Accommodation in Malta
Homestay
This gives you more opportunity to speak English and to get to know the Maltese way of life. Host family accommodation consists of shared accommodation and is inclusive of breakfast and an evening meal. A packed lunch and a single room can be booked at an extra cost. Host families are:
- Carefully selected
- Licensed by MTA (Malta Tourism Authority)
- Continuously monitored
- Centrally located
- Within walking distance of the school
- English Speaking
On registration, full details of the host family will be given to the student. Our families are all licensed by the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA). Both the MTA and Linguatime carry out spot checks to ensure that standards are maintained.
We request that the family has a good standard of spoken English and that their home is kept in a clean and orderly state, that a fan / heater is provided and that bed linen is changed at least once a week, towels twice a week. The host family does help out with the laundry but students also have access to a washing machine and cleaning materials
With regards to food, breakfast is usually a light meal and consists of juice, cereal, toast with butter or jam and tea or coffee. The packed lunch is optional and is made up of two sandwiches, mineral water and fruit while dinner is a three-course meal inclusive of dessert and mineral water. Dinner is served at around 7 - 8pm so that students can be free to go out in the evening, either alone or to an activity organised by the school.
