Fun bowling but could have better service at the desk …
Bowling activity was fun and the food was ok, but the lady at desk was disrespectful when we ordered our drinks. Thanks

Good fun
The place was very clean. All staff were friendly and looked like they were enjoying their jobs. We came on a Sunday morning. There were lots of birthday parties on and it was quite noisy but I appreciated being placed to the side of them as there was only two of us.
The only negative was that our experience was over quickly as we'd booked two games each. The website explained how long it would take bit I would have preferred booking for an hour rather than per game. I saw other customers were booked for an hour but maybe they were with a party. I would have liked that option.

Hey Sylvia, thank you for the amazing 5* rating and review of Tenpin Edinburgh. We are pleased to hear that you had a fun time during your recent visit. We are sorry to hear that you felt the game time was quite short and that you would have preferred longer. This is around 10 minutes per person, per game and the more players you have the longer the session will be for, to give everyone enough time to have their turns. Your comments will be passed on to the correct team for future improvement.
Take care.

Expect late food on a Thursday
We went on a Thursday night when there are lots of food deals on, as a result, our food was very late.
Our booking was for 19:20, we arrived early at 18:30 for some drinks and asked if we could get our food early, but we're told no. Our food eventually arrived at 21:20!! But nit all of it, we were missing part of our order, which I complained about, and we ended up getting the rest at 21:45... After we had finished bowling.

We came there for a Birthday party 🥳 🎉…
We came there for a Birthday party 🥳 🎉 🥳 🎉 and campany policies allowed us to bring our own cake and no body really disturb us 5 star for that.
Our experience was really good 😊👍 but your Bowling balls are needs to review they are all damaged I played with 10 kg large all of them did have hole in them or parts missing. One ball was funny 14 kg my friend through away and ball was was jumping like injured one leg 🦵 that one made us laugh 😂 and couldn't find decent ball for 3 lady friends they are too heavy or xx or xxx small couldn't fit the fingers in it
They struggle to trough the balls for that reason they didn't really enjoy the game. You don't have 7 or 8 kg balls I did look other lines is well. At the end we still enjoyed the day rest can be dealable I think. Attitude of staff was helpful and kind .

Good fun, but cleanliness needs improved
It was really busy, but the team were helpful and we got to go on our lane fairly quickly.
The one thing that let the alley down was how dirty it was - there was disgarded chips on the floor, and dirty empty glasses everywhere. We had to clean this up ourselves before the food arrived, and was still very unclean.
It would be good if the tables on each lane were cleared and wiped before a new group is assigned that lane .

Booked for a Thursday evening deal
Booked for a Thursday evening deal. Lane we were on kept breaking, numerous times we had to approach what little staff they had. We had to ask for our food despite being told it would come to our lane. Ordered drinks using QR code, half an hour later still no drinks, requested a refund as we were finished our games. Was told payment would be refunded yet I am still waiting! I understand they were busy but clearly more staff needed, customer service needs improved and I certainly won’t be returning. What was meant to be a nice evening with my son turned into a rubbish night with problems after problems.

Fun kids day out
The staff were all helpful and polite, doing their best in a busy situation. Bowling was great fun, plenty ball sizes available and the machines were easy to use. The arcades are fun with the ticket prizes. All the facilities were reasonably clean. Prices were okay, for it being in town.

Tried to seperate our group booking then when eventually we got onto lanes the bumpers wouldn't work so complained for no one to come and fix it. Complete waste of money and time to travel to Edinburgh rude staff and dirty venue.
