    The property is literally a step away from the sea and lots of shops, cafes but still located on a quiet street. Big room, very welcoming host, can definitely recommend it!

    The fact that is written that the kitchen is shared but you are not allowed to use the kitchen.

    This is our first time when we book a property with a host. It was an interesting experiment for us. The room was nice, clean, spacious, the bathroom was ok. A big plus of this room is the private bathroom. The location of the house is amazing. We were closed to the bus station, to beach. The place is quiet even if it is located near the center. I really recommend this property for its great location! When we arrived Giuseppe welcomed us. He is a really nice host, he took care of everything. He asked for deposit but when we left we received the money back. When we arrived he told us we can not use the kitchen, just for breakfast to prepare something light. First we were unsatisfied with this but he proposed to cook for us for dinner for 35 euros ( for 2 persons). We were a little bit skeptical but we agreed to try. Wow , wow, wow! Amazing!! You should at least try one evening to eat there! Giuseppe is such a great chef, we ate so good and at so low price! If you go to restaurant the prices are higher and portions smaller. When Giuseppe cooked for us we were eating large portions and amazing food. We ate different kind of fish, like tuna fish, seabass, squid, swordfish, octopus. The food was really good, food that you don’t eat at home ( except for pasta, we ate almost every night pasta together with the other type of food). We were eating on a nice terrace outside, with sea view. We stayed 10 nights and only on our 8th day the towels and the bedsheets were changed. So I recommend you ask for fresh towels. Also if you plan to stay longer, don’t forget to bring toilet paper with you and soap, shower gel etc.

    the room is in someones apartment, the common spaces do not feel comfortable because they are constantly crowded with the owner and his friends instead of by guests. The deposit has not been returned to me after 2 weeks - I would not advise anyone to pay it. I found two cockrouches in the room. There is no breakfast option on site.

    location is the only good thing about the stay.

    Absolutely loved my stay here! The location is unbeatable, surrounded by great cafés, bars, and everything you could need. You can see the ocean from the balcony so a few minutes walk to the beach. The staff went above and beyond, so warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I was greeted with genuine hospitality, and the room was spotless, well-equipped, and comfortable. It had everything I needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. This place has a great vibe, perfect for both short visits and longer stays. I’ll definitely be coming back—100% would stay here again!

    I would NEVER recommend this stay to anyone . He asdvertised this stay as a full private apartment but it’s literally an apartment with 3 rooms , he rents out 2 of them and the host stays in the other one. The host smokes in the house so the house smells bad , he told us about a 25 euros deposit that we had to pay which we made the agreement to give it to him in cash (because we had read the previous reviewss and saw how eveyone said he doenst give the deposit back) and on the day of departure he was supposed to give it back. HE DIDNT, he started being rude and making up excuses. I had to text him for weeks after my trip everyday to get my deposit back and he would take long to answer and ignore my messages. It had come to the point where I had to threaten him before he actually realised how serious I was . Also he told us before hand that we were allowed to drop our bags of at 9 am as we landed early , when we arrived in front of the appartement and were calling him he didn’t answer . Later on he answered saying that he’s sorry but we can’t drop our bags off anymore , so we were sweating dragging our bags to a drop off location which we had to pay for . the communication between us was terrible as he doenst speak English properly. There’s so many bad things I could say ab this experience.

    The only thing that was good about this place was the fact we booked the room with private bathroom.

    The owner smokes in the house. The owner comes into your room. The owner said we can use the fridge, and he kept on eating our food and drinking our drinks. We were there a week and he only changed our bedding and towels once. The wifi was not very stable. It was advertised as private bathroom and we had to share bathroom and toilet with owner and other guests. The owner promised to return our deposit, and he did not and when we left was after they did the cleaning and checked the room, as we picked up our luggage at 12.30 and checked out at 10am. So after the false advertising of a private room with bathroom, we had our room used as a walkthrough by the owner, our food and drinks consumed by the owner without our permission, and our deposit not returned. Considering what we paid was fairly high, I would not even give this place 1 point

    The location was good, as it was very near the beach, about 150m.

