Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you like to be pushed and trampled in the street where is a lot of drunk people be my guest. If you are trying to go to the bar it will not end well. You can not hear anything and you will lose your friends. Awful place. Do not go alone if you are woman because there are several men who are looking for women who are alone and abuse them. Be super careful. Best not to go there at all. Nastiest and ugliest place in Malta.

As I was staying in Sliema for my holiday in Malta, I wanted to check out Paceville as everyone was talking about it as *the* place to be Friday night.
Oh. My. God this place is a sh*thole, for several reasons.
On the 'strip' there are several types of establishments, but an overload of 'Gentleman's Clubs' AKA strip clubs. Outside there are below-average looking women literally grabbing you by the arm trying to drag you into the club, and convince you to buy them drinks.
Shady establishment after shady establishment. In between the Gentleman's Clubs there are a few nightclubs, with *huge* queues outside, I have heard of people waiting for two hours. The clientele seemed... suspiciously young. Fake IDs are rampant here.
I worked my way down and found a slightly more civilised bar in Hugo's Pub. Finally I could sit down, grab a drink without being disturbed - I thought.
Due to COVID one is not allowed to order by the bar, so you sit down at the time, scan the QR code and then someone will come and serve you.
I waited more than 10 minutes, no one came. I therefore left and went to another, similar establishment. Exactly the same happened.
Shocked by this hellhole of an uncultured place, I ordered a bolt back to Two Pillows. Drowning myself in the sea was tempting, but thankfully the taxi arrived quickly so I could leave this cesspool - never to come back.

Malta in general has become one of the worst, polluted and dirty places to visit! I will never recommend anyone to spend vacations in Malta and precisely to St. Julian’s paceville, strange and dirty place with garbage and horrible smell everywhere, the prices are high everywhere without any sense, the quality of services in general is not even decent, and absolutely not comparable to the money you spend. Speaking generally about hotels, restaurants or pools everything is absolutely not in line with the prices they are unpolite and absolutely unprofessional, they only care about money and they don’t offer decent service because they They rely only on the amount of people who go there.
I would also like to point out the car traffic and pollution, walking on the streets in all parts between Pieta, Msida, Gzira, Sliema, St. Julian's is absolutely dangerous because of the crazy drivers around the island, not to mention that in every single space of the promenades there is garbage, EVERY PART.
All tourist beaches are crowded and full of garbage, and the water is dirty because of people and garbage. In Malta they don't know what education is and the tourists who visit mostly kids think about drinking and littering, DON'T GO TO MALTA!

There a few pubs and clubs full of youngsters and lots of private gentleman clubs and you buy a drink with your card and then realise in the morning you’ve been ripped off , £100 euros and then £200 euros , women get you in there and then they take advantage of you to buy them a drink for yourself and them with your card . They are on commission to make lots of money off you . Stay away if you don’t want to loose loads of your money and can’t get it back . Nice people friendly and nice buildings , but some of them are way to friendly to take your money . Don’t use your card in these clubs use your euros .

If you are 18 to 24 this is the place to be anyone over 24 it is awfull. I have just come back from the Intercontinental Hotel in St. Georges., which was suppose to be a 5* hotel.Well it certainly was not. It was smack in the middle of the main street surrounded by fast food and takeaways. The streets were dirty and the place is so small and everywhere you look there are cranes and more buildings going up. This is the first time and the last time I shall visit this area.

So yeah, great place if you like to party. Street full of different kind of bars and clubs, drinks are cheap as hell. Not very classy, you have to choose wisely if you'd prefer something a bit higher in range, won't give any name but it's a nice french name. They have a roof top, pretty cool

As I walked down steps I heard a large group of gay chatting and one said "that one is gay".
The general area was full of testosterone of the threatening kind.
Lots of budget food and burgers and usual burger and food chains. I sought comfort and safety
of where I was staying.

I didn't go to any of the bars, restaurants or nightclubs. The excess noise coming from music in these places is quite annoying. Places seem to compete for the loudest music. Passing through it, however, is pleasant, especially at night when everything is lit up.

State alla larga da questo quartiere se avete da 20 anni in su!! It is populated by children aged 15 and 16. Horrible. Embarrassing. There is no corner where you can find decent people.

I always like to see and visit various places when on holiday. Paceville has had a lot of bad press in the U.K. lately so I was keen to find out what all the fuss was about!
A family resort it is not! It’s fast becoming competition for the likes of Benidorm and Magaluf! If you like that sort of thing then why not. I may not be young any more, but there are plenty of young people out there that would love a party holiday.
Shame about such high rise buildings too though, that really takes away from the loveliness that Malta has so much of.

Salve in estate andrò a Malta e ho 17 anni , ci sono controlli prima di entrare in discoteca ? Accettano anche la foto del documento?
Written 31 May 2021
Ciao volevo sapere se a fine Luglio c’è movimento e divertimento anche dalla domenica al mercoledì... oppure è concentrato solo il fine settimana? Parla di locali discoteche ecc... inoltre volevo sapere se è adatto solo a ragazzi piccoli o si trova un ambiente ideale anche per ragazzi di 30 anni! Grazie
Written 10 February 2020
Tranquillo divertimento assicurato ogni giorno. Tranquillo va bene anche per giovanotti trentenni.

Salve volevo sapere se può creare problemi il fatto che io abbia 17 anni per l'ingresso nelle discoteche? Sono in compagnia di amici tutti maggiorenni
Written 20 July 2019
Per la confusione che si crea, dubito che faccia a dei controlli... Cmq ci sono talmente tanti locali, che uno dove ti faranno entrare per diverti lo trovi...

When is the best weekday to go out in Paceville?
Written 15 July 2018
Hi. I would be out most nights as there is plenty of bars and restaurants to go to around the bay, but for a GOOD night out you should try Friday or Saturday night. The locals treat this as party time. hope this points you in the right direction. Have fun
