Hollywood Bowl Maidstone

Clean & comfortable lanes. Lovely staff members. Toilets are a bit gross but that’s the guest fault not the business. Food and drinks are over priced but if you can wait until after there’s now a lovely little food hall in the lockmeadow main walkway. Parking is vast and not too expensive.

We had a small kids party here, just the bowling and food downstairs. It was clean, not too busy for a Saturday, booking in was easy. We ordered drinks and snacks from the bar, the lane was clean and games were easy to set up. All the kids really enjoyed it, it was a nice atmosphere. I agree the food is slightly overpriced, but you have food available in the food court downstairs if you wish, and parking wasn't an issue either.

Apart from a nearly hour wait to get our lane, the experience was great! The staff were lovely and helpful all night and even offered a free drink for our wait! Service was quick and overall had a great time!

Not been bowling yet but a good place for a drink before or after a film. Very security conscious there and friendly staff. Only downside is the state of some of the seats, dirty, stained, sticky.

The bowling is alright.
Not much you can get wrong with bowling.

But I was 15 minutes late (on the dot) and then refused to let me and my date on the lane I had reserved. They said "someone else is using the lane now".... how? I am barely late. Absolute joke.

We decided to play pool as they had 2 pool tables. They pool tables had more lump on it than my mums home made porridge.
I also had to give them a fiver to borrow a que. AND THEN! they said they haven't got any que tips on them and I haven't got the time to put them on for you. I mean.... customer service of what.
Terrible.

Won't be going here again.
I'd recommend people go to the bowling place under the M2 in Strood/Rochester. Same company, but clearly this location is a bad one.

Booked two games for three people on a Saturday night. There was a small wait when we got there for the lane to become free, but we were given an alarm so we could wait in the bar until that time.

Bar itself was good with a decent amount of seats and quite a few lagers available. Staff were friendly throughout.

The lanes were clean and apart from the ball getting stuck a couple of times it was a flawless experience. Got a few strikes in so that made me happy.

We attended this time just for the arcades which we normally attend after bowling but we was in the area so thought we would spend some coins on the 2pmachines.
We would normally go bowling early on a Sunday when it is quiet. We went to arcades during the day on a Saturday and was packed and super loud and chaotic. But we still enjoyed it

Pretty good bowling. Seating at lanes a bit cramped, not really enough space to eat if you wanted to. Friendly staff and not bad prices.
