Beautiful penthouse apartment, spotlessly clean, tasteful decor, everything you could want for an enjoyable stay. And the icing on the cake the fabulous pool which was lovely to return to in the early evening for a relaxing swim.
Response from the host
Angela, thank you for your lovely review — I’m so glad our apartment, its cleanliness and decor met your expectations and that you enjoyed the pool for evening swims. It was a pleasure to host you and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
- AdamSeptember 2026
Outstanding top floor apartment with a stunning rooftop space! Would highly recommend if you like peace and quiet in a private setting. Everything you could need is provided although we ate out everyday or ordered food in. Ideal setting to spend the afternoon relaxing whilst escaping the Malta heat Thanks for being a great host!
Response from the host
Thanks Adam — I’m glad our apartment and rooftop gave you a peaceful spot to escape the Malta heat. Appreciate your kind words; if you have any suggestions we’ll work on them, and we’d love to welcome you back next time.
- MichaelAugust 2026
My wife and I spent a couple of days here at the end of August. Our host was very flexible with both check in and check out times. They even let us leave our luggage for a few hours after checking out. Everything is wonderful but the private pool on the roof was incredible. After a good few hours of walking about, it was great to have our own space and chill in the pool with a beer or wine. Location was excellent for bars and restaurants with the beach close by as well. A great experience and we would definitely use this again in the future. All the details provided before we arrived were spot on
Response from the host
Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad our flexible check-in/out and rooftop pool added to your stay and that our apartment’s location worked so well for you. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
- NikolozAugust 2026
We had an amazing stay! The apartment was beautiful, on the top floor, and the private pool was absolutely amazing. The owner was incredibly kind, helpful, and made sure everything was perfect for us. Highly recommend staying here. we would definitely come back.
Response from the host
Thank you, Nikoloz, for your wonderful review of our apartment and private pool. I’m thrilled you enjoyed your stay on the top floor and felt well looked after—would be a pleasure to host you again soon!
- BenAugust 2026
Absolutely amazing stay. We honestly could not recommend this place enough. The hosts were incredibly communicative and accommodating from start to finish, and the apartment itself is beautiful. It feels like real luxury. The finish is exceptional and they have genuinely thought of everything, from the steam iron and complimentary cookies to air con in both the living area and bedroom. The whole place cooled down really quickly, the WiFi was super strong, and access could not have been easier. There is also so much beautiful natural light, and even though the apartment itself is relatively small, it feels incredibly spacious thanks to the two balconies and, of course, the rooftop. The rooftop was something else. Sitting in the pool with 360 degree panoramic views across the city, listening to our own music through the speakers with a glass of wine as the sun went down was genuinely one of the best experiences of our honeymoon. We would 100% recommend staying here and would absolute
Response from the host

- DavidAugust 2026
Super freundliche und einfache Kommunikation! Schnelle Hilfe und viele Tipps! Die Wohnung war einfach zu finden und entsprach der Beschreibung. Der Pool war natürlich toll! Ansonsten war alles einwandfrei - Klimageräte, Dusche etc. Preislich etwas teuer, das wäre aber auch das einzige, was ich auszusetzen hätte.
Response from the host
Thank you for your lovely feedback, David—glad you found our communication smooth and enjoyed our apartment and pool. We appreciate your thoughts on pricing and will keep them in mind as we review our rates. Hope to host you again soon!

Such an amazing Airbnb, one of the best I’ve stayed in. Would highly recommend. The private pool was so great in the hot Maltese summer. Will be back!
Response from the host

