Guest reviews for Squadron Base
"Location and cleanliness are excellent. Service by the owner/manager was responsive and friendly."
"No shower curtain and poor lighting in the bathroom. Less than one full roll of toilet paper was provided… not enough for one night/2 guests. WIFI was intermittent."
"Marvik is a great host. Everything went really smoothly, especially the very late check-in. The room was clean, and all the amenities were well-kept and working. The simple but tasty breakfast was also a nice touch. Thank you!"
"The only thing I missed in the room was a bottle of water. The rest was great as I said above so I don't have anything to add here."
"The host is really friendly and helpful. He responded to the messages really fast and was really helpful when the A/C was not functioning. It is a quiet place to stay and includes a simple breakfast."
"A/C turned off several times during my stay. Only until night, when the temperature went down, did the A/C work again. The location is not very close to the airport, so it's still quite a walk to the airport on foot, especially early in the morning."
"Nice and well-equipped accommodation with clear check-in and check-out instructions."

Guest reviews
"The gentlemen to booked us in was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Our room had a balcony which overlooked the harbour and was very beautiful both day and night. We had a great time."
"Excellent location very near the harbour in a quieter street. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Love the rooftop terrace with a view of the harbour. The bedroom, living room, kitchen were all well furnished and had everything we needed. Host was responsive and welcoming, checkin in checkout was quick and easy via the lockbox. We just parked in the big public parking area one street away so we didn't have to figure out whether street parking was allowed."
"Location is quiet, and we had the added bonus of being able to drop off our luggage early, as we landed that morning just after 10 am, the housekeepers were lovely and friendly. The apartment is well laid out, and we liked that it was lovely and cool, as the temperature outside was very warm! Air conditioning in both the lounge and bedroom were quiet, which we both appreciated. Lots of added extras - including washing up liquid, loo rolls, toiletries etc."
Michael The Nautical Nook
"The apartment was very clean, modern, and had all amenities. It was easy to get in, and to obtain all the information we required from the host."
Antoinette 161 Marinello Apartment
"The location was really good and the apartment was great. Clean and well appointed. Not great for sitting and relaxing, but everything else was very good. We loved the town and the waterfront. Our host was as good as it gets - great information and very responsive to any text I sent him. I don't think we could have found a better stay."
"Close to the harbor, very very spacious, comfortable and clean"
"Very clean, conve isn't walk to the water and restaurants."
Smith THE OSiRiS
"The apartment itself is super nice, everything you need for a vacation. Washer and dryer were super handy. Located near a few small beaches and right next to a bus station to Valletta."
Tatiana 161 Maranello Court, Apartment 1
