Guest Reviews

• Anynous (7/5): -
• Lena (8/5): Ein entspannter Aufenthalt, wir würden wieder kommen! - Das Apartment ist in einer guten Lage und hat eine schöne Inneneinrichtung. Es gibt gute Cafés in der Nähe mit Blick auf den Hafen. Die Busverbindung an Valletta und Umgebung sind ebenfalls gut. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Es ist etwas feucht und klamm im Apartment, was wahrscheinlich der Jahreszeit und der schlechten Isolierung im Apartment verschuldet ist. Im Sommer könnte das anders sein, im Frühjahr sorgt das aber leider für einen leicht muffigen Geruch und dass Handtücher nicht richtig trocken werden.
• Hanna (1/5): - The property itself was beautiful and in a convenient location but we wish that the environment was more habitable in order to have a comfortable stay. Very humid inside, damp sheets, visible mold on kitchen utensils and odor of mold all over the first and second floor. Fortunately, the owner was understanding allowed us to cancel the booking immediately after we entered the hotel since my partner has asthma and although the property was pretty it was a major health concern for us to stay. We got a partial refund and not a full one.
• Rob (7/5): - Great location with easy airport & ferry links Plenty of excellent places to eat not as busy as other places Steps stairs & more steps
• Joseph (8/5): With a few changes, could be one of the best apartments in the area - The location, the style of the property The bed, the property needs a good extractor fan in the bathroom to make it less damp, light bulbs replacing, a few more towels (they don’t dry due to the damp)
• Selim (2/5): - Die Lage ist sehr gut und auch die Wohnung an sich ist schön. Während meines Aufenthalts in der Wohnung gab es mehrere Punkte, die mir leider nicht gefallen haben. Zunächst war die Sauberkeit nicht auf dem erwarteten Niveau. In einigen Bereichen wirkte die Wohnung nicht gründlich gereinigt, was den ersten Eindruck deutlich negativ beeinflusst hat. Zudem war es in der Wohnung extrem feucht und kalt, was dazu führte dass unsere Kleider feucht wurden und unsere Tücher nicht mehr trocknen konnten. Der Boden war nach 2 Tagen voll mit einer weissen Substanz die sich durch die hohe Feuchtigkeit gebildet hatte. Ein weiterer Punkt war die Ausstattung. Bestimmte Dinge, die in der Beschreibung angegeben waren, haben gefehlt oder haben nicht richtig funktioniert. Zum Beispiel der Balkon der nicht zu gebrauchen war, da ein grosses Klimagerät darauf verbaut ist. Das „Bett“ war ein Sofa zum ausziehen und wurde auch nicht so im Inserat vermerkt. Das war enttäuschend, da ich mich auf diese Angaben verlassen habe. Auch die Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber war teilweise schwierig, da Antworten entweder verspätet oder unklar waren. Zudem war die Einsicht leider nicht vorhanden. Das hat die Situation zusätzlich erschwert.
• Pamela (3/5): Malta is a great place to visit. This property is in an excellent position. - This could be a stunning property. The position is good. The view towards the harbour is great. All facilities really close. Ferry/gondola to Valletta a 15 minute walk, bus stop to Valletta a couple of minutes. Local stores a couple of minutes. Between Autumn and late spring this house is damp, very damp. There are 2 dehumidifier’s which had to be on full time for 48 hours upon arrival to get rid of the smell and the moisture. The address is NOT 19 but 13. The property had not been prepared for our stay. The windows were dirty, the outside was covered in weeds. The wine glass reported missing in Oct 2025 as at 9 March 2026 still hadn’t been replaced. The sockets reported not working still don’t. I had communication with the owner concerning the damp and was advised the dehumidifiers were on a timer - as they weren’t on this could not have been the case. Additionally they stated that ‘from October till now I assure you we bought plenty of cutlery. Will check with the housekeeper what happens with guest that stayed there last.’ From the pictures. I swept under the bed and was disgusted by how much dirt was there. This hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Also under the sofa was dirty, it was too heavy for me to move to clean. The wardrobe left door, 2 of the 3 hinges not working. The shower curtain was mouldy, needs to be treated and washed regularly. A side plate was chipped and needs to be replaced. I weeded out front and washed the widows, it really didn’t take long but any housekeeper could clearly see this. The bed, a sofa bed is not an ideal option but as guests only stay short term it is a solution of sorts. It would benefit from a mattress topper. The box of salt was left in the cupboard. The box was wet, I meant to throw it out-why didn’t the housekeeper? This place is clearly a ‘cash cow’ as most of us will not go back so why should the owner make improvements? I write this as a landlord of a property in the UK. I would be horrified if my property was as poorly presented as this.
• Zsolt (10/5): Fantastic stay in Senglea - The location was perfect, easily accessible and close to Valletta and quiet. Nothing major to dislike.
