Hi, I'm an EU citizen, and I'm considering moving to Malta to look for a job as a hotel receptionist.

I know I won't get rich doing this job, but I would like to ask whether it's possible to live on a hotel receptionist's salary while being able to afford a small studio apartment (without roommates), pay the bills, buy groceries, maintain a gym membership, and maybe even save a little money at the end of the month.

Hi All, middle aged couple coming to Malta in late August, I jumped on this Reddit to get an idea of the island as we have never visited before.

We are now worried as reading some of the posts here it seems as if Malta is not in a good place. We are prepared (and used to) the intense heat but what’s worrying are the power cuts and the pollution, is it really that bad and while are staying in decent quality hotels, we are just worried about the overall experience will be a letdown, hopefully not as Malta has been a bucket list destination for some time now and looks beautiful from the outside.

Let's not forget that moment when the power went out during a penalty 5 years ago.

Was that also due to climate change? What has happened since then, and what has been done to prevent power cuts? Do we need more generators again, disturbing neighbourhoods?

Coming from the USA. Travel brochures are enticing. But what are the real must-see sights? Thanks.

Frances Chircop lesta li titlef 100 euro + ikel minn gol fridge u freezer biex ma tivvutax partit iehor.

Seriously, USE THEM! ↔️

And it's not only on roundabouts! People just stop in front of you and aggressively turn.

It's annoying having to guess where the car is going, and even dangerous. Why such a laziness/negligence??

💣‼️💥 We all know what the situation is like, and I know that some people may not agree with me, but I am simply trying to help us cope during this heatwave and the ongoing power cuts.
For families of four or six, perhaps we could try staying together in one room and switching on only one air conditioner. We can also manage without televisions for a while. At least by doing our part and using less electricity, we may help reduce pressure on the system and avoid further overloads and power cuts.
Even with street lighting, instead of switching on four lamps, perhaps only two could be used.
I do not know what else can be done, but this situation is truly depressing.
Please share so we can spread the word.

Hey all, we plan on taking a short trip in November with two young kids - 4 and 10 months, but we cannot decide where to go.

Preferably somewhere which is kid friendly, short flights and not too rainy (but a bit of rain is fine).

Any recommendations please? (Not Barcelona, Valencia, Vienna, Sicily or London as we went there last year).

Hello everyone , comming to Malta in next few days with my partner , mainly for some nice views , the sea , good walks and chill.

Since ive never been to Malta ever before i would like to get to know some information about the one dat trips via get your guide site.

I have something on my mind already but is it okay to book one trip for one day

For example
( first day to see blue lagoon , another day st.peter pool etc etc)

Any information would be very useful for my first stay.

Also if u have any recommendation let me know

With that I mean: only essential things, no restaurants, and avoiding the businesses where TCNs are mostly employed.

Would that make a difference? Or tourists are more than enough with their spending to not diminish the amount of workers they want to import?

Hello Malta meta se tqumu minn fuq il loki u tifthu ghajnejkom??

Hi Malta when tf are you going to wake up and open your eyes??

Malta is a narcissist's paradise. It's no wonder the island attracts literal shit from all over the world when the locals act like goats, getting wasted and treating politics like a football match🙈😂

Monday, we had no internet at all in the morning thanks to Melita, then after it was fixed around 5/6pm electricity issue became around 9-10pm , was fixed around 11pm but went off again, had to sleep with no fan and lost alot of sweat which is honestly just terrible, it came back around 10;30

Then again the same day the electricity went off at 6:30pm and haven't been on since

No discount at the electricity bill at all? After all this, + all the food the is going to waste

This is unadaptable, hope we get some justice

Note, for everyone living with similar experience please do proper hydration while we survive in this type of situation, water is not enough drink sport drinks and fruits like watermelon, and eat some salt with food, coconut water and milk is also good, and mineral water is good as well

TLDR: 80002224 on website is 'wrong' (source: enemalta customer care), 80072224 is right but also not free phone and no reply. Reporting a power fault through the website results in a success message but no acknowledgement SMS is sent and report doesn't reach the internal system that should be made aware of it. Your best bet is an inside acquaintance (like everything else on this forsaken island...)

