They
lock
the
gate
at
10:00
pm
and
go
to
sleep.
There
was
no
mention
of
this
to
begin
with.
I
learned
it
in
an
unpleasant
way.
Firstly,
this
is
not
a
built-for-a-hostel
place.
It
is
a
small
two-story
house
with
a
family
living
in.
There
are
a
few
small
rooms
upstairs
that
the
family
runs
as
a
“hostel.”
Due
to
Covid-19
pandemic,
there
was
no
other
traveler
than
myself.
At
9:45
on
a
Saturday
night,
I
decided
to
get
some
snacks.
I
returned
at
around
10:15,
and
the
gate
was
locked.
Rang
the
bell,
banged
on
the
door
until
the
neighbors
started
looking
out
of
their
windows,
but
nobody
unlocked
the
door.
Tried
two
more
times
in
the
following
two
hours,
threw
some
pebbles
at
one
of
the
bedroom
window,
but
to
no
vail.
Frustrated,
I
concluded
that
they
must
be
hibernating
and
had
to
find
a
hotel
to
spend
the
night.
It
was
an
expensive
one
because
no
other
hotels
accepted
credit
cards.
I
am
just
glad
I
had
my
credit
card
and
ID
with
me.
The
other
day,
I
go
at
10:30
am,
still
locked.
Finally
around
11:00,
I
saw
they
came
out
of
their
hibernation.
I
told
them
the
situation
and
asked
them
not
to
lock
the
gate
until
they
were
sure
I
was
in.
The
response
was
that
they
have
to
lock
the
gate
at
10:00
and
they
were
sorry.
Well,
who
comes
to
Orizaba
to
be
locked
on
a
Saturday
at
10:00
pm?!!
What
if
there
is
an
emergency,
and
I
need
to
get
out.
Why
am
I
not
provided
with
a
key
if
they
have
to
lock
the
gate?
If
I
had
known
that
there
was
a
curfew,
I
would
not
have
booked
this
place.
What
is
the
point
of
going
for
a
vacation
but
not
be
able
to
go
in
an
out
freely??
One
may
very
well
want
a
drink
or
something
on
a
freaking
Saturday
night!
I
had
trusted
the
ratings
of
this
place
but
can’t
understand
how
it
gets
a
good
rating.
It
was
more
like
Auschwitz
camp,
rather
than
Base
Camp
(what’s
the
deal?
are
we
suddenly
on
Mt
Everest?!).
The
rooms
were
too
small.
Can’t
imagine
how
it
would
be
at
full
capacity.
The
family
was
loud.
The
boiler
outlet
opened
directly
to
the
bathroom.
Language
barrier;
only
the
son
spoke
in
English.
I
felt
like
cast
away.
Bad
experience.