• paul (6/5): Lovely and quiet house but needs some more comfortable furniture! - Hot showers Minimalist and peaceful. The bed is very uncomfortable... Change the sofa bed into a real bed and your have a very comfortable house for people to stay and enjoy! Also some chairs in the bedroom would be an easy fix to aid comfort!
• Magda (10/5): Fantastyczny tydzień - Świetna lokalizacja, mieszkanko w klasycznej lokalnej starej kamienicy daje pojęcie o realiach życia w tej okolicy. Wszystko komfortowe. Ze względu na stronę schody nie nadaje się dla osób z ograniczeniami ruchowymi. Ja osobiście byłam zachwycona :)
• jordi (7/5): Todo bien excepto pequeños detalles (colgador para las toallas, falta de cafetera) y cama incómoda. - ubicación, el apartamento en si es agradable. La cama es una sofá-cama muy justo de ancho para 2 personas. Pero lo peor es el colchón que es muy fino y se hunde en el centro, bastante incómodo.
• Kristina (10/5): - Puiki lokacija. Galėtų būti plaukų džiovintuvas :)
• Dorothea (3/5): -
• Malgo (7/5): Odrobina prawdziwej Malty - Lokalizacja idealna do poczucia klimatu Malty od strony mniej turystycznej. Trzy kondygnacje połączone kamiennymi schodkami. Kuchnia wyposażona, przestronna łazienka.Klimatyzacja. Kilka kroków od mariny, piękny widok na Birgu. Wiele małych sklepików, mieszkańcy mili i pomocni.Miejsce dobrze skomunikowane z Valletta i innymi miejscówkami. Możliwość popłynięcia promem do stolicy. Łóżko w pokoju to rozkładana, wąska sofa. Ma po bokach przerwy z metalowym szkieletem, podczas snu człowiek się obija co nie jest komfortowe. Brakuje wieszaków na kurtki i na ręczniki w łazience. O tej porze jest duża wilgotność, nic nie schnie, ale o tym wiedzieliśmy wcześniej więc to nie wada. Można sobie poradzić za pomocą żelazka ☺️.
• KERAN JAMES (8/5): great location - the location was superb in a beautiful and historic part of the city and the flat small but very pleasant the bed could have been oriented better so you didn't have to squezze past it to get to the balcony
• Newell (10/5): -
• Alvaro (10/5): -
• Pauline (4/5): - The only thing I did like was the inside of house was lovely and cool . Kitchen sockets didn't work. Bed was a sofa my daughter and I couldn't sleep on bed sofa . Ants every where . I told staff about sockets but nothing done . Apart from the high stools in kitchen we couldn't get on them to high we had no where to sit . We had to book another hotel on other side of island on first day over 400 euros . Not disabled friendly .it could definitely use fold away chairs to sit outside
• Jerome (10/5): C’était agréable - L’emplacement Rien
• Kinga (10/5): -
• Carl EHV (5/5): Prachtige locatie , appartement valt tegen. - De locatie was super, Rustige locatie op 50 meter van de prachtige havenkant met mooie uitzichten ,restaurantjes ,barretjes en terrassen. Kleine boodschappen om de hoek. Bushalte op 100 meter . Ferry naar Valletta op 10 min. lopen. De airco in het appartement werkt zeer goed. Het Appartement is verdeelt over 3 verdiepingen. Je komt binnen in de keuken (er was geen theedoek en maar 1 wijnglas), Er hangt een barbladje (ca 60x60cm) aan de muur waar 2 hoge krukken bij staan (tafeltje met 2 stoelen zou fijn zijn geweest). We misten ook een kapstok .. Vanuit de keuken trapgat naar beneden (zonder trapleuning) voor de moderne ruime complete badkamer (deze was echter niet schoon; veel vuil in hoekjes en kieren. En de laden van het wastafelmeubel waren erg gammel.) En wederom niets om je handdoek / kleding aan te hangen. Ook waren er maar 3 badhandoeken voor 2 personen / 8 dagen. Vanuit de keuken is er een trap (wederom zonder leuning) naar de slaapkamer boven ,met genoeg kastruimte en goede airco.. Het zeer oncomfortabele Bed-bank was Queensize en door de kromme vloer lag het "te dunne matras" niet vlak. In het gehele appartement bladdert de verf van de muren ; Vocht, dat was waarschijnlijk ook de reden dat de tv nogal eens haperde. (we hebben de tv daarom maar niet gebruikt). Ook werkten enkele stopcontacten en de lichtschakelaars bij de bed-bank niet. We wilden het kluisje gebruiken maar er was geen handleiding. We hebben de host kunnen bereiken , maar het gebrek aan badhanddoeken en theedoek werd niet opgelost. (Dat lag volgens de host aan de poetsvrouw , die zou het vergeten zijn)
• Rafaela (8/5): - - ruhige Lage, aber trotzdem mit der Fähre sehr schnell in Valetta - sehr nette Gastgeberin, die innerhalb von wenigen Minuten geantwortet hat - die Küchenausstattung war eher überschaubar, für eine Woche aber ausreichend - das (Sofa-)Bett ist zwar komfortabel, aber für zwei Personen ziemlich klein
• Olha (8/5): -
• Sam (8/5): - Beautiful location, just a short ferry (or gondola) ride over to Valletta. Clean and welcoming place.
