I would have no idea how Joanne's accommodation compares to what we were checked in to as we did not manage to stay in the tower house. Our stay was cancelled 48hrs before travel due to a complication out of their control we were told a place had been reserved for two of our four nights as a substitution. On arrival we discovered that it was due to plumbing and should be ready tho we remain unconvinced for the remaining two nights of our stay. The house we were to stay In for two nights was dirty, air conditioning did not work and was unacceptable. On complaining we were advised that they would get fans in the next day. In summer heat with small children and promise of mosquitoes if we left the windows open we felt this was not acceptable. The other alternative for one night, now being expected to move around several times during our short stay, was a hotel room for us to bunk in two couples and our kids together. After several phone calls and asking for a refund we found a hotel in Valletta.
We are disappointed at a horrible start to our stay in Malta. We were stranded at the house for over an hour waiting for a taxi to take us to our hotel. And even tho this cancellation was not made by us but by the host (due to their house being unavailable last minute) our booking refund was given minus a booking fee for something we did not request. I will never use air bnb again after this experience.
