Reviews of Five Trees

The owner of the property was a sweet person and location is good.

The host at the property (the helper) was rude and wasn’t very helpful. She didn’t like me asking her anything. I haven’t even ask for WiFi password haha she was that unfriendly. Guests should feel comfy and the first step towards that is through host when you are at some new country. It creates a major difference, especially when you have solo travellers as well.

Nothing.

We were not able to sleep due to the noise.

Lokacion

Nothing, 100 years old, no air conditioning, 40 degrees, everything in decay. I came with two children at 9:00, we didn't enter the app until 13:00 and the cleaning lady took a picture of us and I don't know who she sent it to, while we were in the living room waiting to get into the room.

Great location!

The most unresponsive host ever! I've asked multiple questions and didn't receve any reply.

What I liked the most about the hostel was the cozy, home-like atmosphere – everything was so colorful, warm, and welcoming. I really felt like someone had invited me into their home and made sure every little detail was beautiful and pleasant.

At first, I had some trouble closing the door, but the staff responded very quickly and helped me right away. I really appreciated their kindness and efficiency!

Great central place in central Sliema, very good value for money

Location is excellent. Good value.

very fun and cosy! located close to everything, clean, and also we didnt know that the plugs are different in Malta than in Europe but in our room thankfully there were plugs that we could use too:) so we didnt have to buy a transformator

it is old so the locks are a bit hard to use but once you get the hang of it you will be fine also because the windows are old cold comes in but! the blankets were very warm and as a person who is always cold it was a blessing to have a big warm blanket also it is loud yes, and the bakery under the house is loud but easiest soulution: earplugs! we slept with earplugs in and it was all fine and could get decent sleep

I liked the artistic approach to interior, colours and that hippie style :) Very authentic place. Has a terrace for morning coffees. The place is near to Sliema marina with ferries to Valletta, and bus stops to whenever you want. Our stay was still in winter (the end of February, 2025) so it was nice to have additional blanket as windows were not the ones that hold chilly night weather ;)

The door and windows’ locks were not proper but area looked very safe, so it’s alright :) You can use washing mashing only with the help of facility supervising lady :)

Great location, friendly host

The only nice thing was the bedding which was soft and smelled nicely and the kitchen is not so bad.

The house and its equipment are quite old and it is obvious that it has been used for a long time without doing any reparations, some things need to be repaired. A socket and a lamp with exposed electrical cables, the door of the room cannot be closed properly, so the light from the hallway passes through the gaps into the room, the doors and windows are not sealed and you can hear noise from the whole house and the street. The worst thing is that there is a bakery right next door, our room was right next door and from 1a.m. until the morning we had to listen to very loud banging from the bakery and a noisy fan, which was so bad that we could not even sleep some nights. The noise could be heard through the windows and even through the walls. I was surprised that this accommodation has such a high rating because I would expect much more for this rate. It is cheap, but you will not be able to sleep, it was definitely not worth it.

An exceptional experience from start to finish! The place was spotless, warm, and incredibly inviting, instantly making us feel comfortable. The staff were beyond friendly, ensuring a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere throughout our stay. Communication was flawless, making everything effortless, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless and stress-free. Every detail was thoughtfully managed, exceeding all expectations—truly a five-star experience. Highly recommended!

Noisy neighbourhood in the early morning

great location. nothing fancy but clean and good place to sleep at night.

Staff's friendliness Perfect location in Sliema

Was a bit hard for me to self checkin with that key holder not opening easily and the door requiring a specific 'technique' to be opened

Location

Old house and beds

The location is close to everything, very easy to move around with transportation or by walk. Many restaurants, cafes and shop closed by and the ferries for many excursions. The owner is available to help and give advice as well as the girls who help her. I found them very friendly. It's clean and you can use the fridge and the kitchen if you want to.

I think it need a refurbishment as it is a bit old as property, the bad was not very comfortable and one of the bathroom had only hot water from the sink.

The kitchen and the closeness to the center.

The AC and the bakery “neighbour” nightly sounds.

location

too loud
