I booked a holiday last weekend to travel in july next year ..i paid the minimum deposit of £50 per person plus insurance total £350.
Where we booked is Club Belizia nr bodrum its look great in the brochure & the agent went through a few reviews which were all good ..but since last weekend ive been looking at reviews on HT & other sites and to be honest i really dont want to take any chances with my 3 youngsters aged 2 8 & 10. mainly because 3 of us are asthmatic which has never posed a problem on previous holidays. Last year we where in a hilly location which wasnt bad..bit there seems to be quite strong reviews on the amount of slopes & stairs in this place
Whats my chances of changing this or cancelling would i lose my deposit ?..booked through thomas cook.
Thanks
Angie
you could change it but only at a cost.
Problem here is the £50 low deposit would be increased to a higher deposit if you cancelled as most low deposits have some small print with them saying if you cancel you have to pay the full deposit!

Yes you can change your holiday any time up to 8 weeks before you are due to go.
You will be chargaed a few by Thomas Cook to do this. anyway don't you have a cooling off period from when you have booked your holiday in case you change your mind. give them a ring and ask them

I dont think you would have any problems changing Angie . As mentioned they will charge a small fee , I think TC charge something like £20 per person or if it is a booking well in advance possibly just a one off £25 .
A friend of mine booked a holiday to Cape Verde with Thomsons before reading reviews . They decided to change but the holiday they then wanted to change to was with another TO so they made a new booking with them and to save their depoit from going down the pan they changed the original one with thomsons to a weekend break at obviously a fraction of the original cost to Cape Verde . Probably didnt cost them much more than the deposit they had already put down and would have lost.

Thanks folks i will probably go down and have a chat with TC see what they can do for me.
angie i had the same problem as you, although not for the same hotel. I booked through Thomas Cook local branch for June next year, agent went through some reviews which sounded good, came home and did my own research and was in tears!!! i went back in 4 weeks after i booked it because i couldn't decide what to do, they charged me £35 per person to change my entire holiday and I kept my deposit and everything I'd paid, was just £105 (3 of us) amendment fee. Its supposed to be £35 per person per change but when the agent phoned the head office they said because it was so far in advance they'd do it for £35 per person flat rate...and i changed EVERYTHING...dep airport, arrival airport, date, hotel etc etc.
Good luck!
Good luck!
I phoned TC they tell me its £30 per person per change
.. my agent told me to email the hotel & make them aware of the compaints to see if i get any response but to be honest probably wont make much difference. I will give it another week or two see how i feel.
The hotel looks great in the photos too..we went to lykia last year which had a few steps & slopes which we managed ok but any steeper than that i wouldnt be too confident.

we stayed at club ersan in 2006 i think, which is next door to the one you have booked....
i went into beliezeand asked the manager if i could look round...it looked lovely....
email the hotel a lovely email, explain how old the children are ect, and ask if its possible to have a low room....
if you need answers quickly then phone them....make sure you get the name of who you speak too...

Well folks i have now changed my holiday didnt want to take any chances with my 3 youngsters. TC was kind enough to do it for me with no extra charges. We had to change the destination to Lanzarote which accomodates the 5 of us in a 2 bed apt.
Im so gratefull for your replies & to Thomas Cook.
