It was a great place to stay and relax. Unfortunately, when I was there, there was no Yoga Session and no guitar play, but I still enjoyed my time there.
Bed 17€, supermarket right around the corner, Massage 25€ for 50min possible, dinner and breakfast for donation, vegetarian dinner.

I stayed here years ago when it was earning its reputation as being a relaxed haven
I stayed again two years ago and was disappointed at how it has changed.
Last year I arrived again to give it another chance.
It has become a destination now due to hype.
It's clearly changed the whole ethos and become a more commercially minded slick operstion.
I didn't like the vibe and left and went elsewhere.
The Verde has been spoiled by its success.

Albergue Verde has a way of loosening tired shoulders and weary legs once you see this green ivy covered exterior. The welcome is warm and continues throughout my stay. Massage is available, dinner was delicious; babaganoush (one of the best), super fresh salad all home grown, lentil and pasta soup (this was so good) followed by homemade pear cake. I could easily stay here again. The place was clean, showers had hot water, bonus.

This albergue was nice! But not sure if quite lived up to the hype, as the beds were pretty closely packed together and the room was totally full. My friend the night before said there were only 6 pilgrims, which would change things drastically. No charging in the dorm space at all. The yoga room was closed for work being done, but onsite massages were offered for 25 eur! Dinner is by donation and was delish.

What a restorative albergue! The gardens and the indoors are so peaceful and calming. Staff very friendly and helpful. The meal was absolutely delicious! So nice to sleep on cotton 😍

4th stay at Albergue Verde. As good as ever. Beautifully relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Warm relaxed welcome. Super clean. Blankets and real sheets. Washer and dryer. Yoga studio for stretching or meditation. The pups are still here, more mature but still loving! The garden and hammocks just ask to be used.
The vegan meal is, and always has been, delicious and plentiful.
Since 2018 we have always pre-booked !! It is a well known Albergue for good reason. Positive word of mouth !
If you want to stay here, don’t assume they will have a vacancy for walk-ins.
I sincerely recommend this beautiful Albergue.

I arrived footsore and tired, looking forward to my third stay at the Verde.
Much to my surprise I was asked if I had a reservation.
Edu, the bossman always refused to accept reservations on principle.
The receptionist seemed confused and phoned someone for advice.
Then I was told the price was €16 not the €13 shown on WhatsApp.
In 2021 when I first stayed my bed donation was €20 plus meal donation so it wasn't the cost in itself that put me off.
It seems that the Verde has succumbed to the business model once despised.
I left and found a bed in an albergue on the road through the town.

My second time here, a few changes since last time but still so good. Clean, comfy with a lovely relaxing hippy vibe. Loved the evening meal made with produce from their own garden. How magical to fall asleep on a hot summer night to the sound of the Beatles and Pink Floyd being played expertly on guitars in the garden. The best lullaby ever 🥰

This is such a great place. It’s just difficult to sleep with their dogs barking under my window. Especially on a warm night when the window is open.
