3 /5 Makariou Chrysanthos George (Chris): We had an overall enjoyable experience at Hollywood Bowl, but there were some areas that could use improvement.
When we arrived, we were directed to our lane by the reception team, only to find that the table was covered in rubbish left by the previous guests. It was quite unappealing, especially considering that the lane next to us was unoccupied—there was no reason for the table to be in that state. It’s similar to being seated at a restaurant and finding the previous diners’ dishes still on the table; which would never happen.
We requested a staff member to clean it, and while they did remove the rubbish, the table was never actually wiped down, which was disappointing. Ive attached a photo to highlight the issue.
That being said, our bowling game itself went smoothly, and we had no technical issues. The staff also handled an incident professionally—at one point, a group in the next lane was behaving recklessly, throwing multiple balls at once. This even led to a ball rolling into our lane, which we never thought was possible! We reported it to a staff member, and they promptly removed the group from the premises, which we really appreciated.
A big thank you to the Hollywood Bowl team for their efforts. While we did have fun, we strongly encourage better attention to cleanliness, as it makes a huge difference in the overall experience.
