    The shower seemed to not work properly for some roommates,which left them unable to rinse off properly. Luckily mine was sufficient.

    Everything except the temperamental shower.

    New albergue, has a guest house feel. Very clean. The owner has rules to keep property running well. Keep in mind there’s nothing around to buy food so make sure you plan accordingly.

    It exceeded any expectations. Lorenzo (Laurent) is the proprietor “who does it all”…. explaining the rules, checking us in, collecting the money, doling out towels/sleeping bags for those who need them, all while preparing and serving amazing Basque centered meals. He proudly shows off his beautifully restored farm house and barn which provides well thought out spaces for sleep, hygiene and meals. His real gift, however, is connecting each of us pilgrims to one another. By the end of the meal we all knew and supported each other’s journey. This gift of new friends sustained us for the first 4 days of walking and beyond.

    I arrived too early - everybody says not to underestimate the first day's hike, I say don't overestimate it, you can have a late and leisurely departure from St Jean.

    Everything everybody says about Borda is true - dreamy dorms, the best food I ate for quite some time, and a special experience meeting your new Camino pals expertly orchestrated by Laurent. I probably could have made it over the mountain in one (long) day but am so glad I treated myself to staying here!

    Lorenzo was an amazing host, bartender, cook,storyteller. Only 4 beds in a unit, sharing bathroom/ shower. It makes you lunch to go for 8 euros, great deal. Way better then Orrison

    Satisfied with evertyhing.

    The evening meal provided by Laurent was excellent. Three courses that filled us up and provided energy for the next days walk on the Camino. Wine was also plentiful and good quality. The introductions by everybody round the table was a great ice breaker and we met some lovely people. Glad we chose this place over the others.

    Everything was ok

    The Albergue is located approximately 9 km after San Jean Pie du Port in a renewated ex farm and the landscape it's very nice. It's a good point to divide the first stage of Camino de Santiago and start to enter in the spirit of the Camino. It's very clean and well organised. The host it's very kind and the dinner is very good. The dinner take place with all the other pilgrims so it's possible to meet each other and starting to make connections with other pilgrims. I enjoyed my staying a lot , highly recommended!

    Nothing. It is fantastic. Book now!

    For a long time, there was only one place to stay if you wanted to split up the journey between St Jean and Roncesvalles (Orisson). Now there really is one place to stay and that is Borda! Laurent is a fantastic host, and really embodies the spirit of the Camino. It was an absolutely authentic, fantastic first night on the Camino. Laurent provides a friendly, warm welcome and everyone at Borda becomes good friends over the course of one afternoon and evening. I will recommend Borda to everyone who wants to do the Camino, and I will also come back. Thank you Laurent!

    The most beautiful place to stay! Laurent was the most wonderful host who welcomed us and made the most delicious dinner ( and even offered us a lunch box for the next day 🙂) You can wash and dry clothing right there too which was a great option. We all slept so well! I’d love to return.
