In trying to find accomodation for 4 ladies (need 2 rooms) in September. It seems the only place available is Venta Celta which has pretty awful reviews. Any suggestions? (We really want to stay in O Cebreiro and yes, we're wanting private rooms...don't judge too harshly.)
No one should be judging you for staying in private rooms, and many times it doesn't cost much more for two or more people to stay in one room vs two or more albergue beds. Plus, you are leaving the less expensive albergue beds to those who can't afford private rooms.(We really want to stay in O Cebreiro and yes, we're wanting private rooms...don't judge too harshly.)
I will check Gronze. Thanks.Did you check out Gronze or only bookingdotcom?
What is wrong with Venta Celta? I stayed there a few times, always sorry the other times when it was already booked up.In trying to find accomodation for 4 ladies (need 2 rooms) in September.

About them showers....I’ve never overnighted in O Ceb except in the municipal which has functioning plumbing, warm showers, grouchy staff and doesn’t serve Caldo Galego.
Sorry to hear that. ... Never stayed there myself, but dined there on two of my Caminos. (First time I ever sampled caldo gallego, and I loved it!) ... My impression of Venta Celta was/is that it is basically a busy restaurant that -- strictly as a side line -- rents rooms upstairs.It seems the only place available is Venta Celta which has pretty awful reviews.
We’re on my last encounter. I was entertained by those who chose to wash their knickers while wearing themAbout them showers..... . .
Are they still "locker room" style?

I suppose that’s one of the subtle differences that make the internationalism of Camino so interesting. European's wouldn’t have lookedI looked at her, she looked at me, and we were both like "whatever."

O Cebreiro was for many years the place where Don Elias Valiña served as parish priest and from which he led much of the work of rebuilding walking pilgrimages to Santiago. It was both literally and metaphorically a high point of the Camino for many of us who walked in the earlier years of the Camino revival. Something enhanced by the legend of the chalice in the church and the legacy of Don Elias himself. On my own first visit I slept on straw in a candlelit stone and thatch palloza and was immensely grateful for an experience little different from that of pilgrims hundreds of years before. I know that @David Tallan has written of sleeping on the floor beside the fire in the dining room of the hostal on his own first visit. Despite the sometimes tacky development it is still a place I approach very fondly.Just to say that I think this is one of those towns where Camino magic has been like the goose that laid the golden egg. I’m not disputing the negative reviews, but think that as the crowds increase, expectations increase, and satisfaction decreases.

Have you tried checking with Pension Casa Carolo (+34 982 367 168)? I stayed there Spring 2023 and I love my private room. They also have a good restaurant/bar on the ground floor. The have a great panoramic view of the distant mountains and valleys. They require reservation confirmation at least a day before your arrival.

I understood everything until that part. Please explain.nor ever why the Dolphins said: “so-long; and thanks for all the fish”.
When the Vogon destructor fleet materialised in Earth’s orbit in order to demolish it to make way for an hyperspace bypass the Dolphins all left the planet. Their last message, misinterpreted as a particularly complicated double back somersault and reverse flip, was actually “so-long; and thanks for all the fish”.I understood everything until that part. Please explain..
I stayed at Venta Celta in October 2024 and it was absolutely fine! Windows looking out to the valley, quiet and warm. Breakfasted there the next morning in front of the fire.

I have previously stayed at Venta Celta and loved it. This past November stayed at Hotel O'Cebreiro in a separate building across the road, only problem there was no Wifi in the bedroom but we went over to the Hotel to use it.In trying to find accomodation for 4 ladies (need 2 rooms) in September.

I also stayed at Casa Carolo private room in October 2024. Pleasant but might have been full.Have you looked only through the .com travel sites? I’ve stayed twice at Casa Carolo — clean rooms, good bar/restaurant downstairs and they might even wash your clothes for you. I believe it can only be booked by phone, so if your Spanish isn’t adequate, maybe a Spanish-speaker can phone for you. There may be other lodging places that must be contacted directly.
