La Bambina

"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."

"The location was perfect, easily accessible and close to Valletta and quiet."

"Nothing major to dislike."

"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"

"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"

"Beautiful location, just a short ferry (or gondola) ride over to Valletta. Clean and welcoming place."

"Aucun."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It was in a perfect location beside restaurants, buses, shops and local ferry"

"N/a"

"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"
