Hotel Rural O Cruce do Burgo

I can only give this place a five stars. It was a pleasant experience on the Camino. Since I arrived Begoña the owner was very hospitable and explained everything with unmatched patience. The rooms are top comfort, brand new and cozy, and the restaurant attached to the hotel serves incredibly tasty food! There are some important things to keep in mind: The price is low for such an establishment but no food is included - not even breakfast. It costs 12€ for self service and the restaurant for dinner is expensive - be prepared! About the pool: do not expect a sauna as it is just that, a pool with around 30 degrees water in a heated room. The showers behind it have absolutely perfect hot water though! With that being said the kindness and attention of the owner and staff deserved a 10 stars. So the price is fully justified.

This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at on the Camino – an absolute gem on the route. Location The hotel is set in a tiny, peaceful mountain village. Quiet, scenic and completely relaxing – the perfect place to rest after a long day of walking. Room My room was huge, high (around 5 meters!) and extremely comfortable. • underfloor heating – a rare luxury on the Camino • plenty of pillows with different firmness levels • a very spacious shower area • a large TV • lots of outlets + USB ports by the bed • spotless everywhere, as if the hotel were brand new • excellent soundproofing – I slept incredibly well • individual temperature control on the wall that works perfectly Food Fantastic. • The lunch “menu del día” was delicious and served quickly • The portions were large and very filling • The staff speaks limited English, but they do everything they can to help and communicate nicely • Breakfast was great too: warm scrambled eggs, bacon, good coffee – a perfect start to the day Pool A highlight of my stay. There’s an indoor heated pool with a glass wall overlooking the mountains. After a full day of walking, having the whole pool to myself was pure bliss. Staff The staff is extremely kind, warm and flexible. I arrived early and had to wait about 5 minutes for check-in – during that time they brought me a coffee in the restaurant and refused to let me pay for it. A small gesture, but it says everything about their hospitality. Facilities • very fast WiFi (especially important because there is almost no mobile signal in the area) • early check-in from 12:00 • a cozy lounge area with board games and a place to relax ⸻ Overall: Everything here feels thoughtful and well-designed. It’s clean, comfortable, peaceful and run with genuine care. I could easily stay here for a full week – and on the Camino, that is the highest praise I can give. Highly recommended.

Stayed one night while hiking the Camino Primitivo. Very clean, great service, owners were very friendly, nice clean covered pool, excellent food, and allowed me to use the washer and dryer. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great stay!
