Oyo Residencial Doña Berenguela

The only good part was the kids I met there. The director talks nonstop, won’t let anyone else speak, and lies to you. Once you arrive, you find the opposite of what she told you. The rooms feel like caves, painted dark because she says the kids are dirty, and the furniture looks pulled from a landfill and coated in petrified dust. The smell is unbearable, with the kitchen in a basement without ventilation. The bathrooms are cleaned very poorly, despite there being 17 people, 15 men, and only two showers.

I want to clear up what I meant in my earlier review. My classmates were the highlight, and I had a fantastic year with wonderful people. I don’t regret enrolling at all, and have only good memories of the 2016/17 academic year. I’m sorry if my comment upset the administration, because I never meant to suggest people shouldn’t go there. What I was trying to say is that, like any business, the conditions could always improve. I didn’t mean it wasn’t a great place to live, quite the opposite. The people and experiences are what I took away from it. 💗

The room was appalling, not a decent place to spend an entire academic year studying, and the dining room has no ventilation or even a window. The website doesn’t show the terms, contract, or cancellation policy before or after arrival, and there is no contract. Yet they rely on these supposed terms to avoid basic responsibilities. The residence doesn’t honor its commitments, blames the client, and responds rudely, even ridiculing them. It’s negligent, the service is poor, and what they promise doesn’t match reality. They only care about money. Not recommended at all.

The room was super clean, the food delicious, and I loved the service. There’s a really great atmosphere too, and you get to spend time with wonderful people. I highly recommend it.
