"The teachers were very good and so were the textbooks they used."
Negative aspects
"Some of the classrooms were rather small for the number of students. Also, the chairs in some of the classrooms were rather noisy when students were sitting in them, which made it more difficult to hear the teacher."

"On the whole, the teachers were good listeners and caring. Good exchanges."
Negative aspects
"My zero level in Spanish was not taken into account, and the blame was passed on to Madly Simba (and vice versa, it seems).
Little or no preparation for certain courses.
Reception: the group was not expected, we were forgotten."

Negative aspects
"The school has very bad organisation, on the first day you lose the first hour of class, even if you submit the level test and have an online interview beforehand. If you have a group class purchased but there are no more than 4 people at your level then the number of hours is reduced and you pay the same. The teachers (not all of course) are poor, with no enthusiasm for their work, they translate in English or type a word into google and read the definition in Spanish, without making the effort to explain in their own words, if they have any material it is inadequate to the level.
At school, there are cockroaches walking around in the bathrooms."

"Despite having sent an enquiry about the possibility of accommodation on a particular date and having received a positive reply, after a few days I received information that it was impossible, which meant that I had to look for other accommodation two days before and one day after in a flat shared with the school."
City/place
"Concrete town, little greenery, dogs walk and poop on the cobblestones, some clean up after them, some don't.... The beach is about an hour's walk from the centre, but transport seems to work well. Hot and humid climate in summer, hard to tolerate without air conditioning in the room."

Positive aspects of school
"The way the language was taught was fantastic, easy to understand and slow enough that the information would be transferred."
Negative aspects
"However, as much as I liked the classes, it was pretty expensive and many people would not be able to have the opportunity to learn from you. Which is shame because it's a really good school! I also find that being put into a classroom with people studying for longer periods of time doesn't help since I learned at their pace rather than a pace for two weeks of classes."
Details of the review
Accommodation
"My room was smaller than the others and no fan. It didn't bother me since it's not the summer but it'd be a nice addition next time. I also didn't get meals so 0 Stars is just because I didn't choose the option."

"In practice, it is not just a language course. But people try to talk a lot. The basics of grammar are also taught, which is also required for speaking."
Accommodation
"The evaluation of the accommodation relates to the host family. The host is really a very nice older lady who also takes the time and tries to have a conversation. I had the small room with little space, no desk but quiet. I would have rated the large room with 5 stars."

"I had taken the intensive course. The lessons were mostly online, due to the current Corona situation. Actually, I only wanted to brush up my Spanish for 4 weeks. At the beginning of the 4th week the teacher (who had already looked after me for the first full 3 weeks) convinced me to book another week and take the certificate.
I received feedback on the test very late (after more than 3 months)."
