April 24, reserved a private room over phone. When arrived, handed over my US credit card - which got “declined” according to little wireless card reader. We tried few times, then they switched to another card reader, also “declined”. Finally they used a third machine and card went through . Few days later, I noticed on my CC account multiple charges for 30 Euros ! Filed a dispute ( still ongoing ). Anyway, could be innocent error on their side , they are not tech savvy ….. Room was close to stables , scent of cows in the room …. Food service very slow, so walked over to nearby place for some salad and soup.
Would avoid next time .

They will not respond to Whatsapp which I use because my Spanish is bad. There is no other way to reserve a bed. They are only reserving beds to Spanish speaking individuals on the phone. My Korean friend was in tears and decided to go home after coming all the way from SJPP. The person that answered the phone was laughing at her Spanish and hung up on her. I had a similar experience, very mean.

This review comes with a major preface, which is that I'm traveling in the summer of 2022, one of the hottest summers in Spain. That being said, little albergues like this one are equipped for the 350 days of the year when it's freezing cold, not the 15 where it's blazing hot. The staff were very friendly. Wifi was pretty spotty. Food was good. Sleeping was like being in an oven.

Excellent welcoming, quiet, spacious, clean, bright place to stop for the night! Appreciated most the option to have food at times that fit our needs rather than the usual, sometimes too late or too early, time frames for both afternoon snacks, dinner, & breakfasts!

I enjoyed my stay here. Big, bright outdoor seating area. Two shower/baths to share between both dorms, which could be a problem in a busy season but was not when I was there. The room was clean, bunks very comfortable and sturdy. The pilgrim dinner was again good - I am continually grateful to places like this that do not give out a bland meal, but feed their peregrinos well. The young man on staff was particularly helpful with questions.
