Accommodation Question

[Jim Cahill]

So, I have finally booked the flight. I am planning to walk a stage of the Camino from 1 Aug to about 11th August.
That's when its best for me to take holidays and that's as much time as I can give it this time around. My intention is to do it in Stages as many others do.

I am a snorer and I am very conscious of bothering other people so I am planning on not staying in the albergues or dormitory type accommodation but rather in hotels or private rooms. What will accommodation availability be like then? Its probably peak season. Will I have to book ahead or can I just get by just by finding accommodation as I go?

Thanks

When I walked during that same time period I occasionally stayed in private rooms. I usually booked them the day before, or sometimes the same day when I stopped for lunch.

Thanks for being so considerate of others...wow!

If you are walking the Camino Frances in August, and plan on booking lodging, I strongly suggest you do it now, not later.

You snore? There are a myriad of sounds broadcast in every dormitory in every albergue every night, sounds and...well... odors. Snores, coughs, sneezes, people stumblethumping about, cell phones and MP3's, lights flashing and doors slamming from the loos, early risers and their confounded plastic bags, a cacophony. However most pilgrims are too tired even to notice, often falling into hibernation even before the lights go off. Thank you for your consideration but don't worry - I have slept peacefully next to pilgrims who went off like sawmills as they drifted off..

Search for snoring on the forum and you will find many references and answers.
I can tell you that many Albergues do have snoring rooms , I know

Hi matey,
But a bucket of ear plugs and sell them!!
I’m joking... there will be far more than you snoring and talking.
10 out of 10 for being considerate.
Enjoy the trip. Soak it in as it’s amazing

If you want to book now go through Booking or Hotel.com. You will often be able to change or cancel reservations very close to the date of your booking. It is a risk to book ahead because you never know what may happen. It is really cool that you are being so considerate regarding your snoring. I never walk my camino at that time of the year but it is a luxury not many of us have. I know there are lots of pilgrims here who have and would have a better idea of when to book. I do have a feeling that if you are booking a day or two ahead you should be ok. But that is just a guess. Buen Camino

Most snore at one time or another. Most people have earplugs. It goes with staying in hostels, I think.

This is not a joke, my snoring is so bad I have to wear ear plugs at home so I don't wake myself up !

That's happened to me when I've had a bad cold

Oh, honey,get a sleep study. If you have apnea it's bad for your health and relatively easy to treat!

I do have it, snore like a buzz saw, and rely on an easily portable dental appliance to treat.

 

[Morning Waters]

Thanks, I will look into the dental appliance. I do have sleep apnea but have only been set up to use a Cpap machine, which I have tried twice now and cannot tolerate. They make my sleep even more interrupted.

Apart from the Sarria to Santiago stretch, I have found the Camino francés to be pretty much EMPTY in July/August.

Really?
That makes my heart happy!
Things must be changing...
