Guest Reviews
- Stanic (10/5): It was really great. The apartment is spacius and the host is amazing. We really liked being there and would come again. - It was very spacious, really comfortable and had everything you would need.
Everything was working perfectly, and the WiFi is strong.
- Kamila (10/5): Great apartment - Great apartment in a fantastic location. We had everything we needed.
- Lidia (10/5): -
- Giulia (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno per girare Malta! - Gli spazi di questo appartamento sono così grandi e ariosi che subito danno sensazione di relax! Ottimi i ventilatori, la pulizia, la gentilezza dell'host e la posizione. È a un passo dal porto dove si possono prendere le barche a 3 euro per arrivare a Valletta, il quartiere è antico e splendido, di notte tranquillo e silenzioso. Ottimi bar e ristoranti vicino. Frigorifero un po' rumoroso, la doccia ha delle perdite
- Iva (10/5): - A really nice appartement, with super location !
I enjoyed to stay there !
- Baranova (10/5): - В номере предусмотрено всё до мелочей.Хозяйка связалась с нами и всё рассказала.Очень хорошее расположение.Нам было предоставлено приветственные вода, кофе и чай Ничего такого
- Ian (9/5): Excellent accommodation in a good location. - The accommodation was exactly as advertised - plenty of room, comfortable and everything that should work did. The location in Birgu was just off the main square and there were a few bars/restaurants close by, plus a couple of food shops for basic needs. Getting to Valletta over the Grand Harbour was straightforward by nearby ferry, small boats and bus. The hostess was pleasant and helpful, and was always available if needed. I liked the relative calm and quietness of Birgu as opposed to Valletta. I would happily stay here again. Nothing
- Ian (9/5): Excellent accommodation in a good location. - See my comments on my previous entry. Nothing.
- Terry (10/5): Stupendo - Ottima posizione, pulito e confortevole, molto gentile e disponibile la Sig.ra. torneremo sicuramente Nulla
- Wojtek (10/5): - Duży i bardzo wygodny apartament. W pełni wyposażona kuchnia, ręczniki i kosmetyki w łazience. Wygodne łóżko. I fantastyczne położenie- kilkanaście metrów od rynku i knajpek, otwartych od rana do późnego wieczora. Kilkaset metrów do przystanku autobusu i do promu do Valetty.
Jesteśmy bardzo zadowoleni z pobytu.
- Udo (8/5): Für bis zu drei Personen angenehmer Aufenthalt in authentischer Altstadt Umgebung. - Zentrale Lage, überwiegend ruhig. Freundlicher Kontakt . Großzügige Räume. Gute Matratze. Wasser, Auswahl an Tee und Kaffee vorhanden. Undichte alte Fenster. Zustand basic, aber völlig ausreichend. Letztendlich fehlt es an nichts.
- Birgit Heidi Glatz (10/5): - Der Raum mit den vielen Fenstern, der für die Gegend typischen Loggia, die tolle Lage und Ausstattung, die Geräumigkeit, die gute Erreichbarkeit von Maria. Es ist alles bestens organisiert.
- ELENI (10/5): - Πολύ άνετο διαμέρισμα, καθαρό, σε βολικό σημείο και όλα όπως φαίνονται στις φωτογραφίες. Εξοπλισμένη κουζίνα με όλα όσα χρειάζονται, μέχρι και λάδι και αλατοπίπερο, πολλές πετσέτες μπάνιου, άνετα κρεβάτια. Περπάτημα 5-10 λεπτών για στάση λεωφορείων (25 λεπτά για Βαλέτα) και για το φέρυ ή τις βαρκούλες (7 λεπτά για Βαλέτα).
Πανέμορφη Μπίργκου με ωραία πλατεία και 3-4 καφέ/εστιατόρια γύρω της, καθώς και μια παστιτζερία με νόστιμα παστίτζι. Τι άλλο να ζητήσει κανείς; Το μόνο που κάπως δε μας βόλεψε, αλλά δεν είναι και τόσο σημαντικό, ήταν ότι το μπάνιο ήταν κρύο σε σχέση με το υπόλοιπο σπίτι.
