Glen Jones created and ran Julesy’s BnB, an award-winning boutique hotel in Malta, from 2014 to 2019. He restored a 400-year-old building in The Three Cities, expanded it from three bedrooms to five, handled the operations, bookings, food and drink, marketing and website himself, and reached an occupancy rate above 80%. The hotel earned multiple awards and international accolades, and he still counts several of his former guests around the world as friends.

Outside hospitality, Glen’s career has been in finance and real estate, including as a national business development manager for private and non-bank lenders. He holds qualifications in mortgage broking, real estate practice and property agency management.

His interests run through this guide: architecture, renovating property, travel, wine and good food. His own family has Maltese roots, which is part of what drew him to a 400-year-old house in The Three Cities. He wrote this guide to help people who dream of owning a boutique BnB avoid the expensive mistakes he made and saw. He is currently based in South Australia.
