Bella Vista Hotel

room cleaners at 8am screaming loudly and dragging things around. They do not respect sleeping people

This is fine for a budget hotel supposedly 4 stars. When we went it was full of school parties so expect to have them running up and down your corridor shouting and slamming doors all evening. Much better if the holiday makers were separated onto a different floor.

Absolutely terrible food, even though we were all inclusive we would not eat in the restaurant unless it was bread and cheese. The beds and linen are very poor and we would not stay again. The only good thing was friendly attentive staff. The cleaners that clean our room was very good. They also take 100’s of teenagers learning English and it can be very very noisy!

This is not a 4* hotel 3* is a Maximum Before booking, check that there are no large groups of children staying, as part of rugby or other large group tours. Otherwise you could have 3/400 children running a muck The hotel is in need of a major refurbishment The rooms are small, with two single beds pushed together. They have a single over sheet and single duvet in the wardrobe, if you dare use them. Our room had a constant noise, from the so called air conditioning that didn’t work, just a celing fan. Some rooms have a small balcony that overlooks the only small outside pool. Rooms have the usual small safe in the wardrobe, that could be carried away. Small fridge is also provided. No electric sockets near the bed, just one near the TV. The rooms have doors that are opened by a key card, which plays a small tune, this is annoying at night, so was the constant door banging from other nearby rooms We found it impossible to sleep at night, and early morning your woken by the maid wan The hotel has 6 floors of rooms, with a roof terrace with sun loungers on the top. Hotel description mentioned a jacuzzi on the top floor, however this was empty and not working, neither was the so called roof bar, that never opened. Outside pool was freezing and only enough Sun loungers for 20/30 people, in the shaded poolside. Reception staff, and other major positions were run by very rude people. I asked reception on arrival for an extra pillow, to be told that there wasn’t any. I watched as a young lad, accidentally spilt a bit of coffee on the floor, to be shouted at by the management staff. The other, obvious local staff were friendly and hardworking. The two rickety lifts broke down during our stay, and we’re not working when we left. THE FOOD Was repetitive and a poor choice You could not help yourself to anything, other than the coffee/juice machine, where there were two for a full hotel. It was like waiting in line for a small portion of school dinners. The food was Pasta, fish, pork, beef - Rice and Vegetables NO CHIPS or Childrens meals. Breakfast is the usual streaky bacon with discusting sausage, burnt eggs, beans and tomatoes. Even your toast was put through a machine for you, and was cold and not toasted enough, as it hit the plate. DRINKS Best to buy the local CISK lager, either in bottles or cans Don’t buy draght as it is flat Indoor little shop is reasonable for drinks and chocolate etc If you arrive out of normal hours, make sure you have food/drink with you, as there is nothing around the hotel other than unfinished buildings. If you venture outside the hotel turn right and keep right… Leads eventually to a rocky beach with a few shops and bars. Turning left is like a trip to a dusty building site for miles. Would we stay again?? Definitely NOT Do NOT waste your hard earned cash From what we seen in this area of Malta I would describe as Very Dusty Surrounding buildings everywhere are either rundown or like a construction site.

The hotel is ok the room was adequate and clean , didn't use the pool as it was cold but it looked ok, the food was ok found something to eat each day but the screens are still up from covid and they serve you from the buffet and I think they should go back to normal in allowing you to get your own food, found the dining room noisy . The hotel had some football groups in when we first arrived , then rugby teams came near the end of our week which wasn't a problem but there was some families with teens who were shouting and running in the hallways at 1.00am and banging into room doors which needed to be sorted before half an hour of this security or management should have been up as soon as it started as there are security cameras all over the hotel so it can be dealt with as soon as it's starts don't think I would stay here again and wouldn't stop in the area either there are so many nicer places in Malta to stop pay a little bit more and stay somewhere else

Not so good at the hotel the only thing i enjoyed was the dinner n breakfast n the staff that served us other than that poor service overall

Water stopped working while i was in the shower, staff weren’t very helpful and frankly rude not telling us what was happening consider we were flying out in the morning had to buy a case of bottle water sending my husband out to atleast wash the soap off me was first told it’ll come within 20 minutes 3hours we kept trying to find out with no real update at least of they updated us properly then we could have looked at what to do water didn’t come back till the morning even then we had to use bottle water to wash our face as the water was really dirty and we all the reception staff say is maintenance will be notified but what answer do we get? Staff was so rude that once i called down as i couldn’t go down and i said i missed dinner because i couldn’t get out the shower and he just put the phone down on me. Really don’t recommend so avoid it.

It's not a 4 star, hence why you aren't paying 4 star prices. The rooms are passable, the food & drinks are fine, and the staff are fantastic. The blonde barmaid (Svetlana?) was the friendliest person I met in Malta, and the people I met while on my trip said the same thing. Lower your standards for the lower cost and you'll have a grand old time! Bit further away from attractions, and the crowd tends to skew old(er) so depending what you want this may not be for you.

Food is major let down only thing as a person with food allergy is plain tepid rice unseasoned overcooked green beans/carrot/peas semi cold and hard under cookedyellow coated potato (apparently bombay) when I asked chef about the food and if allegecy in menus he said everyone likes my food feeling disappointed. You have to pay a euro for some tap water paid extra for half board won't be staying again asked reception any idea on tomorrow menu and response no idea the menus is set minutes before food comes out and the head chef chooses it at the time so it's a great mystery for all. I'm allergic to onions, chili, peppers, pineapple, mint and coconut. The restaurant staff don't really know what there serving on desert they called lemon was closer to tasting like rumbba or triamus one the waiter did at least bring a chef out to point out safe foods and bought me the veg to the table I a vegetarian . Pillows are weird lumpy and feel like baked rags and foam bricks. Booked a double bed got two singles. A none pool view room is view of a big a road which is very noisy. The people in the little shop are lovely and as we checked in late and transport arrived 3am they had made us a little pack lunch so nice touch