- Fiona (9/5): -
- Andreas (9/5): Gute Unterkunft - Gute Lage. Tolle Bars in der direkten Umgebung. Mit der Fähre ist man schnell in Valletta. Kann es nur empfehlen. Riesige Wohnung. Mit Waschmaschine Küche und allem was man so braucht. Kommunikation über WhatsApp super.
- Echo (10/5): Centrally located. Clean, comfortable accommodations - Great location, easy check in, clean, exactly as represented in photos. Easy, friendly communication with host. I didn’t cook, but kitchen looked well equipped
- Suzanne (8/5): Spacious Birgu Apartment - Great location in central Birgu, easy to explore or catch the bus and lots of restaurants in the area. Nice having a Maltese balcony also. Host was very helpful. Not much but just to be aware there isn’t a lift so might be more challenging for bigger parties with lots of luggage.

- Ronan (10/5): - Lovely apartment in the centre of Birgu! Perfect for exploring the three cities and Valetta. Right beside Birgus main square and close to ferry and water taxis. We loved spending the day in Valetta and coming home to the more relaxed neighbourhood of Birgu. Apartment is very spacious and was spotless on arrival. Some of the decor and furnishings are dated but we didn't mind as it had everything we needed and was very comfortable to stay in. Would recommend to anyone! WiFi a bit slow for watching Netflix.
- Dmitrii Kamenev (9/5): -

- Deborah (10/5): Esperienza ottima, da ripetere sicuramente. - Abbiamo soggiornato in questo appartamento a Vittoriosa e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La casa è spaziosa, molto pulita e comoda, perfetta sia per un soggiorno breve che più lungo. La cucina è ben attrezzata con tutto il necessario per cucinare, cosa che abbiamo molto apprezzato. L’appartamento è dotato anche di climatizzazione sia nella zona giorno che nella zona notte, dettaglio che rende il soggiorno ancora più confortevole. La posizione è tranquilla e c’è la possibilità di parcheggiare comodamente lungo la via, molto utile a Malta.
Un grande punto a favore è stata la proprietaria: gentilissima e sempre disponibilissima, pronta a venire incontro a ogni esigenza o domanda.
Consigliatissimo a chi vuole godersi Vittoriosa in totale comfort!
We stayed in this apartment in Vittoriosa and had a wonderful experience. The place is spacious, very clean, and comfortable, perfect for both short and longer stays. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need for cooking, which we really appreciated. The apartment also has air conditioning both in the living area and the bedroom, making the stay even more pleasant. The location is quiet and there is the possibility to park conveniently along the street, which is a great advantage in Malta.
A big plus was the host: extremely kind and always available, ready to help with any request or question.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy Vittoriosa in total comfort! Niente.
- Valeria Bogutcaia (10/5): 10 +++++++

- Andrzej (8/5): -
- Ioana (10/5): - Cazare intr-o zona istorica, cu străduțe fermecatoare si obiective turistice in apropiere.
- Αικατερίνη (8/5): -
- Audrey Anne (10/5): Right in the heart of Birgu. Highly recommended - Very central and extremely comfortable
- Soltan (10/5): Pleasant stay - The host is very responsive and understanding. The room is huge and equipped with everything you might possibly need.
- Pascale (9/5): Excellent logement, je recommande ! - Appartement très grand, avec la chambre séparée du séjour ce qui est appréciable. Il est également bien positionné, Birgu a beaucoup de charme et le bus est à 2 minutes à pied et le ferry à une dizaine de minutes à pied.
La propriétaire est présente et intervient rapidement en cas de besoin. Elle est très gentille et arrangeante, merci à vous ! Il y a un compteur électrique, ainsi si l' on ne veut pas trop payer cher, on ne peut pas mettre la climatisation plus de 1-2 h par jour et il fait vite chaud
- Violeta (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is spacious, with two rooms and air conditioning in both. You cannot live in Malta without air conditioning. The location is right in the center of Birgu, with easy access to buses. The host is extremely available at any time It has nothing to do with accommodation, but in Birgu there is not much where to buy anything until 8 o'clock. I found only one small shop.
