TUI Reviews: What Is Worth Checking?
Large review platforms and consumer surveys do not tell exactly the same story about TUI. Trustpilot currently shows a strong overall score from a very large number of reviews, with many customers praising staff, booking and organisation. Other independent consumer research has been more critical, particularly around accommodation expectations and value for money.
Because TUI sells a very wide range of hotels and holiday types, we would not choose a trip based on the company-wide star rating alone. Check recent reviews for the specific hotel you are considering, the airline shown on your booking, what is included in the package and the current amendment and cancellation terms before paying.
TUI Hotel Only
TUI now sells hotel-only stays online as well as flight-inclusive package holidays. If you already have flights or are travelling independently, compare the hotel-only price with the equivalent package before booking because the total value can differ significantly.
A hotel-only booking is not ATOL protected simply because it is booked through TUI. ATOL protection applies to eligible flight-inclusive packages, while hotel-only arrangements can have different forms of financial protection. Always check the protection and cancellation terms that apply to the exact booking you choose.
