GoSingles レビュー 

whilst the overall week long trip to lake Garda was a very enjoyable holiday experience in a very beautiful location and a very pleasant group of friends, i feel that it was let down in a few areas which could be improved upon for future customers, the group meeting were rushed and could have been accompanied with an A4 paper to refer to when needed to include details of local information and forward details of coach times for the excursions. a larger variation on the meals instead of veal every night and the dreaded fish in brine(should be avoided at all costs). personally the shower facilities could have been slightly larger and the decor of both the pool area and the courtyard view from the balcony were very worn and dated. however the staff couldn't do enough for us and were very pleasant at all times. overall i would not hesitate to use the same trip again if the above details were dealt with.

I must admit to been apprehensive before going but my doubts soon vanished when we met everyone- what a lovely crowd and we all seemed to get on too- the hotel was fine in an ideal location- only niggle was what was planned for the Sunday never materialised for whatever reason and my friend Peter and I arranged a 4 mile walk to Bettys at Harlow Carr gardens and back - then a visit to a local museum- then was the only damper on what was a great weekend.

I was not informed in advance that I would be charged £20 to park my car.
The welcome meeting was anything but.
Someone called Jon became over involved.

Great customer care by the reps Jon and Viv but the room could have been better. Staff in the Old Swan were fantastic but the room was on the old side and small

I spent the 1st week of my holiday on the Gulet boat cruise. I can’t praise this experience enough, we were totally spoilt by the captain and his crew for the entire week. The food was amazing, all prepared and freshly cooked on board. The swim stops and views were simply spectacular and sleeping under the stars on deck (berths were available and very nice, but hot in July) was magical. Thank you Shani, Aterjay, Josef and Suleman (all spelt wrong sorry!!).
Week 2 was a total change of pace at the Olympos Hotel, but what didn’t change was how well we were looked after. We were cheerfully greeted and checked in by M, before his brother H arrived and made us some excellent cocktails. They looked after us very well all week. So drinks by the lovely pool and good company pretty much set the tone for the rest of the holiday. The Reps Karen and Gary were great fun and a wealth of local knowledge from the best handbag\perfume shops to the best bar crawls and Turkish Baths.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Turkey and would highly recommend this trip.

I will start from the my first contact with Go Singles , The very best office staff i have ever dealt with , helpful, polite, and made everything easy ,next i met the manager ( H ) and the hotel staff , happy helpful very nice people . Next i met the 2 hotel reps ( Gary and Karen ) absolute , genuine , kind , descent people, i observed how they catered for every persons needs and reservations ( it's not the easiest thing to do to go on holiday on your own ) , then i met the owner ( Ash and his wife ( Honey ) you could not fault them , they helped the staff , guests and were very hands on and approachable .

Group of pleasant people, right number. Good size boat/ship, not as big as usual river ones, well maintained and food nice.

Information a bit sparse re activities (had to look at the television and/or I couldn't understand the announcements made). Usually daily info given in written form.

Great company and fab local reps. Hotel friendly and all adult guests. Close to shops, bars and restaurants

My holiday to Kos (Greece) was amazing and I only have positive things to say about it.

The group I was with were a great bunch and very easy to get along with. A lot of our time was spent off the resort doing things like sight seeing, eating and drinking, and chilling out on the beach, so there was a lot of variety.

What I particularly liked about this holiday was that there was never a dull moment during our time together. We laughed, joked, had fun, and made the most of our experiences out there.

With regards to the organisation of the holiday, I felt that things ran smoothly. More specifically because when I landed in Greece, I was introduced to the group at the airport and we were then driven to the hotel together, so we were already well acquainted before setting foot inside the accommodation.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were very polite and helpful, which is always great to see. And there was usually some kind of entertainment on in the evening, which was a nice relaxing way to end each day.

I would definitely do this holiday again and will be going on more of these types of holidays in the near future. This is the second time I've been on a Go Singles holiday and I've really enjoyed both holidays.

To anyone who's reading this and is on the fence about it, my advice would be to just give it a go and make the most of the experience. You'll be glad you did and I'm sure you'll have a great time in the process.

