Good quality for good price

"Surf hostel is very clean with nice rooms. They provide fresh healthy food (always vegetarian option available). Great airport transfer service. Surf lessons only in small groups so surf coach can focus on individuals. (great for practicing your spanish) But lessons possible in english too. What was very nice, there was always optional program everyday available. In general place has nice atmosphere and friendly staff. And very good price for what you get! 100% recommended."

"Seven old skaters from Wales heading for the concrete perfection of the Basque Country. Bilbao Surf Camp provided us with the perfect accommodation at a very reasonable rate. Clean and tidy fantastic warm welcome from the matriarch of the house Paulie ( we presume owner) Perfect central location for discovering the culture, beaches, surf and skateparks of the area. We skated 9 and still more to visit!!! Stunning coastline and warm friendly people.We will be back!Thanks Paulie. X"

"Spent one week over Easter 2016. Went alone but I was sure I would have made new friends, which I did. The hostel is located in a perfect setting, it is in a countryside area, 10 min drive from the beach, and 15 min walk from the metro station which connects to Bilbao city. Due to this you can tailor your holiday as you wish, you can decide to follow all the organized activities that the hostel proposes (they have a timetable with surf classes, skateboard classes and excursions), or you can skip some of the classes and use the time to visit Bilbao city and its attractions, or other nearby places. The ladies who run the hostel are very friendly and treat you like a son/daughter, the truly show care for your wellbeing and make sure you are well fed and comfortable all the time. The accomodation is in beds and bunk beds, quite comfy, there are several bathroom and toilets around the building so you never heave to queue, and they are almost always clean (of course messy customers are to be accounted for in a hostel). We had a few very chilly days and I am glad they did not save money on heating and hot showers.All surf and skate teachers are amazing guys, very attentive, caring and above all professional and experts. The price was absolutely fair for the service that you get. And you won't get things much cheaper or better quality even if you shop around. Overall I spent an extremely happy and fulfilling week and neatly improved my surfing and skateboarding skills"

Very Nice stay !

"We had a really great stay in this hostel. The ambiance is very cosy and with a family atmosphere, we felt like home after a few minutes! The "nanny" is full of joy and gives you the smile for the hole day. The house is situated on a hill with a nice garden and skatepark! The furnitures have a rustic mark but it gives you all the basic nead. We recommend this hostel :)"

Lihis

"Place was good, everything you would expect from a hostel. Location is good although the town is a bit dead and not too many places to choose from if you decide to eat out. Metro to Bilbao is 40 min. Nothing wrong with the place, its quite clean, the staff is very nice and helpful and its cheap."
