Si puedes evita este albergue, aunque dice donativo te obligan un mínimo de 10€, cuando por 5€ más tendrás lugares bastantes mejores, Yo estuve en mayo del 2024 y el lugar era frío y las instalaciones pésimas, con paredes que se caían de la humedad y encima el hospitalero te trataba mal a los peregrinos. NO RESERVAR.

Experiencia de 10!!! Después de dejarnos tiradas a un grupo que éramos 6 el 9 de septiembre en el albergue privado nos acogieron en este albergue Jaume y Nere (encantadores!!!) dónde nos acondicionaron una habitación para nosotras solas y decir que se preocuparon en todo momento de como estabamos y que toda la atención que recibimos x parte de los dos fue extraordinaria. Muchos besos de las peregrinas catalanas que estuvimos ese día y que siempre os llevarán en el corazón.

The nicest couple run this albergue it is nothing fancy but the energy is warm and welcoming. It was also a very social albergue so I met people to hike with the following days! By donation so have cash ready :)

Very satisfying hostel with a warm welcome from Paxi, an absolute gem of a host!
Breakfast was simple but pleasant: crispbread with butter and jam, served with hot chocolate, tea, coffee, or herbal infusions.

We enjoyed clean and spacious facilities, easily accommodating around thirty guests.

I was sexually assaulted here last week. I immediately told the female volunteer who checked us all in as soon as it happened - Maya (or Maia?) She scoffed at me, stormed off & threw back at me €10 of the €13 donativo, I was in shock and left. This all happened within 30 minutes of arrival. I was in a dorm with him having been one of the first people to arrive so was sent in with him (they check you in in twos in this place) and he sexually assaulted me. I was lucky it could’ve been much worse, but I was able to persuade him to leave me. I have contacted the Albergue 4 times since this happened last week and they just ignore me. I reported to police as soon as I left who were great. Just know that if you stay here and anything bad happens, they do not care at ALL. So disappointing after all the wonderful volunteers and hosts I’d experienced so far. Shameful despicable behaviour. Avoid at all costs.

Los voluntarios encantadores.
Pocos baños para la cantidad de gente.
No tiene cocina.

The woman who runs the place came in to tell us to turn the lights back on at 9pm because people couldn’t see and there were many people sleeping. Also the cops got called as well for someone who groped a woman and she let him stay in the Albergue overnight. Not a great experience and made me feel unsafe.

El Albergue de Peregrinos de Markina-Xemein, gestionado por los monjes carmelitas, es una experiencia única para los peregrinos, ya que solo se puede dormir aquí si se está haciendo el Camino.

Destaca la rapidez en la gestión, sus espacios amplios y cómodos, y sobre todo el enorme espacio para tender la ropa, algo muy útil tras una jornada de caminata. Los voluntarios ofrecen una atención excelente, y además incluyen un desayuno, que se disfruta en un comedor grande y acogedor, ideal para compartir con otros peregrinos.

El alojamiento funciona con un donativo voluntario (mínimo 10 €), pero vale la pena dejar una aportación generosa por la calidad del lugar y el trato recibido.

Una parada muy especial y recomendable en el Camino, sin nada negativo que señalar.

The Pilgrims’ Hostel in Markina-Xemein, run by the Carmelite monks, is a unique experience for pilgrims, as you can only stay here while walking the Camino.

Check-in is quick and easy, the spaces are wide and comfortable, and there’s plenty of room to hang your laundry, which is a big plus after a long day of walking. The volunteers are extremely kind and helpful, and they also offer breakfast, which you can enjoy in a large dining hall perfect for sharing with other pilgrims.

It works on a donation basis (minimum €10), but it’s worth leaving a generous contribution for the quality and hospitality provided.

A truly special and highly recommended stop on the Camino, with nothing negative to point out.
