You may have been reading other reviews saying that they booked up and found out they got ripped off because they used the booking agent. Guess what the same guy who owns the booking agency also owns the paintball sites. Now that dishonesty is out the way. If you type into google "bedlam paintball credit card fraud" you will find the ultimate reason to avoid dealings with this company.

This is truly the worst company imaginable; they should be called out on a TV programme like Rogue Traders. We were charged £39 each by Bedlam to visit our local site with 300 paintballs (per person) plus a £15 booking fee. Our local site (Big Dunk’s in Newquay) charges £26 with 300 paintballs (per person) Bedlam Paintball organisational skills are…well they’re absolute bedlam.. We arrived at our local site for our birthday event to find out we had been given the wrong start time and the venue had no record of our booking. Luckily Big Dunk’s Paintball (Newquay) did everything he could to let our group join in with the session, even though it was nearly over. A huge thank you to Big Dunk’s Paintball for rescuing our birthday party. Bedlam Paintball customer care is.. well it’s complete bedlam. It took me a month of calling and emailing to get somebody to call me back. Finally we got an offer of compensation from their Edinburgh office as a goodwill gesture ! (£10 per person refunded). I asked for the booking fee to be refunded too.. he didn’t like my request, so he just completely ignored me…forever…no £10 refund.... nothing ! Check out Bedlam Paintball’s awful reviews on Tripadvisor/ Google and Facebook I urge you, never have anything to do with this bunch of crooks.

Just found out this is a booking service.... Appalled!!! They "check" your availability, go through all the payment process, just to tell you you don't have a confirmation, but ONLY after you have paid! Later edit: I have changed my review, because indeed my money was refunded, and the person who dealt with it was pretty decent. I was still without a birthday present for my little brother and had to come out with something last minute, but at least my expenses were back to me. For the management: As suggested over the phone, please let people know from the start you are a Booking (third party service) and not the actual direct contact. Let people know before they pay, that they don't have a booking and they need to book with customer service Monday to Friday-and you won't get these reviews and struggle.

Really terrible company, definitely avoid at all costs. They are just a booking company and refused to take any responsibility for the activity itself. Our group were unable to do the paintballing we had booked as the venue ran out of gas for the guns on the day. It then took me over a month and 6 phone calls to Bedlam before they finally issued me a refund. Honestly an absolute joke of a company and the worst customer service I've ever experienced

Truly awful company. Do not use them under any circumstances. If you can go directly to the Paintball site itself. They are just a booking company, who charge twice the price! Spend over 20 minutes on hold to speak with someone. They even have the cheek to charge a booking fee.

Terrible company. 1. I was on the phone to them for about 40 minutes getting further up the queue not realising that it was a premium number. This call cost me £40 2.They booked the wrong place. Thank you very much to the company who agreed to let us play with them - and tries to sort it out with Bedlam. 3. They actually cost far more than just booking direct. If you look up a paintball centre and get through to Bedlam. Put the phone down and look up a different number doe the centre. I could take the mistake but I am furious about the phone bill.

Terrible company! I had absolutely no idea how much this company rips you off! I paid £37 for a group booking of 8 children. I was then charged £25 for each child after. £16 booking fee and then when I had to rearrange due to covid, was then charged an additional £25! I called Splatkidz where the party is going ahead and the lovely lady on the phone told me that if I had gone to her direct I would have only been charged £200 for 12 children, no booking fee and certainly no fee to rearrange due to covid. My advice is definitely do not book through Bedlam Paintballing and go direct to the company where the party will be held such as Splatkidz unless you want to spend hundreds of extra pounds for no reason!

Racists. Never in my life have I witnessed such hate. We overheard the marshal racially abusing a member of our party to another marshal which they then laughed about between games

Booked for a stag do, on a specific date. Rang to confirm the date a few days prior - to be told they are fully booked on that date and had to relocate to a different paintball firm. First Invoice was corrected as they knew they made the mistake, to then the correct date. Going forward I had to relocate my party to skirmish redditch, where the Marshalls and setup was spot on 5*. But as for bedlam paintballing agency customer service and satisfaction wasn’t met, or a compromise for my party for relocating on any offer of reduction in paintballs or freebies as we had to travel further out of our home town. When we booked our home town well in advance to attend with ease. Won’t be using bedlam again, shall go direct to skirmish 👍🏼

Had the wrong date booked for Stag Doo and forced us to change to alternative further afield venue - poor customer IMO. Marshalls (at Alcester) were; professional and created an enjoyable experience 👍. Booking Agency = 1* Marshalls = 5*
