Travel Troubles – Genuine ‘Complaints’ From The Great Holidaying Public
Who said that the average British tourists is a “moaning minnie”? Below we’ve pulled together some genuine complaints received by various travel companies from their “lovable” clientèle…
‘I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends’ three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller.’ |
The brochure stated: ‘No hairdressers at the accommodation’. We’re trainee hairdressers – will we be OK staying here?’ |
‘I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.’ |
‘We booked an excursion to a water park but no one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.’ |
‘We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white.’ |
‘We bought ‘Ray-Ban’ sunglasses for five euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.’ |
‘There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners.’ |
‘It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel.’ |
‘We had to queue outside with no air conditioning. and There’s no air conditioning outside’ |
‘I was bitten by a mosquito – no one said they could bite’ |
‘My fiance and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked’ |
‘It’s lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during “siesta” time – this should be banned’ |
‘On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food at all’ |
‘The beach was too sandy.’ |
‘Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.’ |
‘No one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.’ |
‘It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It only took the Americans three hours to get home’ |
