My first night on the Camino and three weeks later I’m yet to find anywhere as good.
Comfortable, clean and quite. Dinner was delicious. The host was brilliant for getting everyone to introduce themselves. Breakfast was yummy too. Lunch made for the day following day was also an option.
Highly recommend breaking up the first day as the hills are steep!!

Laurent really cares about the pilgrim experience, and it shows. He begins with a comprehensive introduction on how albergues work, which can seem a little over the top, but means everyone is prepared even if they've never stayed in a hostel before (perfect for anyone unsure about shared accommodation!)

The dorms are lovely, spotlessly clean and comfortable, and if the weather allows there is a terrace with a fabulous view to enjoy a drink or two before dinner.

Dinner is a highlight. Not only is Laurent an excellent chef, preparing delicious local food, he ensures everyone gets to know one another, as the friends you meet here you will keep bumping into.

Breaking the stage into two days makes it much more manageable, plus you get the bonus of early morning views across the mountains (weather permitting!). Highly recommended!

Every other albergue pales in comparison to Borda—it is an exceptionally comfortable, welcoming, well-appointed respite with charm and solitude. Lorenzo is the quintessential host; his culinary expertise is exceptional. His “rules” may seem a bit over the top, but they make sense for improving the pilgrim experience.

We originally booked here because it would give us two days in the Pyrenees plus it included dinner and then breakfast.

Wow! That was a lucky decision. Imagine a place where a dozen people came together at the beginning of a great journey. The albergue was spotless and organized. I’m not sure what I was expecting from the guide books, but this was wonderful.

Unless you really want to get through the Pyrenees, book a spot here and take the extra day.

The host is wondeful, the location beautiful and the food is amazing. The views are fantastic. The whole place was spotless clean and the beds are comfortable and have a curtain. Book early if you plan to stay.

I had heard great things about this place. So, I tried to book it. However, it was full. Completely full. Yet, the host was willing to offered me a sofa bed, but I was too late to say “yes”. Later on I ask him for a recommendation for food potions. He was very sweet and gave me suggestions. I would definitely book tho law in advance next time.m, so I could personally experience all the great things I heard :)
