Balorig Kardinge Groningen…

On visiting balorig kardinge Groningen today with my children I immediately asked for my money back after 3 mins.

The place had more children and parents than the building limit and staff didn’t care. I highlight that the 3 of 5 fire door was blocked and the staff just said we didn’t open up so not our fault (in my opinion HEALTHY AND SAFETY is EVERYONES Responsible) if you work for balorig it’s your responsibility.
They More concern about letting more people in than the safety of children in event of a fire taking place.

As a trained health and safety and also fire Marshall in England and which is also EU standards.
I find the place inadequate on busy days.

They seem unaware that fire exits should remain clear and that bolts should be removed from the exit doors which people are inside for quick exit. A football net was blocking a fire door the last 3 times we visits and dispite complaining nothing has changed.

This place should have a random government check to make sure they comply and a risk assessment should be re validated and staff should be full trained on what to do in case of fire.

Every staff should be made aware it is their responsibility and not just managers and a refresh course in health and safety and fire training should be mandatory for all staff.

Awful experience at Ballorig Groningen

Awful experience at Ballorig Groningen. We were celebrating two birthday parties and we were there with 14 people. The waiter drop some fries and some snacks when bringing to the table and 5 min later we had the manager at the table inviting us to pay for the dropped food " because you let it fall yourself". We explain that there was a miscommunication within the team but they started acting completely rude and childish, even inviting us to leave the place ( I repeat, it was their own waiter who drop the food). Crazy scene in front of all customers and kiddos. Never going there again.
Ive been also trying to call their HQ ( 3 days) to make an official complaint and so far they havent return my calls.
Very very bad customer service.

Hattem Ballorig!!! Disgusting entrance and exit next to a stinky toilet

OMG I'm never ever going there again... the toilet stank the daylights out of me. Entire place was stinking I almost puked in the place. How can the personal not see or smell the place????? I saw one lady cleaning the pot inside with a cloth and then wiping the toilet seat withthe same freaking cloth 😨 Oh God!!! No cleanliness what so ever in this place. The coffee...cappuccino etc was watery.... my toddler kid was being bumped and jumped on by older kids. ...