• Rosalia (3/5): -
• Janine (9/5): Superb - We loved staying in Sengelea away from the crowds, near the water and waterfront restaurants. The apartment had all we needed. The bed is a sofa bed but we found it comfortable.
• Athena2025 (9/5): Magical stay in a clean, fully equipped house with an ideal location! - The house is absolutely stunning. It’s located in the charming town of Senglea, which is small but full of character. With just a short 20-minute walk, you can easily cross the bridge and reach Birgu, and from there, take a boat to Valletta, which takes only a few minutes. There’s also a bus stop just 3 minutes from the house, where you can catch bus number 1 (Isla) that will take you to Valletta in about half an hour. In short, it’s easy to get to the “Three Cities,” as the locals call them. The neighborhood is peaceful and offers a beautiful view of the harbor and the clock tower on the opposite side. It’s close to two stunning Catholic churches and has a variety of small convenience stores nearby. As for the house, it’s exactly as shown in the pictures! When we arrived, we picked up the keys from a locker, and the place was spotless. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric stove, fridge, kettle, cooking utensils, some snacks, coffee, and sugar. The apartment also had plenty of towels, pillows, bed linens, an iron, and a hairdryer. A note: Malta uses British-style plugs, but don’t worry – the house provides special adapters, so you can charge your phone easily, no matter where you’re from. The only downside is the humidity in the house. But the host had thought ahead and made sure there was either air conditioning or a dehumidifier in every room to keep things comfortable. The main issue, however, was the bed. It’s a sofa bed that opens up, but it’s too hard and a bit narrow for two people. That’s the one thing I’d change about the accommodation. Overall, our stay at La Bambina was wonderful, and we’ve already recommended it to friends who are planning to visit Malta! The hard and narrow sofa bed
• Veronique (7/5): Good - Quiet area within walking distance to the bus and ferry to Valetta. Beautiful view of the marina from the flat. Lovely flat, but spread across 3 levels. Not suitable for people with mobility issues. No washing machine.
• Vanessa (7/5): Good -
• Matthew (9/5): Gorgeous place to stay in the best location possible - Excellent location Excellent communication Wonderfully presented property Gorgeous bathroom Traditional Maltese apartment Close to ferry and restaurants Lovely view from the balcony. Lots of storage Towels Super comfy pillows Additional bedding The bed is a sofa bed. I understand the choice due to the multi functionality however personally I feel the room would benefit from a an actually bed as I don't imagine many people will want to be sitting watching TV when your in such a lovely country.
• Marko (10/5): Exceptional - This is actually a house, with the typical Maltese architecture that adds to the overall experience. The accommodation is truly lovely and in a fantastic location. The ferry to Valletta is close by, as well as beautiful, traditional Maltese streets in the surrounding area. The host was excellent, communication was smooth, and check-in was very easy, with instructions provided for key collection, so there’s no need for direct contact with the host, which is especially convenient for late arrivals. Also, the terrace offers a lovely view of the sea. I would highly recommend this accommodation! There aren’t any real downsides, just a small suggestion that could improve the experience. It seems the router is upstairs, so the internet signal is a bit weaker on the ground floor. Also, perhaps adding an armchair or a small couch on the ground floor could increase comfort.
• Zaxa (9/5): Superb -
• Noel (10/5): Home from home - It was in a perfect location beside restaurants, buses, shops and local ferry N/a
• Elissa (9/5): Superb -
• Nikolaos (8/5): Very good -
• Apostolos (8/5): A little treasure in Senglea - A nice place, in a nice location, it gives you the Maltese vibes. Traditional but modern as well! The bed sofa upstairs was not comfortable
• Ясен (4/5): We were disappointed to find that there was no actual bed, only an adjustable small sofa which was n - Great location Unfortunately, our stay at this Airbnb fell short of our expectations. We were disappointed to find that there was no actual bed, only an adjustable small sofa which was not suitable or comfortable for a couple. Additionally, the space lacked the cozy atmosphere we were hoping for. Overall, our experience was not what we had hoped for. Great location, indeed.
• Isak (9/5): Superb - Great location, easy to find, amazing view from the balcony, a small kitchen I did not use on my short stay but would be a lovely spot to be for a few days and cook your own meals. On a beautiful street and steps from the harbor, less than a minute to multiple restaurants and less than ten minutes walk to be in Birgu or catch the ferry to Valletta. Great value for price. Would definitely stay again. Could have been a bit more comfortable but has everything you need and is in such a great location for exploring which is why I came so, really not a problem for me.
