Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Nothing. I arrived and Margo, the school’s manager, lied to me and tried to give me half of the lessons I paid for, just because I was the only beginner. I don't care if that would be one-on-one, I paid for 20 hours and I expect to get 20 hours! Horrible!”
Details of the review
School's reply: Hola Or, we really regret your negative review which is based on only 1 day of lessons. As there was no group at your level, you received 2 one to one lessons instead of the 4 group lessons. We had explained this to you on the Monday that you arrived as it is part of our policy and this is also clearly stated on the school´s homepage. The misinterpration of the facts is a mistake on your behalf and we regret your decision to leave our program after only 1 day of lessons. This review is an inaccurate reflection of reality as is shown by our other reviews and we hope that you learn from this that you cannot turn up to places without reading their policy first and try to demand what you want just because you feel a certain way.

“The teachers, Maribel was great.”
Details of the review
Other comments The accommodation at the school was disastrous. It was dirty, old and a lot of things were broken. There were cockroaches in the kitchen & most of the kitchen utensils such as pans were broken. It was a great effort to cook & stay here. An imposition for the money.
