- Carlos (10/5): Do melhor que já Vi - Acima de Tudo a Higiene e beleza envolvente do espaço. As condições para acolhimento dos peregrinos são muito boas. A refeição estava deliciosa e quantidade muito generosa. De realçar o carinho no acolhimento e tratamento do peregrino. Muito muito bom mesmo.

- Albertus (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): O Xistral is an unexpected gem on the Camino del Norte! - Jaime has built an amazing albergue in a really scenic and convenient location on the Camino.

- Adriano (9/5): Fantastico -
- Claudius (10/5): Ein Juwel auf dem Camino del Norte - Selten habe ich mich auf meinem Camino del Norte so willkommen gefühlt wie in der Albergue O Xistral. Schon beim Betreten spürte ich, dass hier Herz und Seele im Mittelpunkt stehen. Der Gastgeber war unglaublich herzlich und aufmerksam und schuf sofort eine Atmosphäre, in der man sich einfach fallen lassen konnte – genau das, was man nach einem langen Pilgertag braucht.
Das Haus selbst ist liebevoll eingerichtet, sauber und mit vielen kleinen Details versehen, die zeigen, wie viel Wert hier auf das Wohl der Gäste gelegt wird. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das Essen: Es war nicht nur köstlich, sondern mit spürbarer Hingabe zubereitet – frisch, regional und einfach wunderbar nach einem langen Wandertag.
Diese Herberge ist weit mehr als nur eine Unterkunft – sie ist ein Ort des echten Ankommens, des Austauschs und der Ruhe.
- Steffen (10/5): - Super netter Hospitaliero. Pool im Garten. Wunderschönes, perfekt ausgestattetes Haus!, das über Jahre selbst umgebaut wurde vom Besitzer. Kehrt ein und lauscht der Geschichte.
Man MUSS als Pilger hier gewesen sein.
Danke, Jamie!
- Valerie (10/5): - Accueil, ambiance, lieu
- Ana (10/5): Excepcional! - El albergue una verdadera belleza, una construcción antigua de piedra reformada pero conservando su encanto! Jaime, el propietario, muy amable y gentil! Nos hizo sentir a mi esposo y a mí como en casa. El desayuno tipo europeo, estaba incluido en el precio, estuvo muy bien, variado y abundante. También es de destacar la comodidad, limpieza y el entorno natural.. Nada, todo perfecto!!!

- Alruna (10/5): Wir sind fantastisch bekocht worden und jede Menge Essen und Getränke für das Frühstück standen bereit. - Die Unterkunft war die schönste auf meinem Pilgerweg von Deutschland nach Santiago de Compostela.

- Monique (10/5): Hele fijne plaats om te overnachten! - Zeer mooie albergue! Heel vriendelijke man. Avondeten goed verzorgd en lekker, ook het ontbijt. Alles zeer netjes. Ideaal voor een overnachting tijdens de camino of voor een langer verblijf. Een aanrader!

Un 10.
- Fiona (10/5): -
- Yolanda (9/5): Una estancia agradable en un lugar muy bonito. - No nos faltó de nada un bonito jardín,piscina,una buena cena,camas cómodas....un albergue rural muy bonito. En el desayuno nos faltó un poquito de embutido queso jamón....pero bueno justo pero bien.

- moran (9/5): !Muy recomendable! - Es un paraje hermoso en medio de la nada, muy limpio Nos dejo el desayuno en la noche, pero por la mañana el dulce de los bollos atrajo a las hormigas, pero son cosas que pasan, no es culpa de la administración
- Elena (10/5): -
- Philippe (8/5): -
- Lynette (10/5): Great respite at the end of a days walking. Highly recommend having the dinner - The property was very relaxing to stay in with lovely grounds and communal spaces. The host cooked one of the best meals I had experienced on the Camino
- Pui (9/5): Great stay - It was super clean Its located far from city centre, you may need to buy thing in supermarket in city centre and carry it with you
- Kamil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Courtney (10/5): Very homely Camino stay - The property was easy to find, it’s on the Camino path just down the road as you cross the bridge. The property is very homely and the communal dinner they serve was delicious.
The beds and comfortable and with proper linen sheets- a luxury after a days walk. The bathrooms are also very clean with great temperature/pressure.
There is not much more you could ask for on the Camino than what O Xistral provides, a pool to help with recovery, place that feels like a home and a delicious warm meal.
- Bryanne (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible area, the pool was amazing! Highly recommend the communal dinner, so delicious!
- Rima (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Amazing place to rest up - Amazing restored building, garden and location. Spacious airy rooms, rustic bathrooms and very quiet. Great to meet other pilgrims while sharing the evening meal Although the quality of the food was very good, the potato omelette and salad for the main course was a little disappointing
- Gherasim (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best, I wish I could stay one more day. So hospitality, the hostess even cook for us. Beautiful with an amazing history of the house and hard work!
- Milica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nunez (10/5): Excellent Albergue! - Everything but especially the swimming pool. Everything was amazing!
- Peter (8/5): A wonderful Albergue for a great Camino experience. - Beautifully restored farm house on very nice grounds situated one step from the Camino. A good family dinner is available as well as games and activities for the down time at this remote location. An outstanding value for the price. Minor issue: Only a continental breakfast is provided. Would have liked the option for some protein.
- Sean (10/5): One of the best Albergue experiences we have had on the Camino Del Norte, Well done Jaime. - The host was great, very attentive to each guest. Was perfect as we were walking the Camino Del Norte, literally on the route. Communal dinner was great way to meet fellow pilgrims. Highly recomended. Nothing
