FAQS

To secure a booking we require a 25% deposit to be paid.   We accept deposits by bank transfers and card payments.  We do not accept foreign.  For other methods of payment please ask.  The remaining 75% of the rent is payable by bank transfer at least 1 week before arrival or in cash on check-in or by card payments (3% charge applies for card payments.).

For any bookings or quotes or to ask about payment methods you can always contact us by email: info@getawaysmalta.com or Tel / Whats App: 00356 99062977

Check out time is set at 10:00 am, Check in time is between 15:00 to 22:00 (last flight landing time 20:00).

Late checkout is subject to availability and at an additional charge. Late check out is to be confirmed with the bookings department on info@getawaysmalta.com on check out day.

Check in after 22:00 hrs are done by a simple coded key lock system.  One of our hosts (representative) will visit you the following morning at a pre-agreed time to collect the remaining balance and refundable deposit (payable in cash) and to show you around the apartment. The host will also be available to suggest you places to visit, show you where are the shops, suggest and sell tours and events (at discounted prices) etc.

Check in with representative (host) after 22:00 hrs is also possible at an additional fee of €35.

Closer to the arrival date, you will receive an email with the details of how your check in will take place. In the apartment you will find a set of keys (depending on the number of persons) to the apartment,

It is in your interest to send us your flight information as soon as you have them.  This will help us plan the host`s (representative) day.  Failure to send us your flight information will mean that we cannot plan our day and that we will have to fit you in between other appointments.  This may lead to waiting times as priority will be given to guests that had provided us with full details.

We normally have a minimum 3 -night rental, but we can sometimes accommodate shorter visits if our bookings’ schedule allows. During the peak season we try to keep a minimum booking of 7 nights. Thus, most portals will be closed for shorter stays. However, we love to accommodate our guests, so shorter stays are also possible in the peak season subject to availability.

For long rental periods (over 3 weeks) the bills are never included and are calculated using the website of the supplier  www.smartutilities.com

 

For short stays (less than 3 weeks) on most portals bills are also not included.

Airbnb bookings and Bookings through our website have an included weekly limit for the utilities:

Electricity -100KWh per unit per week & 0.5cubic metres per person per week – for a 1 Bedroom Apartment

Electricity -150KWh per unit per week & 0.5cubic metres per person per week – for a 2 Bedroom Apartment

Electricity -200KWh per unit per week & 0.5cubic metres per person per week – for a 3 Bedroom Apartment

The cost for extra units is Euro 0.42 per KWh and extra water cubic meters at Euro 8.60

These limits are enough for a good comfortable stay.

The idea for these limits comes from the world`s need to avoid wastage, reduce our carbon foot print and to ensure we can provide competitive rental rates.  The more the consumption, the higher the utility rates.  This is set in order to discourage wastage.  Thus, these limits help us to stay in the lower bands and contribute to harm less harm our planet.

Please do not hesitate to ask if the water and electricity consumption is included before booking to avoid misunderstandings.

Our apartments have different configurations which are detailed in our website. The maximum number of occupants is agreed at time of booking.  Extra persons over the agreed limit will be asked to pay a surcharge.  Linen and Extra beds need to set up by our staff before your arrival.  Thus, telling us the final number of guests prior to arrival is very important.

Some apartments have double beds but mostly have twin beds (2 singles that can moved to become a double bed) Please inform us if you need specific bed set up.  Also, if you are a big group let us know the bed layout (ie how many beds in each room).  Also, some apartments have single and double sofa beds.  Extra beds can be added too.  All mattresses are of the best standard and thus with allergy protection. Extra bed mattresses can be wiped clean.  Mattress covers and pillow covers are changed regularly.  We also change our mattresses regularly.  Bed sheets, towels and bathroom mats are all washed in a professional laundry.

The security deposit will be returned on check out in cash after our host (representative) is satisfied that the apartment is left in good order.  In cases where the departure is before 9 am we will send the money by bank transfer or other electronic means (up to 2 days after your departure).  GetawaysMalta reserve the right to keep all or part of the damage deposit if the apartment is not left in good order, until all items found (eg. remote controls, keys etc.) and until the exact damage cost is calculated.   Any damage caused by accident should be reported immediately during the stay.  This will give us time to quote exact cost for a replacement.  If any unsocial behaviour is noted during the stay, the management may decide to delay by 2 days after departure the return of the deposit.

