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.

Great group activity!

Nov 2023 • Business

We visited as part of a team building activity and this was our first escape room experience for everyone in our team. We chose the Diamond Mine and really enjoyed the mini games before entering the mine! We found the mini games a nice introduction to the experience and good individual challenges, giving everyone an opportunity to get stuck in and shout words of encouragement (or frustration!) at the person taking on the challenge! We got 10 clue orbs between us which helped us out a lot in the main room and we enjoyed working together to solve the clues and find the mega diamond - with seconds to spare!! Overall, we all thought it was a great group activity, something different definitely worth trying and a great location for us, on our doorstep! Thank you to our host who was really helpful and friendly throughout! We would love to come back and try out a different room.

Amazing experience. Very well thought puzzles, decoration and ambience. We managed to solve them in the last minute, but you could have a much help as you need. Definitely going again to try the other rooms.

Birthday Treat

Oct 2023 • Friends

I organised an escape room experience for my daughter's birthday, with a few of her friends. They all had a fantastic time trying to decipher the clues in time, and the host was very attentive and helpful when needed, making the experience really special for them. Would highly recommend for a birthday or group experience that is fun and engaging for all. Thank you!

Fatastic experience

Oct 2023 • Couples

We play a lot of escape rooms, and without a doubt the rooms at Lakes Escapes are up there with some of the best in the country. The energy and passion from the owners was evident in the design of each room, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. If you're considering going at all, just book it, you won't be dissapointed.

Fantastic experience and a great welcome

Aug 2023 • Friends

This was our first escape room and we loved it, one of our party is blind and they welcomed his guide dog and made him fully included.

Great service, loved it.

We will be back.

Thank you for this review. We’re pleased you all enjoyed your game with us. I must say it was the hardest game ever for your game host as we love to make a fuss of our doggie players and leave them treats but know they were working 🤣
