Like other pilgrims I came into this albergue aware that it had a bad wrap but previous comments have been to kind. Mould on all walls. The smell of raw sewerage emanating from the bathroom and very cold rooms that 2 heaters on for a few hours make no difference to. Blankets were made available but they all seemed cold or damp or both. It’s a hard choice to walk on another hour or more after a long day in hope that you will get a bed. I would not stay here again and would pay the €40 to get a taxi to Burgos.

This place was cold, moist and covered in mold. Every corner of this albergue was disgusting, every room you entered there was a new terrible smell to get used to. There is only one smaller albergue in town, but it is worth it to walk the extra 4 to the next town. This place is bad for your health, breathing in the mold all night!

Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here. It’s is cold and damp, smells like mold. The bathroom is extremely unappealing. I’m not sure why this place is 15€, it should be 8€ at most. Go to the next town if you must

March 2024: This place was SO SO cold, much worse than other unheated places, probably because of the stone walls. It was like an ice box and everyone was freezing. No places to hang-out but outside. In generel this places lacks atmosphere… its “cold” in every way.

I stayed in San Juan de Ortega last night and this Albergue is now open again for the new season. I’ve stayed here a couple of times before, both times the ladies’ bathroom floor was flooded. I think it’s a drainage problem.
I stayed in El Descanso de San Juan last night…highly recommended.

Awful place. Dirty and no food unless you order by 4.00 pm. Seriously lacking basic facilities.

Dreadful beds and crammed together. Next morning I walked into the next village and wished I'd stayed there!

Back to the basica - outlets huddled along one wall, lots of beds in one room, and small showers and bathrooms. No food or kitchen
