I had a great time
August 14, 2026by: Jordi alvarez - Englandaswell as improving my grammar, speech and understanding in spanish, I had a great time on activitys, excursions and free time. met a lot of new people and had a lot of fun with them and interacting with others
Highly Recommend!
August 13, 2026by: K. S. - United StatesWe had a wonderful experience with Expanish! Communication was excellent from the time we enrolled and throughout the entire program. They were always very responsive whenever we emailed with questions, and everything was extremely well organized. The paperwork was easy to complete electronically. We dropped our 14 year old son off and picked him up in person, so we also had a chance to see the facilities and meet the staff. The facilities were clean, modern, and well maintained, and the counselors were very friendly and welcoming in person. Most importantly, our son had a great time. He attended just one week this summer and enjoyed it so much that he’s already asked to go back for three weeks next summer. I think that says it all! We would definitely recommend Expanish!
Great experience!
August 16, 2025by: Ekaterina Rezvin - United StatesNot a first time my kids attend sleep away camp in Europe, Everything was great from step one. My communication with admissions was prompts, clear and informative. Cost is very low in comparison to many other places. Spanish lessons are appropriate with different levels and were challenging enough. Accomodations are wonderful, in a new dorm building with 2 person occupancy rooms and private bathroom. Kids appreciates a lot of independence with good security. Counselors were very responsive and accommodating. Kids got accustomed with subway, old city, shopping, beaches etc. After lesson hours were filled with appropriate activities that could have been a bit better timed but overall kids liked it. Made many friends and plan to join it next year! Hope there won't be changes to worse, such a huge price increase or drop in activities quality. Thanks a lot!
¡Hola, Ekaterina! Thank you very much for your comments! We are really happy to know your kids enjoyed their time with us. We look forward to welcoming them next year in Barcelona again or in our Summer Camps in Málaga or Madrid :) ¡Un abrazo!
Satisfied Teen :)
August 15, 2025by: Elsa Dogrukol - SlovakiaAs a parent I would like to thank your Organization for this great program my daughter has attended this summer. She enjoyed it a lot, made new friends, experiences, have seen beautiful places and forgot about us completely LOL. I am happy for this opportunity we shared and feel lucky we trusted Expanish. I recommend this program for every teen who look forward to socializing with foreigners of the same age and wants to spend valuable time during summer, full of fun and social activities! Te deseo todo lo mejor!
Thank you so much for such a nice comment! :) We are really happy to know that Elsa enjoyed her time with us! Hope we get to see her again in the future! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
Fun experience with people from all over
August 10, 2025by: Anooj Sheth - United StatesFun few weeks in Barcelona. Staff and counselors were wonderful and had a good time with other kids. Enjoyed the excursions but would have preferred seeing some famous landmarks from inside and not just outside. Food except for a handful of meals was not very good and could be improved. Accommodation was comfortable and it was fun hanging out in the common areas and around.
Hello Anooj, thank you for your review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your time at our summer camp in Barcelona, getting to share with students from all over the world. We appreciate this feedback. Our residence focuses on providing a healthy and diverse menu, trying to cater to international students. We understand this can be improved so all students are satisfied, and will focus on doing so for future programs. We are always looking for ways to improve and make the student's experience the best possible in our summer camps! Best regards, Expanish BCN Team
Two weeks were not enough
August 10, 2025by: Caterina Botter - ItalyThe only problem was that two weeks were not enough for the fun had. Amazing experience. Best people, best location. Looking forward to going again to expanish next year. Leaving the place was difficult.
¡Que lindo comentario, Caterina! :) Thank you for your words! We are really happy to know you've enjoyed your time with us again! Hopefully we see you next year in Madrid ;) ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
Expanish Barcelona
August 07, 2025by: Julia Hickmann Nesbitt - United KingdomOverall very good experience, as the classes were very good and the excursions were good, however, the accommodation was small, which is understandable as it is Barcelona but still a bit uncomfortable and some of the activities were not as expected and uninteresting to most of us. The experience was fantastic and i would definitely recommend to others.
Hello Julia, thank you for your review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your time at our summer camp in Barcelona. We appreciate this feedback and are always looking for ways to improve and make the student's experience the best possible in our summer camps! Best regards, Expanish BCN Team
