Stayed in a 3 bed room. It was small, but enough room for one night. The place was clean, no sleeping bag required, and the shower was really nice. It's not connected to the bar/restaurant, so it's very quiet. The restaurant hosted a delicious community dinner for the pilgrims that you shouldn't miss. The hosts were kind, informative, and so sweet. Hontanas is a great place to stop!
I had a comfortable room, but unfortunately, it was too expensive for the expected service. €70 per night. There were no table lamps, and the bed was poor quality, squeaking and wobbly. I slept well anyway, because I was naturally tired from hiking. The owner or staff member was very friendly and accommodating when handing over the keys. The room did have air conditioning, but it unfortunately didn't work, which I really missed during my afternoon siesta. Unfortunately, the kitchen isn't available to pilgrims, nor is there a refrigerator. The same owner owns the only village restaurant next door. Thus, you are tacitly encouraged to eat in the restaurant and not cook for yourself. The guesthouse has a laundry room where you can handwash clothes.
A very pretty and cozy place, a very quiet town. Best of all, the hospitality and tremendous kindness and professionalism of Luis and Laura, owners who go out of their way for their guests. They love what they do, and it shows. Customer service is a 10/10. Without a doubt, a great place to return to, and we'll take home fond memories and a beautiful friendship. A place where your pet will be welcomed as warmly as you are, excellent if you're traveling with your dog. The food was served very quickly and everything was delicious. The rooms were luxurious to sleep in, and there's a pool next door, so everything was very nice and comfortable.
The girl who helped me was lovely, and the cottage was fine. I had an attic room, and the ceiling was a bit low, but it was still comfortable, with a very spacious bathroom and everything clean. If you arrive early, the town has a swimming pool, which your legs will especially appreciate.
An exceptional place to rest and disconnect. Luis and his wife make you feel right at home. Rooms are simple but very well-equipped. No noise or external disturbances. It has been a true pleasure to stay in this small town on the Camino de Santiago.
