Location and view were great
The dishwasher wasn’t fixed to the units so when you
Loads the bottom shelf the dishwasher fell over out of the unit nearly causing an injury to one of our children
There is a coffee machine in the kitchen which has a continental 2 pin plug fitted but the sockets are 3 pin british sockets so it could be used . The ensuite bath was so stained we didn’t use it . The property advertised advertises a bbq we went to use it to find all the jets were so corroded it didn’t work
The air conditioning in the lounge and ensuite bed room leaked so we woke up every morning to puddles of water in the rooms ( lounge and main bed room)
There are 3 sun loungers one of which is broken .
One of the bed rooms bed side lamps has a 2 pin plug which doesn’t fit in the 3 pin socket so you have no bed side light
The shower is very dirty with mould around the base of the shower tray . All of the sinks or showers drains are blocked and don’t drain readily by the time you finish your shower the water is all most flowing over the top of the shower tray and onto the floor
The property is in a great location with great views but is looking very tired inside . There are lots of small things wrong . It is advertised as 6 persons but only 5 chairs outside for dining . The hot tub is far too hot to be used during the day and there were no treatment tablets do ensure water quality in it .
If you enjoy cooking the are 2 pans of a suitable size to cook for more than 2 people and no sharpie knives. The plastic chopping board is very old and stained

Die Lage
Billige Ausstattung,einfach eingerichtet die Dusche war einfach nur dreckig…….Preis Leistung passt überhaupt nicht,von wegen Parkettboden altes Laminat was schon auf geht,eine Tür die man nicht abschließen kann ,ich werde die Wohnung nicht weiter empfehlen.

Communication with the host worked well and the location is central. The condition of the apartment did not exactly meet the expectations (photos). There's only one common bathroom and one for the main bedroom, which was definitely not enough for 8 people. Some of the bed sheets smelled a little fusty. For less people on leisure trip this can be a good apartment.

I loved how close it was to everything if you wanna be in that kind of area. The pork shop across the street was amazing.
The master bedroom beds could have been a lot better. They were not very comfortable.

The location was absolute perfect. The view from the balcony was amazing. The appartment was really big.
The hygiëne of this appartment was bad, especially the jacuzzi. The water was really dirty with white pieces in it.. also the floor of the appartment was dirty.

The location was great - near to the port, restaurants and groceries.
The apartment looks nice, is spacious and clean.
I liked the staff dealing with our problems - they replied fast, to the point and were always helpful.
The turnaround time for our issues have been quite short which was appreciated.
Hot tub was a very nice addition.
We would be happy to see the instructions and schedule for thrash pick-up - since we were from abroad we didnt know how it works in Malta.
Also some mop/vacuum cleaner would be nice to be available in the apartment to stear the dirt which we brought/made.

Fantastic location, with a great view.
The jacuzzi was not really available after it short circuited the whole apartment. The beds were also very uncomfortable.

Location was central and great, near Sliema ferry. Very spacious and large apartment. Great views!
The wifi was broken and did not have wifi for almost three days, and when sorted out, still didn't reach one of the bedrooms. Received different information on garbage collection pasted in apartment vs on the lift and info given through message. They seemed strict with the garbage sorting but did not provide plastics for organic waste and glass. The key fob provided did not work and needed to punch the long access code to enter every time. Also did not provide sufficient information on requested excursions that they themselves initially offered.

spacious, good cooking facilities, easy check in, great location
hot tub only big enough for 2 people, not very warm in the hot tub, the en-suite bathroom wasn’t very clean with a bad smell
4.0
The location was excellent lots going on right outside the property restaurants,shops,boat & bus tours. The apartment was very comfortable with a great view.
We were very pleased with the apartment but there were a few things that would have been beneficial such as a mirror in each bedroom, a shower tidy for your shampoo & soap chopping boards in the kitchen & some place mats & coasters.
There seemed to be quite a lot of rubbish that piled up on the pavement outside the apartment block.

