I've just completed this section and spoken to many pilgrims who didn't book anything and who slept in very quiet albergue dorms. I can't say for private rooms. In particular new albergues I hear are very quiet. I particularly enjoyed Casa de reigo in ? and o santo in Arzua.

I just competed this section and tried to book ahead, becaus so many places were completo, which means full, or no vacancies.

Sometimes the second or third choice had plenty of room though.
