Tourist comments

You have to laugh.

Some people are never happy.

Some have to complain as it's in their nature.

Offer the Ritz at £20 a night and they'd find fault.

Here are some of ours and many from around the world.

I stayed at this hotel in the Austrian Tyrol and no one told me it was mountanous as being disabled I struggled.. ( Haven't you seen The Sound of Music ??? )

The rain was so noisy last night, can't you do something to quieten it down so I can sleep. ( I'll have a word with Mother Nature and God and see if we can sort this out for you Babes. You just stay there and play with those electric sockets.. )

Staying at a Farm House Hotel guest complained the cows mooing as they came in for milking at 6am woke her up. It's a farm. ( She wasn't expecting animals on a farm, in Guernsey, famous for - er - GUERNSEY COWS and the richest milk in the world... she was told that they use to farm dinasors - which were much noisier - and for a few moments she actually believed it. )

Some other local attractions were closed when we visited and the hotel should have advised us. ( It's not their job dear to monitor other venues and report back to you. You REALLY are expecting the earth ...)

In the pictures the beach looks lovely but no one said the tide would go out and we didn't get the same view all the time. We were not told. ( Do you need telling to breath in - now breath out - now in again - etc. as so much in life is common sense dear. )

Family holiday ruined as no power points on the beach and we could not plug in our fan to cool us down.

( Maybe if you paddled out into the sea you might be able to find a power socket and plug yourself into the mains out there and do, please, stand in water and plug yourself in. Let's all enjoy the fireworks. )

The beach was too sandy, it was in my shoes, in my clothing, and in my car. Why can't they limit the amount of sand and pave it over. ( Nurse, they are out of bed again, bring the meds...)

My dog shit on the beach and we were thrown off by a beach warden. The sign said no dogs but I didn't think it meant me, I'm American. ( Oh here we go again. that American 'I'm special. your rules do not apply as I have the Constitution. ' Oh dear again - Yes we all know you are special... SPECIAL NEEDS... you bloody moron. )

I wasn't expecting rain in April and it ruined my weekend. ( Have you never heard of April Showers...)

Took a two week cruise and all we saw - mostly - was sea. I paid to see different countries and not the sea all the time. ( Oh dear, another Karen... 90% of the planet is covered with water - so how did you think a cruise ship would travel...)

The ponies in the New Forest are not very friendly and do not come and let us pat them and put our grandkids on their backs for a free ride ( The ponies are wild - You are not in an amusement park and the ponies are not here for your amusement. If your grandkid got bitten or kicked by a wild pony, who do you think would be responsible for being an complete and utter idiot ? YOU DEAR. )

Complained that when they made the booking a few weeks prior - was told the weather was sunny and now they arrive it has changed to overcast and they complaned they were misinformed. ( Oh dear, Some people are just a waste of breath.)

The New Forest - far too many trees, why is it so dense. ( No dear, why are YOU so dense...)

It was billed as a coaching holiday but we were not aware it was mostly spent on the actual coach. I get travel sick and it was awful. I demand my money back. ( So you booked a coach tour;- You suffer from travel sickness;- and the itinerary was quite clear what was involved but you still booked KNOWING you suffer from travel sickness. No refund. Maybe an appointment at Spec Savers or with a mental health nurse.)

Camping at this wonderful site - let itself down when smoke kept blowing in my face as we sat around the camp fire and as much as I moved, it kept following me. Was this done deliberately because I previously complained about the sun being too bright in the mornings. ( This had to be fake but was actually real. There really are some dumb people out there.)

Idilic camp ground. Beautiful location. Scottish Highlands. Ruined when a squirrel stole our food. Left it out while we swam in the loch and when we came back, ruined and this damned squirrel just sat there and arrogantly stared at us. Can't the locals train these squirrels not to do this . ( Sure thing, would you like them to do tricks as well, like sit, roll over, beg... and just wait until you see what we have trained the Loch Ness Monster to do. Back flips, Forward jumps, it's amazing and to any MAGAs reading, that's 100% true... )

I visited the Jurasic Coast of Dorset and was expecting dinasors and things but - nothing - just some old fossils and no living creatures to be seen anywhere. ( You needed to book the tour that left a little earlier, several million years earlier. )

The brochure showed sandy beaches but there were pebbles with the sand and this was not what we expected. This is too dumb to even answer.

