Guest Reviews

• Holly (10/5): - Jorge and Dave are excellent hosts and shared lots of dining and activity suggestions. We would stay again.
• Joyce (10/5): - The hosts were fabulous. Couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating. Breakfast was over the top in both quantity and quality. It was a bit embarrasing that we couldn't eat more. It was wonderful. The hosts were quick to grab our bags and helped with suggestions regarding sites and getting around. George even drove us to the subway in our car so that we could avoid paying for parking. I was traveling with a couple of new plants and they kept them in their greenhouse during our stay. The only problem was the location. I didn't feel safe walking around in the evening and it wasn't convenient to the subway system.
• Johnny (10/5): wonderful - Really enjoyed our stay everything was wonderful
• Warwick (10/5): - This B&B is a rare gem. The rooms are brilliant. George is warm and excellent host. Any disadvantage from being a bit out from the centre of town is overcome as George provides daily drop off to and pick up from the local MET station which is a speedy, safe and clean service. Highly recommended.
• KATHLEEN (10/5): - I had a great stay at MALOLO. The house is beautiful inside and Jorge and David are so friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay there again!
• Betty Jo (10/5): - The hosts Chef George, and Dave were exceedingly friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and filling. We could skip lunch every day we stayed because we were fed so well. We would love to come back for another visit and would highly recommend staying with such gracious hosts. No wonder there were so many 5 star reviews.
• Robert (10/5): - George and Dave were excellent and really welcoming. Breakfast was incredible every morning and requests were not a problem. The rooms are really clean and secure. We were in Washington DC for vacation and whenever we decide to go back, we'll definitely be staying at Malolo B&B again.
• Jill (10/5): - We loved our time at this B&B. George and David are wonderful hosts and made us feel so welcome. We have stayed at a lot of different spaces over the last ten years of travels and this one is one of the more memorable. The room was bright, clean and relaxing. We slept well both evenings. The best parts were the delicious breakfasts and fun conversations with our hosts. They are a kind, friendly and engaging couple. We were given lots of great tips and they readily answered our questions about places to eat/visit. The photo shoot at the end was fun. The location provides a quiet spot with easy access to D.C. the surrounding region. We suggest taking scooters around the Capitol at night and visiting the nearby National Arboretum. We would happily stay here again when in the area.
• sandra (8/5): - Jorge was a wonderful host house is adorable
• Kevin (10/5): 1st Bears win in 2023 - Loved staying here. Will only stay here on any future trips. George was an excellent chef and chauffeur. He even stayed up after midnight to pick us up at the metro stop after a football game. Enjoyed our conversations with Dave & George. They were very helpful & knowledgeable with transportation & things to do in the area. It was nice waking up to the smell of a delicious breakfast every morning. Would recommend staying here 100%.
• gregory (10/5): - This was my first bed in breakfast. When I go back to Washington an excellent place to stay up. I would recommend it to anybody if I could give him 10 stars. I'd give him 10 stars.
• Loren (10/5): - This was our first time staying at a B&B. I was super impressed. This place was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were super friendly and made you feel like you were at your own home. Very quiet at night and the rooms were super nice. Didn’t take long to fall asleep and stay asleep. The bed was very comfortable. (At least myself and my husband felt comfortable). Chef George was so nice to talk to. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and he was helpful when we had questions about sightseeing and where to go. Really, my list of good things to say could keep going and going. I have nothing negative to say. I will definitely recommend and come back again. Thank you both for making my D.C trip enjoyable. Michelle and Kurt
• kathleen (10/5): A gem in a DC neighborhood - This was our first Bed and Breakfast stay and it did not disappoint. In fact, it may have spoiled us for future B&Bs. The house is in the middle of the neighborhood. The neighbors were friendly and we felt comfortable there. The proprietors, George and Dave, made us feel like we were family. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and just what we needed for our first visit to DC. The breakfasts were delicious!! The bed was so comfortable that we didn't want to get up and leave each day!! George was a wonderful resource on how to navigate the City. This place is a gem and we can't wait to get back there!!
