It
pains
me
to
write
this
review,
as
most
of
my
5-day
stay
was
splendid,
and
all
of
the
other
staff
were
lovely.
However,
on
my
friend
and
mine's
final
night,
we
had
a
roommate
in
the
shared
female
dorm
who
told
us
that
she
had
a
lung
infection
(the
day
after
she
arrived,
which
was
deeply
inconsiderate).
My
friend,
myself,
and
another
roommate
of
ours
went
to
ask
the
front
desk
if
they
could
speak
with
her
about
possibly
relocating.
We
were
understandably
concerned
about
someone
having
a
respiratory
illness
while
COVID
is
still
very
much
present.
The
man
who
was
working
(he
refused
to
give
his
name,
but
this
was
the
evening
of
April
4th,
2023)
went
to
speak
with
her
and
returned
to
the
desk
saying
she
said
she
just
had
a
cold,
even
though
she
told
us
otherwise.
I
calmly
explained
to
him
that
we
were
concerned
she
had
serious
COVID
symptoms,
and
he
immediately
became
defensive
and
quite
aggressive
with
us.
He
shouted
at
me
saying
"COVID
is
over!"
and
said
"What
if
I
told
you
I
had
a
lung
infection?
Would
you
accuse
me
of
having
COVID?"
At
this
point,
we
became
angry
and
explained
that
we
weren't
comfortable
entering
the
room
to
get
our
belongings,
including
my
mask,
and
I
asked
if
he
had
a
mask
I
could
use
which
he
responded
by
saying
I
could
walk
into
town
to
the
pharmacy
(which
was
closed,
since
this
was
9
pm)
and
buy
one
myself.
I
asked
him
what
the
hostel's
COVID
policy
was,
and
he
said
they
didn't
have
one,
even
though
there
was
a
poster
next
to
the
desk
that
explicitly
required
guests
to
report
all
symptoms.
When
I
showed
him
the
poster,
he
said
I
could
call
the
public
health
authority
number
and
laughed
saying
"It
doesn't
work
though".
He
then
said
that
the
other
guest
had
a
negative
test
result,
so
I
went
into
the
room
with
a
shirt
over
my
face
and
asked
her
if
she
did
and
she
said
she
did
not
(she
was
coughing
aggressively
when
I
came
into
the
room).
I
finally
became
so
aggravated
that
I
told
the
man
that
I
was
willing
to
pay
for
the
other
person
to
have
a
private
room
(as
it
would
be
easier
than
me,
my
friend,
and
our
other
roommate
moving
out)
and
he
said
I
was
more
than
welcome.
He
then
called
security
over
to
the
desk
to
try
and
intimidate
us,
and
after
I
stood
our
ground,
he
finally
booked
her
into
a
private
room
(and
thankfully
didn't
charge
me).
He
never
apologized
to
any
of
us,
did
nothing
to
clean
or
air
out
the
room,
and
was
absolutely
the
rudest
hostel
manager
I
have
ever
encountered
in
over
10
years
of
staying
in
hostels
around
the
world.
The
fact
that
he
is
even
employed
by
this
establishment
is
shocking
and
should
serve
as
a
warning
to
other
guests
to
look
elsewhere
when
they
stay
in
Curaçao.
