- PSPrudence· June 3rd, 2025Our tour guide Chantelle was exceptional. Her knowledge of Malta's history, culture, flora and fauna and current life was more than comprehensive. Her passion, kindness and care was greatly appreciated by all on the tour. The only downfall for this tour was the poor quality accommodation on the island of Malta. The rooms were tiny (we didn't even have enough space to open our suitcases) - couples were given the same size rooms as singles. When you are staying at a hotel for 5 days, you should not be without tea and coffee making facilities, or a fridge - especially when there is no room service or a communal area to make yourself tea and coffee 24/7. All in our group agreed we would happily have sacrificed our stunning ocean views for a kettle, fridge and more space.Our bathroom had major problems - the toilet lifted from the floor at the base, the wall tiles finished inches from the door frame exposing the insulation and the hairdryer base lifted off the wall when you tried to get the hairdryer off. We asked for a room change within 20 minutes of getting to our room and realising it was far from acceptable for 2 people. Our guide Chantelle was very supportive of our situation and helped us deal with the hotel staff who even tried to tell us we should have ordered a bigger room. That was not within our power, that was Explore's job. We had even contacted the hotel 3 days prior to our arriving, to say we were on the end of a 6 week journey and had a large amount of luggage (we had booked an extra night there after the tour as we couldn't get a flight out on the day our tour ended.) It took 2 days and many conversations with the hotel duty manager to get the room changed. The second room was much better. Honestly, we loved the tour itself and the guide but the hotel in Malta wasn't much better than a youth hostel. The size and quality of the room and its lack of basic amenities really soured a dream trip.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
