I highly recommend the apartments from Solea Holiday Homes. I stayed in this apartment for almost a month, and everything felt very good. I was very satisfied with both the accommodation and the quality of their service. The neighbourhood is not only quiet but also feels safe. From the first day I moved in, I felt warm and comfortable here. Because of this, I decided to rent another apartment from the same company and stay for another month. If I come back to Malta in the future, Solea Holiday Homes will definitely be my first choice again.
Response from the host
Thank you, Tz Shin — we’re so pleased our apartment and service made you feel comfortable enough to extend your stay. We look forward to hosting you again in Malta and will keep working to maintain the same standard.
- BobbieApril 2026
Great place to stay for our trip. Good location, helpful communication from the host. The apartment had everything we needed
Response from the host
Thanks, Bobbie — glad our apartment worked well for your trip and that you found the location and communication helpful. Would be great to welcome you back next time you’re in Sliema.
- MelissaMarch 2026
Nos encantó la estancia. El apartamento muy limpio y cómodo, la cocina muy bien equipada, también con algunos ingredientes básicos: aceite de oliva, sal, especias, café de diferentes tipos. La ubicación es estratégica para moverse a pie, en ferry y autobús a los destinos turísticos más importantes. Las instrucciones fueron claras, el horario flexible, el personal de limpieza gentil. Agradecimos las recomendaciones locales, nos sentimos como en casa. Recomendamos este lugar a otros viajeros. Sin duda nos hospedaremos nuevamente aquí cuando regresemos a Malta.
- SergeiMarch 2026
Полноценные апартаменты. Удобная кровать, гостиная с огромным телевизором. Есть посуда, капсулы для кофе, для посудомоечной машины, для стиралки. В холодильнике было заботливо оставлена бутылка воды. Есть и сушилка и стиралка, есть утюг. Прекрасный балкон для утреннего кофе. Кондиционеры в обоих комнатах Санузел немного тесноват. Раковина очень маленькая и неудобно в ней даже зубы чистить. Вентиляция в санузел выходит в никуда - просто в нишу без вытяжки)))
Response from the host
Thank you Sergei for the lovely 10★ review and for choosing our apartment — I’m glad you enjoyed the comfort and balcony. I appreciate your constructive feedback and we’ll work on improvements to make future stays even better. Hope to welcome you back to Sliema soon.
- JustinNovember 2025
The apartment was perfect for my 2 week work trip. I highly recommend for any solo travelers or couples wanting a quiet location close to the heart of the Sliema strand. I look forward to staying here again.
Response from the host
Thank you, Justin — I’m glad our apartment suited your work trip and its quiet, central location. We look forward to hosting you again next time you’re in Sliema.
- ClaudiaOctober 2025
Nice apartment not far away from the waterfront as well as from Baluta Bay, situated in a quiet and residential street. Fully equipped (even with a wash machine), much space and pefect for a relaxed stay. Balcony included. We would stay there again. Communication could be better. You receive very long emails with too much information, but the question if we could have a second keycard was only answered after the 2nd attempt (by the way, a second keycard is "against the policy"). And we didnt't want to watch TV during our holidays, but we have asked ourselves why there is a huge television flat screen in the apartment when there is no TV reception.
- LouiseSeptember 2025
The accommodation was perfectly located just tucked behind the seafront hotels and shops on a quiet street but so close to everything. The apartment was spotless and exactly like the photos with all the mod cons to enjoy home from home. Air-conditioning throughout. Did I mention spotless?? We were very impressed and also with self check-in etc plenty of support and advice from Bert to help us enjoy our stay in beautiful Malta 🇲🇹 Having to leave!!!
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Louise. We’re delighted our apartment’s location, spotless condition, and Bert’s support helped make your stay feel like a true home away from home. Hope to welcome you back to Malta soon!
- ReginaSeptember 2025
We all enjoyed our stay in the Solea apartments. Comfortable and clean, all you need to feel like home. Our street was calm and peaceful. Everything was like on the pictures. We appreciate all the care and detail Solea put into their apartments. Communication was amazing and quick, all my questions were answered. Me and my girls are grateful for the stay. Best luck, Girls from Slovakia. 🩷