- MarijaJuly 2026
We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book this apartment again! The communication with the host was excellent from the very beginning. They were always friendly, quick to respond, and very helpful with any questions we had. We also really appreciated all the local recommendations they shared with us. The apartment was exactly as described, beautifully furnished, very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was well equipped and made us feel at home. The absolute highlight was the private rooftop pool. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring and made our stay even more special. The location was fantastic as well – restaurants, supermarkets, the promenade, and other attractions were all within easy walking distance. Thank you for a lovely stay. We would happily recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Sliema and would love to stay here again! 😊
Response from the host
Thank you Marija — I really appreciate your lovely feedback. I’m glad our communication, local tips and little extras (especially the rooftop pool) helped make your stay relaxing, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back to our apartment anytime.
- MarioJuly 2026
You should absolutely stay here! This was one of our most favorite Airbnbs that we have stayed at over the years. It is exactly as it appears, the pool is incredible, and it is very safe and secure. The location is absolutely perfect, incredibly walkable and stunning. This flat truly made our experience in Malta incredible! Additionally, our hosts were some of the best and responsive that we have ever had which was so important since we were in a foreign country. 12/10! We recommend!
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your wonderful words, Mario — I’m glad our apartment and pool helped make your honeymoon special. We’ll keep working to stay responsive and make every stay as smooth, and we’d love to welcome you back to Malta anytime.
- AlexiaJuly 2026
Amazing stay in Sliema. The apartment is equipped with everything you might need for a memorable stay and more. The bed is really comfortable and the air-conditioning works wonders in summer. You have a terrace just next to the kitchen with a big dinning table and chairs. The kitchen is also fully equipped. Upstairs you will find the most amazing private pool with loungers and a table and chairs. There is also an icebox where you can keep your chilled drinks. My most favorite part of all was watching the sunset over St Julians whilst chilling in the pool. I fully recommend this stay and it was the best airbnb I ever stayed in.
Response from the host
Alexia, thank you for your lovely review — I’m so glad our apartment, terrace and private pool made your stay so memorable and that you enjoyed the sunsets. It was a pleasure hosting you and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
- MelanieJuly 2026
What a great find! We absolutely loved this penthouse! It has an amazing pool area that offers beautiful views while still feeling private, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The host was incredibly helpful, and all the instructions were sent in advance with great attention to detail. He also shared several recommendations for places to visit in Malta when we asked. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and everything was brand new. We couldn't have asked for anything better! Highly recommended! We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit Malta.
Response from the host
Thanks so much, Melanie — I’m really pleased you enjoyed the penthouse, pool and the recommendations, and that our instructions were helpful. We’d love to welcome you back to our apartment next time you visit Malta. Safe travels and see you again!
- CaroJuly 2026
Everything was amazing ! The penthouse is stunning, check in and communication very fast and easy. We would love to come again
Response from the host
Thank you, Caro — really glad you enjoyed our apartment and that check‑in and communication were smooth. We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re in Malta; just send me a message and we’ll make everything ready.
- LucJune 2026
super logement, très propre et hôte sympa ! Le lien sur Airbnb n'envoie pas a la bonne adresse donc un peu compliqué de trouver la première fois. gros plus, il n'y a pas besoin de clé pour l'appartement, uniquement des codes a retenir, c'est vraiment pratique
Response from the host
So glad you enjoyed our apartment and found the self-check-in codes handy. I appreciate your feedback about the Airbnb link and will update our directions to make arrival even smoother. Hope to welcome you back to Malta soon!
- PietroJune 2026
Un soggiorno semplicemente eccezionale. Dopo numerosi viaggi di lavoro a Malta, posso affermare senza esitazione che questo è il miglior appartamento in cui abbia mai soggiornato. L’alloggio è curato nei minimi dettagli, arredato con grande gusto e dotato di ogni comfort immaginabile. Non manca assolutamente nulla: dagli accessori per la vita quotidiana alle soluzioni pensate per rendere il soggiorno pratico, rilassante e piacevole. Gli spazi sono organizzati in modo intelligente e funzionale, ma il vero valore aggiunto è l’area superiore con la piscina: una realizzazione davvero geniale che trasforma l’esperienza in qualcosa di speciale. È il luogo perfetto per rilassarsi dopo una giornata di lavoro o semplicemente per godersi il sole e la tranquillità. Pulizia impeccabile, comunicazione eccellente e un’attenzione verso gli ospiti che si percepisce in ogni dettaglio. L’unico rammarico è non aver potuto prolungare il soggiorno. Tornerò sicuramente alla prossima occasione
Response from the host
Thank you Pietro — Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Reading feedback like yours makes all the time, effort, and passion we invest in creating a truly exceptional guest experience feel incredibly worthwhile. We have always believed that the smallest details make the biggest difference, so it means a lot to know that you noticed and appreciated everything—from the comfort and functionality of the apartment to the rooftop pool area that we designed to be a special place to relax and unwind. Your kind words about the cleanliness, communication, and overall experience are greatly appreciated. Hosting guests like you is a pleasure, and we are delighted that the apartment stands out among your many stays in Malta. We would be thrilled to welcome you back on your next business trip, and hopefully next time you’ll be able to stay a little longer!
- OllieJune 2026
This was one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in and was the standout accommodation during our holiday in Malta. The flat was really nice, and was incredibly clean. The highlight feature was the pool on the rooftop with lovely views across the city - it was particularly refreshing after a long day in the sun. The host was brilliant, providing plenty of information before and during our stay - they also helped out when we accidentally left some items behind, going above and beyond to meet us. Overall a great experience I’d recommend to anyone looking for a lovely Airbnb in Malta.