The gulet cruise was the best holiday I have ever had. The crew were so attentive, the food was amazing, the places we went were so beautiful. I chose to be phone free and the stress just leaves and you really feel like you have had a holiday. The week in the hotel was also amazing. I chose to laze around the pool and this complimented the week before very well. I would so recommend this holiday for relaxation and I also got to meet some really lovely people too.

I've holidayed with gosingles several times and never once had an issue.
Having recently spent 2 weeks at the Olympus in Turkey, I can highly recommend it.
Ash and the staff are so attentive and friendly, the rooms cleaned daily and the food was superb

Got off to a bad start with nobody to collect us for around 3 hours !! Will not be using you again. No apology and a 3 hour flight relay on returning to UK. The poor outward bound experience put a real damper on the holiday.

The helpfulness of the staff on booking. The travel arrangements were great including transfers. The choice of hotel was brilliant being small, rustic and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. The rooms are basic and could do with an update but are perfectly adequate.

Never having been on a singles holiday I was not quite sure what to expect, but I met a great group people and had a fantastic holiday. I can thoroughly recommend it.

I have travelled as a solo traveller several times before but not for around 9 yrs so was a bit nervous this time so decided to book with a company specialising in solo travel so I had more security as a lone female traveller.
The flight time on the Monday was very late arriving (2.55am the tues morning) and most the group would have been there from Monday lunchtime onwards so I paid £215 to fly out a day early on the Sunday so I could get a nights sleep before meeting my fellow guests.
I landed on time and got through passport control and baggage collection in under 30 mins and headed out the airport for my transfer at 3.15am to find no one there. I assumed maybe they were just running a bit late especially as I got through so quickly. This was not the case. After waiting about half hour I tried the emergency mobile contact number for Karen the rep from my paperwork and it was switched off! I continued to try this for the next 2hrs and left a voicemail and text and no one got back to me. By this time I was alone, pretty shaken up and not sure what to do. Eventually at 5.15am I got a cab on my own to the hotel arriving at 6am to find the hotel locked up and no one on reception.
I was finally spotted by one of the hotel staff heading out on her morning run at around 7.30am She couldn’t speak any English but did call another member of staff who contacted someone else and said someone should be with me in about 20 mins.
The receptionist finally arrived at 8.15am and advised me no one had advised the hotel I was coming a day early. She then took me up to my room, I realised it was not a pool view room that I’d paid for so had to go back down to reception to sort out, again apparently Go singles had advised I’d booked a standard room for the whole week when I’d booked and paid for the pool view. This was sorted and I was shown to the correct room just before 9am.
I raised a complaint with the Go singles office as soon as I woke up and continued exchanging emails with them over the course of the holiday, I am not unreasonable and understand mistakes sometimes happen but they refused to refund any part of the excess I paid for the extra night or give anything as compensation for what was an extremely stressful experience. Yes I used the room but had the transfer picked me up on time I would’ve been in the room by around 4.15am not 9am so obviously never got the nights sleep which was the only reason I paid extra to fly out early in the first place.
The only thing they agreed was to refund the taxi fare which even that they used a different exchange rate to what I’d got the day before when I changed up my money so left me out of pocket.
To add insult to injury later that afternoon the other rep Gary jokingly suggested in front of other guests that “its a shame you didn’t have my number as the emergency contact, you could’ve stayed at mine, nod nod wink wink” !!
Then the following morning at breakfast Karen the rep was more annoyed at the fact I had her number at all and said “ you shouldn’t even have that number, it’s my private uk number”
Despite all this I did have a lovely week away but this was entirely down to the lovely group and the wonderful staff at the Olympos rather than anything Go singles or the reps contributed.
Needless to say I will never use Go singles again, every other solo traveller company I’ve used has been significantly better organised and a much higher level of customer service.

Let me start this review by advising that this was only my second time as a solo traveller. My first experience was with the company I have been told is the gold standard in singles travel and the rep I had has a reputation as one of their best so I was judging this holiday against high standards.

Booking process - Definitely could be improved, from the dubious looking (but obviously legitimate) payment methods to the lack of communication from booking until very close to the holiday. I actually went back online to read further reviews a few weeks from my departure as I was convinced that I had fallen for a scam website.

Travel - Seemed a mixed experience amongst our group, I could not fault any part of my own, flights with Jet2 where others had lower standard budget airlines and a transfer waiting for me alone at the airport so we were able to leave as soon as I walked out of the airport door.