I appreciate I arrived outside of the Arrivals Time but you really would have thought there would be someone there to greet me, and I had to stand in the rain for 3 hours and got soaked and caught a cold. I was a full refund. ( None was forthcoming as - who arrived too early KNOWING he is too early ? )

The noise from people snoring kept me awake all night. Why should I pay ? ( You stayed in a Youth Hostel with 25 other people in your party. You shared a room with 5 others. Complain to them, not us. We absolutely do not need this kind of garbage rhetoric. )

As an american why don't you people in Europe learn the propper American language. When you do speak our language you speak it funny. ( Why oh why are so many Americans so pig shit uneducated ? You are speaking MY language - ENGLISH - from ENGLAND - also known as BRITAIN - and sometimes as GREAT BRITAIN - the country thousands of your citizens emigrated from. The county that had an empire spanning the globe, more than you have ever done - and you speak ENGLISH - NOT - AMERICAN- ENGLISH. You may call it what you like but its English and you have bastardised our language. )

I am allergic to wasps and asked the hotel to close all windows and exterior doors and they said this was impossible to do - I complained. They said there was nothing they could do and that they had no control over flying insects in the garden and after I said it was not good enough. I was ignored. ( Good, there is only so much someone can do for you and then you take your own responsibility and do you honestly think your request was a thoughtful request to any business and not that of an entitled karen..)

I know it is normally not available but as I do not like eating in front of people so I will take my meals in my room, so please arrange for them to be brought to my room. ( He went without as we refused. We always go that little bit further but when someone takes the piss..... Fuck off. )

I'm an American and I don't care that it was Bargain B&B -- I expect service when I call for something.

( ha ha . Yes dear. Now take your meds and shut the fuck up or piss off to the Hilton. )

The room only had a shower. We wanted a bath. We were told there was not one single bath in the whole hotel - all showers. I insisted on a bath and the receptionist just stared at me as if I was stupid. She just kept saying ' We have no baths' - and I kept saying - ' That's not good enough, I need a bath.' - and she just stared at me again. Why are hotel staff not trained to give customer service satisfaction when travelling in Europe like we get back home in the States. ( This is the exact reason American tourists are so hated and reviled when travelling abroad as SO MANY ARE SO THICK and offer SUCH AN APPALLING demonstration of the lack of education towards the rest of the world as they are so closeted in the USA. and they seem so content to be - uneducated - about so much the rest of the world knows and takes for granted. )

I was charged double as I used both beds in a twin bedded room while being alone. I see no reason why I should pay for the second bed ( er - You used it - you dirtied the bedding - why does one person sleep in two beds ? Unless you were beside yourself ( ? ) or have a split personality...( ? )

I'm, American I demand service now. ( She was left there to sit and scream and make a show of herself until this old granny just walked up and pointed a finger in her face and told her to behave as she was acting like a child and that was NOT to be tollerated and how she was not in America now and here in Europe we expect common decent manners and she was NOT offering this to her server and so would be left waiting until they closed, if she did not change her ways - It shut her right down. ( Well done Gran )

Why are the few Americans that have an actual passport to leave the country, show themselves to be some of the most obnoxious, badly behaved, full of an arrogant condescending attitude towards everyone else non American. Does America know the world laughs at it, like one does a naughty child. I have known many wonderful Americans who are deeply ashamed of the loud mouthed yobs, the craziness and the politics and I hear a lot of apologies for their country, which is so sad, as it is a wonderful country, it just seem to want to show the world the worst of itself all the time.

I have to complain. In Cancun - everyone spoke Spannish and I was not told they spoke a foreign language in Mexico. This is part of the United States, how come we have not brought them into line with us speaking American. (1) You are speaking ENGLISH - see above - and ( 2 ) Mexico is NOT the USA.

