Just spent a fantastic 3 night stay in Malta. Loved it. Stayed near the Step Down bar in Sliema. Felt authentic to me, really enjoyed the bars and, especially, the food. Appreciated the that when it came time to pay there were no surcharges or tipping nonsense. Prices were good and I probably ordered more than I would normally as a result- cocktails etc. However, last day in Valetta was twice asked to tip, first time quite aggressively (paid 10%), second time less so (declined - it was hard work just getting served). Where’s it going in Malta? I hate the whole tipping dance and I’m happy to pay reasonable prices.
