Football Birthday Party
Initially, communication was a little difficult, largely because other major events were taking precedence, there was no direct phoneline and partly because I left the booking until quite late. However, despite this, the entire party was flawless.
The hosts, Jordan and Edward, were fantastic and kept the children engaged throughout. The party package was very reasonably priced in my opinion, and the venue was clean and well maintained.
Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for the staff, and even when we slightly exceeded our allocated time, they were understanding and accommodating. Overall, It was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it.

Hi,
Thank you for your detailed and balanced feedback.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the initial communication challenges, particularly during what was a very busy period. It is encouraging to hear that, despite this, the party itself ran smoothly and met your expectations.
It is wonderful to hear your kind comments about Jordan and Edward. We will ensure your feedback is shared with them, as they will be very pleased to know they helped create such a positive experience. We are also glad you found the party package to be good value and the venue clean and well-maintained.
Your recognition of the team’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing to celebrate with us.
Warm regards,
Hazal

I used my better account to book a court for badminton in Bedford International Athletic Stadium. I also informed one of the staff upon arrival for checking us In for the slot and later, my account shows penalties for no show fee and I was not able to see any availability for courts for the next few days and me and my friends missed our chance have a badminton sessions. I also tried to contact the service department at least 4 times in 2 days and still couldn’t sort out my problem. The call centre says, the center is not picking up the call to verify and no action was taken. I have been using the account for the past 3-4 years and I’m very disappointed with the service. Since the better take over, it’s a disaster.
