[QUOTE="hikentravel1234, post: 1167181, member: 49632"] This year, I walked on CF for the fourth time (from Roncesvalle to Burgos in late May)-- My 3rd (last) time was in 2015. 1. Everyone knows it is best to reserve at Orisson. 2. We arrived in Roncesvalle, with a reservation (which they now allow) at 4:45 PM. We were aghast at the number of people there. It took us 2 1/2 hours just to register!!! During that time, it was hard to watch what occurred: --they are appeared to be at least 50 people who had reservations. There were so many people that they were put in groups of three or four different colors. Everyone with a reservation eventually got into the building, but it took many hours. --While waiting, there were about 20 people waiting since around 1 PM hoping to get beds if people didn't show up for reservations. This was at 4:15 and around 6 PM they were told that they did not expect any more beds to be available. I suspect a few other people may have gotten some beds early on but I'm not sure. these people were helped and getting taxis. And everyone who arrived later than 6 PM had no chance of getting a bed. --I became friends with one of the hospideros (?) you told me around 8 p.m. that through various sources they had gotten feedback that there were no beds available that night until Pamplona. The next morning we met someone who was walking who actually had to go to Pamplona to find a bed. --That same night we saw, and heard about a lot of really sad stories. One older man, when told there are no beds, said "I can't keep walking"--a young woman gave up her bed so that he would have one. The hotels in Roncesvalle varied in price, but some of them are quite expensive. Of course, all of the hotel beds filled up also. --I suspected about 50 people could not find a bed anywhere that night except going to Pamplona or beyond. 3. I also had a reservation for my second night. 4. We got to Pamplona around 1 PM and the big municipal Albergue only had about 30 beds left. After we napped and showered, there were a few women on the street, crying because there was nowhere to sleep, and they planned on heading to the bus station to sleep on the floor. However, this was on a Saturday. So arrive early or avoid Pamplona on Saturday. 5. From there on, we made reservations, but at times it could be quite difficult, especially if I only tried to reserve one night ahead, sometimes taking a very long time to find a place available, and usually at a much higher rate.
