Everything was really good. The bed was comfortable, I was staying in a 4 bed female dormitory and we had 2 bathrooms, which was amazing. The place was big enough. The drawers were also really big, everything fit inside. The madrass was really comfortable. It felt luxury for the price. Everything was good.

Absolutely recommend Bookarest Hostel! I initially planned to stay for just one week, but I ended up staying a whole month, that says it all! The facilities are super comfortable and always clean, with great lighting throughout. There's a cozy common area where you can watch movies and connect with other travelers, plus several fridges and hot showers available at all times. But what truly makes the difference is the staff. A huge thank you to Carlos, Felipe, and Rachel for their amazing support and good vibes. I genuinely recommend this place to anyone visiting. You’re going to love it!

I was amazed with the work of the administrators. It is definitely the best organised place I've ever visited. 1. The administrators sent me the letter where they pointed that at the time of my arrival, they would not be at reception and the door would be closed. However, they also send the code for the door and left my keys at reception desk in the envelope with my name on it. So I easily accessed my room. The room was a room for 2. In the envelope I also had Wi-Fi password and some instructions. 2. They provide beach towels and socket adapters. 3. The kitchen is very tiny but welcoming. 4. The place is very quiet. 5. The administrators kindly organised an excursion for us. 6. The room was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was very comfortable. The bed was super cozy. 7. Public transport is accesible to any place and the bus stop is 7 min away from the hostel.

The hospitality of the host was great. Considering the shared spaces, privacy was okay, and the location was amazing – everything is really close (the bus stop, the store, and pubs).

    It‘s a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I got many great recommendations what to see in Malta as well, which was awesome :) The location in Sliema is great, a nice and safe area from where you can also reach all other enjoyable areas in Malta well. It‘s a very clean hostel. Also, I liked the pretty tiles on the floor in my room :)
