Thomas Cook 3 star review on 14th September 2025

“Discovered 5 days before holiday that the hotel was under major refurbishment scheduled for 3-4 months. Other travel agents aware and it’s on their website. Thomas Cook denied being aware and even after I sent trip adviser picture and other travel agents confirmation they still refused to accept the position. I asked for either a move to another hotel or a refund. I could have another hotel if I pay for the hotel in full plus other charges on top of my already paid for holiday. Matter now in the hands of my credit card company for a refund”

“Extremely poor customer experience. The Thomas Cook representative was unaware of the mandatory 72-hour advance booking requirement for the shore excursion and realized this only after taking the full payment. Due to this mistake, the excursion could not be booked. What made the situation worse was the unreasonable delay in processing the refund, despite multiple follow-ups. Even more disappointing was the behavior of the managers, who were rude and unhelpful instead of taking ownership of the mistake. Customers should not suffer or be charged gateway fees for errors made by the company. This is by far the worst experience I have had with any travel agency. I will never recommend Thomas Cook to anyone.”

“The team from Thomas cook only contacts you when they need to confirm a booking or take money from you, for all other queries they are never available. Horrible experience with Thomas Cook. Please don't plan your travel with Thomas Cook for your own peace of mind.”

“One word - Horrible experience! Booked Magical Asia tour with Thomas Coo. Very disappointing! On the day of travel, while checking in, I got to know that they had entered my son's detail in Thai airways incorrectly (showing minor as adult) and I had to deal with these Thomas cook from 10am to 6pm on the day of travel for something as silly as this! Absolute no accountability! Absolute horrible experience! Transparency Issues: Key details such as non-stop flight options and the “or similar hotel” clause should be communicated upfront. This lack of clarity creates confusion and erodes trust. Hotel Quality: The hotels offered feel below expectations for the package price. Customer Empathy: When I expressed my willingness to book a better hotel in Kuala Lumpur at my own expense (INR 30,000), the response was rigid. Instead of showing flexibility, I was told to coordinate with the tour manager for pick-up/drop-off—even though my chosen hotel is only 7 minutes from Grand Continental. Group tours commonly accommodate pickups from multiple hotels in the same area; other travel companies manage this seamlessly. Communication Style: My questions were not addressed directly. The representative (Rahul from Service quality team) kept repeating standard clauses rather than listening and responding to the actual concern.”

“You are running a fraud business. We booked Newzeland trip from Kolkata 4 months ago through Mr Sujit in your Salt Lake branch. We repeatedly requested to book Singapore Airlines (if extra charge needed we were ready to pay) as it’s only 16-17 hours..No action was taken..Now just 4 weeks before the trip we are given Quantas flight from Bangalore..which will take total 30-32 hours..the agent looks clueless.. We contacted support system..they are now saying that ticket is not available..we have to travel as per their choice..Mr Sujit is very difficult to reach & seldom responds.. Travelled many times to foreign with MMT. Thomas Cook is unprofessional & distrusting.”

“I am very disappointed with Thomas Cook. We booked a city break for this December to New York based on their reviews for a hotel called Millennium Hotel Downtown New York, which had a 4.2-star rating. After booking, I was made aware that the hotel had changed management some time ago and is now called M Social Downtown New York, which has very poor reviews, including reports of customers being scammed out of money. When I raised this issue with Thomas Cook and informed them that they had falsely advertised a hotel that no longer is there and the reviews are not a true reflection, I expected a reasonable resolution. We would never have booked this hotel had we known the true situation and the negative reviews. Furthermore, when I asked Thomas Cook if we could change hotels, they wanted to charge us over £3,000 for a brand-new booking, including flights that we had already paid for. All we wanted was to switch hotels and pay the difference, not to make an entirely new booking at such a high cost. I am extremely dissatisfied with how this situation has been handled and the lack of fair options offered. Sadly we are stuck with a hotel that may scam us out of money all because Thomas Cook was advertising the incorrect hotel on their website with the incorrect reviews.”

“Our holiday with Thomas Cook was a complete disappointment. The trip was delayed, disorganised, and stressful from start to finish. Communication during the disruption was poor, updates were inconsistent, and support was almost non-existent. What should have been a relaxing break turned into days of frustration and wasted time. I raised a complaint on 23 September 2025 and, over a month later, still haven’t had a proper response or any progress on a refund. The lack of accountability has been shocking. When things go wrong, Thomas Cook simply stop replying. If you’re thinking of booking, do yourself a favour and go directly through the airline or hotel — you’ll get better service, clearer information, and far less stress if something goes wrong. I won’t be using Thomas Cook again and will be passing this case to ABTA for independent review.”

“I had a really frustrating exprience with Thomas Cook who had a "digital error" which meant our booking didn't get to the hotel and we didn't recieve the stay that we paid for. We raised this complaint to Thomas cook but they offered no compensation for the mistake they made because of their T&C's nonsense. We will never use Thomas Cook again and I would advise people not use them as they appear to profit over known issues in their booking system.”

“Everything was wrong . Itinerary given was misleading and opted put of the highlights of the trip undertaken and replaced with visits to places of no significance. Do not trust TC’s itinerary as everything will change according to their whims and fancies. You go abroad for a cultural and food experience instead they give you an Indian experience abroad.”

“Our experience with Thomas Cook travel company was extremely disappointing. The services promised were not delivered, and the lack of professionalism caused us serious inconvenience and stress. Such negligence is unacceptable from a reputed company. We expected a seamless and reliable service, but instead faced frustration and dissatisfaction. This experience has completely shaken our trust, and we strongly advise others to be cautious before choosing their services.”Our trip was sensational Europe it started from 16th September. We were just changing hotels every day.Hotels quality was below average and even the food quality was not good below everage. Everyone in our was very upset.”

“Worst Experience with Thomas Cook They made false promises while selling the card and currency. Said I’ll get a SIM card before travel, but at the last moment told me it’s not even valid for my country. Also lied about the card validity—promised 5 years but it’s only 3 years. Totally misleading and untrustworthy.”

“A horrible experience with Thomas Cook I would like to share the horrible experience I had with Thomas Cook recently related to booking References CFT2501664 and CFT2502021 under the TCS 2.0 regime. Despite the brand’s reputation, we faced several serious issues: A disorganized and frequently altered itinerary Poor quality hotels and rigid transport arrangements Hidden charges and duplicate insurance billing (refunded only after escalation) Little to no support during or after the trip What was most frustrating, however, was the post-travel response. I escalated the matter to senior leaders — including Mahesh Iyer, Syed Sarmad , Rahul Jaggi— but received no meaningful resolution. Mr. Sarmad, in particular, failed to respond despite repeated follow-ups, which I found deeply unprofessional for someone in a senior customer-facing role. This experience has severely damaged our trust in the brand. I share this not out of malice, but in the hope that Thomas Cook India takes accountability and improves its customer care standards.”

“Went on European Express tour in June 2025. The tour was like a road trip where we travelling for hours together every day to spend around 2 hours or even less and the tourist spot. The support of Thomas Cook team is NIL particularly when there is a crisis, like someone stole our cash and jewellery from the hotel room booked by Thomas Cook but there was no support from Thomas Cook. Considering the amount that we had paid, Thomas Cook was a big disappointment and I will not recommend it to anyone. Poor arrangements, more of road travel and no support to be precise.”
