Electricity in Malta runs on a 230 volts/50-hertz system, with a three-pin rectangular G plug system.

In the living room of each apartment you will find an adaptor like this:

If your charger is not compatible with it, guests are encouraged to travel with an adaptor, however, these are easily found locally in the stores.

Tap water in Malta is safe to drink, however it is salty so it is not good in taste.  The public water service is in charge of filtering the water by utilizing both Reverse Osmosis plants and ground water production sites.

Even if it is filtered, its taste is not good and it does not contain the proper nutrients that we usually find in bottled water.

For more information please visit:

https://www.wsc.com.mt/about-us/water-production-distribution/

It is recommended that you buy bottled water from the supermarkets or shops.

Waste separation is mandatory in Malta and Gozo as from 14 April 2023.

Please always check if there are other bags on the street when put your garbage bag. If there are no other bags on the street,  please do not leave it on the street and put back in the apartment to take out again on the right day.
