I am not one to write reviews and hate complaining but was forced by friends I was travelling with to write a review. On my third nights stay I was moved into another dorm because my friend had arrived and had a different room booked for us. We had seen a German girl that had been bitten by bed bugs in this dorm and her joints had swollen so badly she had to leave. At the time I was not aware of this, but we were still put in this dorm the following morning after the German girl had been bitten. After one night in this dorm I became quite itchy in the morning and by lunch time you could see the hundreds of bites all over my body. It ended up being quite painful and extremely itchy for 2 weeks. I showed the girls at the desk and they were pretty shocked, the lady who owned Covatsch was behind the desk also. I refused to pay for that nights stay or atleast get a discount for the night. The lady stared at me blankly and said if you dont pay then you leave right now. She gave no apology, no help and became very rude for the rest of the morning along with continuously following and starring at me. The girls on reception told me they were embarrassed about what had happened and how the hostel management had responded....I am not one to write reviews and hate complaining but was forced by friends I was travelling with to write a review.

There are many other problems with the hostel that I won't mention but DO NOT go here, there's plenty of other hostels in San Pedro that have really nice people working there, similar prices and better vibes. I have attached some photos of the bites 5 days after it happened, they were taken blindly with a GoPro so aren't the best quality and there were plenty more bites on all other parts of my body.More
