What travelers are saying

"THE ABSOLUTE WORST. Dishonest, incompetent, fraudulent. We booked a trip to Europe with them, and it was a mess from start to finish. The flight that we paid extra for (it's worth the extra money for me to fly nonstop) was changed by the airline to include a stop, but Gate 1 wouldn't refund the extra amount they charged me for it. They also refused to call Delta about the flight change - even though Delta told me that all Gate 1 had to do was call to request the change back to a nonstop flight for me (at no extra charge). After I called Gate 1 out on this, they suddenly claimed that they HAD called Delta, but that they didn't know when and didn't know who they spoke with, and they couldn't call with me on the line. They also promised me a $450 credit to make up for the extra night of hotel I could not be used because of their incompetence, and said they would apply it to my account. However, they did not actually issue that credit. When I brought it up, they told me that since I'd made final payment prior to their issuance of the credit, they weren't going to give it to me anymore. Excuse me, but YOUR inability or failure to do what YOU promised to do is not my fault or my problem. This is further evidence of incompetence, dishonesty, and fraud. Gate 1 clearly does not care one bit about their customers or their reputation. Gate 1 should go out of business. I'm reporting them to the various state agencies for their dishonest business practices."

"UnCruise is an amazing dream!! The crew, the sales team, the office team, all go out of their way to make sure your experience is unforgettable. We were on the August 1, 2020 cruise. Even tho things didn’t go quite the way we planned, UnCruise was unbelievable. We will be back. UnCruise was my first ever cruise. They will be the only company we ever cruise with."

Additional details

Is Malta Expensive?

Malta is pretty average across Western European cities. If you’re comparing it to the likes of London, Paris, and Geneva, it’s more affordable than the major cities. The costs seem pretty similar to Spain and Italy, but compared to Eastern Europe, it’s fairly expensive.

Summer months are going to be more expensive than off-season or even winter months, so it may be worth it to consider going in the cooler months to get a better deal. While it may be a bit too chilly to swim in the water, winter averages are often in the upper 50s to low 60s.

What Language do they Speak in Malta?

There are two official languages in Malta: Maltese and English. Both are spoken fairly fluently across the country. Among other Maltese people, you’re likely to hear them talking in Maltese. For tourists, English is well known and often spoken.

Common phrases in Malta

Locals always appreciate it when visitors make an attempt to speak their local language! Of course, they don’t expect you to be fluent, but a little effort goes a long way.

Here are some of the common Maltese phrases:

Helloà Hello (Pronounced hello)

Welcomeà Merhba (Pronounced Mer-heba)

Good Morningà Bongu (Pronounced Bon-ju)

How are you?à Kif Int? (Pronounced Kiff int)

What is your name?à  X’jismek? (Pronounced Shee-yis-mek)

My name isà Jisimni (Pronounced Yis-im-nee)

Pleaseà Jekk joghgbok (Pronounced Yek yoh-jbok)

Thank youà Grazzi (Pronounced Grats-ee)

Do you speak English?à Titkellem bl-Ingliz (Pronounced Tit-kell-em blin-gleez)

I don’t understandà  Ma nifhimx (Pronounced Maa ni-fimsh)

What is the weather like in Malta?

Overall, the weather in Malta is pretty ideal year-round. Winter averages in the low 60s, with spring and fall averaging 70 degrees. Summer is pretty hot, but you’re on an island! Cool down from the summer highs of around 90 degrees by taking a dip in the Mediterranean.

Summer boasts hot sunny days. Winter brings lots of rainy days. Late Spring and Early fall bring enough sunny days and warm enough sea temperature for comfortable swimming.

Best time to go to Malta

The best time to go to Malta is easily the summer. There are many outdoor activities, great beach time, and plenty of water activities. The water is warm, everything is open (some activities shut down in the winter due to weather and lack of visitors). This brings a lot of visitors. If you’re trying to still soak in the great weather but don’t want to deal with as many people, consider a trip in May or October.

Things are opening up for peak season (or getting ready to shut down in the fall), weather is still sunny and pleasant, and you get better prices than summer. If you aren’t requiring water activity, April and early November are still ideal times to go. Winter is the off-season, and reasonably so. Cooler temperatures and increased rainfall results in a drop of visitors. Winds are high.

Christmas is an exciting time to visit, as is February for the annual carnival. If you don’t mind getting a little wet, Malta is still worth a visit in the winter. If you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday, the best time to visit Malta is going to be in the fall.

What to Pack for Malta

-Sun protection. The sun is hot and Malta has over 300 days of sunshine. Be prepared by bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good sun hat to keep your body covered and protected.

-Closed toe shoes. Especially if you want to go out and walk in the countryside, you’ll be met with limestone and shrubs. Not ideal for flip flops or other open-toed shoes.

-Flip flops – on another note, bring a pair of open-toe shoes. You’re on an island. Flip off the flops and enjoy some beach time. If you’re not on the sand, at least you’re prepared for warmer weather, where you want your feet to feel free.

-Cover ups - Some Malta sites require that shoulders and knees are covered, so make sure you bring a shirt or scarf that covers your shoulders, and a skirt, dress, or pants that cover your knees. If you’re dressed inappropriately, you may be refused entry.

-Layers - Malta can be sunny and warm, but chilly when the sun drops. Since you’re near the water, you can feel the breeze, making it feel colder than it actually is. A light jacket is smart to bring if you’re taking a ferry or boat ride.
