We stopped here for lunch in the middle of a long drive and the food was brilliant! The salmon seemed so fresh as if it was caught that morning! In combination with the avocado, it was the highlight of our meal

Absolutely terrible. Described as a hotel (owner has since admitted in writing venue is ‘a hostel’) but upon arrival no staff and no guests with the doors locked. Collapsed tents on the lawns, fridges gathering dust in large half collapsed tent with empty bottles inside, dusty tables, shivelled up flowers (clearly a wedding that was held there in 1992) dog poo over the lawn, underwear on a collapsed dryer, fish in pond looked like they were breathing their last. Inside like a scene from The Shining. Empty, all inside doors locked, no food, no service, no staff, no access to fridge, no fresh drinking water… after driving 400kms! The only thing greeting us was an echo! Creepy! I shouted hello for about 10 minutes but… nothing… if you want any of the services offered in their misleading ad (hotel/hostel/dump?) then don’t expected it! Finally they are breaking Spanish law by not checking in guests… an absolute legal requirement. First time I’ve ever gone to a hotel and told to open up myself, no check in, expected to locate and show myself into the room and to stay the night in an absolutely empty hotel (sorry, hostel) Avoid like the plague! We packed up after seeing all this and went to another establishment which advertises as a hotel and acts as such! On the up side, I did get a full body workout swiping flies away from my face in the empty dining room as I sat in bewilderment at this, quite frankly, bizarre and disturbing scene (the owner has since claimed they are in the country and expected flies) I hate to break the news to you but I come from a farm AND in a country where they spread slurry for six months of the year almost beside my house. I’ve never seen so many flies INSIDE in all my born days (particularly when the place was locked up???!!!) Switch on the fly catchers when you basically walk away and leave guests abandoned and alone. We still wouldn’t have stayed but just a wee tip if anyone is mad enough to book with you ever again!

This is not a joke. ||||The owner advertises this as a 'Hotel' but less than 24 hours before you arrive he messages you to advise that there are no staff and that he will leave a key for you. Someone will turn up in the morning to provide breakfast. How bizarre we thought, but it was too late to cancel and we had a 400km drive ahead of us. ||We arrived around 2pm and retrieved the key from the lock box and let ourselves in...and then quickly locked the door behind us. The place was completely deserted, absolutely no staff on site to carry out their legal duty to check us in and take copies of our ID etc for local Police. There were no other guests, contrary to what the owner later claimed and there was only 1 key in the lock box. All internal doors were locked with the exception of those leading to the stairs. We went up to the room, it was nice enough to be fair, no air-conditioning, just a ceiling fan, but it all felt quite wrong - a bit like The Shining. The dining room downstairs was just a collection of unmade-up dining tables. There were also an excessive amount of flies strangely. I texted the owner to ask if there was a corkscrew available, be he replied there wasn't. ||My wife was feeling very uneasy by this stage, as was I, particularly when two casual callers tried to access the hotel at different times but were rebuffed by the locked front door - so very glad I locked it. We decided to take a walk around outside, again having to lock up the 'Hotel' front door behind us, which really sealed the deal. The grass was not mowed, decorative graveled areas needed a good weeding, there was a largish marquee with a collapsed awning lying at it's entrance, dog poo on the grass and a burst rubber ring pool toy just lying on the ground. A wander around the side of the building revealed a tipped over washing line with someone's underpants forlornly lying in the dirt. ||I could go on, but by this stage we had decided to leave and booked into another lovely hotel in Berga called La Cabana, with a fantastic welcoming owner and great facilities. ||I informed the owner that we would not be staying, that we did not consider what we found to meet the description advertised and that we would not be paying for the experience. He argued, made sarcastic comments, mocked our request for a corkscrew and claimed we booked a room and that is what he provided. He also claimed that it is not a 'Hotel', it is a 'Hostel' and insisted that he would be taking payment. Probably the most bizarre travel experience of my life to date. I'd avoid this 'Hostel' if I were you

There is something very very sad about this place. The hotel is really beautiful, an old building with modern beautiful extensions. It's clean and the room was big and comfortable. There are lovely seating areas inside. But we felt soooo uncomfortable here, it's terribly sad. There are just no guests, no diners in the restaurant (on a Friday night in August in peak season) and very few staff. There were 3 of us staying, us and 1 other lady but only 2 of us for dinner on a Friday night in peak season in August! When we arrived, we got a very strange welcome from a waiter who seemed surprised guests were coming eventhough we had said we'd be arriving at 3pm. He found the receptionist who was lovely and trying her best but the place was empty. They advertised drinks at the bar from 5.30- 8, we came down at 7.30 for a pre dinner drink to find the place empty and we were locked in! There wasn't a sinner there, the water cooler was empty, there were just cups and saucers but no tea/coffee facilities, dead flowers on the table (could you argue they were dried flowers? Not really, they just looked dead) everything was locked up and felt strange and eerie. Who locks their guests in?? We had a key but it felt strange to be locked in. Eventually we noticed people at the pool (think large paddling pool) and went to ask them if they knew what was going on and where the staff were. It turns out they were the staff! In the pool! They reluctantly came out to serve us drinks and dinner, note we had pre-booked in for dinner. The very sad thing is the food is delicious, the place has so much potential but no hospitality, no guests and a strange/eerie feeling. I felt so sorry for the staff who are trying. This place feels like a wedding/large function venue not a hotel. It felt like we were an inconvenience. I'm sad about it all, we were so looking forward to our stay. Hopefully this is just a glitch and the place is quiet in August but it felt very very strange. Such a disappointment

Amazing service, very quite and atmospheric hotel👍👍👍 wonderful breakfast and dinner🤌

if I would be able to give 6 stars, I would. Very nice people nd service, extremely comfortable bed, good food, it’s the 2nd time I’m staying over and definitely won’t be the last. The environment is very quiet and full of nice places to discover in nature. Highly recommendable!

Great location, YES! Great looking hotel, YES! BUT! Definitely a very big disappointment for us for below reasons - 1- The room did not have towel for hands and for feet. There were only two shower towels and two hair towels, that's it! so we had to use one of our hair towels for drying our hands, the other one for our feet because there was nothing provided in the shower. 2- The gels and the champoos were almost empty and we did not know which one is for which purpose because they don't state anything, you just need to don't mind and use it randomly. I wanted to take a picture but honestly, I forgot. 3- Internet connection is just HORRIBLE! It was not possible to watch a movie smoothly when you want to relax at night, it was frozing all the time. You cannot even share a lovely video on your social media because the internet connection doesn't allow it, I mean you need to try and try and try. The poor internet connection was already rated low in the hotel's booking.com page but we didn't think it could be this bad. 4- The room walls were SUPER thin and whoever gave us the room did a good job by putting us in the middle of two rooms where in one room there was a family with a baby, and the other room was a family with a little kid. I had to sleep with my headphones and listen to music so that I could sleep. On top of that, guests upstairs were moving their table all the time which I could even hear from my headphones. This is how you can understand how the walls are thin. 5- You can feel the thickness from the side of joint two beds in the middle of your double bed. 6- Breakfast was poor. All in all, such above issues do not really give you the sensation of "disconnection" when you most need it especially if you are in the nature and you would suppose to relax a bit by paying for the A, B, Cs.

Stayed for 1 night with family. The communication from the hotel was excellent. Even changed my booking when I realised I booked the wrong week. Although there was no aircon in the bedrooms with the fans and doors open, we did not feel hot and got a great night's sleep.
