Cost of holiday rose by £66pp within two days

I was in contact with the company on the Saturday about my holiday and the price, but I needed to wait until the Monday to confirm with my employer that I could take the relevant days off work. When that was confirmed, I called back to complete the booking but was told the fares had increased by £66 pp. There wasn't much I could do about that but it was a shock to see such a rise within such a short amount of time, ie less than two days.

Hi Samantha,

Thank you so much for taking the time for providing feedback on your recently booked holiday with us.

Unfortunately, until a booking is made, flight prices can indeed fluctuate and even increase (though we wish they didn't!).

Despite this, we hope you have a wonderful time in Turkey and thank you so much for booking with us.

Kind regards,

Alice

We were booking a holiday with another company but they did not come up with what we actually wanted. The lady at kuoni listened and tailored the holiday exactly as we had envisioned.

We recently had a face to face booking with Matt at the Nottingham (John Lewis) Branch. The appointment was never felt rushed and Matt managed to tick all the boxes for us for an upcoming holiday to the Maldives, he also managed to get us a good deal on upgraded business class flights.

Excellent Service

Following our last holiday in the Maldives in September we went into the Cheltenham Shop where Jess provided us with a quote for next year. She contacted us in November to let us know of the Black Friday deals which enabled us to book the holiday for about £500 less than the quote. Excellent customer service. Thank you.

Shocking service

We are currently in Vietnam via a kuoni holiday, We asked what the best time to visit would be for a beach holiday in hoi an as one of our stops. November was said to be the best month so we went with the “expert” advice as we have never travelled to Southeast Asia before. unbeknownst to us it’s the middle of the rainy season and while we were in ha long bay about to go to hoi an a typhoon hit it, kuonis response was “hope the weather improves” no correspondence as to whether it was actually safe to go they didn’t care one bit. Also another couple from Sheffield was booked the exact same holiday same dates/hotels/flights, so it isn’t a custom fit package to suit your needs it’s just the same thing they sell to everyone. Avoid them at all costs, shocking customer service.

Hi Tom

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback during your precious holiday time. I'm really sorry to hear your holiday experience has left you feeling so disappointed so far.

Whilst the weather is increasingly unpredictable and not something we can control (much as we'd like to), I am very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our response to you as this will not have been our intention. I must also assure you that all of our holidays are tailormade and unique, and it is simply a coincidence that a fellow holiday-maker has a similar itinerary to you.

I have asked our Operations team to urgently review your feedback and contact you as soon as possible to see what we can do to help you get your holiday back on track.

Kind regards

4 centre holiday to Thailand

Booking a 20 night, 4 centre holiday to Thailand couldn't have been easier. All sorted over a phonecall. I looked at the Kuoni website and decided which locations, hotels etc I wanted. Two of the hotels I that wanted weren't available, but they suggested others nearby which were very suitable. Hannah was very helpful.
