“Thomson holidays system of downloading boarding passes and finding information is a joke, Never used such a useless system, you could learn a lot from EasyJet or Booking.com!”

“Do NOT use this airline. They don’t even deserve 1 star. Jet 2 always! TUI gave me an ultimatum last year. They said I had 3 days to make a decision whether to RISK losing my holiday altogether & all the money I’d paid by cancelling (if Spain wasn’t considered a red zone I wouldn’t be refunded COVID money) or I could postpone my holiday to the following year for £50 each. I postponed it at this time to October 2021 as was too scared to lose the £1200 I paid for my holiday. I phoned up to try and cancel my holiday today 26.4.21 (due to anxieties regarding COVID) and was told I’d lose £650 due to £400 cancellation fee (£200 per person) and id also lose the amendment fees which I’d paid to move dates etc because of COVID (which was encouraged to do by TUI). So I’d be left with £550 out of a £1200 price paid? Absolutely sickening. Jet 2 refunded all their customers without even asking what they wanted- refunds given to every passenger rapid. Whereas all TUI have done is cause anxiety and stress. They charge you for EVERYTHING. I then asked to make a complaint but was told they don’t have a complaints line and if I wanted to do this I’d have to seek legal advice? Which they know people won’t do as lawyers are costly. I am NEVER booking with TUI again. Sickened and disappointed.”

“I have had three holidays cancelled by TUI due to Covid. The first cancellation was back in March 2020. I was informed by e mail that since I booked in store I would have to wait until my store re-opened for a refund. My store did not re-open for 8 long months. However, I did get a further e mail saying I would be issued with a refund credit followed by a booking incentive. I was told I could not even begin to apply for a refund without these documents and I never received either. I did eventually manage to contact them by phone (3 months later) and transferred to a holiday for summer 2021. That holiday has now been cancelled. I understood that TUI had now made a commitment to refund within 14 days following many complaints to the CMA. This is not happening. I was told on my e mail someone would ring to discuss my options. I did receive a phone call a week later but the person said they could only re-book the holiday and as I wanted a refund that a member of the refund team would have to ring me. I was promised this would be within 14 days. It is now over a month and nobody from the refund team has contacted me. It is impossible to get hold of TUI. I am working and do not have the time (nor the bank balance) to hold on a phone for hours waiting for them to answer. Any e mail sent to TUI is bounced back saying they are not monitoring e mails and I am directed to a link which shows me how to book a holiday. I have sent a recorded letter to head office but it was duly ignored. I would not recommend TUI to anyone.”

“Watch out! Tui do not take responsibility for the quality of their excursions. My son ended up in intensive care in Jamaica after catching Samonella eating a prepaid meal as part the excursion. Or it could have been the hotel Rui Negril, other people were ill. He and his girlfriend spent most of their holiday in hospital and had reoccuring illness.”

“The worst company 😡. Been trying to get hold of them for a week now trying to get my money back from a cancelled holiday due to Covid 19. Surprisingly you can get through to pay the rest of your holiday but you get tour call cancelled or on hold when you want your money back. I got through to someone through the payment line, they took all of my details and as soon as I said I want a refund they wasnt interested and told me to ring a number which said it wasnt being used anymore!!! Disgusting behaviour and business. I will never book with a big company again!!!!”

“We had booked to go to Jamaica with TUI in August, it would be our second visit to this hotel which is wonderfully by the way. I am a vulnerable disabled customer on personal independence payments with very low immunity and even though trips to Jamaica are only suspended until July I’m still not willing to get in a flight this year it’s too much of a risk for me. We were staying in a Riu Hotel and they have closed temporarily in Jamaica and the UK can’t fly there at present. I have explained my circumstances to TUI and I am aware I won’t get a refund (£250 at this point) but to cancel they’ve told me I can only rebook another holiday and transfer the deposit or pay another £250 to cancel it as they say we’d only paid half the deposit which we honestly didn’t realise. I am at present on 12 week lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak because of my vulnerable status and my husband has been laid off and that money would be a great deal for us to pay at this point. I am absolutely appalled at the lack of empathy I’ve received and have totally lost faith in TUI after this disgusting treatment.”

“Customer service does not exist. I want to cancelattion our vacation, to which we have the right, because two of us have lost our jobs and we can't afford to pay the holidays. However, you cannot connect to TUI because the telephone lines are selected. I don't have a live chat and can't provide an email address. The same holiday cannot be changed via the Internet. In any case, we need an answer before April 14. I know these are hard times, but there really should be a way to contact TUI. Customer service does not exist.”