- Peter (10/5): Excellent Apartment in Great Location - I've stayed here before, so I knew what to expect. It really has everything you need and is a minute's walk to the bus stop taking you into Valletta (or elsewhere if you wish). Maria was a great host, and waited for me in the family hardware shop next door.. The smart TV was too smart for me (as is usually the case). May be worth mentioning that the stairs up to the bedroom might be a little taxing for young children. Nothing really, but a pair of scissors in the kitchen would have been useful, otherwise it was very well equipped.
- Andrija (10/5): Great - Really good flat , good location , clean , all that you need you have it , great host
- Libby (9/5): Superb - Lovely apartment in great location, yes a bit dated but that added to the charm. Close by to some great bars and restaurants and close to the bus stop to get you back out to the airport and Valeeta for connections across the country. Would stay here again
- Liudas (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place. Highly recomended.
- Kimberley (8/5): Spacious apartment in a historic location. - The apartment had everything we needed. Maria was available to answer questions. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood is historical and the nearby restaurants were good.
- Kris (8/5): Very good -
- Martinez (10/5): Exceptional -
- Filippo (8/5): Very good -
- Renata (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, well-equipped, big apartment in the even lovelier Birgu. The hosts are very approachable and helpful.
- Angela (8/5): Beautiful area. Will go back when Candle Fest returns - The location is fantastic for everything that Birgu has to offer. Lots of bars and restaurants, a beautiful harbour and marina and just 10 minutes to Valletta by water taxi.
Couldn’t have asked for a better location in the heart of the town. Completely out of the owner’s control but it was very noisy due to the works being undertaken in the square, just around the corner from the apartment. We had booked specifically to see Candle Fest but found that it was cancelled due to the ongoing work.
Once the work is completed, it will be wonderful.
- Faye (10/5): Great apartment! - This apartment definitely is my favorite accommodation that I have booked the past few years. It is really large, clean, has everything you need and the hosts are super helpful and available if you need something.
It's also close to the bus stop, ferry to Valletta and has multiple nice restaurants around the corner. The neighbourhood is not too busy or noisy, it feels cozy and safe.
There are no real grocery stores closeby, but if you need a lot of groceries and you don't feel like traveling to a shop, you can also order them (or dinner for example) from from the 'Wolt' app and they will deliver it to the apartment :)
I really enjoyed my stay! Construction work started early outside, which woke me up. You can hear everything from outside, so I would recommend some sleeping earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
- Dorax5 (9/5): Superb - Centrally located (Birgu) with all the necessary equipment, very clean, not only the apartment but the hallway and stairs as well, comfortable bathroom and good mattresses, we slept very well. Air conditioning was loud.
- Laura (10/5): Amazing :) - Huge apartment for a great price. Ferry is close by and takes you to Valetta in 5 minutes. The host is available for you when you have any questions. I highly recommend it!
- Konstantinos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mariana (10/5): Perfect - 10 stars! Amazing location, the apartment exceeded our expectations (it’s better than what’s showed in the pictures!) and the host (Natasha) and her sister (Maria) are super kind and helpful.
We did a 1 week trip and this was our favorite stay.
Thank you
- Dalia (9/5): Superb - The apartment are in the old town of Birgu, close to the beautiful view. Everything was comfortable and very clean. Noise early in the moning, because constructions.
- Pia (10/5): amazing - everything from how clean to how spacious it was. it’s in a quiet neighbourhood so we could sleep peacefully and it’s reachable by bus. the host was also very helpful with informations and answered all the questions we had. i would come back to this place so i recommend it. /
- Peter (10/5): Nice Apartment in an Interesting and Quiet Area - This was one of the nicest apartments I have stayed in. There are 2 GELMIF apartments, one on the first floor and one on the second, which I stayed in. There is no elevator, so quite a few stairs to negotiate. Not a problem for me, but it's a consideration. The apartment is very quiet and pretty much as described, with comfortable furniture and a well-equipped kitchen. There is a good bus service about 5 minutes walk away, with services to Valletta and other parts of the island, and there is also a convenient ferry service to Valletta a short walk away. However, car parking in the area looked to be quite difficult. The nearest large supermarket that I could find was a 20-minute bus ride away, but the are a number of smaller shops fairly close by. All in all, I would certainly look at booking GELMIF again, but next time, not in mid-Summer. It was a very hot spell when I stayed here, so it was a pity that the aircon in the bedroom wasn't working. However, the aircon in the living area was fine, so I used the bed in that area. Also the metered electricity arrangement took a little getting used to, as it was unclear how long the provided credit would last with the aircon being used quite a lot. I was concerned that it might run out in the middle of the night and leave me without any power. However, by regularly monitoring the remaining credit, I was able to make the credit last for the 3 days of my stay.
