Malfranza Apartments

Location, location, location and the exceptional service from the owner who went above and beyond my expectations.

Nothing to mention, everything was pleasant and comfortable for my vacation.

The quietness. And scene garden area.

The neighbours were doing a bit of work. It was tolerable thought.

The location and how clean it is

The rooms were clean and the owner split our family into two rooms so our kids would be more comfortable. The son drove us to the local mall and to the cruise terminal. Perfect spot to crash for a night.

The beds were comfortable but there were no blankets. We were so sleepy that the single sheet didn’t matter. More than one night might have been an issue. To be fair, we didn’t ask if they had comforters or extra blankets.

I like the fact that the host provides an all inclusive package, i.e. accommodation and transportation. The space is fully furnished and clean.

Très bonne communication entre le propriétaire et moi avant le séjour, il a été très réceptif à mes demandes. L'appartement est simple et agréable, conforme à mes attentes.

La zone est un peu bruyante, à cause de la proximité de la route. Mais une fois dans la chambre, les bruits ne parviennent pas. La connexion wifi mérite d'être améliorée, peut-être ajouter un routeur plus puissant.

Clean,safe and great transportation service

Authentic Barbados experience. Was in a local area not on the tourist strip. The owner was very helpful in arranging all our transport requirements. A good introduction to Barbados.

Everything

Nothing

There was no breakfast. The location was ideal. The room was equipped with everything necessary for one's comfort.

Everything was good. I only stayed one night. There was nothing to dislike.

Let us be clear on what this place is. This residence is a series of rooms which are the extensions to someone's house. The accommodations are simple in that you have bedroom, bathroom, tv, internet and maybe a kitchen. If you are ok with this setup, then this is a fantastic place to stay. The host Gregory is very friendly and ready to accommodate. Wifi wasn't a problem for me. I walked to the Sky Mall to get groceries which is about 20 minutes away though part is a long the highway. There is some noise from the highway, but it is manageable. There are no parties or night clubs in the area to disturb your sleep. Being along the highway, I was able to take the bus to Warrens where I had business. I also took the bus in the other direction to Oistins for the fish fry. Transportation is as good as one could expect for Barbados. This residence is as reasonable priced as anywhere in Barbados. I will definitely stay there again if I have to take another business trip in the area.

I was missing a connecting flight and had to stay one night in Barbados. Despite being quite late I was welcome personally by the owner, my mini-apartment had all you need and I could even pay the next day when settled in. Very personal and caring service.

We were greeted with a warm welcome, the apartment is very clean and it has everything you could possibly need. A taxi was arranged for us from the airport which was so helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

The service was great, the owners were very hospitable and the place had all the things needed for a comfortable stay.

That they can provide pick up from and to the airport. Persons with appointments with the U.S. Embassy can be dropped off and picked up. It made my experience less stressful.

n/a

This property gave me the warm feeling of home a well deserved 5 stars. I appreciated contact made before I arrived for the arrangement of transportation. The best part of my trip was my stay.

I love the apartments, very comfortable, very cosy. The host is very hospitable and ready to help/ assist. I’d recommend this place a thousand times

My only issue was the proximity to the highway Heard traffic while trying to sleep

Everything was nice and clean i feel very comfortable and safe, i will definitely stays there again anytime

I arrived at Barbados Airport on January 3rdand the driver for Malfranza Apartments picked me up with a sign. I believe it was the son of the owner who I met when I arrived and gave me a key and showed me the room. No sign of anyone else around at Malfranza Apartments. The driver said he would be back at 10 am on January 4th. Only one bottle of water. Ice tray in small refrigerator had water but no ice. AC was adequate. I woke up cold during the night and only a sheet on the bed I went and grabbed a towel to help stay warm and turned off the AC. I asked the son when I arrived about getting coffee and some food in the morning as I am diabetic. He pointed to around the corner. Around 8 am the next day I tried to get out of the electronic gate but did not know the code. I thought I would ask around the other rooms but quickly realized I was the only person on the property. I thought to myself I should have made sure someone was on the premises 24 hours a day. After 45 minutes I started walking around the property and found a small side gate that opened. The son had told me the previous night he would be around 9 or 9:30 to show me where I could get coffee. When the driver had not shown up at 10 am I panicked as I was scheduled to get on an Oceania Cruise in a few hours. I started going around the neighborhood asking for people I could pay to take me to the airport. Around 10:15 am the son showed up and said I came to tell you that the driver would not be able to come until 10:30 am. Finally the driver showed up at 10:30 am and said he had told the son to inform me about the late pickup. The driver did get me to the airport in time. I would never stay at Malfranza Apartments again as they have very little to offer. Mary Ann K.

Safe

I understand something’s are beyond one’s control but I stayed there for two nights with no internet until it was my time for check out. That was rather unavailing. No compensations were made for this. Besides almost missing check in and having no internet everything else was good.

My stay was great. Mr Carter was accommodating and very friendly. The property was neat and spacious in a great location. It is near the highway which makes it easy to catch a bus to Bridgetown and is also close to the US Embassy. They also provided a taxi to the embassy at an additional cost.

I love the electric front gate.

Very nice kind co ordinator and peace stay. Please put some cookies to eat at night. Water bottles may stack more

No cookies and enough water

place well kept

Location is good and the view was great.

My stay was too short

Clean, convenient, I felt safe. Proprietor was friendly and accomodating.

The complete facilities and warm host. The neighborhood is very safe! It is near to my conference venue as well. The car park area is just right. The host is always responsive and can help in many ways.

The last night, wifi did not work, though I needed to work. But that's fine. Just a small hiccup

Amazing service! Very comfortable 💯💯.I will return

Location is close to the highway. Lots of vehicle noise

Customer service was top notch. Enjoyed the hospitality received.

