I and my family had a very terrible experience with the hosts and this property and here is why;
This apartment is located in a very remote part of Malta and to travel to the capital of Valetta or any point of interest by bus, takes an hour or longer each way.
Unfortunately, the apartment is located in the building surrounded by ongoing new construction / demolition and construction noise can be heard from 8 am in the morning till 5 pm.
On our last day of stay, we decided to stay in with our 5 year old child to get some rest before a very early flight next day, however we were awakened around 8 am by heavy construction noise coming from the apartment above this unit, which sounded like sledgehammers and heavy drilling which was so loud that it shook the ceiling and the wall and scared and traumatized our small child.
I contacted the host Joseph, who responded right away and upon further inquiry informed us that his upstairs neighbors had "an emergency" repairs that needed to be done and there is nothing that anyone can do about it.
Unfortunately, Joseph did not offer any resolution of this issue or an alternative lodging for the day, even though I informed him of our situation with an early flight next day and I even sent the host videos showing the heavy construction tools noise.
We had no other choice but to take.a taxi and leave the apartment for the entire day, contrary to our plans to stay in and to get some much needed rest before a very early flight next day.
While staying in this apartment we also experienced all type of noises throughout the 5 nights, such as upstairs neighbors making noise and moving furniture in the middle of the night, lack of sufficient amount of water pressure and hot water, one bedroom not being equipped with air conditioning (while the temperatures were in the 30 C outside).
Also, if air conditioning units or washing machine is used, the electric meter would quickly get depleted forcing the guests to deposit extra money into the electric meter.
To top things off, when I contacted AIRBNB about the issue with this stay, Airbnb informed me that Joseph refused to offer any resolution and instead in retaliation he made false claims about the apartment being left by us in unacceptable condition...
Fortunately, Airbnb did resolve the issue and also were able to determine that false counter- claims made by Joseph, were false and retaliatory by their nature.
I and my family just started using airbnb this year and while our 2 first airbnb stays were very pleasant and hosts were wonderful, this stay and hosts were a huge disappointment that has partially ruined our 5 day vacation stay on Malta.