- OliverJuly 2025
This apartment was great. Very modern, clean and tidy, apartment with all the amenities you would need. Easy to find and check in. The host is very responsive, very helpful, and provided a great list of local recommendations. Great location, lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance. We hired a car, there is free parking on the road, and other roads - we could always park within a 5 minute walk every day with no problems. Would love to stay again!
Response from the host
Thank you, Oliver! I’m glad you both found our apartment comfortable and enjoyed the location and parking. Would love to welcome you back anytime.
- MercédeszJuly 2025
Modern, tiszta, központi elhelyezkedés
- IgorsJuly 2025
Great apartment with everything required for wellbeing in Malta. Located in quiet street and walking distance from the coast and city life. Communication with the owner was smooth, efficient and helpful, if required. Totally suggest this place to all who don’t want to stay at a load and expensive coastline but enjoy peacefully for a reasonable price.
Response from the host
Thank you so much, Igors! I’m happy you both enjoyed our apartment and found everything you needed for a relaxing stay. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’ll keep working to deliver the same smooth service and peaceful atmosphere for future guests. Hope to host you both again soon!
- PéterJuly 2025
Jó elhelyezkedés, szállásadóval rugalmas és könnyű kommunikáció, tiszta szép rendezett lakás volt.
Response from the host
Thanks, Péter, for your lovely feedback. I’m glad you and your friends enjoyed the location and found communication easy, and that our apartment felt clean and comfortable. You’re welcome back any time!
- MarcinJune 2025
The house is in a quiet neighbourhood. The building has an elevator. We communicate with Bert via chat, so we don’t need to meet face to face.
Response from the host
Thank you for your stay! I’m glad you enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood. It was a pleasure communicating with you — always here if you need anything!
- CatherineMay 2025
Just stayed at this apartment for a couple of night. Apartment was spacious, clean and conveniently located to Valetta, the coast and access to all tours. Can definitely recommend a visit.
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed the apartment and its location. It was a pleasure hosting you and you'd be welcome back anytime!
- GabrielMay 2025
9/10. Would stay here again.
Response from the host
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay! 💖
- NatashaApril 2025
Great place to stay! Comfy bed and had everything that needed. Only minus that check out is very early in the morning but had a storage to leave our staff.
Response from the host
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear you had a comfortable stay. I appreciate your understanding regarding the early check-out time, and I'm happy the storage worked out for you. We hope to welcome you again soon!
- CosminApril 2025

- PieterMarch 2025
Sliema is een perfecte locatie om Malta te bezoeken. Ok, het verkeer is er soms wat chaotisch, maar verder vonden we de locatie hélemaal top. Parkeren konden we altijd gewoon in de straat doen met onze huurauto. Heel wat keuze aan restaurants, vlakbij Valetta, winkels en bakkers op wandelafstand. Het appartement had alles te bieden wat we verwachten. Een handige keuken met alle benodigdheden, een gezellige living en een slaapplek met een ruime kast waarin je alles kwijt kan!
Response from the host
Thank you so much, Pieter! I'm really happy you enjoyed the apartment and found the location convenient for exploring Malta. Great to hear parking worked out too! You’re always welcome back anytime!
- FayeFebruary 2025
our stay here was great. everything as described and close to great restaurants and the waterfront. the apartment is up a step hill though which is fine for us but if you have mobility issues it could be tough. I'd deffo stay again
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Faye! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and the great restaurants nearby. I appreciate your feedback about the hill, and I’d love to host you again anytime!
- OleksandraJanuary 2025
Everything was great. Perfect location, lots of restaurants, shops nearby, close to the sea. The apartment had everything for a comfortable stay. In the kitchen you will find everything you need for cooking, there is a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, iron, hairdryer, etc. I also want to note that communication with the host was helpful and fast. Thank you for your hospitality ❤️
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Oleksandra! I'm so glad to hear that you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the apartment's location and amenities. It was a pleasure to assist you, and I truly appreciate your kind words. I hope to welcome you back in the future! ❤️
- JordanDecember 2024
The apartment is very lovely! The location requires the use of a car or taxi to get most places.
Response from the host
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the apartment lovely. We'll continue to provide tips to make getting around easier. 🫶🏼
- JosephOctober 2024
This apartment is a great option for those who want to stay close to Valletta and have access to the rest of Malta. Sliema is a nice area in Malta and the main area is only a short walk from the apartment. Additionally, buses and the ferry going to Valletta is only about a 10-15 minute walk away.
Response from the host
Thank you! I’m so glad the location worked well for exploring Valletta and the rest of Malta. Sliema truly is a lovely spot, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed it. Hope to welcome you back someday!
- JohnSeptember 2024
Apartment was as described and was only a 10 min walk to the ferry to Valletta. Lots of bars and eateries a short walk down the long hill. Bert’s service was fantastic and gave us lots of recommendations.
Response from the host
Thank you for the great review! I’m glad you found the apartment convenient and enjoyed the local recommendations. It was a pleasure hosting you—hope to see you again!
- TjSeptember 2024
The apartment is really nice. This is my second time staying in a place hosted by Bert and I have to say I will continue to do so when I have the chance. The apartment's are nice, clean, and comfortable. I would recommend any apartment by Bert and his team as you won't have to worry about anything and will definitely enjoy your stay.
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to stay with us again! I'm glad you had another enjoyable and comfortable stay. Your continued trust means a lot, and we look forward to welcoming you back anytime!
- RamonSeptember 2024
La atención de Bert fue muy buena, con respuestas casi inmeditas a nuestras preguntas, servicial, y mensajes de ayuda para la estada en Malta.. La asistencia de su equipo cuando tubimos problemas con el código de acceso a la puerta de la calle, fué excelente. El apartamento estaba tal como se muestra en la web. Apartamento muy bien equipado.
Response from the host
Thank you, Ramon! I'm glad to hear you found the apartment well-equipped and that our team could assist you promptly. It was a pleasure to help make your stay enjoyable, and I hope to welcome you back in the future!

