Are you looking for accommodation in bunk beds in dorms, or private rooms? If you are thinking of making reservations in advance (even just a day or so) it would be a good idea to become familiar with some online booking sites such as booking.com and hotels.com in English, where you can get reviews, as well as a translation app for your smartphone. Try this before you leave home!

You have asked for recommendations for 17 locations. People will have very different opinions, and they will have different criteria from yours! We have no idea what your preferences are. :) Perhaps the best thing to do would be to enter the word "albergue" followed by the name of each town into the search box in the upper right of the forum. Then you'll get a lot of suggestions that you can then evaluate. Or even enter those words in Google.

Good luck!

Are you planning to stop at all of these places? Many of them are quite close together. Such as Rabanal and Foncebadon, Molinaseca and Ponferrada, Las Herrerias and O Cebreiro (without the '), Ligonde and Palas de Rei.
 
Hi joeandmiki -
Refugio Gaucelmo at Rabanal is wonderful. The property is beautiful and it's staffed completely by volunteers. It’s known as the "English" Refugio as it's owned by the Confraternity of St James, a U.K. based Camino support organisation. The hospitaleros serve afternoon tea each day and provide a basic breakfast in the morning. The accommodation is comfortable and there is a spacious kitchen in which to cook a meal if you wish to. It's donativo. A warm welcome is assured when you stay at this lovely haven of peace on the Camino.
Buen Camino -
Jenny
