Please feel free to visit Tripadvisor to see our reviews, clicking the above logo will take you
to our page on their site. You will notice some lovely reviews and some average most of
these are true as far as we can tell, we don't always get it right nor is anyone able to.

 There are also a couple of really, really bad reviews, where we appear to get everything
completely and utterly wrong and we are complete idiots who should not be allowed to run a bath,
never mind an hotel.
These reviews and I am sure you can spot them are written by certain people who have an
interest in us doing badly, I don't need to spell it out,.....

The interesting thing about tripadvisor is that any individual may write anything about anywhere
without any comeback or any rules as to what they write,
BUT for us to reply we need to satisfy their incredibly strict rules, which I find more than a little unfair.

Now, a Little Light Relief!

Some people should not be allowed to go on holidays!

This was sent from Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guests' complaints during the season.
(Survey by Thomas Cook and ABTA)  

 "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."  

 "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."  

 "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."  

 A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".

 A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.  

 "The beach was too sandy."  

 "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."  

 A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.  

 "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."  

 "We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."  

 "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."  

 "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?"  

 "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."  

 "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."  

 "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."  

 "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."   

 "My fiancé 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."

 I have personally dealt with;

"These croutons are too crunchy and hurt my teeth"

"This prawn smells of fish"

"This ice cream is too cold"

"Can you lower the Jumbrella as I wish to sit in the sun"
Four empty tables in the sun accompanied this remark

Thanks for reading and to our sensible, considerate and intelligent customers,

THANKS!
