Tennis & Padel Club Bossonnens

Tip top 👌

We went there to play badminton. As soon as we arrived, the court was filthy; everything was open, but there was no one there. On the court, there was a bench in the middle, a bag of rotten bananas, and, off to the side, unfinished construction work with a shopping cart—isn't that supposed to be in a store?! After the game, I wanted to take a shower, but there was no hot water. The place was extremely dirty; I wonder if it's even cleaned. At 30 CHF an hour for badminton, it's highway robbery.

Dirty toilets, dirty changing rooms, the whole place is filthy. The padel and tennis courts are okay in that respect. The manager is incredibly rude and takes every penny for granted. When you book two courts for two hours and one of the players doesn't have a racket, he charges you for it, even though you come every week. Most recently, his daughters (who are very nice) wrongly charged us 8 francs for a session. As we were leaving, the manager ran up to us to say he'd charge us the missing 8 francs for next week's session.

I've rarely encountered such an unfriendly and unprofessional manager. Be careful when calculating the cost of your session. Every penny counts for this man. The squash courts are in a deplorable state, and the changing rooms and showers haven't been cleaned in ages. Unfortunately, he's the only one in the area offering tennis, badminton, squash, and padel courts—a monopoly he blatantly abuses.

This sports center has great potential. Unfortunately, the upkeep of the facilities and equipment leaves something to be desired. The padel courts, however, are in good condition, and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering this sport. The center's manager is known for his temper. During my visit, I witnessed an altercation with other customers, which is undesirable in a sports center where enjoyment and camaraderie should be the priority. Breathing and heart coherence exercises might help him lower his blood pressure and calm his nerves. I wish this center, which is in need of a facelift, every success. The region needs this type of infrastructure to stay active and healthy.