• ANDREA (10/5): - If you are ever in the DC area I highly recommend staying at Malolo Bed and Breakfast! Chef Jorge and David were ao welcoming and friendly. They gave us tons of idea of things to do in the area (which we will definitely be back to do). The breakfast Jorge cooked for us each morning was plentiful and delicious! We had fun conversations and a lot of laughs with them. The room was colorful and decorated so nicely- felt like we were somewhere other than DC. The bed was so comfy too! We will be back for sure!
• Julie (10/5): - Had an amazing experience, breakfast was awesome both George and Dave were both very hospitable!
• Stacey (10/5): - This is such a beautiful bed and beautiful!!! The decor was breathtaking and the room I stayed in was so gorgeous!! Very clean !! I loved it
• Nigel (10/5): - We had never stay at a Bed and Breakfast in the US before Malolo and what a wonderful surprise! George and David provided exceptional hospitality from when we arrived until the very end of our stay. Our room was beautifully decorated and cleaned spotless everyday. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and included a nice variety of dishes. David and George created a familial atmosphere filled with lively and fun conversation as well as insider’s knowledge about the city and helpful tips on how to navigate it. We associate a lot of our wonderful memories of DC with our stay at Malolo and we look forward to go back for our next trip!! Nigel and Chiara
• JUANITA (10/5): Highly recommend - It was excellent, first time staying at an B&B and it’s going to be hard to compare future stays to this once, they set a high standard. Breakfast was delicious every morning, my complements to Chef George.👍 Very knowledgeable about the area (Washington DC) and could even tell you what buses to catch. Great host with George and David!! If you ever go to Washington DC, I would recommend Malolo B&B over any hotel in the area.
• Heike (10/5): - The nicest hosts, with real enthusiasm for guests and being helpful. Thanks George and David!
• David (10/5): Amazing Bed and Breakfast in D.C. - We had a great time visiting D.C. for the weekend. Staying at Malolo was a big part of that. We were treated like family the whole time. The hosts were super friendly and went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again if we take another trip to D.C. We will also be recommending them to our friends.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Happy Wife... Happy Life! - Great Experience! My Wife and I Went For Our Anniversary and It Was A Great Choice! The Hosts We're Welcoming, Kind Humourous and Lots Of Other Positive Adjectives. The B&B Was Clean and The Breakfast Was Amazing Every Morning. And...They Made My Wife Happy Which Worked For Me! "Happy Wife, Happy Life." So Thanks Fellas! Lol.
• tami (10/5): - We just loved our stay with Jorge and David. The room was lovely, close to the metro since I didn't want to rent a car. Jorge is an amazing cook. Both are wonderful hosts and make you feel like family!! I couldn't ask for a nicer stay at a 5 star hotel, which I have done many times, but will come back to Malolo Bed and Breakfast when I'm in the DC area again. Thank you Jorge and David for everything !!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Good and personable host with a lot of flexibility.
• L. (2/5): - I would never recommend this place. The location is terrible and they are not flexible at all.
• IlPadrino (10/5): - The owners were very personable and professional. They gave us awesome advice re: sightseeing and transportation options for Washington DC. The breakfast each day was awesome. My wife and I were VERY pleased with the comfort and decor of our room.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful stay! David and Jorge are great hosts - we felt welcomed and valued while we were there. This will absolutely be my go-to location for trips to the DC area!
• jeannette (8/5): Nice place - Everything was amazing very helpful, kind, clean And the breakfast so delicious. I will came back next time because I liked so much this place.
• Mary (10/5): DC’s International Treasure of Places to Stay - The 5-star reviews were correct! Glad we found this hidden treasure in the DC area! Very close to Metro service offering free shuttle to transportation.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - とっても良かったです！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The service and hospitality provided by the hosts is unmatched. The sleeping facilities, room service breakfast are all excellent. The location is a little iffy, but the hose provide to and fro shuttle service to the subway. All in all, wonderful facility and hostd
• Deron (10/5): - The house and the decor were both wonderful! This made the stay very welcoming and enjoyable!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Jorge and David are very hospitable. Jorge is a great chief and breakfast is great. They were so friendly and wanted to help and make our trip better in any way they could.
