Refused a massage

In Corfu currently and booked a full body massage at the hotel, as a treat.

First shock was the rugby player sized beardy bloke waiting for me, but whatever. I can deal with that but it would’ve been nice to have a warning about opposite sex treatments.

Then I had to fill in the medical form. And he refused as I had cancer 13 years ago. Apparently it’s a Greek thing, that he’s not allowed to Which I checked afterwards and it was a total fib.

I’ve had loads of massages since cancer and no one has ever said a thing, and I’ve had physiotherapy massages on my knees and hips as well.

I think he just decided for whatever reason (scars maybe?) he didn’t want to do it.

AIBU when writing my trip advisor report, to drop them a star for this?

I'm not sure about this. I had a massage refused when I was having cancer treatment. Perhaps he was just mistaken?
