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?
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
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!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
@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.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
It is also on Booking.com
Maybe they have availability for the day you want to stay there.
