I contacted the albergue several days in advance asking for two beds in the shared room on a certain date. We arrived, and the couldn’t initially find our reservation until I spotted my name down for the wrong date. Not only that, they had us in a double room, not in the bunk room. Luckily they would fit us in still that day, but we were still in the double room - just a double bed, not a twin option. Everything was fine, but I’m not sure I would be in a rush to stay again.

The place is clean enough, and no bedbugs, but the dorm is very old and so are the bunk beds. It takes quite a bit of balance and courage to go in the top bunk, and the whole thing is squeaking when you turn around. You can also feels the springs from the mattress. Another lady said she saw a mouse in the dorm, but I didn’t see or hear anything to be fair. Probably wouldn’t stay here again, but don’t be afraid to if you must

Okish place to stay
Beds already made - made me a bit suspect! Slept on top in my sleeping bag as usual
€15 for bed, €16 for dinner (it was also ok, nothing special) can pay by card
2 young girls left the place after seeing made up beds etc
Shower ok - only 1 for 11 beds (in our room) must have live in staff that use the other shower/toilet room, it was soon locked so we only had the one.
I don't recommend

Despite our lack of Spanish, the owner showed good humour and welcomed us. We managed to get a double room, hot showers, laundry done and a hearty pilgrim meal. Room and food was great value.

We woke up 4am in the dorm with the bed full of bedbugs. We immediately left the room and took our stuff outside. While sitting outside and making a plan, everyone else in the room was also leaving. They all had bedbugs in their beds.

We considered waiting until the owner was showing up in morning. But based on a google review we found about the owner not taking it seriously, we preferred to walk and have time to get everything fixed when when we arrived.

Bedbugs!!! Thankfully upon entering the dorm and seeing the low standard of cleanliness I decided to do an inspection. Room was obviously unclean, dirty dusty corners of rooms and bed frames. The mattresses had fabric covers stitched onto them presumably to stop people from inspecting the mattresses. Found dead bedbug pretty quickly. Also evidence of recent bedbugs on pillows. Told the owner and showed him a photo and he tried to reassure me it was ‘just one’ and that they use pest control.
He offered to change room to another building that definitely did not have bed bugs. If you know you’ve had a recent problem, then why not use that building whilst you sort the problem?
Left without a refund to find another albergue. Not worth the trouble.

This is my first review because I’m really enjoying his place enough to say so

Be friendly, try to use Spanish

This place is amazing in my honest opinion
Got the pilgrim meal: lentil soup + steak guisada + cake
And espresso

Worth it. Food is so good
Service is amazing

They will wash and dry your clothes for you (4€+4€)

Cozy room, not overcrowded

I had no issue reserving two beds via WhatsApp. Upon arrival we were tired and used google translate to see if we could change to a private room if available. The room was very simple with a double bed and linen. Shared bathroom was clean (albeit old), but served its purpose. Remember, you are in a very small rural town where English is generally not spoken, you are the guest and with some respect you’ll have a nice stay.
