Very bad customer service

Booked a lake that wasnt ready at all.
Chainsaws cutting down tress, fence posts being hammer into the ground right next to the swims, severals swims complete shut, people walking around at 2:00am in the morning scaring the life out of you, excavators driving around.

A venue shouldn't allow anglers onsite when theres heavy construction taking place.

Swimbooker take no resposibility in refunds and the Lake owner ignores all attempts at contact.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Elliot! We’re really sorry to hear about your experience at this venue. Our support team has already been in contact and did their best to help resolve things directly with the fishery.

As set out in our booking terms, each venue is responsible for on-site conditions and refund decisions, but we always do our best to support both parties and encourage a fair outcome. We’ve also shared your feedback with the fishery again to help prevent a repeat of this situation.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience; it helps us and our venues improve 😁

Warm regards,
Team SB 🎣
