@Mi26 A few things going on, all related to Covid:
- Current travel restrictions, as well as the possibility that old ones might be abruptly reinstated, are severely impacting international travel in Europe, while domestic travel is probably not a thing in a country as small as Malta
- Rooms in shared houses are not desirable to most prospective guests due to social distancing and mask requirements
- Many hotels have reduced their rates and are often comparable in price to Private Room listings
- If you've reduced access to shared facilities and offer fewer amenities due to Covid, you've got a much tougher sell on your hands
Homestay hosts just have to ride this one out; listings like yours will have a longer road to recovery than Entire Home listings, which are booming this year.
