Just reserved Orisson Refuge for 24 May 2020!
I also got the email confirming my pre-order, no option to pay. But am happy to have an order number! Apparently this system is new - previously all bookings were via email and a very long wait for a reply.Wonderful! I contected them last week to reserve earlier in May 2020 for my first night on the Camino (not counting my first evening in SJPdP) and received an email from them thanking me for my "pre-order"and explaining that I can expect to receive a payment request when my date is released "at a future date". But I haven't supplied any payment information yet, and am not sure whether this counts as an official confirmation. Is this how they generally handle reservations?

Buen Camino to you too!Yes, based on my earlier research I was led to believe the booking process would be more drawn out and nebulous than it actually seems to be. It's definitely good to have at least some confirmation of my request. Looks like we'll be missing each other there by about a week but wishing you all the best for a Buen Camino!
You won't have an official confirmation until payment is made.Wonderful!

I got my confirmation and paid for May 5th... woohoo
A few weeks, just keep checking, they may be going faster now..seems many are getting their conformationsYay! How long did it take between making your initial reservation and receiving a request for payment? Just curious what the time frame is like. I'd imagine they're pretty inundated over there ...

Orisson was actually completely closed for most of the month of November and weren't processing reservation requestsA few weeks, just keep checking, they may be going faster now..seems many are getting their conformations
Woohoo yay... And lo, I woke this morning to find a payment request ("facture pour la commande") in my Inbox! Total interval between submitting my initial reservation request and receiving this: four days
Thanks to everyone who helped shepherd me through the process! Perhaps I'll see some of you there next May? I'll be the one who looks like the photo in my user icon, as soon as I change it from a picture of my dog.
I am paying $44.07 u.s. not sure if that is supper.? I think supper is extra..So the total cost for staying one night with dinner, bed and breakfast is €82? Prices have risen.
I did SJPP to Roncesvalles previously, but after hearing so many great stories from peligrinos about it, I was determined to stay in May. Can’t wait!.... but you can reach Roncesvalles without the need to stop there.

How exciting....... I'm walking my first Camino next year and also hope to walk to Finasterre. Do you plan on going to Muxia too? I keep reading how lovely it is there so hopefully may have time to take a bus ride from Finasterre if there is one?Just reserved Orisson Refuge for 24 May 2020! Very excited to be starting the Camino from SJPDP that day and continuing all the way to Santiago, and hopefully Finisterre. Due to limited annual leave have only previously walked 6-8 days each year and took five years to do entire Camino.
Also doing Sarria-Santiago from 17 January to celebrate a BIG birthdayHope to meet some forum members along the Way.
I received an email with the Paypal link confirming my booking five days after I reserved. Great service!I have May 25th reserved and deposit paid. Once they began sending invoices, it took 2-3 weeks for them to respond
It is indeed very exciting to be planning the full Camino! Yes, I am hoping to go to Muxcia and then to Finisterre. That way if I’m short of time I can get one of the many daily buses back to Santiago. Buen Camino!How exciting....... I'm walking my first Camino next year and also hope to walk to Finasterre.

I understand from various Camino FB pages I'm on that people are now starting to get their invoice to pay their booking at Orisson. I guess they go through dates in order.Just reserved Orisson Refuge for 24 May 2020!

I figure, yes. It looks like they had a break in November as they asked me to book again after the 15th,. I did and have got the booking sorted for a night. Just before I got confirmation though, I contacted Orisson directly by phone and was told they are quite inundated and already some days are fully booked for advance reservations and for some days they cannot take further advance reservations. It sure is a popular halt!I understand from various Camino FB pages I'm on that people are now starting to get their invoice to pay their booking at Orisson. I guess they go through dates in order.
Yes, and they only have 28 beds, so it fills up fast, especially with so much "word of mouth" advertising on FB groups and this forum!It sure is a popular halt!
Yay.... we will meet at Orisson on the 24th, I've also had my booking accepted for that nightIt is indeed very exciting to be planning the full Camino!

WowYay.... we will meet at Orisson on the 24th, I've also had my booking accepted for that night.
Just a follow-up question. Did anyone receive a pre-order number when booking on the website but did not receive a confirmation email of receipt of pre-order? Without confirmation email does this mean my pre-order did not completely go through? Concerned there is a disconnect with my email address in US and the booking service. Any response appreciated. Buen Camino.Thanks Corelacka for your response. I was concerned that I did not get any email response after I placed my booking and received a preorder no. Email correspondence will happen only after the reservation has been approved. Buen Camino.
Great news Marcy. What date in May are you travelling?To All - disregard my posting from above. Contacted my email provider - he helped me locate the email response from Refugio Orisson. It was in a diff folder than junk mail. Anyway - all’s great. Invoice to pay as well. WooHoo!!! Hope to meet ya’ll along the Camino next May/June. Buen Camino.
I begin my pilgrim from SJPdP on May 21st.Great news Marcy. What date in May are you travelling?
I'm just behind you so hopefully we may meet at some stageI begin my pilgrim from SJPdP on May 21st.
Check your spam folder and/or your PayPal account.Still waiting for the payment link though, but I'm sure it's gonna come. It has to!
Thanks!Welcome to the forum! Wise decision to break up the first day, will making the journey over the Pyrenees easier. ¡Buen Camino!
Thanks! Just checked and nothing there yet. But from what I’ve read here, it takes ~5 days for them to send that payment link after the first (confirmation) email, so I guess I should get it tomorrow or on Monday.Check your spam folder and/or your PayPal account.
