I am a little confused as to the pricing for the double and triple rooms. Is the euro quote for the entire room or for each person? I am thinking that the quote is for the whole room unless otherwise specified, because 35-45 euros per person would seem pricey for a hostel!
First time post. My husband, my 13 year old daugher and I are planning our first camino for late May of 2016.
I have bought a guide book and am pouring through it as well as other resources on this site. Love the PDF that has a complete list of albergues!

Also, I have some concerns for my daughter in the dormitory albergues. Are they safe? I am sure that her father (63) and myself (47) will be sleeping VERY soundly after walking 20 miles per day.
I would think anything you see priced at 35-45 euros a night would not be an albergue. That is a hostel, hotel or pension house. Private rooms and private baths (sometimes shared baths). Albergues run anywhere from about 5-6 euros a night for the municipals, to 8-15 for private ones. Pretty much all the albergues, municipal or private are a dormitory type configuration. Anywhere from 10-40 pilgrims in one room. Snoring, farting, chatting etc. Getting up in the middle of the night for bathroom calls and getting up very early rustling around making noise. Lines to use the toilet, shower or even the sink. Just letting you know if you have never experienced communal living before. Takes a bit of flexibility and open-mindness. Honestly though, it ain't nothing but a thing and they seem very safe to me and your daughter will be sleeping right next to you. I would have the hospitalero put her in the bunk above you.First time post. My husband, my 13 year old daugher and I are planning our first camino for late May of 2016.

Same as anything else. Check-in time and check-out time, whatever those may be. I guess you could call it "per day".The question I'd like answered is if "per day " the same as "per stay" when staying at a private pension? Does anybody know?
ha ha.....I guess the young couple in one of the albergues I stayed at on my first Camino didn't know they were supposed to be "too tired" ha haHi Tonya.. on the PDF list of albergues many have an email address.. Why don't you email a few a find out about the prices.
Safety?? nothing to worry about. All pilgrims have walked a lot and are too tired to do anything else. Next to that.. there is a lot of respect for each other.. as person, as a pilgrim. Respect for each other and for each other's things....
Just have fun walking... enjoy the day and try tho to worry too much before hand.. Just go and experience. All will turn out well..
Hi, this is not quite related , it is just that I seen you started from Sarria which is where my brother and I are wanting to start from. We have walked from SjPDP to Santa Domigo last October. We are planning our route now . As you have just done it, would you have a itinery that I could work off? And how. Many days did it take. We seem to loose 4days just to get to the starting point.... I would love yo see your walk, .,totally understand if you can't .. You could email denise.hollyburnphysio@gmail.com. CheersMy wife and I just finished our pilgrimage from Sarria to Santiago in May. The term “Hostel” in Spain is a small hotel. A “Youth Hostel” in Spain is what I know as a hostel (a room with 4 to many bunk beds and shared with strangers”. The Albergues we stayed in ranged from 4 bunks to 19 bunks and charged 10€ per person. When we stayed in the Hostel San Palo in Lavacolla we paid 39€ for the two of us and this was a typical privet hotel room.
Personally I believe all of you will be fine "safe" in the Albergues. You could double up with your daughter (head to foot) and share a bunk with her or put her on the top bunk.
I know many people do walk 20 miles (32 Kms.) a day, but I hope this was a typo on your part. We walked about 10-12 miles (17-19Kms) a day and there were times I wished I could have taken more time to see more of the towns we passed and talked longer with the people we met along the way.
Buen Camino