    Airbnb type accomodiotiom - 2 rooms are rented out and in 1sleeps Guseppe,We booked a room with a private bathroom, but were given room with a shared bathroom, so 1. night we spent there. Right near this room sleeps Guseppe, his room door is always open, so in the morning you hear loud snoring, additionally there was alarm clock what was going on for about 20 minutes, Room has really hard mattress->I woke up with a backpain. In the morning I went to use shared bathroom, there was not flushed urine in the toilet! We were told we must pay Malta tourist tax for 10 nights (2 people) 10 eur, which we paid, but later I saw my Booking conformation which stated, that we already paid this 10 eur when we booked a room. So we paid twice+Constantino, said that we must pay 30 eur, which we will get back after we leave. Why 30 eur, if Booking cleary states that 25 eur? We paid.. In a room that we finally got what we booked there are not TV, no toiletries (just some hand wash dissolved with water, so practically was water in a hand wash bottle). There are no BBQ possibility, like stated in a Booking. If you use a kitchen,Guseppe gets very mad,. You san use ONLY KETTEL. You can`t use even a micowave - you will not get your 30 eur back. In this place we constantly felt, that we did somethinf wrong and might get Guseppe bad attitude, We didnt feel there welcomed at all. When I asked through Whatsup (guseppe not always there) how we can get to Italian taste coffeshóp to get a free breakfest, I was told, that I will be given some tickets next day in the morning->no information next morning. So I asked politely agan and got very rude respond, that I have to stay calm now, Constantino himself taking to me etc. I felt even more uncomfortable and never contacted him or Guseppe again. My husband did. Guseppe told, that wants that guest leave their rooms open, so him or cleaning lady can check the room anytime! We got 2 times strangers coming in our room while we were there!

    ´This place is for you, if you like: -waking up to a sigarette smoke every morning, bcs Guseppe smokes in an apartment -walking half a kilometer to get a cup of coffee and a croissant (so called free breakfast) -get overcharged and not getting your deposit back -to leave you room door not locked when you are not there

    Stinking hot, fan and AC broken. Room like a sauna. Hottest room in the apartment. Host smoked in common areas and the smoke permeated my room. Played very loud car racing and movies vey loudly at night. Information on site NOT up to date, obviously hasn’t been updated since Covid. Towels old and worn. He had no SPARE pillows. Didn’t provide even the tiniest of bar of soap or a tiny bottle of water yet told not to drink from the tap. And I arrived at midnight! Shower door half off its hinges and broken.

    Host sleeping on sofa in lounge during stay and asking for cash as he had no money and guests hadn't showed up for room . Found out my room I was in is actually rented on a contract to a female through the landlord and she had Been moved out of her room so it could be rented to me the money for this went to himself and she gets none of this and I belive he needs a licence to do this and I'm sure he's not declaring this to the local authorities which I have found out is illegal in malta. Beware if you stay here your room key fits all the other rooms in the apartment. Worst thing that came out of this stay is when local shop owner asked were I was staying on my holiday and his reply was and I quote ( oh your staying with the coke addict upstairs) not what I was expecting to hear Looked through reviews after my stay shocking to say the least. I now read as many reviews as I can before booking a stay anywhere.

    The owner is offering a "if you refer my business to your friends, I will give you 30% of their money back" deal. The 30E deposit is only refundable after a written positive review. This is an Airbnb type of accommodation: there are 3 rooms, shared kitchen, shared bathroom; 2 rooms are rented out, the owner lives in the 3rd room. The room with a balcony is not a balcony with a sea view, but faces the courtyard area and is used for drying laundry. This room is not equipped with air-conditioning, so you need to keep the balcony door open. This brings the annoying noise of all the air-conditioners in the block (4 buildings connected) echoing in the inner courtyard, ear-plugs are recommended. This room is not possible to lock. The wifi is available at the shared sea-view balcony. This sea-view balcony is not in the best condition. The owner is a heavy smoker. Overall the standard of the accommodation makes you want to stay outside as much as possible. The accommodation is suitable for people in their 20-ties, smokers. Not recommended for single ladies. To avoid misunderstandings, put discussed arrangements in written.