Not a thing to eat. Huge supermarkets and not a thing I recognise. All products done to confuse me. How come we cannot buy American goods in Germany. ( Because you are in Germany not the USA )

'This is against my constitutional rights.' - yelled the American tourist. Your constitution does not protect you anywhere on the plant but in the USA, not here in England, not in Africa, Europe, Australia, Thailand, Canada or any place else. NOWHERE. Get it . Got it. Good.

"They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

"On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food." ( So WTF are you doing in India ? )

"We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish." ( Oh dear God give me strength...)

"We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price." ( And you would complain about having to wear second hand costumes and THAT would be wrong. You REALLY have to think for yourself sometimes Luv.)

"We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

"It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned." ( Some people really should not be allowed to exist with such stupidity. Trouble is, they fill the White House currently - and have kids. . )

"No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared." ( Oh dear. It gets sadder and more pathetic as we go along. )

"Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

"I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." ( What every holiday must have, custard creams and ginger nuts. )

"The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

( Some times you really want to shake some of these people and say 'WAKE THE FUCK UP.' )

"It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair." With the world being flat and America bigger than the UK, it is closer. )

"I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller." ( How about your husbands dick, is that smaller as well...)

"The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service." ( Proof that some hairdressers are just plain dumb. They've sniffed too many chemicals )

"We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning." ( I'll speak to Mother Nature for you Babes. See what she can do.)

"It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel." ( Maybe S/He was the unruly passanger as who can tell. There is always one and your complaning shows that to be you. Babes.)

"I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes." ( It didn't mention how we cage difficult customers in the cellar and feed them to the lions - er - Did we not mention this either...?)

"My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked." Maybe it was the immaculate conception or maybe your man is a dirty little fucker who couldn't keep his fucking greedy little paws off your vagina and you allowed him to crawl in there and eat and slept and fuck it all the stay and you greedy little fucka - the pair of you - now have to pay the price cos you got pregnant. Stupid bitch, you never heard of contraception... You're a pair of slime balls, She needs to get her act together and take the man to court for child support. Now - Blame THAT on the hotel. ha ha ha ...

There's no one here to have sex with. - Screamed this fat obnoxious northener. My answer to his face:- Maybe if you lost 80lb, stopped wearing blood and puss soaked leggings, tidied yourself up. stood upright, wiped the dribble from your tiny willy as it drips down past your knees and clean your teeth, your breath is awful, and TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR as you are NOT making yourself look exactly appealing.

As a naturist camp ground, do I have to bring a women with me or do you provide one.

( He was told in no uncertain terms the disgust we felt at his request. )

I brought someone back from a bar and they stayed the night with me and had breakfast and you ( the hotel ) charged me for another guest. I booked a single room and had a single bed and we struggled to cope. why should I pay extra. ( He went to argue with me and I stopped him before he said a single word and stated that THAT IS HOW IT IS - END OF DISCUSSION - PERIOD.' and walked away, charging his card for the other guest.)

I have one main complaint against you and Hamilton Hall Hotel. I HATE WHEN I HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN HOME. It really is the best place on Earth and I do so enjoy my many frequesnt trips to stay with you guys. Great place and a great discovery some yeas ago now. Thanks John. Michael K.

Some people you can never please and at Hamilton Hall, it just makes me laugh when people try and push their luck - oh and they REALLY try and push their luck sometimes - and I just tell them what is going to happen, what we are prepared to do, what we expect from YOU the customer, and after I have said my piece, if they don't like it, they can fuck off. No refund. It is VERY rare we get complaints and when we do, if correct, we will sort out where we can - but sadly, some cannot have a good time unless they are finding fault, and that does not rest well here and they are / will be told to change - or leave - as it ruins it for others staying.

You make, and take, from the news that which you wish to see and hear. You observe what you want and comment of things that affect you personally. If you don't like something, do not read it and move on but do not shy away from what IS going on in the world of which - you are a part. World news is so easy to find these days and differing opinions not hard to find. Having an opinion is vital and being a ' don't care' person helps no one. So open your mind - open your heart - open your awareness and ALWAYS be open to new ideas.
