That's correct. And baño compartido is a shared bath.The only answer is “it depends”.
“Busco una habitación privada con baño privado”
You may find that a room in a pensión or hostal is no more expensive than a private room in an albergue. A hostal is different from a hostel. They are small, often family run businesses with private rooms/baths often on only one or two floors of a building.Thanks for the quick response. Noted that private rooms may or may not share a bathroom.
I anticipate wanting/needing to stay in a private room every week or so, to give myself a break from the snoring, or because I'm taking a rest day and want to sleep in a bit.
I also anticipate wanting/needing to stay in a room with a private bathroom/shower every week or so, to give myself a break from sharing a bathroom - the least anticipated part of my camino. I'd choose a private bathroom over private sleeping quarters if I had a choice. Never been a fan of public bathrooms, but I'm going to have to suck it up and get communal I guess, as I will be staying at a mix of municipal and private albergues. Doubt I will want to spring for an actual hotel room or pension, except perhaps at the very end.
Also, depending upon the size, but all Casa Rurals or similar guarantee a private bathroom. We stayed in a few that had shared toilet/shower down the hall from the rooms.Just wondering, when booking a private room at an albergue does that also mean a private bathroom/shower? Or it's just the bed that's private and you're still using the same bathroom/shower as everyone else?

I can think of a few under 50 euros with private bath. For example at this one in Shahagun it is simple, but a double room is 20 euros. https://www.gronze.com/castilla-y-leon/leon/sahagun/albergue-peregrinos-santa-cruzThanks for all the info. I've become fairly familiar with the dorm room price of albergues - municipal and private, but what is the range of costs for a private room in an albergue or a pension or similar. In other words, not an expensive hotel. Can a private room with private bath generally be found for 50 euros, or would I be looking at more? I know prices vary, but on average. Just trying to get a sense of how many nights in a private room I can afford...
Yes, you can often get a private room with ensuite bath for 50€ or less.Can a private room with private bath generally be found for 50 euros,
Look at booking.com. Many private albergues, hostales and casa rurales list both private rooms and dorm beds, and you can get a good idea of what range is available, even if you choose not to use booking for the reservations.what is the range of costs for a private room in an albergue or a pension or similar.
You will know when you book.The answer is often, but not always. Some are just a separate room where you share the main bathroom and others do have a separate private bathroom. I have stayed in both kinds.
So you're saying that private rooms in Casa Rurales always have private bathrooms, except when they don't?Also, depending upon the size, but all Casa Rurals or similar guarantee a private bathroom. We stayed in a few that had shared toilet/shower down the hall from the rooms.

I am in the process of booking private rooms (most with private baths) for my Camino next year, and I would say the average is probably about 45 euros.Thanks for all the info.

I've been in that situation twice, and amazingly it worked out!One bathroom shared by several people with the only toilet INSIDE the bathroom? That's a NO....
I have stayed in quite a few places like this - and it always works out! Somehow I was always able to take a shower or use the toilet when I needed to.One bathroom shared by several people with the only toilet INSIDE the bathroom? That's a NO......
When I've booked, I always ask to be sure....... Sometimes the reviews give a clue.When I book a private hostel via booking.com., booking indicates whether the room has a private bathroom or a shared bath. However, it does not indicate how many rooms are sharing the bathroom.
I found that more often than not, private rooms did offer private showers. There were occasions where you had a private room to sleep, but not the showers/toilet.Just wondering, when booking a private room at an albergue does that also mean a private bathroom/shower? Or it's just the bed that's private and you're still using the same bathroom/shower as everyone else?
sed Booking.com. Then you will know what you are getting.Thanks for the quick response. Noted that private rooms may or may not share a bathroom.

I stayed there last week. Just has the basics but I highly recommend the experience.I can think of a few under 50 euros with private bath.

Depends is correct. However if you know where you want sleep at sent a text of call the Albergue. Ask if the room has its own privately bathroom. Worked great for me on my last 3 Caminos. Buen CaminoJust wondering, when booking a private room at an albergue does that also mean a private bathroom/shower? Or it's just the bed that's private and you're still using the same bathroom/shower as everyone else?
My experience is that they do.Just wondering, when booking a private room at an albergue does that also mean a private bathroom/shower? Or it's just the bed that's private and you're still using the same bathroom/shower as everyone else?
YES! I have had that too and that drives me crazy. I prefer a shared bathroom to a private bathroom that you have to use a key to open and close. Especially at night it was a total pain in the butt! And you feel like you are waking up the entire building because they key is always noisy. I have had that more in Italy than in Spain thoughOccasionally I've had a room in a hostal or pensión with a private bath that was not connected to my room, which was kind of a pain, as I had a separate key for my room and for the bathroom, and every time that I got up in the middle of the night I had to make sure that I had both keys, and locked all the doors.
