There are some great things about this place. The outdoor space is amazing - it has a fantastic swimming pool which we spent hours enjoying. Qala is a really charming village and is only a 10 minute walk away. Kenneth was also very responsive, including late at night when we had a power cut and helped to arrange an excellent local chef to prepare a meal on our first night.
There were some aspects of our stay that we found disappointing. As indicated by others, the inside is tired and not very clean. For example, there is mould around the kitchen sink and the appliances and furniture are old and not fully functioning. Secondly, it felt like the owner was only prepared provide the minimum to make the stay passable. For example, only one bag each for recycling, general waste and organic waste was provided despite us staying a week and there being multiple bin collection days. We were particularly disappointed that, having assiduously put the correct litter out for collection each day, as we were checking out Kenneth demanded that we drove our remaining rubbish that had been collected since the last collections to a public skip miles away. It was very unpleasant to load rubbish into our rental car alongside our children. We stayed in two other Airbnbs in Malta this summer and they did not expect us to do this.
Finally, we found sleeping in the accommodation difficult. The two upstairs bedrooms are both east facing and so catch the sunrise and the curtains are very thin. Furthermore, and totally not the owner’s fault, the neighbour has a rooster which started making noise from about 2am every morning.
