We loved staying right within this utterly magnificent nature sanctuary. There was so much to do, so much to see. The observation areas for residents are exceptional. It was especially gratifying to see flocks of birds appearing at dusk to roost. Bird lovers, put this place on your bucket list and spend at least a night. The rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. Everything at this facility is of the highest standard.

beautifully designed, sustainable and very confortable room. Many nature-related activities around.

the staff are wonderful! so helpful and kind. the breakfast was great. we had a problem and the staff helped us out with kindness. very knowledgeable about the birds. I recommend this place.

a wonderful idea of providing rooms within a bird center! Rowen at the reception is exceptionally warm, smart and knowledgeable.

The Bird Center is in a beautiful location, overlooking the bioreserve. The rooms are rather small, and the beds aren't very big, but they are comfy and provide everything you need. Opening the window lets you hear the many birds. To see them, you go to the observation area, privately for guests, one floor above the one for visitors. There are some decent quality scopes you can use. Access to the watching tower when the centre is closed is nice too. Watching the reserve and the bay preparing for the night, with a beautiful sunset and the next day watching as the mist gradually uncovered the wonderfull landscape before us was certainly one of the highlights of our stay in the area. Breakfast was very good as well. Friendly breakfast-person too.

Perfect location for bird-viewing - even better as you have as a guest to use the viewing facilites exclusively before and after the center opens or is closed for the public! Excellent and very knowledgeable staff - perfect!

Great location, beautiful view from the breakfast room over Urdaibai. Friendly staff. In the museum on the ground floor, professional ornithologists are present to answer questions. ♿️ there is an adapted room for wheelchair users. The building is accessible. Bird observation from the main building is perfectly possible.

Very decent breakfast in an exceptional surrounding, where nature is at an arms reach.

Fantastic birding location. Lovely simple hostel room, great setup with the observation decks containing really top end scopes. The hides are well done. Overall couldn’t recommend it enough

En si , todo estaba como me lo imagine antes de llegar
