This property is in the ghetto ghetto proper. Came in and heard gunshots. I did not spend the night there.

I presented tons of issues while trying to complete the check-in process online, it kept giving me an error and when I tried to contact customer service about it they never responded.
At the moment of arriving to the hostal, the lady in charge was completely rude, telling me to not ring the bell and that she couldn’t help me if I didn’t have the check-in code.
Later on, once I reserved somewhere else, customer service contacted me and admitted the reason why they were not answering my calls was because they were “taking a nap” and tried to get me to email them my information, but in the end we decided not to follow-up with it, because the hostal was located in a place where it didn’t seem very safe and we didn’t have a great experience with neither the host or the customer support service.

I did everything by the book and was still denied entry due to not having received a code to the door. I had to find another place. And since Expedia was unable to contact them, my refund was denied. So 0 out of 10.
