booked a bouncy castle for my child’s 4th birthday party on 30/8. The company never turned up and gave no communication at all. I rang several times and left messages on their business Facebook page but received no response.

Because of this, a group of children were left disappointed, especially my 4-year-old who had been so excited for their party. It completely spoiled what should have been a special day.

I will be requesting my deposit back as the service was not fulfilled. A business in this industry should be reliable and communicate with customers if there are any issues. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen here. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company and would advise others to be very cautious before booking.”

Excellent service, good price

Initial issues getting in contact as they'd lost their phone or something but after that were great - turned up when they said they would, set up quick, castle was in good condition, came to take it down when we asked, and all for a good price, recommend.

Flawless process! perfect experience

I hired One stop castles based off reviews from the local area. Booking was easy, communication was prompt when I had questions. They arrived on the day on the exact time I had booked, had great communication. They returned to take the bouncy castle down and sought me out first to make me aware they were there, which I thought was good, instead of just deflating it. I would absoloutely reccomend them and I will use them again for future events!

Very happy customer :)

We used One Stop Castles for my daughter's first birthday. The guys that came to set it up were amazing, so nice they moved the castle around the hall to find the best spot for it.

Would definitely use them again.

I made a query on website no confirmation was given for booking no phone call etc. I proceeded to then book a different company. However on the day of my sons party whilst I was out One Stop Castle came and set up which my sister assumed was the company I had actually booked. The second company also turned up which my sister sent away thinking it was their mistake. Once I arrived the soft play did not look great it was dirty and my sisters and I had to scrub it down before the children including my 1 year old could play. For the price paid what was delivered was not great.

Good service, should reward loyalty

Good service, very quick response times. Reason for 4 and not 5 is that as a school, we have used them quite a few times, and no loyalty card or discount is ever offered. Would be good to at least have the £5 delivery waived after the 3rd or 4th booking.

Unfortunately, we cannot lower the delivery costs, These costs are used to pay our staff for the extra time on the road and extra fuel we may use to get to you. We charge lower delivery fees the closer to our base the customer is. You're only paying £1.25 for each staff to get to you each way, not including any extra fuel costs, We cover all the extra costs.

As for Loyalty schemes, we have been speaking about this and been working on it. Something will be implemented in the future. This will only be to those who accept our marketing emails on booking however, as we won't be able to contact anyone that doesn't click the button.