Response from the host
Thanks so much for the kind words, Ollie. It was a real pleasure hosting you both, and I'm glad the rooftop pool and city views made your stay special. Happy we could help with the items you left behind too. Wishing you safe travels, and you're always welcome back at our apartment anytime!
- MarkJune 2026
Faultless. Property matched the description/photos. Host was pro-active and responsive. Peaceful location. Only a short walk from both Sliema waterfront & St Julian's. Great views from the rooftop pool and not overlooked at all so felt really private! Would recommend and will book again when next in Malta!
Response from the host
Thanks so much for the kind words, Mark! Really glad the rooftop pool and location worked out well for you, and that everything matched up with what you were expecting. It was great hosting you and your friend — you were both brilliant guests. Looking forward to welcoming you back to our apartment next time you're in Malta!
- RobertoJune 2026
This Airbnb was simply amazing! We honestly couldn't have asked for better accommodation. It was super well equipped, and everything was carefully thought through, from the design up to the amenities they left us. Everything we needed was there, even a lint shaver! Everything feels high quality. The bed was honestly one of the most comfortable beds that I have ever slept on, with a super high quality mattress. When it comes to the rooftop pool, the space is simply stunning, private, and perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The location was perfect, a quiet road with traditional Maltese houses, yet right in the center of Sliema, so within a short walking distance to restaurants, bars, and even the ferry that takes you to Valletta. There is an amazing coffee shop around the corner that one must try. The hosts were also as amazing as the space, super helpful, super friendly, and extremely professional. I would like to use this review to thank them for a job well done. Will be back
Response from the host
Roberto, thank you so much for the lovely review — I’m really pleased our apartment and rooftop pool made your stay so enjoyable. We’ll keep working to maintain and improve the guest experience and would be delighted to welcome you back soon!
- JamieJune 2026
One of the best apartments I have stayed in with AirBnB. Spotlessly clean. Has everything you could need for a fabulous holiday and more. The pool on the roof is absolutely amazing! so close to all the restaurants, bars, shops and boats to Valetta and Gozo. Cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. will definitely return.
Response from the host
Jamie, thank you so much for this lovely review — I’m glad our apartment, the rooftop pool and the location helped make your holiday special. We’ll keep everything in top shape and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
- MałgorzataMay 2026
Spędziliśmy w tym apartamencie fantastyczny czas i z pełnym przekonaniem dajemy najwyższą ocenę! Już od samego początku wszystko przebiegało bezproblemowo. Gospodarze to niezwykle serdeczni ludzie, którzy bardzo się starali, aby nasz pobyt był w pełni komfortowy – ich zaangażowanie i pomocność zasługują na ogromny plus. Sam apartament jest po prostu świetnie wyposażony. Widać, że został urządzony z głową i myślą o gościach – znaleźliśmy w nim absolutnie wszystko, co potrzebne do codziennego funkcjonowania, a nawet więcej. Wszystko było czyste, przygotowane na nasz przyjazd i dokładnie takie, jak w opisie. Żadnych minusów, wszystko było w jak najlepszym porządku. Z czystym sumieniem polecam to miejsce każdemu, kto szuka idealnych warunków do odpoczynku! No i ten basen na dachu - jak wisienka na torcie 🌸
Response from the host
Małgorzata, thank you so much for your lovely feedback and for choosing to stay with us. I’m glad our team and our apartment (and the rooftop pool) helped make your stay comfortable — if you have any suggestions, we’ll gladly work on them for future guests. Hope to welcome you back to our apartment soon.
- BłażejMay 2026
Wszystko super i w 100% zgodne z opisem. Apartament jest nowy, czysty i świetnie wyposażony – od wygodnych łóżek po fajny, prywatny basen na dachu. Lokalizacja w Sliemie okazała się bardzo dobrą bazą wypadkową do zwiedzania Malty, a do tego blisko stąd do sklepów i knajp. Kontakt z gospodarzem bez zarzutu – odpisywał sprawnie i podesłał masę przydatnych wskazówek, które ułatwiły nam pobyt. Zdecydowanie polecam to miejsce na udany wyjazd.
Response from the host
Thank you, Błażej — I’m glad our apartment, rooftop pool and location made your trip to Malta enjoyable. It was a pleasure hosting you; I appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Sliema soon.
- DmytroMay 2026
Overall everything matched the description, this is indeed great apartment and a rare find Apartment is cozy, fully renovated with attention to details. Additional plus is all the kitchen and home supplies that were carefully provided by the host. Keep in mind Early checkout time, but for us it wasn't problem at all.
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the apartment, the design details, and all the extra supplies we carefully prepare for our guests. It means a lot to know you appreciated the time and attention we put into the space. We also really appreciate your understanding regarding the checkout time. We are committed to presenting the apartment in immaculate condition for every guest, and we want to ensure our housekeeping team has enough time to complete a full and detailed turnover between stays. That being said, based on guest feedback, we’ve recently adjusted our standard checkout time to 9:30am to give guests a little more flexibility. We also always encourage guests to get in touch if they would like some extra time, and whenever schedules allow, we will always do our very best to accommodate late checkouts where possible. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
- MichaelApril 2026
This penthouse apartment is ideally situated in an elevated position near the centre of Sliema being about a 5 minute walk to Balluta Bay & 10 minutes in the other direction to the ferries in Sliema. The penthouse is on the 4th floor of a renovated town house which has been finished to a high standard including a lift with secure access to the penthouse. The apartment is clean, modern & as shown in the photos. The shower is powerful & there are views across the rooftops towards Paceville from the lounge terrace & panoramic views from the roof. The roof terrace with the pool & loungers is a nice place to relax & is reached by a spiral staircase from outside of the kitchen. The hosts were good & professional, providing lots of information & dealing quickly with any query. Highly Recommended.
Response from the host
Thank you, Michael, for the fantastic review and recommendation.

