Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went white water rafting twice during our stay both times we we lucky to have Liam as our instructor & Finn as our rescuer (which he was required to pull me out the water 4 times 🤣) they were both such good fun & gave us a fab experience. I would definitely recommend it, it certainly got the blood pumping, thanks guys 👍👍

White water rafting…. We had Liam as our raft guide! Incredible so much fun and he made the experience a scream. Be prepared to get wet! But wow what a great day

Went canoeing here. Booked online for 3 single kayaks. Paid for 3 singles. Arrived at the time and only 2 single Kayaks left (despite booking system saying available when booked).
The lady apologised and put 2 of us in a double and said she will call us over when singles available in 10 mins and give us extra 10 mins. Never got called over. Session ended and she apologised and said to go to reception and explain for the refund.
Went to reception, the person on couldn’t deal with it. Said his supervisor is wondering around, please wait 5 mins. 10 mins later she hadn’t come back, so he took phone number and said will call as soo as she comes back. No phone call happened.
So not happy with the customer service experience, the wasted time and also no sign of the refund. So what should have been a good experience let down by that.

We visited the National water sports centre today to try and de-stress from the normal working week! This place is absolutely amazing a picturesque place with wildlife green spaces and backed onto the river Trent with boats passing by!! What a way to relax and unwind!!! Yeah right!!! The car parking system which incidentally is run by a private company, there is a coin machine near the bike hire hut that says not in use, this system uses ANPR so once you come down the drive you are logged( all fair and square, no problem with that)) BUT HOLD ON the coin machine is not in use, so you look at board for details and you can either down load the app for payment or use the Nottingham telephone phone to pay for your stay!! What followed was an hour and half trying to simply log the registration of our vehicle for a £3 parking fee, god help anyone who is let’s say not as conversant with technology, after at least 15 attempts thank goodness the call was finally directed to an operator who informed me that there was a “GLICH” in the system “”really “” so here’s the deal, you’re registration is now logged you cannot pay and a £100 fine will be on its way!THIS WAS SO STRESSFUL FOR GOD SAKE PLEASE SIMPLIFY YOUR PAYMENT

the actual activity of whitewater rafting was superb with great guidance given by our team leader Ross- he constantly made sure the 2 hours in the raft were a fantastic experience & is a credit to the organisation
However, the visitor experience was/is spoiled by poor signage.
A lack of actual signs on the complex as you drive through letting you know where the whitewater takes place with several people incorrectly parking in the first car park (which is actually for a childrens activity area).
This is compounded by the fact that once you do find the right place there is no sign for reception/shop/changing rooms/toilets- basic things which could be easily & quickly put right.
Also bear in mind that you do need to pay £5 to park once you do find the correct car park .... there is a single sign in the perimeter telling you this

We went white water rafting and despite being a little apprehensive, it was absolutely fantastic! The experience and amount of time we got on the water was fantastic. We went for a stag do and it just really made the weekend! Our instructor Sam was fantastic too, top lad.

A friend and I met here to partake in a couple of watersports. The venue itself was nice enough and the instructors were lovely. However, we only got 10 minutes actually on the water. After travelling over 2 hours to get there we were expecting much more for our money. Overall it was quite disappointing.