Very good position. Close to the bus station and Ferry. Amazing sea view.
Verry easy communication with the staff.
We weren't able to use the jacuzzi. Althought it was prepared, everytime we tried to heat it, the power went off and we had to reinitiate it from the panel at ground floor.

good location with view over the harbor
We’ve been facing problems with electricity from the day we’ve arrived.
We’ve discussed via WhatsApp multiple times.
The issue wasn’t fixed at all.
The electricity is going off time to time and we have to go downstairs to reset the central panel.
was unpleasant.
Another problem that I’ve communicated is that the jacuzzi is not heating up the water so it’s impossible to use it. The jacuzzi feature of the apartment was the only reason for which we’ve chosen this property.
the small bathroom needs improvements asap.
dirty walls
disappointed

The view was amazing our granddaughter and us loved looking out on the balcony watching boats and world go by would definitely book this room again the jacuzzi was fab my granddaughter loved it .
No one to communicate with. Only an emergency number out of hours if something went wrong. When we got there the electrics kept tripping the whole apartment in darkness our granddaughter who is 19 months was scared and crying it came on and off all week emergency man said it was because of the storm but that was the first day. Our kettle blew so we were three days without a kettle so again rang emergency number to report it three times when it did come it was left on the front door by an unmanned reception desk anybody could have pinched it. When we didn't have a kettle we had to keep boiling pans of water to make a brew it was a mess about. Then low and behold the gas went. We had been out and bought meat and vegetables for our evening meal which we couldn't have so all 5 of us and our granddaughter had to go out costing 84 euros the owner didn't offer a refund because you can't get hold of them. They were the only 3 negative things that happened but it slightly took shine off holiday especially having to go out and get 84 euros on a meal that we didn't need to get because we had already bought in. Cleaning products consist of cloth small bottle washing up liquid which was enough. A green scouring pad. I like my bleach but thought it would have that bought it in England but left it because it said cleaning products but not a problem. One tea towel which again not a problem we just washed it in a very good washer. Toilets both of them the buttons on the flusher kept sticking in shower room you take top off and touch cistern in ensuite you had to fill a bucket of water up and put it in the cistern to flush the toilet. Safe wasn't working

Location, view from balcony, size of the appartement
Previous guest waste were still at the kitchen and floors were dirty. And there were no cleaning equipment that you could have cleaned yourself. Some of the adapters (for bedroom lamps) were broken.

The location was great, the apartment was spacious.
We were informed only a day before we were arriving that the apartment didn't have electricity, the property was accommodating with relocating us, however we were relocated to a smaller apartment; less rooms and less beds. The WiFi wasn't working in the bedrooms. And it did not have a sea view, our view was a construction site. We had to stay here for two nights.
On the day we had to change apartments some cleaners came into the apartment around 10am without any prior notice while my friend was working. I messaged the host and he apologised and said he'd send them after we leave. Then later he sent me a message at 1pm saying they booked us a taxi (free of charge) for 2pm, but I repeatedly told them we couldn't move out until 5pm since one of us was working. And some of us were also out of town. I tried calling the host to sort it, but I kept getting reception and was told they would call me back. They never called me back. At 1pm another cleaner came in while my friend was in the middle of a meeting. She had to cancel her meetings for the rest of the day because she couldn't work in these conditions. The rest of us also had to cut our day short because the host did not want to change the time of the taxi. Eventually we were able to cancel the taxi. This would all have been much easier to sort out, would the host just have called us back. Instead he sent me a number to call which just sent me right back to reception who never called back.
Once we moved to the Tigne seafront apartment, it was difficult to find it. We booked two Bolt taxis and both arrived at different destinations. We did eventually find it by typing in a nearby restaurant. Later that day the electricity stopped working. We were able to fix it ourselves with the troubleshooting folder they had at the apartment. However, when we came back from dinner it wasn't working again and we had to wait 3 hours before it was fixed. We missed out on half of the event we went to.

