Anyone familiar with this albergue? It’s about 9km past Negreira.

I sent an email reservation request and here’s the response I received:
Si desea reservar, necesitamos que nos proporcione como garantía su número de tarjeta de crédito y fecha de caducidad. En caso de presentarse no se le hará ningún cargo, pagará usted a su llegada.

I emailed back saying I wasn’t comfortable with sending my cc via email and I got this back:
Podemos proporcionarle un número de cuenta para la realización del ingreso bancario si así lo desea.

I don’t really want to make a bank deposit into an account either.
Maybe I’m being too skeptical. Perhaps it’s no different than Booking.com.

1) Has anyone had a similar exchange?
2) Please share your experience about this albergue?

Hi!
I stayed there last year, a fabulous rural place, a century old granite house in the middle of the countryside, opposite the church and near a bar with nice food, I love this type of remote places!
The owner is a very nice fellow, always looking forward to having a good chat and showing you his horses. I do find it odd to see him requesting so many things before staying there, I am not sure I even booked ahead when I stayed there. Maybe a phone call would be helpful?

As such, it is a place I can recommend, definitely!
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
@amancio I am really happy to get your positive feedback. The owner and the rural atmosphere sound wonderful. I’ll give him a call. Thank you.
 
We stayed there last August. It was a lovely, clean place. About 100m to the restaurant where we had a communal meal in the evening. There was a flock of chickens in the field, which were absolutely stunning, really well cared for. We booked through booking.com. I know that they (Booking.com) do take a commission, but sometimes that is preferable to having to give all your details via an email.
 
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
It is also on Booking.com
Maybe they have availability for the day you want to stay there.
 
Thank you all. I do see it on Booking. I’ll book through that site.
