Fed Up with No-Shows!

1 December 2025


After years of nonchalance from certain types of customers who make a reservation and don’t honor it, and don’t even bother to call us back, the owner has written her no-show policy.

Darling Bowling – No-Show Policy

  1. Purpose of the Policy

To ensure optimal management of the bowling lanes, as well as the restaurant and bar services, Darling Bowling Alley implements a no-show policy. This policy aims to guarantee the availability of our facilities and to offer the best possible experience to our customers.

  1. Definition of a No-Show

A no-show occurs when:

the customer does not arrive at the reserved date and time;
the customer arrives more than 15 minutes late without informing the establishment;
the cancellation is made less than 48 hours before the scheduled time.

3. Booking Conditions

A deposit may be required to confirm the reservation of one or more lanes.
Customers must arrive at least 15 minutes before their scheduled bowling time.
Groups and special events may be subject to different conditions.

50% of the total reservation amount, as agreed upon at the time of confirmation.
