点评:This is the first negative review I have ever written, but our experience was disappointing enough that I feel compelled to share it.
Our family had been looking forward to staying at Château du Rivau for months. Given its reputation and the price of the accommodations, we expected it to be one of the highlights of our two-week trip to France. Unfortunately, it did not come close to meeting those expectations.
To start with the positives, the rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and the breakfast each morning was excellent. One of the breakfast hosts was especially warm and friendly, which we appreciated.
Unfortunately, several aspects of the stay fell short. The lighting throughout the château (hallways, our rooms and the check-in/check-out area) was quite poor, making many areas feel dark and difficult to navigate. The shower water was only lukewarm during our stay. We were also disappointed by the concierge-style services that were advertised but not realistically available. For example, the château brochure states that staff can assist with arranging activities such as wine tastings. However, when we asked for help, we were told that arrangements needed to be made weeks in advance. We ultimately contacted a winery ourselves and were able to schedule a tasting for the very next day, which made the response from the château particularly frustrating.
Most disappointing, however, was the level of hospitality. Aside from the one breakfast host mentioned above, we generally found the staff to be unfriendly and unwelcoming. One staff member was notably rude at the end of our stay, leaving us with a negative final impression.
Château du Rivau is undeniably a beautiful property, but for the price we paid, we expected a much higher level of service, comfort, and guest experience. While others may have a different experience, our family left feeling disappointed rather than delighted.
翻译:这是我第一次写差评,但我们的体验实在令人失望,所以我觉得有必要分享一下。
几个月来,我们一家人一直期待着入住里沃城堡酒店 (Château du Rivau)。鉴于它的名气和住宿价格,我们原本以为这会是我们为期两周的法国之旅的一大亮点。然而,它远未达到我们的预期。
先说说优点,房间漂亮又舒适,每天的早餐也很棒。其中一位早餐服务员特别热情友好,我们对此非常感激。
遗憾的是,入住体验的很多方面都令人失望。城堡内(包括走廊、房间和办理入住/退房手续的区域)的照明非常昏暗,导致很多地方感觉很暗,难以辨认方向。入住期间,淋浴水温也只有温热。此外,酒店宣传的礼宾服务也让我们感到失望,因为实际上并没有提供。例如,城堡的宣传册上说工作人员可以协助安排品酒等活动。然而,当我们寻求帮助时,却被告知需要提前数周预订。最终,我们自己联系了一家酒庄,并成功安排了第二天的品酒活动,这使得城堡的回应格外令人失望。
然而,最令人失望的是服务水平。除了前面提到的那位早餐服务员之外,我们感觉其他工作人员普遍冷漠无情。一位工作人员在我们离开时态度尤其恶劣,给我们留下了非常糟糕的印象。
里沃城堡(Château du Rivau)无疑是一座美丽的庄园,但考虑到我们支付的价格,我们期望能享受到更高水平的服务、舒适度和宾客体验。或许其他人会有不同的体验,但我们一家人离开时感到失望而非愉悦。
