You'll find a number of people in the Complaints forum who've had bad experiences when the bed supplier used by TR has let them down. Equally you'll find lots of satisfied customers too including me. Only you can decide if you are willing to take the risk. If you want to be as sure as you can possibly be then you are best advised booking direct with hotel you want but this will probably cost more. And whatever you do, it's always best to make sure that everybody is on the same booking - that way if you do get bumped the whole party will and you won't get split up.

Thanks for quick reply, my family have already booked with direct holidays,I Will be travelling alone, as I'm finding it hard to get a quote for one adult with the tour operators, so it looks like I will have to book desperately, but I am worried in case we don't end up at same hotel. I have emailed the hotel, but they have not deployed.

Any news Shamus?

Hi I have booked hotel with travel republic and flight with thomas cook, just hope it all goes to plan. Thanks

Did the hotel reply or have you booked a different one?

no the hotel never replied, thats why I booked hotel through travel republic.

I can only speak for ourselves, but we've booked with TR several times, without any problems
