Never had any. I had a mosquito spray with me and used it on my bed every night - don't know if that helped.

Sorry, it is too late for you, but anyone else might be interested.
I did the Camino last year in 24 days, which means I stayed in about 24 albergues. I had just one "bad bed"experience. It was in Sahagun, a private Albergue, looking very strangly good from outside. It was originally a big barn, and they formed an albergue from it. Which could have been very-very pleasent -- I was even given a free massage, which I really appreciated after so many days of walking.
But beeing awakened in the middle of the night, beeing biten all over.... The worst experience of the whole Camino.
Actually, I found the bug on my hand when I went to the bathroom. I could not go back to that bed, so I started walking by like 3:30.
I think once a place has bugs, you cant really do anything against them. But --fortunatelly-- most places don't.
I hope by now they do not have them, either.
Best wishes!
