    The shower pressure is way too low. It's hardly possible to wash off the soap.

    The owner is very nice and considering. The room and bathroom were clean, always enough paper and it had hot water. There is a shared kitchen, you can prepare food at and a coffee vending machine. For a little extra price, it's possible to get blankets.

    This albergue has everything. Such a warm welcome, washing facilities, a garden to relax in, with a flow of water to bathe your feet, clean comfortable bed, private locker, clean toilet and shower, etc. The restaurant recommendation was spot on and very close. Loved my stay here. I would highly recommend it.

    There is nothing I didn’t like, everything was fantastic,

    Location was right on the Camino and within 10(ish) metres to a fantastic restaurant. It’s a very quiet location. I had a private room with a bathroom and the room and bathroom was spotless! I would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Bed was also super comfortable.

    Having to leave the next morning, I wanted to stay longer.

    The owners are lovely, so welcoming and friendly, they had a fridge with beers and soft drinks to help yourself and pay in the honesty box! That’s so nice!! The private rooms are a very high standard lovely decor and so clean, the bed and pillows were so comfortable the best on the Camino so far, the private bathroom is outside of the bedroom but tbh it didn’t bother me really as it was so wonderful, I would definitely recommend. Beautiful views and lots of nice seating areas.

    Maria and Lalo are simply the best ! This was my second time staying there. I stayed there 6 years ago when they opened. This was my second Camino and I made specific plans to stay there again because of the memories I had from before. This time just as last time didn't disappoint. They have kept the property just like it opened. Immaculate. Maria and Lalo are now fluent in English. Still kind hearted. Maria took me to her garden while Lalo set me my e-bike up to charge. Occasionally I would see their family members come and hang out there and they would invite the Pilgrims to join them too. They have a huge and clean kitchen equipped with lots of dishes. The ambiance is fantastic. It hasn't changed. Near a river. One can listen to the sounds of river, cow bells and watch the most amazing views of the mountains. This Albergue is the last big and well set-up one before the O'cebreiro's big climb. Do not miss this opportunity to visit Maria and Lalo. And if read this review and go there, tell them I said hello. Stephanie from New York ;-)

    Nothing comes to mind.

    Great place to stop before the climb to O'Cebriero which is very challenging. 2 mins walk to village. There is a pub, restaurant and 2 supermarkets in the village so well serviced. Spotless. Comfy beds. Great shower, spotless toilets. Kitchen available for cooking. Host very helpful, warm reception.
