Mirador De Rouris

The walnuts and apples. The balcony. The country feel. Room 2.

Nothing.

It is a lovely clean, large and spacious with ample showers and toilets. There are lock-up cabins for valuables too. I liked the area outside too where one can eat or relax. The Hospitalera was amazing and very helpful.

There was a large group of pilgrims who arrived later that day. They went out for dinner, but only arrived back after 1.00 am up to 3.00 am and spoke in loud voices in the passage, disregarding other pilgrims who were tired and needed to be up early. It was our last evening before reaching Saint Jean de Compostela and it really put a negative feeling on everything. Many pilgrims walk in pain, emotionally and physically, and this kind of behavior should be discouraged by other pilgrims. The hostel should try to instruct groups especially. They clearly don't read notices.

Simple clean room Small. Shared bathroom

No fan or air conditioning No screens on window

Decent enough for one night if you don’t mind the mosquito bites

Bed had crumbs when I lifted up the duvet cover. Also left the window open overnight so I could keep cool and since am covered in mosquito bites, there was at least 10 of them flying around the room when I woke up.

Clean room and bathroom. Cloths Washing could be done in trough for free.

No ventilation in room, terrace front room so you could not leave window open, very hot. Light from the road shone all night, had to have everything in the room closed to try to block the light. Terrace gets full afternoon sun

This was a little bit off the Camino, but well worth the extra steps. Mrs. Belén is a very sweet host who keeps everything clean and smelling good. If you have stayed at other places that smell bad, you will appreciate that Belén works hard to make sure air fresheners are on, linens smell fresh, and even the provided soap scents the bathroom. She also provides a little plug-in mosquito repellent for guests, the first time I have ever had a host think about guests with this level of detail. Although there is no kitchen on-site, she has menus posted for nearby places, including one that delivers, and she will carefully explain how it all works. Here’s another example of how she thinks about her guests: instead of typing a wifi password, she has a QR code to just point and click. My room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom. The shower stall was huge! The facilities were a tad worn down, but since everybody is still sort of recovering from the pandemic, it makes sense that some investments will be coming a bit later. Belén is really into gardening and will happily show you all the varieties of fruit trees and veggies she is growing, and her flowers are so pretty! The above-ground pool was not in operation yet; I stayed in May 31st and it was still a couple weeks too early. Overall, I was very pleased with my stay in this tranquil place and would recommend it highly!

The shower door leaked water in the bathroom, but that was fixed with a rolled-up towel. Belén’s husband has a collection of antique machinery around the yard that would be really cool to write up a bit about each thing and display it, for us nerdy types. Not really a negative!
