Good Afternoon! Leaving in a couple weeks to walk our second leg of the Camino Frances. Starting in Burgos where we left off 2 years ago. Made reservations at Casa De Abuelo in Hornillos de Camino back in March and emailed a couple of weeks ago to confirm our reservation. Can't elicit a response after a few emails and What's App messages. Can anyone confirm for me if they are open? Thanks in advance.

Google review of Casa rural la casa del abuelo by Daniele Fanin

âââââ "La Casa del Abuelo is a simple hostel in Hornillos del Camino that offers both dormitory accommodations and private rooms. The room we were given was basic and acceptably clean but had the serious fault of not having hot water and therefore we have been hugely disappointed. A basic...

There are other places to stay in Hornillos. Meeting Point is just across the street and offers the same lodging options. Abuelo has a small family run cafe, but there are alternative places to eat in town.
 
If reservations are already made and paid for... short of keeping trying to make contact by all means possible, there is not much I can offer
Else as @naplesdon said there are other places to stay. I stayed at El Alfar de Hornilos and liked it a lot
Good luck and Buen Camino
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I have stayed at all 3 and they are all much better than the basement of the municipal where I have also spent a night.
 
I had to check my calendar from 3 years ago because it sounded familiar. LOL Yep, 3 years ago today I stayed at La Casa de Abuelo. Had a great meal with the most massive slice of cantaloupe buried under a mound of jamon. The owner's mother clearly had Alzheimer's and followed me around, and patted my arm, while chatting to me. The owner and their son kept apologizing for her. I held her hand and told the owners it was okay. She reminded me of my mother who had died a few years prior from Alzheimer's.

Anyway, I hope they are still open. Pet Ringo and scratch his ears.
*wake up early if you can, the stars were amazing at 6am.

Very strange. I have stayed there twice and they are wonderful hosts.
Did you email/message in Spanish?
Maria doesn't speak much English I think, Belene her sister, a bit.
(if it's still the same family running it - maybe not from the post above)

From your post It's not 100% clear if you made a resevation that was confirmed at the time of booking and you are just seeking confirmation, or you have received no communication whatsoever.

If you have had no respose at all maybe try somewhere else?
 
What a lovely story! I will keep my eye open for Ringo and look forward to looking at the beautiful stars.
