Hi George, we are disappointed that you left this review even though you did not stay with us. :( It's very unfair simply because you have booked the wrong location and tried to cancel the room very last minute.

No kitchen sink was a surprise. The shower was very new and modern but the hot water temp was a bit low in my opinion, other than that , it was ok.

Response from Miyuki & Jason on 5 Nov,2023
Hello, Ross.Thank you for your review.The room you have booked doesn't have a kitchenette, nor a sink in the room as stated on the booking website. There are other room types that have kitchenette for your consideration next time you choose to stay. As for the water temperature, we will get a plumber to look at it. Thank you for raising this to us.

Room was not serviced for 2 days. Had to ask for toilet paper,new towels and milk which should be checked and serviced daily! When asked about these devices, the staff said, sorry it wasn't on the list for service! Apart from that, good central location but not sure if I would stay there again..
Response from Bella Vista Management on 7 Jan,2023
Hello Cris,It is very disappointing to hear this. I've personally checked the service sheets for the unit for the two mornings your unit was supposed to be serviced, and it was listed on both service sheets, so there was NO excuse for the cleaning crew not to service the unit. Milk isn't provided on a daily basis, but the other matters should have been addressed. Unfortunately, when I saw you during your stay (twice), you didn't mention this, and so we were unaware of this situation. Please mention these things in future, as we pride ourselves on providing a good service to our guests.

I liked the cleanliness of the unit. The layout was nice. Lovely bathroom facilities. No standard cooking facilities but i asked and they provided, happy. Serviced daily, happy. Close to town, happy. No sky tv, only thing i didn't like. I don't have it at home, nice to have it in a motel. On departure asked about recycling, was told to leave in unit, happy.

Thank you for your review. I do apologize if you were not happy with your room. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to change your accommodation experience with Bella Vista if you leave a review online stating that you were not satisfied with something. I can however improve your experience if you come to reception with your concerns. We do try to accommodate everyone as best we can and try to move guests to different rooms if they are not satisfied. Please keep in mind we are at reception to help with anything you're not happy with. Please always feel free to raise your concerns with us. We are there to help.