Upon check in. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. Throughout my stay, it was quiet and comfortable

The property on a whole was quiet just that there is a highway near it. Everything else was wonderful.

Every quite place and i would recommend it to any of my friends if they decide to come to Barbados

I just spent the night.?I had a great night sleep which I needed. It was very practical to get transportation from Malfranza at the airport on late evening.

Not much

Owner waited until our arrival day to tell us he had booked us elsewhere. He should have refunded our payment and allowed us to find our own place. The beds were foam mattresses with no toppers. The pillows were foam. I'm sure we were put in a cheaper place to make him a profit.

The property was relatively close to the airport and close to food places

The WiFi wasn’t that great

The people were very friendly.

The only problem was that they don't do breakfast.

I had a good stay at the property, but as a solo traveler coming for Cropover this was not the ideal location. It’s not centrally located to events so getting around had to be done primarily by taxi. The owners of the property were very accommodating to my needs though and was courteous when I decided to leave a day earlier for a more central area. This is definitely a peaceful property that if your looking for an accommodation without all the tourists it is a great stay. The only caveat is there is only air conditioning in the bedroom but the outside has a great breeze through when you open the door. Overall I would recommend this to anyone that wants to just relax and getaway for longterm or away from the beach and tourist areas.

The owner is a sweetheart. Our flight was delayed and did not arrive until about 1 am. We got to the apt about 2am and he was at our disposal like it was afternoon. We also had to stay an extra night and although his place was fully booked, he make arrangements for us to go somewhere else. I would highly recommend it.

Even though it is close to a highway it wasn't loud and obnoxious. I would prefer to have had my tv in the room though.

Location

The time taken to access the property No TV in bedroom

Because it is located so close to the highway, there was the constant noise of traffic but it wasn't overwhelming.

The bathroom towels should have been white. Towels are known to carry bacteria. White ensures bleaching and other sanitary precautions.

10 /10 everything

Malfranza stay was amazing, host was extremely welcoming ,friendly and genuine. 2 thumbs up

Taxi Service available

Close to highway! Hedge could soften the traffic noise

As an international traveller I would like to have had some tea, coffee and milk available. The nearest shopping is over a km away up a bust 4 lane motorway without a footpath.

Greg was very accomodating and helpful. He made us feel super welcome and safe. The apartment was super clean, had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here next time we are in Barbados!

I was staying for just 1 night before flying home. I was made to feel extremely welcome by the hosts and their charming granddaughter. The apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable with all the facilities you'd need. I really liked the information board in the hallway so no questions went unanswered.

Proprietor Greg was beyond accommodating and exceptionally nice. Property is a bit rustic but clean. A/C only in bedroom but worked well. Bed was queen sized. A few eateries within walking distance. Great for an overnight stay.

Space was plentiful... Place was clean.. And smelled clean as well.

Didn’t receive breakfast.

What I didn’t like was I reached the apartment late and my flight was 4.25 pm the next day and had to check out at 11am . Had to sit and wait at the airport for hours where as I would of liked to pay a little extra until closer to my flight.

Very great service advise anyone to book quite and comfortable

Mr Carter is very polite and helpful

The hospitality is excellent

The property was clean management was efficient and ready to listen and take care of any problem i really enjoyed my stay

I wish i was notified or informed that i had to bring water. I selpt thirsty all night without water. And the microwave power was not turning on. I will ask this morning. Everything else was great 👍. I loved my night 🌙 ❤

This property is excellent in that it is quite self sufficient. Having hot water and air conditioning was a plus. I prepared breakfast and lunch most days during my stay. Gregory offers top notch transportation services as well which facilitated my business appointments. He is knowledgeable about what goes on on the island. He was able to take me to my appointments without me having to provide an address and even had numbers to call when I requested assistance. I would definitely recommend Malfranza to family and friends. Who doesn’t like a one-stop shop; accommodations and transportation rolled into one? Kudos Gregory!

Very clean property, owners are very nice and respond timely to any queries. They have their own taxi service and that certainly helps. I couldn't get a taxi in the morning, so Greg immediately got ready to drop me off. Property is close to the Mall and Ross University. I stayed for one night only and sent an email after checkout mentioning about low hot water pressure in the shower. Greg responded the following day and told me that he already has called a plumber to fix that. I would recommend the property.

Place was very clean and had amenities..Host was very welcoming and taxi service was wddicient.

Very clean, convenient and well run. I will stay here again

The owner was most accommodating. He took care of any issues very promptly and completely. Went above and beyond. Provided things such as laundry soap for my one load of wash. Also ran a shuttle/taxi service on my schedule.

Great stay with a very friendly and welcoming host. Picked up from the airport and dropped at apartment. Had everything I required for my 1 night stay. Got given a ride the next day as well. Greg was on hand to answer any questions or queries I had. Only downside was the noise from the road. But overall a great stay and would definitely stay again!

Very friendly and helpful host. Easy access to town.

Hello! Thank you very much, it was excellent

Very noisy right next to a very busy street so bring ear plugs if you want to sleep properly

Customer service is wonderful. This hotel provides all of the basic needs for a very reasonable price. Very quiet, clean and normal Barbados neighborhood.

The location, cleanliness, the staff everything was right on point. Will stay there every time I visit Barbados.

The owners went above and beyond. They picked us up from the airport from a late flight, drove us to our destination the next day, offered to take us to the grocery, and were overall just very pleasant and kind people. We would stay there again!

Ideal location as we stayed there before going on a cruise. Our host was very accommodating, we did not have a car so he took us wherever we needed to go and the price was very reasonable.