• Cindy (10/5): Spacious, beautiful, immaculate and delicious - We were so happy with Jorge and David at this beautiful, spacious, well-appointed and comfortable B & B. As other reviewers have mentioned, Jorge is an amazing cook, and you feel like old friends with both hosts immediately. Their home is immaculate updated and warm. We felt completely comfortable and safe in the neighborhood. It is an urban setting, not in the heart of town, but very easy to get around and David and Jorge will even drive you to the metro. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a wonderful Bed & Breakfast stay. The interior of the house and rooms have a Polynesian theme. The room we stayed in was huge and had plenty of closet space, internet TV and Alexia. The bathroom was very modern and had a large shower. The breakfast every morning was awesome! Chef George even makes eggs to order and can cater to individual dietary needs. They provided Metro cards and explained how to use the Metro system and provided transportation to and from the nearest Metro station. They also provided a promotional discount code to use with Uber. The host were very knowledgeable for information on sightseeing and dining options in DC. We enjoyed their company more then visiting the sights in the city. Overall and excellent stay and nothing negative to comment about Malolo Bed & Breakfast. We will definitely stay with them again in the future!
• McIver (10/5): - They were very nice and provisional. Expedia asked me to add a bit more to the review but I don'i have anything else to say other than the place is great! Thanks Expedia. Are we done now!?
• Dennis (10/5): Super tolles B&B mit tollen Gastgebern - Wir haben schon in vielen B&B´s übernachtet, aber das Malolo war das bisher mit Abstand beste B&B in dem wir bisher waren. Das gesamte B&B ist toll eingerichtet und verbreitet sofort eine Wohlfühlatmosspäre, unser Zimmer war riesig, super ausgestattet und die Betten waren ein Traum. Die beiden Gastgeber George und David sind sehr nette und herzliche Menschen und immer da, wenn man etwas braucht. Sehr genossen haben wir die netten und anregenden Unterhaltungen am morgendlichen Frühstückstisch, wo wir gemeinsam mit unseren Gastgebern und den anderen Gästen gefrühstückt haben. Das Frühstück selbst wird von George zubereitet und es ist einfach nur großartig. Die Auswahl ist riesig und alles hat einfach fantastisch geschemckt, besser geht es nicht. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Serviceleistungen, die George und David kostenfrei anbieten. So fahren sie einen morgens zur nahegelegenen Metrostation und holen einen dort auch Abends auf Wunsch wieder ab, so dass man diesen Weg nicht laufen muss. Damit man Sie immer erreichen kann, geben Sie ihren Gästen kostenfrei ein Telefon mit und damit das Metro-Fahren komfortabler wird, haben Sie für jeden Gast elektronische Metrokarten, die man dann schnell und einfach selbst mit dem benötigten Betrag aufladen kann, einfacher gehts nichts. Alles in allem war es ein perfekter Aufenthalt und wir würden jedem empfehlen, für einen Aufenthalt in Washington das Malolo zu buchen.
• Pauline (10/5): - My husband and I prefer to stay at B&B's over hotels.The Malolo Bed and Breakfast was hands down one of the best! From the initial warm welcome to the friendly farewell our stay here was wonderful. Dave and chef George go above and beyond. They provided us with metro cards to use during our stay (which you load at the terminal.) We were dropped off at the metro station and picked up in the evening at no extra cost. They also gave us some great tips for our first visit to DC to save time and avoid burnout. After a lot of walking around DC we came back to a clean room with a firm, comfortable king size bed, and plenty of hot water in the bathroom for a nice soak or shower after the days exercise.. Each morning we awoke to a delicious meal provided by chef George. There was always a hot cooked meal and plenty of fresh fruit, Greek yogurt with all the toppings, cold cuts and cheeses. They also provide cereal or your choice of toasts if that is more to your liking. And there was lots of interesting banter around the breakfast table. If you're looking for a great place to stay during your visit to DC look no further. I highly recommend staying at the Malolo Bed and Breakfast you wont regret it. Hubby and I will definitely be going back.
