I recommend Evolve 10/10. The house is stunning, but the community and experiences put together by the Evolve team there are what make it special. I spent 8 months with Evolve being my home base in Europe and it was truly amazing. Matt and Ola have done superb job creating a community of like minded hard working fun loving individuals who made it an experience like no other. I met some of the most amazing people and life long friends during my time there. The house has all the amenities. A swimming pool, pool, gym, ping pong, jacuzzi, co-work, etc., you are never bored. And you will meet a fantastic group of people to enjoy so much more of what Malta has to offer. Whether it is talking business, having skillshares, scuba diving, catamaran parties, or just kicking back having a bbq poolside at the house you will meet the best people to do everything with. I already have travels planned with some of the friends I made there in South East Asia before I will head back to Malta in April. Looking forward to being back, thanks again Matt and Ola for creating such an awesome place.

I originally booked to stay at Evolve for a month and ended up staying 13 months! This was my first coliving experience and exceeded my expectations. It was exactly what I needed for moving to a new country without knowing anyone, and I would recommend this place to anyone else doing the same. The community is truly amazing. Everyone is so warm, friendly, and welcoming - within a week, it felt like I was part of a family. Some people stayed more long term like me, while others stayed just a month or two, which was a good mix. Many also returned because they enjoyed it so much the first time round. The vibe changes when people come and go but there was never a bad group. I've made lasting friendships and I really can't emphasize enough how incredible this experience has been because of the people. The location is great, mid way between Sliema and St Julians. You can walk 20ish minutes downhill to either if it's not the height of summer (note: uphill on the way back!). San Gwann is quiet and there are plenty of shops/cafes around, including supermarkets and grocery stores. There are several bus stops nearby. Bolt/Uber is good value and can even be cheaper than buses if you're in a big group. Cleaners clean the common areas 6 days a week, which is definitely necessary in a house of this size and with so many people. Personally, one thing I really appreciated was that I became a cat mom during my stay and Matt and Ola supported that. To give a well-rounded review, I also need to be honest about the negatives - nowhere is perfect. Things break a lot: dishwashers, laundry facilities, Internet, vaccuum cleaners, pool filter, jacuzzi, coffee machine, fireplace, air conditioners, electricity outages, rain through the windows... sometimes it felt like as soon as one thing is fixed, it sets something else off. This isn't Matt and Ola's fault - some of this is just how things in Malta are built and getting good labour to properly fix the issues is harder than you think, however it was frustrating over time. For internet, it's best to come with your own backup or get a good data package, just in case. Noise: the way the house is built means that noise really travels. The doors can slam and get really noisy, especially when it's windy. Also, beds so squeaky. So. Squeaky. Mosquitos: they love me; they also love the house. Winter is fine, but from May-November they are around. If you're prone to bites, make sure you keep your room windows and doors closed, especially early morning and evening/night, and pick up spray, burners, candles, plug-ins etc. Mosquito nets would be a great upgrade. Having experienced a full year, I can say that it's a very different experience in the winter vs summer but both were great and had their benefits. Summer was all about bbqs, pool dips, dancing on the roof, late night drinks etc. Winter was quieter with cozy movie nights, more shared meals, game nights, activities like lazer tag and escape rooms, and hiking on the weekends. Overall, I loved my stay at Evolve. I'll cherish the memories and friendships made, keep in touch, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Highly reccommended 👌🏻 in love with the house, especially pool area. Fully proffesional management, that keep pretty high standard for maltese conditions. Community warm and welcoming, felt comfortable really quickly. experiance worth every penny.

This was my first time at a co living and I'm sure those who would be nervous or unsure to try the experience should definitely give evolve a try. I had one of the largest rooms in the house with its own terrace, kitchenette, and bathroom. It's great that the house has options for those that want a bit more of their own space while taking advantage of the other benefits of co living, as well as cheaper options without. The house itself is as pictured, massive and beautiful with great chill out spots throughout. I pretty much lived at the beautiful pool. The common areas were kept well cleaned and maintained, and best of all if there was anything that needed fixing or maintaining Matt and Ola immediately took care of it upon request. In my month there I saw them continually improving the house and taking real pride in creating a space for residents, from building a pool pergola to buying new comfortable chairs for the Coworking space to just painting things! Not to mention on top of everything else, the feeling of community and getting to know people that the place offers. I made great friends both in White House and the 2nd house they own in Sliema, as there are weekly dinners to bring the two households together. While there are no events planned it's usually easy to find others at the house to do something or plan your own event (I planned a catamaran rental trip for the houses that was awesome). For those that want a new experience, that want to connect with other fascinating individuals from around the world, and that aren't afraid to learn new things about themselves, what a cool and unique experience this is that I would wholeheartedly recommend! Thanks again to Matt and Ola for their dedication to this project and for also just being cool people :)

If you're reading this and considering going to Malta and spending time at Evolve, do it. In my six months at Evolve I didn't meet a single person who didn't come out of the experience feeling like it wasn't some of the nicest memories and best connections they've ever made. You'll meet a community of welcoming people who are always up to something fun. You'll go on adventures. You'll come out of it with a network of like-minded friends for life. Matt and Ola are one of a kind when it comes to running this kind of business. They both work extremely hard to make sure guests are happy, and they're generally just great people. PS — if you have questions and want to reach out, feel free. ✌️

Amazing coliving community with incredible people, would highly recommend. Ola and Matt have created a warm and welcome atmosphere at the house, always on hand with any queries or issues I had, and made it easy to experience all Malta has to offer. There's a wide variety of amenities including office space, swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym area, table tennis and pool table etc Looking forward to my return visit!
