Mixed customer service experience

Honestly I have slightly mixed thoughts about Kuoni as I’ve experienced both amazing customer service both from them and their local partners but then I’ve also experienced a complete lack of customer service.

The positives - amazingly helpful during the prolonged period where Covid liked to mess with people and their holidays, issued a voucher for a cancelled holiday (was just the deposit) and kept extending it’s validity.

Really helpful when finally booking the holiday we went on, even though it was booked with Flights out of date range, when the time came to the flights being released there was a small issue but they provided plenty of options.

Holiday was a mixed bag, but that wasn’t Kuoni, their local reps were great and went above and beyond.

The Negative - whilst on said holiday I fell down some stairs just before we were due to leave the resort, this was down to wet stairs and no handles or grips on the wooden deck. This was reported to Kuoni when I got back and the response has been shockingly poor, chased a few times and not much in the way of a response.

So whilst I had an initially very positive experience with them, the way they have handled my feedback afterwards has been disappointing. So much so I can’t see us using them again, if I spend that much on a holiday I’d like to know there is support should something go wrong.

Hi Matthew

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I manage Kuoni's Customer Services team and have picked this up alongside my colleague Alice for you.

Whilst I am delighted to hear that there were lots of positive aspects to your holiday, I am incredibly sorry to read of the issues you faced.

I can see that this complaint was handled by our Cardiff store locally, without head office involvement, and I am really sorry that you have been left feeling dissatisfied. We are passionate about looking after our customers at every stage of their holiday, including after they return, and it is disappointing to hear that we have not met our own high standards on this occasion.

Please be assured that my dedicated post-travel team will be looking after you going forward, and we are working quickly to review your case and ensure you are properly responded to. I will also be working to ensure any training gaps are reviewed with our store team.

We will be in touch with you shortly to update you on our progress, and I must thank you again for taking the time to draw our attention your ongoing disappointment.

Kind regards

Exceptional and helpful as always

As before whenever we have used Kuoni they have been really helpful in searching a wide range of options for us. This time was no exception with our adviser answering all our questions and coming up with the perfect choice for us.

Absolute first class service

Absolute first class service. Dev Armugam's (Sheffield Meadowhall) knowledge and advice were invaluable in being able to plan the kind of holiday tailored to our needs and wants and to ensure that we are able to make the most of our time at our destinations. He was conscious of cost and gave us exactly what we wanted and didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need or want. As returning Kuoni customers, unlike many other travel consultants, they have managed to retain their excellent, first-class customer service throughout the difficult economic landscape. Would highly recommend.

Hi Flashcooper

It's great to hear that you have had such a great experience booking your holiday with us.

Malcolm is an absolute star, and what he doesn't know about Africa isn't worth knowing! I'm so glad he was able to answer all of your questions and find you the perfect itinerary.

I hope you have a truly wonderful holiday in Africa, that is full of special experiences and treasured memories.

Bespoke and prompt service

Bespoke and prompt service. Our requirements were clearly understood and the holiday search performed accordingly.
The proposal was in writing and the details explained clearly.
Costs were listed in a transparent manner and cancellation policy was explained well.

Holiday in Malaysia 2026

We recently contacted Kuoni following a very successful and enjoyable holiday in Singapore and Malaysia earlier in 2025. This time we wished to travel mainly to Penang and Langkawi in Malaysia. Kuoni was most efficient and helpful, giving good advice to make the most of our time there and in organizing the travel and hotel arrangements that best met our requirements. Highly recommended.
