What Reviews Say

330 reviews analyzed

Barkingham Palace is a long-standing facility with a very loyal customer base, some spanning over 20 years. It is highly praised for its grooming services (specifically Pam) and the peace of mind provided by suite webcams. However, there is a significant divide in experience; while most find the staff 'family-like,' a subset of reviewers report serious lapses in medical care, hygiene, and professional communication regarding training classes.
