Dear Asawin, Thank you for taking the time to rate your stay with us. It is of course disappointing to see such a low score so it would be a great learning exercise if we could know more. We would very much appreciate it if you would get in contact in order to discuss your time with us in more detail. Best regards, Aichane Agut, Location Manager
