Bedbugs In A Small Spanish Hotel.

[sandyRoe]

Friends walking with me stayed in a double room and were badly bitten by bedbugs.  There were none in my single room.  

They told the management about the problem and I asked them not to publicise it on-line as well.

The management would have moved to eradicate them and bad publicity would have harmed the business.

What would you have done?

I would consider the welfare of guests and let it be known there was a bedbug infection.Very selfish action on your behalf. What reason or motif do you have to protect a infection in a guest house?

the fleas that tease in the high Pyrenees?

I suppose it would depend on your faith in the management. If they really seemed likely to take action, let them. If you suspected they'd just say mañana, then you might have felt a higher duty to fellow travellers, and broadcast Instagrams of your wounds. But personally I think I'd have shut up.

I suppose one could try to sleep tight and hope.

Fair enough if the management acted immediately! My daughter was bitten to bits in a London hostel and they did nothing so I called in the public health and yes they were shut down.  Only act if they don't!

I would be thankful I'd had a comfortable night in my single room and stay out of the bedbug issue.