Hotel - Other than being in need of a little renovation the hotel ticked most of the boxes. Be aware that whereas some singles companies use exclusive singles hotels this is an adults only hotel but has couples staying in it. The only gripe I would have with the hotel, other than it being a little tired, is it's lack of staff who spoke a good level of English. The hotel appeared over-reliant on one member of staff (who admittedly worked 11am-1am six days a week) for anything requiring communication with English guests.

Reps - We had two reps for this holiday, who apparently had the same days off as one another, my expectation would be that if you are going to have two that would be to provide every day availability. Contact with the reps in an official capacity was very limited as they were there for a short time at breakfast and then for some of the included evening meals. The welcome meeting at the start of the holiday was very brief as was detail about any excursions available and what to expect. In the main however both were personable and got along with the group, the exception to this being the male rep, Gary, risking upsetting members of the group with his sense of humour including repeated sexist jokes and making fun of the strong regional accent of a group member (even considering he had a strong regional accent himself)

Food - The package included breakfast every day, this was a reasonable cold selection plus omelettes or eggs cooked fresh, other cooked items were available but as chargeable extras. The hotel offered a lunch service six days out of seven with an extensive menu priced broadly in line with the surrounding bars and restaurants and cooked to a good standard. The package also included four three course meals. One thing to bear in mind with these, if you are a picky eater, is that there were no options or alternatives given, you got what the chef cooked. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed all of the four meals and would also observe that despite the lack of choice the majority of the group ate the majority of every course.

Our group - My reason for picking Go Singles this holiday was the option to book a 30-49 age group holiday. Our group wasn't as large as I expected, we had three men and three women from the age group plus one young at heart older gentleman who had his booking changed by the operator. We all seemed to get along well despite no apparent effort being made by the reps to help with this, my expectation (and experience from my previous holiday) would be that solos holidays may be likely to include some quieter members and I would have expected some efforts to be made by the reps to ensure that a group dynamic formed to include everyone.

In conclusion, I enjoyed my week in Turkey, however, for the reasons highlighted above if I was a different personality I may not have.

Expensive. The did sort my change of holiday week before.The hotel was comfortable, good food. Chania was a nice resort in Crete. A few mishaps in the hotel. I bumped my head on a lethal metal shelf. The tour rep was nice but wasn’t helpful. I was with a nice small group. Mixed my opinion

The time spent on the boat was lovely. Great food and service throughout. I had been looking forward to fishing and paddle boarding, as suggested in the publicity for this holiday and was disappointed to see that these weren't available.
The company itself were very little help when we had severe delay to our outgoing flights and the communication from company staff felt disengaged and lacked any sense of real proactive support.

Great Holiday . Although changed at last minute . Hotel now 1st week Gulet second week . Would have been better other way round . First week at Hotel with under 50,s . Luckily I was accepted I'm over 70. Great companions .
Gulet boat fantastic and very relaxing with lovely other guests. Food superb..
Would go again but early or late season . Very hot at the moment July .

I have made enquiries regarding this company's Harrogate weekend in August and have discovered that the hotel they have selected does not provide for vegans whatsoever!
I really do not know who is worse out of the two organisations concerned for allowing this state of affairs to prevail - the hotel itself or Go Singles who are both burying their heads in the sand over the crisis our planet and environment is in as they prioritise lining their pockets by providing for the mass meat eaters.
Supply and demand should not be an excuse for vegans to be treated like second class citizens, discriminated against and made to feel that they shouldn't exist.
Thank you Go Singles for also depriving me of the opportunity of going on this trip!

We were a small group of 4 who soon bonded and had a good sense of humour. We all did our own thing mainly, during the day, but did share our experiences of each day.
The resort was small and the people friendly.
The hotel was clean and the restaurant itself was lovely.
The rooftop pool area was very sad/neglected. Lots of weeds and no pool bar. But I did enjoy the pool and the peace and quiet (though bear in mind there is a busy main road running past the hotel).
I did not use the spa facilities - but hear they were very good, indeed described as more superior than the hotel itself.
In all - an enjoyable/relaxing break.
There was little information at the hotel with regard to things to do, but there is a tourist information centre nearby.
