- Jana (8/5): Nice place - Beautiful accommodation with a sunny garden. Room was spacious with a good shower. I did not eat dinner but heard it was good. Nice community spaces inside and outside. The room was too cold and the bed really uncomfortable, I’m afraid.
The town was not too inspiring.

- Cornelis (6/5): Een echte camino sfeer - De inrichting van de gemeenschappelijke ruimtes was heel leuk. Het gezamenlijke diner was leuk georganiseerd en smaakte prima. Na een lange dag lopen is een douche die alleen koud water gaf niet lekker. Misschien geen probleem als het boven de 30 graden is, maar het was toevallig een koude weeK. Het bed heeft een voetenbord. Voor heel lange mensen nooit prettig, maar de matras was gelukkig prima.
- Frederique (8/5): - Pas de petit déjeuner possible.pas de possibilité de faire bouillir de l eau ou réchauffer quoique ce soit.Sinon tout est parfait les hôtes sont charmants tout en laissant beaucoup d autonomie .Maison avec beaucoup de charme et très chaleureuse

- Torres (6/5): - La limpieza. Que no hay ningún ruido por la noche, ni se oye nada. La amabilidad de los empleados y de la dueña. A 15 min. de León. Las camas cómodas y Limpias. La habitación no tiene nada al ser un Albergue de Peregrinos a las 20h ya no se puede hacer ruido. No tiene ni TV. Ni barandillas en la litera por lo que es peligroso para niños que no estén acostumbradas a ellas. Solo para dormir muy bien eso si.

- Carlos (9/5): - Location None
- Gaby (8/5): -
- Marco (5/5): Für eine Nacht akzeptabel. - Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Lage auch super. Das Zimmer war sehr kühl und an der Decke im der Ecke war ein Schimmelfleck.
Wir wollten uns nachmittags in den schönen, grünen Garten setzen. Er war aber leider abgeschlossen.
Die Dame am Empfang war leider auch nicht so freundlich.
- Jose Manuel (10/5): Comodidad en todo - El bar con barbacoa en el jardín espectacular!! El olor delas habitaciones, la comodidad para sentarse y tener juegos de mesa y la la comida casera de Julio! 10
- Raymond (9/5): -
- Michael (10/5): - The property has a lovely courtyard with a bar and lunch available. The hostess, Kelly, is charming and does all she can to make her guests happy, including an always great group dinner .The location is great primarily because it’s only 12 km walk to the Catedral in Santiago. I have been here many times on previous Caminos and highly recommend it.

M'amener à mon.point de chute. Vraiment un immense merci à elle !!!!!j'ai pu finir ainsi mon chemin de compostelle grâce à sa bienveillance !!!
Merci merci !!!!!! Rien
- Sabine (7/5): - De tuin is prachtig Het menu del dia was weinig inspirerend. Kippenpoot met patat. De Camino is er vol mee.
- Alma (10/5): Estancia inolvidable - El trato fue excepcional Nada, todo perfecto
- Karen (10/5): - La zona de césped en la que podías tomar algo con el resto de viajeros Nada que reseñar
- Alves (9/5): -
- Susan (6/5): Wir werden wohl nicht wieder kommen - Der Checkin war sehr freundlich, leider kippte die Stimmung im laufe des Tages- zum Abendessen war wenig Herzlichkeit- wir Pilger fühlten uns nicht willkommen- das Essen wurde auf den Tisch „geknallt“ und selbst wenn es ein Pilgermenü ist, kann ma es liebevoll anrichten und servieren…geschmacklich ein Reinfall, leider! Der Ort an sich ist schön, die Betten jedoch unbequem (die Federn drückten bereits durch). Dieser Ort war jedoch sehr ruhig und bietet einen Waschplatz - die Waschbecken waren leider auch sehr schmutzig. Insgesamt sehr schade. Matratzen dürfen mal ausgetauscht werden
- Ana (8/5): - La chica que nos atendió fue súper amable. En las habitaciones se oye bastante el ruido de fuera.
- Nathalie (9/5): -
- Albert (10/5): Clean and comfortable stay. - Clean, comfortable, and quiet oasis with good dining.
- Jeremy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roberta (8/5): Good location for Camino. - Just off Camino path with nice garden area. She let me in a bit early I was in room four and beds were hard. I was let in early but then she never came back and gave me any information-I figured it out though.
- Cathy (9/5): Superb - lovely place, very helpful staff
- Mark (10/5): Perfect for the Camino de Santiago - Perfect cost effective location for Camino pilgrims Nothing
- Melanie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Loretta (8/5): Very good -
- Kristine (9/5): Superb - Just off the Camino, so very quiet. Beau garden with bar - very peaceful, good laundry facilities, nice communal meal. Shops within walking distance for anything extra you need Nothing
- Liza (7/5): Good -
- Conor (10/5): Excellent relaxing place with friendly and generous owners. Family run business. - Owners are incredibly friendly and the breakfast was fantastic. Thank you! Everything was perfect, thanks.
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ophelia (9/5): Good value - It was a country house away from the main road , so very peaceful and quiet. Very efficiently run by a lady who was everywhere , instructing staff and pilgrims. Large area for laundry and drying . Dinner was good . The floor of the shower stall could have used a good scrub.
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Karen (8/5): Old Spanish charm. - Like the old Spanish style. Mattresses were tiny for twin size and very soft.
- Larry (10/5): One of the best Albergue on the Camino. - As pilgrims walking the Camino, everything about Albergue San Pelayo was top notch. Husband and wife run the operation and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best it can be. Beautifully kept courtyard as well as everything inside, delicious home cooked pilgrims dinner. Breakfast is typical Spanish style of toast and jams, coffee and pastries. Room was clean and fresh. Would stay here again. No complaints
- Mon (9/5): Superb -
- Edy (10/5): Solo Camino - It was very rustic homey. Had a fireplace going in a sitting area, which was nice because people were coming in cold. The communal dinner was meh, but fun with everyone. Room was just OK. I gave it a 10 because it was typical pilgrim. The cat greeter was GREAT. And whoever checked me in was AWESOME getting me a taxi for the next morning. My room was cold. But I am guessing in a typical year it would not have been cold out.
- Andrew (5/5): Passable - The owner and her cat were great access the dinner. Cold room and toilet ran through
- Pieter (8/5): A friendly family focused stay in a warm environment. - The staff/family were friendly and welcoming. The room was nicely appointed. The establishment had a homely appeal with many places to sit and relax . The food was excellent. The one short coming was the smell in the bathroom area. It is an issue we have noticed in other older European establishments.
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Darren (8/5): Very good -
- Rob (7/5): Good -
