Complaints (539.53 Ko)
Dear sir, madam
I am writing regarding my recent visit to your spa on the 15 January. When I arrived I was told that the massage therapist was late and that I would have to wait a short amount of time for my first treatment. I ended up waiting 40 minutes.
When I used the changing suites, the floor was wet and a bit dirty. As a result, I slipped and broke a fingernail. When I told the staff about what had happened they were unfriendly and advised me to wear slippers. But the slippers are not included in the price.
To conclude I am highly dissatisfied with my experience at your spa and won’t recommend it to my friends.
Yours faithfully,
Bree Van de Kamp
