Nominations for "Clueless Guests 2010"

A friend booked a B&B in the H. Savoie recently, and arranged for an evening meal to be provided, and a price agreed. She arrived and the next day found there was nobody there to serve breakfast- let alone prepare an evening meal. The owner was nowhere to be found, and other guests prepared breakfast the next day! It wasn't cheap either, and the place quite a shamble. So it goes both ways!

I think that I need to nominate myself as I

1) Once turned up (8 of us) a day too early for the gite - I simply got the wrong day [:$] and I had to get hotel rooms for all of us for a night

2) Turned up (only 4 this time) a day too late, still, not so bad as it was only a case of not using a day I had paid for, the owner fortunately wasn't too bothered.

3) Couldn't find the Gite!  This time I claim it wasn't my fault.  It was in a ski resort with many Gites.  I had directions of sorts but just could not spot the right one.  The Tourist Office were helpful in narrowing down where it was but they too didn't know it.  Eventually I asked in a little local shop who after a bit of thought said 'Ah yes, the named changed a few years ago, there it is accross the road!'  Doh!!!

Received this today...

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."

“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".

"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 think they must be the same guests we get..

Mrs R51