Better than even planned. Best location and the best host. Definitely my stay in Malta would not be the same without those hosts. Quite located even and 5 walking from everything you need!
Response from the host

Great place. Was walkable to the main town, very clean, had a lot of amenities. Would definitely stay again.
Response from the host
Thank you, Olivia! I'm thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found everything convenient. Looking forward to hosting you again!
- MohamedJune 2024
Good choice for a couple or very small family, not far from the main areas of activity and the sea front but comes at a very steep hill, so not recommended for those who are not athletic enough or those with a baby stroller. The host is friendly and accommodated us with a late checkout, which we appreciated. Good choice for people who don't mind walking and taking steep roads, while being at a central area.
Response from the host
Thank you for your thoughtful review! I'm glad you found the location convenient despite the steep hill. Your feedback is appreciated, and I hope you had a memorable stay overall. We'd love to host you again in the future!
- AdamJune 2024
Excellent location. Extremely clean. I would return to stay.

- DarioJune 2024
Naš boravak u ovom smještaju bio je izvanredan. Domaćin je vrlo brzo odgovarao na poruke i pružio korisne savjete o lokalnim atrakcijama, trgovinama i ljekarnama. Smještaj je bio besprijekorno čist i uredan, točno kako je opisan u oglasu. Sve navedene pogodnosti bile su prisutne i u odličnom stanju. Domaćin je bio izuzetno susretljiv, pružajući korisne savjete i detaljne upute. Lokacija je mirna i idealna za opuštanje, a sve je dostupno pješice. Put do smještaja je strmovit ako dolazite iz obale Slieme, što može biti predstavljati manje izazove. Blizina grada St. Julian's i mnogobrojne autobusne linije čine lokaciju praktičnom za korištenje javnog prijevoza. Naš boravak je bio izuzetno ugodan i bez stresa. Preporučujemo ovaj smještaj svim budućim gostima koji traže čist, udoban i dobro smješten smještaj s ljubaznim domaćinom. Veselimo se ponovnom boravku ovdje!

- KApril 2024
We had a fantastic stay at Bert’s place! From first inquiry to check out communication was wonderful! Several days prior to arrival he messaged us with the check in procedure and on day of arrival we received the necessary codes. Bert send extremely informative messages with information on tourist attractions in Malta and practical info about Sliema relative to suggestions and locations of grocery stores,, pharmacies, coffee shops, etc- super helpful!! The location was convenient- walkable to both sides of the bay (as an FYI they were “hilly” walks, but very doable. The Valletta ferry was a 12 minute walk. The unit was clean and well appointed. For us, the washer and tumble dryer were the best assets! There were A/C units in both the living room and bedroom (individually controlled). This is a great flat and highly recommend booking it!
- AlicaApril 2024
Super Apartment! Lage gut zu Fuß zur Fähre erreichbar :) Bert gibt einem viele Tipps fürs Sightseeing oder guten Restaurants etc. Ich würde diese Unterkunft nochmals buchen, bei einem Besuch auf Malta!! :) Bad war etwas klein, aber vollkommen ausreichend. Die Küche mit Spülmaschine ist super und ein Trockner und eine Waschmaschine sind auch verfügbar! Toll!
- AndrewMarch 2024

Fantastyczny apartament, bardzo czysty i w dobrej lokalizacji. Na miejscu nie zabrakło nam nic w wyposażeniu. W bliskiej odległości restauracje i sklepy. Gospodarz szybko odpowiada na wiadomości i w dodatku przesyła mnóstwo ciekawych wskazówek. Miejsce warte polecenia :)

Had a lovely stay at Bert’s place. The apartment was lovely and spotless. Perfect for exploring sliema and surrounding areas!
- JuanOctober 2023
El apartamento está tal cual se ve en las fotos, está muy bien equipado y está nuevo. A destacar el aire acondicionado en la habitación y en el salón, que en días de mucho calor como los que pasamos en malta se agradece. Buena comunicación por parte de Bert. La única pega es la empinada cuesta que hay que subir desde el paseo hasta el apartamento, a cambio se encuentra en una zona muy tranquila por las noches. estuvimos muy a gusto.
- EricaOctober 2023
I would definitely recommend this airbnb to anyone, beautiful apartment, very central & everything you would need to make your stay comfortable.

Die Wohnung ist genauso wie auf den Fotos. Es ist alles da gewesen. Top sauber und in bester Qualität. Wer Urlaub auf Malta mache möchte bucht diese Wohnung. Morgens bis 8 Uhr Schatten auf den Balkon danach schön Sonne! Es war alles perfekt und man hat sich wie zuhause gefühlt. Bert antwortet sofort und ist sehr freundlich. Tips für die Umgebung gab es reichlich. Supermarkt und Restaurants zu Fuß zu erreichen. War alles TOP !!!
