I will do the second leg of my religious retreat/outdoor adventure/450 mile pub crawl (aka The Camino) , from Logrono to Leon , to mark the occasion of my seventieth year starting mid-September. As part of my over planning I try to identify hostals/private albergues where I can get a private room. I can only manage short stages so knowing where I am going to sleep is important to me.
I use booking.com as a tool to look for suitable places along with mundicamino, jacobsfreunde, and that eroski consumer site. (Did I mention that I over plan?). Well, I am noticing that booking .com is indicating that several places are full even as far out as October although booking.com will sometimes suggest other dates.
So is this a booking.com oddity, ie only so many rooms are available for online booking while a direct phone call will reveal vacancies? I was only planning to do reservations one or two days in advance but the "no room in the inn" notices on booking.com are making me nervous.
Thanks for whatever info others can share.