모든 것이 만족스러운 숙소였습니다. 사진과 똑같은 인테리어였고 위치도 몰타의 여러 곳으로 이동하기에 편했습니다. 주변에 작은 가게들도 많았고 커피가 맛있는 카페가 2군데나 있어서 좋았습니다. 호스트도 무척 친절해서 편하게 지낼수 있었습니다. 다음에 몰타에 오면 다시 오고 싶은 곳입니다

One of the best airbnb experiences I have ever had (and I had many). Very nicely finished apartment whereby the host thought of every detail. Comfort level is top notch. Amazing bed and shower, sunny terrace with a nice view and and extra level on the roof with a stunning pool. Also the location is great, in a quiet and traditional street and yet just a few minutes walk from the seafront, which is full of cafe's and beach clubs. No need to look further, just book this!
Response from the host
Thank you, Yvo, for your fantastic review! I’m glad our apartment’s comfort, terrace, and rooftop pool hit the mark, and that the location worked so well for you. Your kind words mean a lot, and we hope to host you again soon!

Новые аппартаменты. Уютно, есть все для готовки еды. Есть отличная терраса с большим столом и видом на город. Тихая улица. Удобный матрасс и кровать. Есть отпариватель для одежды❤️ Хороший холодильник. Все новое в квартире. Хозяева ответственные и всегда на связи. Дали много полезных инструкций. В Декабре с парковкой рядом проблем не было. В пешей доступности минимаркеты и рестораны, мусор не обязательно сортировать, достаточно до 1200 вынести на улицу в 30м от двери. Нам разрешили заселиться раньше, тк квартира была готова.

Bert was an excellent host! it exceeded our expectations in every way. Beautiful, fully equipped apartment with gorgeous decoration and details. Bert went above and beyond to accommodate my mom and I after missing our connecting flight to Malta. She was extremely responsive, helpful and flexible. Highly recommend this place and host. Thank you for all your help! Hope to come back in the near future.
