovely Maltese tour guides (as above) who spoke multiple Euro languages was awesome, caring, friendly and funny and truly made our stay ! The main point about Malta is it is still small group of tiny islands.  Expecting everything on a little island to run like a German stopwatch or a massive European city of millions is pretty naive and disrespectful. Best you go back to Lonely Planet and read it !  It was really nice to see other non Maltese tourists loving the history and religion and architecture and magnificent churches and basilicas.  Obnoxious and needy other tourists being the only negative  -  though we ignored them and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly ! Well done Selmunett.

Elegant Villa in a rare garden oasis in Naxxar.

Stayed for four nights with my husband. Allocated room appeared fine on arrival, however the room receives no sunshine as stuck in a corner behind trees and as a consequence the room is really damp and very cold at night. We tried to heat the room via the air con, but that was ineffective. Similarly the bathroom is cold. There is a small electric fan heater on the wall, but that trips after 1 minute, so pretty useless. Towels remained  damp all day and  were not changed throughout our four day stay. 
We are use to having a selection for breakfast, but the first day we were served a small bowl of mixed fruit, a tablespoon of yogurt and a few slices of toast with marmalade or jam and a pot of coffee. Roger brought out two glasses of orange juice filled with ice and announced to my husband that if he filled the glasses with ice he didn’t have to give the guests quite so much orange!  I call this penny pinching!
The second day I requested cornflakes and a new box was brought out, so I think it’s up to guests to be explicit about what they expect when they arrive - or the idea of a continental breakfast may differ to what your expecting. 
On the second day Roger advised us he had turned the electric off for heating the water and was now reliant on solar heating. 
On our third day we got up to cold water, when my husband complained  Roger said well some people insist on having a shower at night. Surely most people when they have been on the beach all day want a shower before they go out for dinner! 
Not at all impressed with Homestay, the place and service may have been good in the past, but with all the competition I think they need to up their game. I would not recommend as I think it’s poor value for money and fails to meet even basic standards.

Poor value and penny pinching attitude!

We had a lovely stay at Selmunett Malta Homestay. Roger and Maria are wonderful hosts, taking very good care of their guests. The place itself is so beautiful, very well decorated and with an amazing garden. The room was spacious and comfortable to host our little family (2 adults and a little girl). The location is also very convenient to reach all parts of the island from North to South. I can certainly recommend staying at Selmunett. Thanks, Roger & Maria!

A lovely stay

Rodger & Maria was lovely host. Nothing was to much trouble. The garden was beautiful.  Toby the boxer dog was so lovely & friendly. The whole place felt like home away from home. The breakfast conversations with the hosts was most enjoyable. Our room was very nice. The location of the house is nice & quiet. Thank you Roger & Maria for a pleasant stay.

Thank you Roger & Maria

We had a great stay at Selmunett homestay. 

Communication with the management (Roger and Maria)  was very easy using Mail, phone or WhatsApp from the Booking to the check-out.

Location is central to the Island, and easy to find, thanks to Google Maps.

Roger and Maria are authentic Maltese and true living memories of this Island : I will always remember our discussions during the delightful breakfast.

Their kindness and advices are very useful to enjoy a smouth and "problem free" stay. They are very careful about guests needs and tastes, and we really appreciated that.

I highly recommand Selmunett Malta Homestay for your Maltese vacations.

A+ stay, thanks to Maria, Roger and Tobby ;)

This is a beautiful guesthouse, hosted by Roger and Maria. The breakfasts are delicious, nothing is too much trouble for this lovely couple. Lots of help with deciding where to go each day, and information second to none about the island too. Toby the boxer is adorable, room spotless, pretty garden, what more is needed? Highly recommended.

Hospitality at its best

The bed was SO comfortable, the room was a decent size, everything was really clean.

The house dog (a boxer called Toby) was lovely. 

Breakfast was at around 8:30am, and slightly different each day. This allowed for a full day of exploring Malta. The hosts local knowledge was vast! With Malta being quite small, the location is just about perfect for an exploring base.

The only minor downside was the "stelth" mosquitoes. Couldn't hear them but their bites were easy to find. But this is not the fault of the owners.

Wonderful Home grown fruit for breakfast

We stayed with Maria and Roger for four nights. Selmunett was the ideal location for exploring the island by car. Roger provided much helpful information for our day trips. Breakfast each morning was amazing, especially looking out on the gardens. Our room on the ground floor was very comfortable with plenty of storage space and large bathroom. 
If you’re looking for hands-on owners with a wealth of information, this homestay is ideal.

Friendly, comfortable, relaxing

We had a short 4 night break at this B&B and it was perfect. Roger and Maria went out of their way to make us welcome and help with all our queries. Among the many assists, Roger arranged airport transfers, late night check-in, help with busses (re-routed because the town centre was closed due to an annual festival), recommended places to see, restaurant booking, told interesting stories and many other things.  The garden is extensive and full of fragrant herbs, plants and flowers. Our room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. There are only two guest rooms (in a house in its own grounds) which means its peaceful and its easy to get to know other travellers. Breakfasts should get 6 stars for their quality, content and variety. Many thanks to our hosts! (including the friendly boxer, Toby).

An oasis of calm

A B&B in a quiet area with a lovely garden and an extremely friendly dog. So much like being at home. The rooms are delightful, the breakfasts which vary each day, are extremely well prepared and presented and the help you get from Roger and Maria is
inestimable. As well as your room you have freedom of the garden and part of the house. Ideally you need a car but be adventurous and use the local bus services, its easy and inexpensive.
