Project information

Your accommodation

Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.

You will stay on a student campus located right next to the University of Malta, in shared rooms (2 people, same sex). Each room includes Wi-Fi, a shared bathroom, and air conditioning. The campus also offers common areas to encourage interaction with other participants, including a cafeteria and even a swimming pool.

Depending on your internship placement, travel time may vary, but all placements located in the city are accessible on foot or by bus in around 30 minutes.
