Auberge Borda - Comentarios

Il mio primo pernotto in albergue sulla rotta napoleonica. Prenotato dall'Italia con la massima cortesia e professionalità. Un hospitalero giovane ma molto competente e disponibile. Cena comunitaria di ottimo livello vino compreso. Un battesimo del Cammino fatto nel migliore dei modi Grazie

Uma das melhores experiências de meu Caminho em maio de 2022. Após uma subida forte num dia de muito calor fomos recebidos com uma ótima limonada. A ceia comunitária, além de muito saborosa, permitiu aos 13 peregrinos de 11 nacionalidades diferentes se conhecerem melhor e partilhas suas vivências, esperanças, tristezas e alegrias, uma experiência muito emocionante. As instalações muito limpas e organizadas. Laurent é bem restrito, mas amável. Um ótimo começo para o Caminho sem se esgotar muito com a travessia dos Pirineus. Só um porém: só abre depois das 14:00 - se chegar muito cedo terá que esperar demais; mas se deixar para subir de SJPP para Borda (como eu fiz) corre o risco de pegar muito calor.

Extended our walk GR65 to Pamplona, we had the opportunity to stay at Borda lodge. This is one of the our favourites on our way. Lovely, clean, new, comfortable accommodation with great bathrooms. Laurent was the perfect host and very organised. Our dinner was beautiful, food was yummy and we also enjoyed our introductions before dinner. Top stay, we would recommend staying here well and truly worth it.

Laurent ha hecho un albergue 10 en el camino. Sin duda una parada obligada en la etapa entre Saint Jean Pied de Port y Roncesvalles. Todo fue excelente.

you will find no better place to start the Camino France

Wonderful meal with introductions. More than half way to Santiago 7 of us found each other at an albergue over a meal. Bed great. Host welcomed us with lemonade.

This is one of the best and cleanest places on the Camino in my opinion, and I have walked the various Caminos over 20 times. Yes, Laurent is strict, and he runs a tight ship, but it makes for a beautifully clean and organized stay. You don’t have to worry about bedbugs because packs are left downstairs. You don’t have to worry about Pilgrims getting in the shower and staying 20 minutes and using all the hot water because you have timed showers that are adequate for any Pilgrim. I have to admit, and I have told Laurent, that my first impression was that he was strict. But all of that dissolved as the hours went by and we understood his reasons were for everyone’s good. We absolutely loved him! The dinner was exceptional . The introductions before dinner gave us all a chance to get to know each other and made for camaraderie that may not have happened otherwise. I found his story very interesting myself as I did the stories of the other Pilgrims. The private room is a gem and well worth the price. The Hostal beds are extremely clean, private, and adequate. Everybody has a place to put their things and plug in their own cell phone. The only thing lacking was toilet paper in the morning and that was probably because pilgrims took the toilet paper, which they often do. Breakfast was healthy. There was plenty of food. I had a group of eight people and we were all very very happy with this lodging. Keep it up Laurent, and good luck to you in the future! I hope to sleep here again.

Dès notre arrivée Laurent vous saute dessus et vous inflige un règlement de pensionnat, entre autre pas de sac à dos ni de boisson dans les dortoirs. Le diner est fixé à 7h précise, à 7h nous attendons dehors dans le froid , la porte s'ouvre à 7h10. Et là installés, Laurent nous impose une cérémonie, comme un père jésuite. Il nous parle de son passé en entreprise (inintéressant), puis chacun doit se présenter, dire d'où il vient, ou il va. Père Laurent s'improvise traducteur anglais français et inverse (hum!) Il n'y a pas d'espagnols ce soir-là. Tout cela dure une quarantaine de minutes, et hélas ne sont pas posés sur les tables les pots de vin qui nous auraient aidés à tromper notre ennui. Enfin le diner qui est correct. Le petit espace salon de détente près des dortoirs est finalement surloué pour 2 couches , donc plus d'affluence aux douches et WC. Le petit déjeuner est réduit à café thé tartines grillées de baguette blanche , beurre , confiture. C'était en sept 2021. PILO

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con los otros peregrinos que dicen que es un albergue excepcional, muy acogedor y que se cena muy bien. Eso dicho, hay cosas que podrían a mejorarse. Por ejemplo, falta una caja al lado de cada cama en donde dejar cosas personales.