• Wolfgang (10/5): - in ruhiger Vorortlage, aber bestens an Metro angebunden. Transfer von und zur U-Bahn Station bestens organisiert
• Linda/Dave (10/5): - The property was old, but updated with the latest technology, fixtures & finishes. Bedding was comfortable, as was the bath. The breakfast was superb! What a nice change from the pre-made eggs & waffles at many "free breakfast" properties. The service was good - and the conversation at breakfast refreshingly different.
• Terri (10/5): - The food was amazing! The hosts are wonderful people, willing to help you plan your day. They have expert information on all means of transportation around the DC area and will take you and pick you up at the nearest metro station at your convenience! This was a totally great experience for us and we highly recommend Malolo Bead and Breakfast!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hotel muy confortable, tranquilo para dormir bien por las noches!!
• Rosanne (10/5): - Lovely home, clean and comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts, friendly hosts.
• William (10/5): Malolo is amazing - What a wonderful place to spend a few days in on your trip to Washington. Rooms are spacious and the hosts are just super nice people. At breakfast there is a great choice both hot and cold. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
• C.D (8/5): Delightful Bed and Breakfast - I stayed at Malolo Bed and Breakfast during a weekend trip to D.C where I was attending an event at RFK stadium. I choose Malolo because I was looking for something other than the typical hotel experience. This Bed and Breakfast had great food and was very clean. Both George and Dave were talkative, friendly and warm. They provided top notch hospitality. The location was very close to the stadium and a short drive to other local activities. It's definitely a place I look forward to staying at when visiting the DC area again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Homey and comfy - Unique homey experience. Quiet, clean and very friendly stuff. Excellent breakfast included. The best Bed and Breakfast I have been at. Absolutely a jewel.
• william (10/5): A rose in the thorns - When driving through the neighborhood to the B&B we were a bit nervous, but our fears were put to rest after meeting the hosts and talking to one of the guests. We're glad we stayed! The hosts were awesome, the home and our room were superb and the breakfast spread was outstanding. The host even takes you back and forth to the Metro station (about 3 minutes away), which we highly recommend using when going into DC. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent hospitality - We loved our stay in this fabulous bed and breakfast. George and Dave were so welcoming and friendly. The food was top notch but the conversation and open hospitality is what put this place over the top. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in D.C.
• Kitty (10/5): Polynesan hide away in the big city. - Wonderful and helpful hosts. Attractive home, well decorated,clean, very comfortable. First rste property in an urban setting. Get beyond neighborhood,, safe and well located to Metro. Food was ehcellent. And hosts real gentlemen. Would return in a minute.
• Kent (8/5): great guys and food a little out of the way - we enjoyed the hosts and food. chef George is very good. it was a little out of the way if you're driving around dc. has good access to metro and the boys will take you to the metro stop and pick you up, which I recommend you do.
• Brian (8/5): You will not be disappointed - As someone who does not travel to the D.C. area often - not going to lie, was VERY concerned when driving through the surrounding area to this place. But... this place is AWESOME. The owners were bend-over-backwards accommodating. It is definitely a "diamond in the rough". They even drove us to and from the metro stop (5 min. drive) as needed. The breakfast was phenomenal. Were it not for the fact that there is quite literally next to nothing close by to walk to (restaurants/bars/attractions) I would give it 5 stars plus. But it was truly just a very minor inconvenience to jump on the metro and ride into D.C.
• Ngoc Mai (10/5): Amazing service and place! Highly Recommend - Clean place, great service, delicious food - the best place and value in Washington DC!
• Mikhail (10/5): Great - Beautiful place
