The environment and service were excellent; I was even thinking of giving it a five-star review after checking out. However, four hours after swiping my credit card to check out, my card was flagged for fraudulent transactions. My bank customer service called to report multiple unsuccessful large payments in several locations across Germany. I received nine consecutive text messages; the scammers tried various amounts in Euros and US dollars. Luckily, I had activated my overseas cardless payment lock. Because I hadn't used my card between paying at the hotel and the fraudulent transactions, I strongly suspect a problem with the guesthouse's POS machine. Furthermore, of the six hotels I booked on the Camino de Santiago, only this one had a guaranteed reservation with payment upon arrival. Everyone must be careful and avoid paying with credit cards.
