Ray's place is really well situated for those who are more independent, looking for somewhere quiet and would like a place to cook their own food. I was fortunate to get on very well with the other guests so it was easy. Be aware that you need to be considerate with the kitchen and bathroom as you are sharing them with two other rooms.
I recommend taking some slippers and some warm clothes in January because Malta is not set up for the colder times like other countries and 10 degrees at night can feel quite cold. I also recommend buying the 21 euro bus card for the week; it works on Gozo too! You can walk to Salina National Park and Bugibba fairly easily so there is always somewhere to have a stroll in the sunshine.
Thanks for a lovely time Ray; I look forward to a return visit sometime.