- Rick (10/5): A nice quiet spot for a visit to Malta - We spent a week here in Birgu and loved this handy apartment in a mainly residential area. It's close to Victory Square which has lots of good restaurants, and it was only a short walk downhill to the waterfront where there are lots more, both on the Birgu side, and the Senglea side. The Maritime Museum and the Inquisitors Palace are both close by. The rooms are spacious, and a covered-in balcony was perfect for drying our washing. Our hosts were very helpful and we really enjoyed our first trip to Malta. There were even fireworks on the harbour on our last night! Victory Square was being renovated at the time, so the bus stop had been moved further downhill. As a result, we often took the ferry across to Valetta and back.
- Natan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Location, owner, apartment, view
- Inesa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ivan (10/5): Perfect! I recommend to everyone! -
- Uliana (10/5): Exceptional - The old city area, very quiet and cosy, lets you fill the atmosphere of Malta's history and beautiful architecture There are 3 bed places in one room and one person bed in a separate room - not suitable for 2 families( one person was sleeping apart (
- Galiya (10/5): It’s an exellent home for an amazing vacation - It’s very comfortable, huge and cozy! Whatever I want or need I could find intuitively, like I was living there all my life! There was more than enough towels!
The location is excellent, in the middle of old town, opposite a wonderful church, next to square where you can find a lot restaurants!
The owner is very hospitable and answering all your questions almost immediately!
I wish I could stay here longer next time! Nothing
- Gozolady (10/5): Excellent and will be coming back - What a beautiful spacious apartment. Loads of light and fly screens. Dead central in the town square.
- Jocelyn (8/5): great location. hosts were really helpful and communicated well. check in was smooth and easy. would go back again. - good location and nice and spacious. hot water worked really well. washing machine and equipped kitchen the emergency lights give off quite a strong glare at night which made it hard to fall asleep
- Mark (8/5): Excellent stay -
- Audrey (10/5): Ideal property set in the heart of Birgu - The property is in the very centre of Birgu (Vittoriosa) and it is very near to many cafes and restaurants and also near to public transportation. The location and facilities were excellent.
- Matthias (8/5): Very good -
- Ryan (7/5): Good -
- Michael (10/5): Ten out of ten - Everything perfect for couples perfect for solo travel perfect for small family great location matter of fact exeprional location couldn’t have picked a better spot good view points clos to capital good restaurants near by cafe just under the house docks just around the corner overall very beutiful and wouldn’t hesitate to come again anddd they gave me a free bottle of wine
- Evgenij (10/5): The place that i would book again. - We really enjoyed staying in this apartment. The owner is very friendly and helpful. When we arrived a bottle of wine, a bottle of mineral water were waiting for us. Also there were coffee and tea in the kitchen. All in all a very good experience. Good value for your money. I would book this apartment agian. Something we would like to mention is not exactly bad about the apartment but it could`ve been mentioned in description or during communication before arrival. As we are from EU we did not expect the different sockets, the British type one. But the owner was very helpful when we asked her where could we buy an adapter she just brought one the same day we asked.
Also people should be aware that you have to pay for electricity a seperate charge, i am not sure how much is the included minimum but we did use all of it and were left for a bit with no electricity whatsoever. We informed the owner, she came and topped it up with a 10euro voucher which was charged on us. Again, it would be useful to inform the guests about this kind system with the electricity.
- Poliksineya (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. Apartment is very big and comfortable in the small square in Birgu. The owner Ms Maria it was very nice and helpful! I have in the room bottle of wine, water, and coffee. And the wine was very good. Thank you so much Maria,I hardly recommend this place for holiday in Birgu -Malta.
- Aaron (10/5): Central location. - Very central location. Large apartment Excellent value for money
