I had initially arrived at the theater a few days ago to see a particular film, only to arrive and find out they were having "technical difficulties" and the film would not be ran. Management gave me a refund and also a free pass. A bit disappointing, but things happen. Today I was able to redeem my free pass. No issues, no problems. I'm not sure if it was just the theatre I was in, but it appeared to me that the reclining seats are definitely in need of an upgrade! Upholstery looked quite worn/threadbare in areas. Picture quality and sound were great. Restroom facilities were clean, and most importantly, the popcorn was fresh! read more

We have been going to the Maya for years. We always eat there instead of going out to eat first. Last time we went, they said they no longer sell food items. They only sell popcorn and nachos. We just bought drinks and even at that, there wasn't any ice. They had to get ice from the back. Sadly, we won't be going to the Maya anymore. read more

It's pretty sad when you come to the Maya for an enjoyable afternoon spend your hard earned money and you go use the restroom and no one has serviced it or checked it. The paper towels have been out for a while because there's no paper towels in the trash to wash your hands and some stalls are out of toilet paper. That's unacceptable. read more

Best theater in town ! There's not much to say but it's the best. Seats are big and comfortable... food is good and well priced. I will always return ! Great for dates and family movie days read more

I absolutely love Maya Theatre! It's my favorite cinema in town. Their chairs are super comfy and their food selection is really good too. I love their asada fries and their churro donuts with ice cream. My husband's go to is the esquite. Most times, there isn't much of a crowd, but we do tend to go after movie hypes have died down. I do miss the QR code to be able to order from our seats, they should bring that back. read more

Nice theater! Lots of movies showing. Wednesday is senior day which is good, most are Tuesday so it's nice to have another option. Staff is friendly. read more

Hard not to recommend The Maya. It is one of the only AMC theaters in town. It also updated and upgraded their seating, and the overall theatre itself, as Edward's has also done. They have larger screen options with certain movies. It's located more towards central Bakersfield. They're really stepping it up with their food options, including multiple menu items, only served at the front though, including tacos, nachos, burgers and dogs. Same popcorn options, but with multiple flavor options. Multiple soda fountains, located on the sides of the registers, which allow you to get free refills. This theatre is definitely giving Studio Movie Grill a run for its money. The seating in of itself is a huge plus, making the theatre very comfortable and relaxing, with the roomier isles and reclining seats. Very busy location for a Saturday afternoon, with multiple food options near the theatre but worth the drive, especially for AMC only releases. read more

Maya Bakersfield 16 - Another upgraded theatre in town. - Cinema Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Waited in line for 45 minutes, missed first 20 minutes of the movie. Full menu was not available, popcorn, sodas, hot dogs and cheese pizza only. No pretzels, nachos, candy, slushy, ice in only 3 of the 6 soda machines. The seats need to be recovered all the pleather was pealing off. read more

I loved going to this theater! The huge reclining seats are old school in the best way. Excellent air-conditioning, great sound and picture.

I don't like writing negative reviews but if this post helps someone not waste their hard earned money & time like I did today then it's worth it. Where should I start? None of the soda machines had ice & only half of them worked. They only offered half of their original menu so basically no food only snacks. Of the 6 Icee flavors only 1 worked. They ran out of containers. Any one that ordered popcorn had to wait at least 5 minutes for it to be made. The seats need to be reupholstered and the screens were dark. With so many other options in Bakersfield I will never visit the Maya again. I would highly recommend Studio Movie Grill or The Reading with all their new upgrades. I would like to think this was just a bad day but judging from recent reviews today was business as usual. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else but here. read more

I live nearby so this is my go-to theater by choice! The staff is always friendly and theaters are clean. The prices are typical and the rewards are great. You can score free popcorn, and other items. You also get a free movie ticket for your birthday. I love the comfy, reclining seats! My only concern is some of the seats are needing some TLC. Nothing too bad, but please don't let it get like other theaters in Bakersfield! read more

I used to love the Maya. We literally go the movies 4-5 times a month. It's getting way dirtier, they never have any good promotional items like they used to and every other theatre has. The cost is good compared but now it's not worth it. The popcorn has got my family sick the last two times we ate it. And then the last time we went I saw two mice run across the kitchen floor (the sore behind the registers to the kitchen was open). The employee saw it too and immediately shut the door but she was aware we saw it. Then there was more mice in the actual theatre. If you look on Reddit or other local pages you'll see tons of pictures. They have been aware of the mice for over a year and they are not doing anything about it. After this last time we sadly won't be back unless things heavily change. I only have a two because the price is low and I love the employee who is always super kind and inviting when we go, they are the employee who is in a wheelchair. He's super nice. read more

Really love this theater. Where else can you go see a good movie for $10 or less? Seats are reclining and very comfortable. Never overcrowded. Wide variety of choices of unhealthy food. Believe you can even order your popcorn and hot dog and drinks over your phone and have it waiting for you. But the best thing is the price and good environment. read more

Ordinary movie theater. Staff is cool. The please does need more cleaning though. Parking is very bad I've gone a couple of times and usually enjoy my experience. This last time I went they were holding an event at the arena nearby and everyone was parking in the movie theater parking lot. No control of who actually is going to watch a movie and who is going to the event. Was outside for over half an hour trying to find a place to park and nothing. I go inside to request a refund on the tickets that I had bought online since the movie had already started. Manager said no refund was possible because we had to do it prior to the start of the film. Very unpleasant experience. I would say just check if there will be a major event before you attend. read more

Spacious theater good customer service! We always have a great time anytime we go. Chairs are comfortable as well