THEY WILL ASK YOU FOR THE DEPOSIT WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
ON THE SERIOUS NOTE you have to pay it asap in order to get the keys.
Then it will take ages that they will not want to return and start not to reply the messages.

A deceptively spacious apartment in a great location for exploring Valletta and Malta in general. Fabulous view from the balcony/terrace areas across the harbour and towards Valletta. Very handy for the local ferry to Valletta (short trip and a few euros) and also for the more local shops, bars and restaurants. The hot tub (2 person) with a view is a lovely little bonus and can be a cool tub for those hot summer days!
The apartment is well appointed and equipped with good air con for each room. There are a couple of areas around the edges and if you look very closely with a critical eye that could just be but right (i.e. loose bit of skirting here and there) but nothing that detracts. We had a fault with the kettle whilst staying and this was quickly and efficiently dealt with and a replacement provided. Always good to know that if something does go wrong that someone is on hand to assist.
The property is a couple of floors up, there is a lift once in the building, but there are a few steps until you are in the lobby area. Once inside and doors shut then there is no noise or issue from the road below.
All round a great place to stay.
The recycling system! Plus the way rubbish is collected (this is not the hosts fault it's the way it works in Malta) does mean the property can be a bit uninviting from the street, but don't let that put you off. It's just the way it is.

The property we booked was fine. However, we were moved to a property for 2 nights at the last minute which was not as good.., only 3 small bedrooms when we had specifically booked four.
Victoria, who met us at Tigne was lovely and organised free transfers back to the airport when she heard our story.
The host offered us a free dinner to compensate when I requested compensation. However, the restaurant was 25 mins outside the city where he had placed us and we were not offered any rransport to it. When I requested a restaurant in the city, I was told no- that I had accepted the original offer then refused it so nothing else was being offered. Bad form in my opinion.

The location in Sliema is tops! Right on the water near to restaurants, shopping, the ferry, many cafes, etc. Sliema is super convenient for getting around Malta as it's centrally located. It is a very large apt with 4 BR and we truly enjoyed the jacuzzi on the terrace. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, though we mostly brought in or ate out since there were so many great places. There aren't that many choices when you want a 4 BR that is centrally located so we were very grateful to have found it, even though it has some quirks.
The beds are definitely not the newest and the one in the main bedroom (the double) was especially squeaky. After one night of trying not to roll over, we put our daughter in there since she is small (less weight = less squeaking!) and sleeps through anything. The other beds (90 cm, twin size) were marginally better but the mattresses have truly seen better days.
We likely had bad luck, but other reviewers noted that they were also disturbed by the neighbors and the walls are definitely thin. We could hear every time someone moved a chair, music from the party one night was especially irritating after midnight, and lots of doors slamming and little consideration. Nothing that the hosts can do anything about but notable.
The kitchen was not especially clean when we arrived and we pointed it out to property management when she came to take the deposit and do the check in. The bathroom in the master has a tub but the shower holder is about 50 cm off the ground and there's no curtain so it's just for sitting. The other shower had a broken hose. Property management took pictures but it wasn't repaired during our stay, also because I didn't want to waste a vacation day waiting for a plumber. It should have been pointed out and fixed before we arrived (How did the cleaner do the shower?!). We ended up taking the hose from the tub and using it in the shower but one shower is not much for 6 people.
At one point a box on the wall started randomly beeping uncontrollably and we had to get in touch with property management to top off the electricity. We had barely used any (no AC since it was too cold and we were out all day. It was dealt with promptly, fortunately since it was loud and annoying, at 9 PM. We were not charged since we had not used much electricity and we had a laugh since the box is called the "Joy Meter" and we were certainly having a laugh over dinner. :-)
5.0
A clean, well maintained and spacious flat offering unobstructed waterfront views, outdoor dining, and a hot tub. The apartment boasts a peaceful setting while still being steps away from restaurants, shops, and a large steps grocery store. Transport into Valletta and other destinations is easy whether you want ferries, buses or taxis. Ana and Ralph were responsive, accommodating, and all around amazing hosts!
We loved everything!
