I have nothing bad to say about the classes as they were well run, efficient and very useful. This review is specifically based on the accommodation that my two friends and I stayed in.
First of all we paid a lot of money for this trip and we’re promised our own room with three beds. When we arrived, the three of us were put into a one man room with a double bed, the owner of the apartment had to roll in a single bed so that we could sleep there. But still this is two beds for three people which just isn’t good enough as we could tell this was very poorly planned, it was as if we hadn’t told the people that we were staying there until five minutes before when actually we planned this months in advance.
Our second surprise was that there was a guinea pig living in the kitchen of the apartment ( we weren’t actually allowed to use the kitchen but our food was there). Now I would have been ok with it if it was at least in its cage, which it wasn’t, but instead it roamed free all over the kitchen. The apartment we stayed in seemed to be fit for about 4 people, 5 max. I later learned that there were 8 people staying in this very small apartment and 5 of us had to share a bathroom which isn’t that bad but I just want to include it.
Myself and my two friends were transferred to a slightly bigger room after we discussed it with the owner of the apartment and we felt satisfied enough until we learned that there was no air conditioning in the whole apartment, keep in mind that we are in Salamanca in the summer where it settles at a humid 32 degrees Celsius on the average night. We quietly brought this up with the owner of the apartment and she kindly brought us a fan for our room which we were very happy with even tho it wasn’t the same as air conditioning.
One day after our classes we came home to find the fan missing with no explanation. This was very frustrating to us as the room was extremely hard to sleep in without some sort of air circulation.
That night my friend was lying on his single bed when it snapped all of a sudden. We did think that this bed was sort of faulty looking but it worked so we didn’t question it at first. Anyways, one of the beds legs had snapped and sent him flying in the middle of the night.
This did make for a very funny story but it meant that he had to put his mattress on the ground and sleep there.
The next day, the owner of the apartment came in and began to give out to us for the bed which we tried to explain was already broken, she decided not to listen and insisted my friend pay for the faulty bed. We then confronted her about the missing fan to which she told us she had taken this away from us because we left it on during the day. This was very frustrating and we contemplated leaving and getting a refund because the room was simply not suitable for living.
We stayed for the rest of the days but this woman who was the owner of the apartment clearly had no sympathy for anyone or anything because she saw how sweaty and hot we were. My friends and I were constantly sweating for the two weeks and often had to keep tissue paper under our arms to keep us from sweating down our sides.
The food was also of poor quality but the living conditions were absolutely appalling and I would never ever want to do that in my whole life again. I did however find the classes helpful and entertaining some days.

100% Recommended ! Colegio Delibes has an incredible learning environment with small class sizes and individual attention to every student. I was lucky enough to have a year to spend learning spanish with the school and went from absolutely 0 spanish to fluent in this time. The teachers and staff are warm and make you feel welcome from the day you walk through the door. On top of the hours spent in the classroom with talented teachers, they also provide fun activities in the afternoons and weekends to maximize exposure to the city, language, and culture. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in learning spanish at any level!

Colegio Delibes是我在萨拉曼卡接触到的最好的语言学校。学校规模很大，老师认真负责，每个老师都有自己独特的风格，能在学习西班牙语的同时，从不同的老师身上学到不同的东西。同时，身处异国他乡，我在这个大家庭里感受到了关怀和温暖，在我需要帮助的时候，我知道这里是我第一个想到的地方。就像Delibes的宣传语写的一样：Estudiar fuera. Sentirse en casa.