Rude supervisor. I get being annoyed with your job bro don't get me wrong, I've worked customer service for years I get it. But don't assume. Screen in the theater was broken, wasn't a huge deal since I could still watch the movie fine with my friends but it was a noticeable bunch of blue dots. Employee asked at the end of the movie if the screen was okay, to which many said no. He said to make sure to let customer service know. Which we did. And when we mentioned it he responded with "well we don't do refunds you sat through the whole movie" and my friend said "oh that's fine we were just told to let you know?" With that said, fix your fucking attitude and keep your fucking money. read more

On Sunday, February 15, 2026, I took my family to see a movie (last minute). Vita suggested Goat. No problem, once we paid for the tickets, all went bad. ALEX was our cashier. He wasn't welcoming, didn't say hello, just took the order.At the end, no thank you no nothing. I tried to make small talk....nothing! I asked if he talked. He responded, "No." I'm not sure what was bugging him but customer service is customer service. I understand he is or was in the Army....which surprised me. Military people are always pleasant. Unfortunately not Alex. As a paying customer, a simple hello would go a long way. Maybe next time Ill go to another theater that's much closer to me. read more

My husband and I love this movie theatre! We've always enjoyed the food there too from the kitchen to have along our movie experience. Talk about quality for finally decent prices. Way better than any AMC theatre food options I've tried around California. We really enjoy Maya's nachos and burrito bowls. Craving it already! They give great protein portions which is really a gold staple in the satisfaction. Shout out to Aaron L. for stepping into the kitchen and putting together for us a carnitas burrito bowl like no other, you know how to serve and with presentation Check out their DBOX & MPX movie theaters to have a more enhanced experience there! We loved everything about it! Thank you everyone who's been working there this past year for your friendly and kind interactions when we visit. See you again some other time! read more

Check in was smooth, lots of lines though. It was a Friday night so that's to be expected. My friends and I watched Iron Lung. Cool movie, but it's mostly dark/dark red throughout it. These little blue dots appeared and would not go away which took away substantially from the movie. We were told by an employee to talk to guest services. We went and waited for 7 minutes. When they finally appeared, we informed them of the situation and our frustration as it took away from the movie. The worker was very condescending and rude. They asked if we told someone during the movie and we stated no as we were watching the movie. They stated that we should've come out during the movie to complain and since we "got what we paid for and watched the movie" they wouldn't give us a refund. I said that was fine, I wasn't looking for one, as a worker had told us to inform guest services so they could FIX and MAINTENANCE the projector. The guest services person just said alright and walked away. No thank you, no have a good day. Come to find out we were actually speaking to the supervisor... I feel bad for those who have to work this him. I'm sure he can't take any feedback. read more

The good: the theaters themselves are great to watch movies in. The BAD: the counter staff at the snack bar are absolutely horrible. The majority of them move at a the pace of a sloth and none of them are happy. Then again, most young adults working at a part-time, minimal wage job aren't. The theater needs to make it worth their wild to want to enjoy what they're worth and like coming to work so it reflects on the movie goers. Just saying. read more

There was only one cashier outside the movie theater and none inside. Their was only one person ahead of us and she was having all kinds of problem with her all ready purchased movie tickets..she wanted to exchange for a different time. She was on her phone looking for who knows what while my sister and I had to wait and. Wait and wait. Then her son had to run to her truck to find something while we were still waiting...my sister asked the cashier if there was someone else available so we could by two tickets....cashier said "no." So, we continued to wait and wait. Cashier could have asked the lady could she stand aside until her son came back from walking to the vehicle for whatever else she needed so that she could finish up her ticket purchase. Tired of waiting....we left read more

I came for an evening showing of Werewolves. The staff inside were fast and efficient collecting tickets and directing you where to go . The concession lines were long , but moved quickly . The menu is pretty impressive with snacks and entrees . Many of the entrees were out of stock . The prices were on par with other theaters. I opted out of snacks this visit . Inside the actual movie theater the area was clean , the sound was amazing and the screen large and clear. The seats were comfortable and in good condition. I was pleasantly surprised by the Maya. read more

Payed for the D-box experience for the Weapons movie. Seats didn't work the entire movie. I went to guest services to ask about it and MICHAEL told me he couldn't do anything since I didn't complain initially... how am I supposed to know they weren't going to work the entire movie? It was my first time in D-box. I was hoping to at least get refunded the extra I paid for Dbox. I will be charging back my card since Michael was useless. read more

Went and saw a very violent movie with the wife. Violent Night! Everything was beyond expectations. Concessions were of course over priced but hit the spot. The soda machines are awesome. The staff is super friendly. Bathroom's were impeccable. Always worries me when a place has dirty bathrooms. But these bathrooms were fantastic. Screens were amazing so I can guess any movie you see here would be great! read more

I keep calling to ask one simple question about the care room and they keep saying please hold and don't get back to you. It's the same girl. I just called 4x in a row... this is how to loose someone's service! My nephew is autistic so calling to see if that room is available is important. But instead I have to drive down there waste gas just to see if no one has booked it! Online doesn't give you the option to see it! I'd their customer service was better for special needs family they'd probably get more ROI! read more

Gorgeous new theater. Lots of parking. Don't trust the concessions if you don't want to wait forever. Ordered nacho fries. Was told 5 mins. 10+ later I asked. She told me he was making them. He was standing in concession stand talking. No concegn whatsoever. I would have been late if I hadn't cancelled. Ridiculous. Experience is great if you don't have to wait on concessions. read more
