Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness — "povsod je bilo umazano", stained towels and generally dirty rooms; cleanliness is a clear negative.
Service
9
Mixed but generally positive service: several guests praise helpful staff, a welcoming manager gesture (wine and water, voucher) and good reception from some employees; one report of an unfriendly receptionist lowers consistency but overall staff responsiveness was highlighted.
Location
9
Consistently praised location near bus stops and seaside promenade; described as a very good base for exploring Malta (Qawra, Bugibba, easy bus access to Valletta, St Julian, Sliema, Mdina).
Room Quality
6.4
Rooms are described as spacious and in some cases clean and well-equipped (fridge, kettle, air-conditioning), but several guests report malfunctioning or noisy air conditioning and occasional shower problems — mixed room quality.
Amenities
9.2
Strong amenities: multiple pools, rooftop terrace with Jacuzzi, gym and bars noted positively; guests enjoyed pools, terrace and leisure facilities.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed value perception: some guests found the half-board acceptable, others warn against all-inclusive due to food quality and note the hotel needs renovation — overall slightly below average value.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Repeatedly criticized for monotonous, repetitive breakfasts and limited variety at meals; some appreciated continental options but overall F&B variety and quality received negative comments.
Overall Experience
7.1
Mixed overall: some guests were very satisfied and would recommend (praised service, pools and location), while others were disappointed mainly due to cleanliness, noisy environment and poor AC/food — averaged impression aligns with target rating.

Pros:

Dobre miejsce wypadowe do zwiedzania Malty.

Cons:

Bardzo monotonne jedzenie, relatywnie mały wybór dań. Nie polecam wyboru opcji all inclusive. Hotel wymaga remontu, w pokoju klimatyzacja działała słabo i była bardzo głośna.

Cons:

„Klimatyzacja” nie domagała totalnie, nie przespałyśmy tam praktycznie ani jednej nocy. Nie dało się korzystać z łazienki bez otwartych drzwi które i tak mało dawały. Jedna z nas musiała spać na balkonie aby chociaż spróbować zasnąć z powodu temperatury. Śniadania codziennie takie same bez rewelacji.

Soggiorno all'hotel Canifor a Malta
Pros:

Ci e' piaciuto l'albergo e tutti i servizi che offre. Ottima posizione vicino ai capolinea dei bus. Piscine a disposizione dei clienti, disponibilita' del personale per qualsiasi esigenza, accoglienza in camera con acqua ed un voucher per una cena omaggio! Siamo davvero entusiasti e lo consiglieremo sicuramente!

Cons:

La colazione e' stata gradita, ma da italiani avremmo gradito una maggiore varieta' nella scelta dei cibi dolci. Maggiore attenzione viene dedicata,invece, alla colazione continentale con uova,bacon e salumi!