Like many unfortunate citizens on the island, yesterday was our turn to suffer a blackout at 8pm. Of course it wasn't planned but it was also not among the numerous areas on the outage map. Further investigations from the balcony and roof resulted in our neighbours having power whilst we did not - no power on the enemalta meter so not an internal issue. The number on the website under fault reports, 80002224 was dropping the line immediately upon trying to connect. The customer care was outside service hours so no luck there. I proceeded to file an online report which the website confirmed as submitted.

I later saw an option to check your report status so I accessed that page, but you needed a number sent in the SMS acknowledgement. Did I receive an SMS? No. Which means that the report submission was not actually completed. So I resubmitted the report afresh. Again, no SMS nor email acknowledgement.

Meanwhile we learnt that another house down the street also had no power, suggesting that the problem was in one of the phases, thus not every house was affected.

We packed up and went to cook, eat, and sleep over at my in-laws, like refugees in our own country.

This morning we got in touch with the other affected neighbours. No power yet at 5am and a couple of other garages were also affected. They called someone they knew at Enemalta and it turns out that no report had been received. None of my two "successfully submitted" reports were received. We proceeded to call the daytime customer care and when we reported the whole story they corrected us in the number to use: it's 80072224 not 80002224. I checked the website again while still on the call and pointed out that then the wrong number was published on their website (https://www.enemalta.com.mt/report-power-cut/). Even a Google search brings up that same wrong number (80002224) on the search results for two of their pages : customer care and report a fault (lookup 'enemalta power cut' on Google). We had to insist that a complaint is to be fwded vis-à-vis the wrong number as they would not take action on it.

Did the new number 80072224 work its magic? We went a step further, we got advised that this was a normal toll number (not a free phone, even though it starts with 800) but then the line hangs up immediately. Repeat attempts did not succeed either.

We then managed to get the old enemalta number 21223601 where we managed to connect and learn that a report had been received that morning (probably our neighbour's internal contact) and technicians were working on it (as they are on all the other major problem areas listed along the power outage map marquee)... so yeah, I'll hold my breath.It's 10am...

Edit: I forgot to mention that enemalta Facebook messenger replied a bot who claimed that since there were already reports in Żabbar, a new one could not be made.

Hi everyone. We're a small team behind MyRent.mt, a site built to reach people from other countries who are planning their move to Malta and already searching for a place.

I'm posting because we receive a good number of apartment requests from abroad (emails and texts from people actively looking), but we don't have enough listings to match them. So if you're a landlord or agent with a property that may be harder to sell here on Facebook, you're welcome to put it on MyRent.mt too.

It's completely free, your clients don't need to register for anything, and you can promote your agency or private business at no cost. Add your contact number and that's it.

We are open for any suggestion and feedback. We are trying to keep this website as transparent and feedback friendly.

Tghid x'tghid, jekk izzomm ma' partit politiku u tiddefendih akkost ta' kollox, anke meta hu korrot, inkompetenti jew hazin int liba, u haqqek min jghajrek Libarista.

I was thinking how after national disasters governments around the world provide for basic needs. I didn't sleep for two nights, I'm overheating, it seems I'm on a survival mode. I changed all my day to day plans, I'm becoming a danger to myself and others because of sleep deprivation.Do you think the government should provide chill areas and beds for sleeping in for example air-conditioned schools for the ones affected.

Booming economy, increase in population over the years and to boot 3 years ago the same thing happened.

What in the everlasting fuck have they been doing. Not fit for the position they hold (yes including minister). My god the incompetence.

Then there are the PN. These absolute twats are shouting for compensation - fuck off and fix the damn problem, stop trying to make yourself look good. Stop opposing and actually do something for the good of the people. I don't know how i don't claim to be an expert in this field but im sure both sides have their so called experts (fml).

A genuine shout out to the enemalta people out playing whack a mole in this heat.

€25K (and counting!) raised to buy a generator for abandoned and/or sickly cats. And in less than 24 hours.

Seeing this generosity coming from people with a platform whilst others shirk off responsibility genuinely bumped up my faith in humankind. Gigantic kudos to James and all who donated ❤️

Hey, I put this together a few days ago with the initial aim of giving users an easier way to keep up with the current electricity supply challenges. At first I relied on the official Enemalta feed for unplanned and planned outages. It soon became clear that for some reason many outages were not being mapped on the Enemalta site, so I added functionality that allows users to submit reports about ongoing disruptions.

I hope it's useful, feedback and requests for improvements and/or features welcome.
