Malta was lovely but the villa was definitely not as expected considering the price we paid.
Igor, the host, was very abrupt and at times rude when we asked for anything.
We were left without hot water for 2 nights when the boiler broke and left with the use of 1 toilet between 9 people. Igor actually wanted to switch the water off all together until he could get it fixed. It was only when my father in law had a look and told Igor how to isolate the boiler we were at least left with cold water and use of a toilet. Igor refused any compensation and simply stated it wasn’t his fault and he wouldn’t be giving us anything.
The photos of the villa look lovely but there are broken plant pots in the garden and the garden was overgrown so not useable. There was not enough cutlery in the kitchen for all guests staying, when I asked Igor for more he told me he would bring some more but never did.
There were no umbrellas around the pool even though 2 are shown in the pictures, and when I asked for an umbrella we were provided with 1 broken one.
The football table in the ‘games’ room had one leg broken/missing so was dangerous for my children to use, and Igor refused to take it away.
There were no bbq utensils even though they were stated to be included so made having a bbq impossible.
There is a deck area around the pool which was taped off so I am assuming is unsafe but a strip of tape is not great when we have a 3 year old.
The villa only had air conditioning in 3 out of 4 bedrooms, so my husband and I slept on the floor in a room with our children as it was just too hot without it. The air conditioning in the 3rd bedroom also did not work properly.
All in all it spoilt what was supposed to be a lovely first family holiday after covid.
