I found that last summer, on the CF, with covid restrictions, if I was in an albergue in a place where there were no open stores/restaurants, that the albergue would provide a meal--for a charge. Usually about 10 E.
Many albergues do not use booking.com and will only accept reservations by calling ahead. Camino Ninja app has these albergues with private rooms that are not on booking.com.
