    I recently bought my complete setup through H20 Habitat, the staff are all very helpful. The store is always kept clean, the fish and plants are kept in the best condition. Highly recommended!!

    All the fish looked alert and healthy, haven't bought fish for a while to compare prices but seemed reasonable. Dry goods expensive

    Lovely aquatic centre situated within the knights garden centre. Vast selection of clean, well stocked tanks, tropical fish on one side, marine on the other, all looking very healthy. At the far end of the centre, you'll find reptiles and other exotic creatures. My kids love looking at these. It's like being at a little reptile zoo and takes a while to drag them away. The centre isle consists of more tanks filled with live coral and plants. The section nearest the entrance to the shop and till's are where all the accessories are kept. There is a small selection for pond keeping, pumps, and so on, but I do not recall seeing any pond fish. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.

    Really nice place, loads of lovely fish. Everytime I've gone I found the staff really helpful and the fish were always in good health.

    Amazing shop on the whole with a great range of products and a wide range of beautiful freshwater and marine fish. The only reason it loses the stars for me is the terribly sad goldfish in a tiny 30L tank at the back. You would think a place so specialist with knowledgeable staff would know that putting a goldfish in such a small environment is a death sentence and a horrible life. I just think in this day and age given what is known about stunting of fish it’s a shame that they promote it. Also, worth noting, I visited the store a while ago and there was 2 goldfish in there, so I assume one died from poor water quality etc and they think it is still acceptable. I understand that a goldfish in a tiny tank is a good sale for them but ultimately it isn’t humane and it is awful to see how brilliantly their marine fish are kept in comparison to this poor goldfish

    Tom was so incredibly helpful. Tested my tank water for me because I have a very small tank, with one Minnow, and didn’t want to add more fish if there were too many nitrites etc. He helped me get the perfect Minnows to add to the one that I already have and I then added something new, Red Shrimp, to help clean the tank and they also add colour! I get real joy looking at my tiny tank. Thank you. I shall be going back and highly recommend.

    At the start of this year I brought my first saltwater marine tank from H2O. Would like to say Thanks for all the time and advice given from Rob and staff. I have always been happy all my products and livestock brought from H2O. Me and my 2 children always enjoy a trip to our local fish store and H2O is our favourite so far!

    Very friendly staff who also are very knowledgeable as they keep fish themselves. Very Good selection of fish, marine and tropical. They also do koi and pond's. Most aquarium supplies stocked.

    The staff are always so helpful, definitely the best out of many aquarium shops we've visited. They all know their stuff and have helped us with plenty of advice on many occasions! The shop is clean and tidy with a great selection of fish.

    Good shop with pond and aquarium items and a nice stock of fish

  • 5/5 Brian W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very helpful, experienced and friendly guys. Good selection of fresh and salt water fish. Good fresh water plants and fab selection of corals. All reasonably priced. They sell RO and salt water. There is also a pond section.

    much better stocked than Maidenhead aquatics (sorry but it's true). Loads of plants, great selection of decor (wood, stones etc) and really helpful signage on fish. All round well deserving of 5*, and favourite fish shop to go to.

    My experience is very bad and I lost my money. I bought an external fish tank filter on 6th March 2020 for £110.00 . I tried to fix this to my aquarium but it does not work on my aquarium. The product was not sealed and looked like as if it was used. I took the product back and asked for a refund but the staff at H2O Aquatics at Knights Rosedene Garden Centre Woldingham refused to give me a refund and asked me to wait . They made me wait for two hours and to the end of it they said they are unable to refund the product as it is used when clearly the product does not work for my aquarium. I felt insulted and ripped off. I don't understand why the 28 days return policy was not honoured . I will not recommend this place at all. Please see the pictures attached. I did not buy the filter for no reason. I have a big aquarium. I have been trying for the past three days to make this filter work some how. However this is not working (not pumping water )in my aquarium and sometimes makes noise of which i have a video clip . I have no use of this filter as this is still not working. I live 25 miles from your shop. Today I was really disappointed that despite of my trying to convince you of how this was not working and as i have no other option but to ask for a refund you and your staff were so inconsiderate and made a mockery of my demand. I am the customer . You should have taken some value of that. If I as a customer have no use of the item purchased I only have the option to return this. This is not the first time any customer would return an item if they do not like it or if they have misjudged the performance or have bought something by mistake. You cannot deny a customer from returning a product and asking for a refund when the product is only two days old from the date of purchase. You made me wait for 2 hours . If you are so adamant that this filter is working , I will give you my address please come and fix this filter and make it work. What is complaints procedure? Please let me know. Further to your response I called you today 9th March and I felt it was a waste of my time. You are only thinking of the business and only want to sell your product with the least liability. As for me, I am a pet lover. There was no point in talking with you and you kept on arguing with me saying that I did not buy the product to use it . I feel that you do not want to sort this out and only does the talk and does not walk the walk. You have pictured in your response wanting to resolve the situation but I hardly found any of your conversation leading to a resolution. I have been ripped off and will see what else I can do to protect my rights as a consumer .

    Good quality fish and plants.

  • 5/5 Adam W. 3 years ago on Google
    Went today and absolutely amazing far better than maidenhead aquatics and any other store I have been to I am going back tommoro for some plants as I was told the plants are re stocked tommorow. But reading the bad review about the filter is embarrassing if the person read the instructions it says on any external filter to make sure there is no loose pipe or bends to avoid air bubbles and make sure it works properly and hers is absolutely stupid the bends is a clear point she hasn't read the instructions I wouldn't even leave a review like that when it's been put together to the tank so badly and clearly without reading instructions which is obvious. But safe to say this store is the best I have found and the bad reviews sound like they are just from people who love big companies and don't want to support the small business that has far better quality plants and fish.

    Cant really fault this place spotless and the fish always look good

  • 5/5 Red H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went in today thinking my new tank was ready for fish after following step by step instructions on start-up tank, with suitable ph levels. Assistant explained well the full suite of tests to regularly complete before introducing fish. Returned home with no fish, but with further testing kits which seem far more precise and thorough... proved tank needs more time and some further nitrite treatment. Very impressed with thoroughness and care for fish over a sale. Will regularly return.
