Travel Republic

Hi all,

I’ve just book an all inclusive hotel through travel republic, all that I have paid is a £5 deposit with the balance being due a week or two before we travel in October. What experience do people have with TR? It seems a very low deposit, I don’t want to get there and find that I don’t have a hotel to go to! :D

    We've booked hotels and flights + hotels with Travel Republic in the past (last used probably 5 years ago).
    Never had a problem.

    Agree with the above,have used them several times and no problems,other people have but then again people have had problems with:-
    British Airways
    Virgin
    TUI
    ETC,ETC
    you get the picture,if your paperwork etc does not turn up or its not what you booked contact them and have it sorted out,they have been in business for a lot of years.

    That’s put my mind at rest, thank you both.
  • Used them a few times, so have other family members. They were great at helping sorting out a room allocation issue too whilst on holiday

    Travel Republic is a b2c travel brand within the Dnata Group, ultimately owned by the family and ruling Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of the United Arab Emirates, and ruler of the Emirate of Dubai. Sits in the same stable of businesses as Gold Medal, Travel 2 and Emirates Airlines. 
  • C'mon Ganga, I have also used them. I tend to use company's until they let you down. TR have certainly done this. Not all company's are the same, phoned Jet 2 and got through straight away. Replacement holiday booked in 10 minutes. One last point, you say "contact them". Please tell me and other 1000's of people HOW???.
