Has anyone slept in or SEEN the inside of the Treehouse at Alb. Jakue?

Anniesantiago · Dec 21, 2023

I've booked the tree house at Albergue Jakue for my May Camino this year.
I need to find a bed for one of my pilgrims and I'm wondering if the extra bed is in the same room as the matrimonial?
Or is it in a separate room?
Does anyone have photos of the two beds?
Thanks!
Annie

The description on their site isn't exactly clear, is it?

De nombre Maitenea, el lugar del cariño, en el Hotel Jakue contamos con la primera habitación en un árbol totalmente equipada con todos los servicios, un lugar de ensueño para noches especiales. Está dotada de una habitación con una cama y otra opcional para una tercera persona, un baño completo y está equipada con todas las comodidades, como aire acondicionado y televisor, entre otras muchas. Con una exquisita decoración

I would write to them to find out.

I actually stayed in the treehouse suite at Jakue. Fun experience. Only one large bed. Was certainly unique. Unfortunately I took no pictures of the interior. It literally is a treehouse. Bedroom, en suite bathroom, private porch. On a windy night it actually creaks a bit. Certainly an experience.

Yes, I've seen it, thanks.
It does not show the bed in the loft.

By the way, I've heard it pronounced sooooooo many ways.
I recently found this online:

Jakue pronunciation in Spanish

How to say Jakue in Spanish? Pronunciation of Jakue with 1 audio pronunciation and more for Jakue.

www.howtopronounce.com

Maybe Ivar or someone who is a native can tell us if this is correct?

Tim, how was it being over the bar? Was it noisy?
I've always wanted to sleep in the treehouse so I'm excited to have booked it.
But I need one more bed for my pilgrims and am hoping there is a bed in the loft, as the description says.

They have a FB page. Maybe send them a message there?

::: I HAVE written them, trecile. lol!
It took until today to get an answer and I'm a Leo, I want to know yesterday!
Anyway, they've taken out the loft bed.
There is only one "matrimonial" in case anyone is interested.

About the pronunciation of Jakue, and just to add to the confusion, the translator I often use says that the "Yakooé" pronunciation is Basque.

There was little activity in the bar when we were there. It is directly over the outdoor patio area, but noise was not an issue for us.

If there was I did not notice. I stayed in 2016 so they might have reconfigured it since. I do recall a loft but we did not use it.
