    Which would I rather be? Treated with the same respect that I showed her. That’s not an unreasonable expectation.

    The comment was in no way nasty. And it had zero to do with being “tired and put out”. It was simply the worst service I’d ever received, under any circumstances. And it was completely bizarre that she claimed they were “completo” when they...

    Please see my post SlowCamino2024 above this one. You were right to share this and save others from an expensive bad experience. I was planning to stay there in September. Having worked in hospitality for decades, I have no patience for...

    I’m 58 with bad knees, and well aware of the slow speed with which I hike. Knowing I have a place to stay for the night enables me to stay true to the spirit of the Camino and stay present in the moment. Booking.com has no control over the...
