In Reply to: Villa feedback posted by sidebar on Friday, 3. February 2006 at 06:10 Bali Time:
Just got in Sidebar and read through responses to you -a bit amazed at the responses to your enquiry and my feedback - somehow my positive feedback on this villa has really upset someone! Interesting that she accuses you ( and , I guess, me) of 'taking things personally' when she has accused us ( personally) of being on here frequently to 'promote the villas' - well Angie you are WAY out of line - I was at a friends house in Barmera, SA and she showed me how to register to use bali forum so I did. Saw sidebars enquiry and responded. In good faith. Not sure if you think you have monopoly on this site cos you are a regular, or you just have your own ( not so) hidden agenda , but suggest you check your facts first. Can't comment on your experiences at Seseh cos I wasn't there, you are right. But I will comment on my experiences - firstly you talk about the manager - 'He wasn't there at check out' - when it has been a 'she' for over a year! Then your story about the lights. The road is lit. Can't remember if it was for our first visit but it is now. And you say about bathing topless - well thats not appropriate in a traditional village setting for western women as anyone who travels to bali frequently would know. Go to Kuta if you want to do that, or take a villa that is totally enclosed ( we did that in the small villa on our first visit - has wall all the way around). And finally you complain about the baby crying next door but then in a later post say you were the only guests there!! Give us all a break! Have to wonder if you were there at all or just going on bad feeling and jealousy - what a shame if thats true, esp if you live in Bali - its a rotten way to do business and very bad karma. If you really had such a bad time, suggest YOU contact the manager ( why me?)and tell her,and she would no doubt deal with it - we found her extremely friendly and competent.
Anyway , I am sure sidebar will make his own decision ( looks like he has already) - now am off to enjoy my weekend - away from this screen! Have a great trip , Sidebar!
