Negative Reviews
One reviewer gave the spa 1 star due to a negative experience with a gift card. The reviewer purchased a gift card for their wife, but later moved away from Ballarat and gave the gift card to a family member. However, the spa refused to honor the gift card, citing that it was only intended for the original recipient. The reviewer was frustrated with the spa's poor customer service and felt that they were being unfairly denied a refund.
Issues with Customer Service
The negative reviewer was unhappy with the spa's response to their complaint, feeling that the staff were unhelpful and refused to take responsibility for the issue. The reviewer felt that the spa was trying to manipulate the situation by accusing them of being a "bully" and not taking responsibility for their actions.