The apartment should be left in a tidy state and in good order. Excessive dirt and carelessness might incur an extra charge that will be deducted from the security deposit.   All items in the apartment should be in the same place they were found on check in to make it easy for the host(representative) to determine if all items are still in the apartment.

Our Terms & Conditions can be found here:

On your arrival you will be greeted by your representative.  He will show you how things work in the apartment and see that you have all you need for a comfortable holiday.  We provide a starter pack of toilet paper, soap and shower gel.  At least one garbage bag is supplied.  Plastic shopping bags (given with every purchase from supermarkets) can be used as garbage bags if more are required.

Our technical staff will do the utmost to replace (we have stores full of spares) or repair the appliance within the least possible time. However, in unforeseen circumstances, the appliance might require a 3rd party technical input. This unfortunately, is not available immediately. However, in such cases we try to provide an adequate replacement for the broken appliance. Also in such cases we cannot be held liable for any loss or claim resulting from any malfunctioning appliance and thus cannot provide any compensation.

Malta is a very secure and safe place. Cases of robbery are quite rare but caution is highly recommended.  Our properties do not have a safe. In our insurance policy, one’s belongings are not covered by the insurance policy. We strongly advise the purchase of travel insurance prior to arrival to cover for any loss.

are not allowed (also visiting pets are not allowed)

No smoking is allowed in the apartments.  Smoking is allowed in balconies and terraces with the doors shut so no smoke enters the apartment.

Some apartments have insect screens.  We suggest you buy a good mosquito repellent.  Due to Malta`s hot climate one must take extra care not to leave open food in the apartment as this attracts insects like ants, and cockroaches.  We do pest control on regular basis, however your help is required.  Cartoon boxes (often given from supermarkets as shopping bags) are not allowed inside the apartment as they may contain cockroach eggs.

Burning insect repellant is not allowed in the apartment due to the risk of fire.

Malta has an excellent health care system.  Close to all our apartments one can find pharmacies.  Most of them house a clinic with a doctor.  In Malta apart from the general hospital one can find private hospitals and smaller regional Clinics (owned by the government).  The emergency number in Malta is 112.  We advise that if you need a doctor you inform us immediately (on our 24/7 emergency phone numbers 00356 99486175 and 00356 99062977) so we can suggest the best place to receive care.  Malta has many exchange free healthcare agreements with many countries, so it is a good idea to check if it has one with your country.  We also suggest you update your European Health Insurance Card if you are an EU citizen.

If we need to enter the property for maitenace or to check something we will ask for your permission.
However our representatives and owners will keep the right, to enter the property without giving prior advice, if this is not practical or possible.  This applies especially to special circumstances or emergencies (for example if repairs need to be carried out due to electrical faults, water leakages, smell of smoke, fire, or any danger to third parties)

 

It also applies if we have reports or have reasonable suspicion that who rented the apartment is breaking any of these booking conditions, the owner’s own terms and conditions or any other terms that apply to your booking and/or the property.

The owner or its representative reserves the right to enter the property to inspect it including but not limited to where you have complained about the property.

 

For other unurgent matters you will be given reasonable notice first.

Regrettably no pets of any kind are permitted inside the common parts and apartments under any circumstances. You are liable for any infringement of this rule by your occupiers.

All information supplied by Us, is given in good faith and is based on information available at the time. All reasonable measures have been taken to ensure the accuracy of any statement made either in writing or otherwise, but we are not liable for any variation however caused.

We will not be liable for any delay, loss, damage or expenses incurred if your booking needs to be altered or cancelled or we are unable to perform our contractual obligations as a result of events beyond our reasonable control, which shall include but not be limited to events such as war, civil strife, terrorist activity, labour disputes, natural or man-made disaster, fire, flood, and adverse weather conditions.

The property hire cost does not include any personal insurance cover of any kind. It is recommended that insurance be taken out against cancellation. It is further strongly advised that personal accident and medical insurance is also taken out.

We operate a NO SMOKING POLICY. Smoking is not permitted in the accommodation or in the internal communal areas of the apartment blocks.  Smoking is allowed only in terraces or balconies and caution must be taken not to allow smoke inside.  If the apartment smells of smoke, a Euro 500 fine is imposed.  Also, this will lead to loss of the apartment as we will need to get it odourless before other guests arrive.

We take your privacy and confidentiality seriously. We collect information necessary for us to process your booking and give you a good service.

We use your information for internal statistical, internal marketing and administrative reasons.

We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to process your booking, like booking taxi or tours and cleaning purposes.

We do not send newsletters, or promotional material.
