Dreadful customer service

Would not recommend this business. Cleaners don't do the job they're paid to do and then won't accept responsibility for thie ommissions when you bring it to their attention.

They may be OK for a one-off cleaning job, but they cut corners when it's weekly.

Approximate cost: $200

One of the girls suggested I have fillers under my eyes. I was so scared, but went for it. It has made an amazing difference and no bruising and no pain. I find this business truly exceptional. The care, expertise and trust factor make it a cut above the rest.

Approximate cost: $400

Always consistently high standards and they are very experienced, professional and friendly. I have never trusted a business more than Lady At Bay. I never question their advice and I love their special offers. I always get compliments about my skin and no-one believes me when I tell them I'm in my 40s - they think I'm in my 30s, which makes me feel fabulous. It's relaxing and peaceful and I look forward to my treatments.

Approximate cost: $155 for my facial

I bought my girlfriend a massage for her birthday and I decided I'd go with her for my regular facial. I was really surprised (but delighted) when they brought out little cakes, chocolates and Champagne as an extra treat for my girlfriend and me. It's always nerve racking when you recommend a place to friends - you hope it'll all turn out fine. I shouldn't have worried. They are very professional at Lady At Bay and I always get comments about my skin and how good I look. We were both really happy with our treatments and we had a great day. I'd recommend them to everyone.

This was an excellent experience. I'd never been there before and we went for my brother's birthday. We all ordered different dishes and they were excellent - no complaints from anyone. Our waiter was exceptionally knowledgeable about the food and wine and he was courteous, efficient and attentive without being intrusive. The view was fantastic - I recommend a table with views out to the Heads. All in all everything was perfect and I'd certainly recommend it to anyone. Well worth the money.

This review is for Shangri-La Hotel, The Rocks NSW

We had booked a table for afternoon tea and stayed all day for drinks and supper. The first waiter was very accommodating and couldn't do enough for us, but the standard deteriorated into the evening and we had NO service from the 2 girls in the bar area. When we arrived, the lobby area was dirty (crumbs and food on the carpet, table and chairs and there was a huge cockroach (highly visible) in the reception area. We brought this to the attention of a couple of waiters, but nothing was done right up until the time we left. This was Saturday! I wouldn't go back - it was expensive and not up to the standard you'd expect.

Approximate cost: $400 +

This review is for Agius School Of Music, Winston Hills NSW

I was going to Charles for many many years to do piano and singing lessons, but the journey out to Baulkham Hills became just too much with work and everything else. I miss Charles' jokes and our lessons - he always made my lessons fun. He's also very knowledgeable. I'm sure that's the only reason I managed to pass my exams. When my children are older I'll certainly get him to teach them and I want to finish my diploma. He's amazingly patient, very experienced and his knowledge is a bottomless pit. He seems to know everything about music, despite how hard I try to research information I 'm sure he can't possibly know. Charles is a very special music teacher and a lovely person. He's well worth the money and the best teacher around.

This review is for Lochiel House, Kurrajong Heights NSW

Excellent. The owners are really passionate about the produce they cook and serve and it shows. The portions are a bit small for the price, otherwise my partner and I would eat there more regularly. But this a really very special little restaurant and romantic, too. The food and wine list is limited but excellent. Well worth the trip, especially for lunch. I recommend booking an outdoor table. Just perfect!

The owner and Vanessa always call me by name and make me really good coffee. I go there regularly when I'm in the area visiting my parents. Everyone's always so happy and cheerful and they always seem packed out with customers. I love their cakes, especially the caramel mud cake - it's to die for.

I've been going here for many years even though I don't live in the area any more. I keep going back because they are excellent at hair cutting and colouring. Nothing's too much trouble and even when they're busy they'll book my appointment in. Ray especially is a master at cutting and I've got to the stage where I just say do what you want because he's so good. My hair always looks good afterwards.