“We were denied check as we were 4 minutes late this morning and have now been told we will lose 100% of our package holiday. This is absurd we were late by 4 minutes only, plenty time to clear customs and board, minutes late and this is how we have been treated, told deal with it with your insurance company”

“I read an old review claiming that the resort reps were difficult to contact. I have to say that they seem to have addressed thisissue: On a recent 7day holiday I noticed the rep in the resort on three separate days. He also supplied his mobile phone number on the first day of the holiday.”

“My partner and I went to Jamaica in 2019 from 29 November to the 10 December. We both have a lovely time with TUI and at The Decameron resort hotel Runaway bay. The place is sublime.. The hotel top class.. Accommodation very good.. Absolutely nothing bad to say about either TUI or and The Decameron resort hotel. The staff from the hotel were very helpful,polite, friendly and available to your needs at any time. Lots of activities to suit your needs and age. entertainment every single day and evening. Our rep there was Tracy from TUI, very good rep knowledgeable person with regards to Jamaica and very helpful too. We had a package where everything was included like food and drink. We booked 3 trip to Bob Marley resting place in Nine Mile St Anne with visit to Dunn falls Place with meal by the beach. Our second trip was in Kingston to the Bob Marley Museum then a coffee plantation a meal by the mountain outside Kingston. Then our final trip was the blue lagoon. To sum up our stay we have had the most amazing holiday to such a unique and wonderful beautiful country Jamaica. We have had mesmerising memories with the places we visited. They were all amazing. We recommend Jamaica to anyone especially TUI who, were brilliant from start to finish. One love to Jamaica. God bless Bob Marley. Jérôme Andrea xx”

“Tui demanded £40 to give me a seat near the toilet due to my age and health condition, tui refused to provide me with a seat near the toilets without the additional charge of £40 "one day Tui CEO will get old"”

“Contacted Tui after I had several complaints with a hotel I stayed at through them. I wrote a long detailed list including the fact I contracted SALMONELLA POISONING (confirmed by public health england) They did not read any of the detailed complaints thoroughly and as such did not address or answer any. Basically the inadequate training of their staff replied to me by basically sweeping it under the carpet. Its madness because if it had been addressed correctly I would not now be on a mission to highlight all of the complaints through every review site I can find.”

“Appalling customer service. Booked a cruise over a year ago now they are making significant changes to the itinerary a few days before we fly. No option to cancel and very poor compensation. Their Customer Service department replies to emails if they feel like it. The option is 'you book what you want, we will supply what we want'. I think that with Thomas Cook going bust these people feel they can do what they like; avoid.”

“I'm afraid one star is too many for this company. We booked for a holiday in Venice.The holiday was fantastic..Thanks to the hotel. On the flight home our case did not arrive with us due to the incompetence of the TUI baggage handler at Venice. One month down the line we do not have our case. Every day we ring the Lost Baggage Phonelune only to be fobbed off with lies and the promise to call back. They are a disgrace. We have had absolutely no help in getting our belongings back. And no guarantee for compensation. I would never book a holiday with TUI again. Our experience has been an absolute shambles.”

“Worst customer service I have ever encountered For a company the size of Tui their customer service is absolutely shocking and non existent! . Been trying to contact this company for 4 whole days, waiting for someone to answer the phone for 40 minutes at all times throughout the day and evening. Today I held on for another 39 minutes for the line to cut off. Same is true for the direct flight number whom I desperately want to talk to. No live chat option appears on the app or website as stated. So frustrated with this company with whom I have booked. My friends have booked the same holiday as us but did it in store and received great customer service, free seat choices and a big saving on the cost,! Stressful business booking a holiday with tui! Haven't crossed the t's and dotted the i's or put a smile on my face as they claim I'm afraid!!!”

“Booked a holiday to Kos on a Dreamliner. ended up saying it was switched to Norwegian which is fine but then a month before booking was told we would be on one of three other airlines which eventually was Smartlynx. The Smartlynx plane we were flown on was plain white, 25 years old and cramped more than ive ever experienced. I appreciate there can be some changes to the plane (as per T&C's!!) but to move us from a new bigger aeroplane when we also had extra legroom to help with two young children to a small old cramped plane is unacceptable. They just don't compare. I wont book with again as you cant rely on them to just change what you booked and not even a fair like for like change! To add to it, the rep in the hotel (representing TUI UK) just said im not from the UK so its nothing to do with me! Helpful lady...”
