unhelpful unless you pay a lot mor
Booked a multi city trip to Canada, when checking flights with the airline they hadn't booked hold luggage. For the length of the trip and the itinerary it would have been pretty obvious that hold luggage would be required.
One of the internal flights the time was changed, when we asked if if was possible to get an earlier flight they point blankly refused to assist unless we paid a rather large amount to change.
No I wouldn't use again and no I wouldn't recommend!
EDITED
Thanks for the response BUT it's BS
My partner contacted our travel agent and got mugged off so she then contacted you directly. The person on the phone wasn't interested said they would speak to their manager basically mugging her off as well. Spent over £10k with you, you've got the money and don't care!
2nd edit
Tried calling you to speak to who ever deals with these reviews so you could advise and look into this
Mugged off again

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, especially with the luggage and the difficulty you faced when trying to adjust your internal flight. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide.
Hold luggage should absolutely be discussed clearly at the time of booking and would have been with your travel agent, particularly for a multi‑city itinerary like yours, and I understand how frustrating it must have been to discover it wasn’t included. The situation with the schedule change and moving to an earlier flight also falls short of what you should expect.
If you’d like us to look into your booking in more detail, we’d be happy to help, please contact your travel agent and ask them to send the details for us to review.
Many Thanks
Gold Medal Team
We are sorry that it has come to this type of feedback

Once in a life time holiday nightmare
We booked what was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday to Florida through TUI, completely unaware that our contract was actually with Gold Medal Travel. It wasn’t made clear to us at the time of booking, which in hindsight feels very misleading.
When we got home and started looking into Gold Medal, we were genuinely shocked by the number of negative reviews. It immediately made us feel uncomfortable about proceeding with a holiday we were about to spend thousands of pounds on. Trusting that instinct, we decided not to go ahead.
Unfortunately, that’s where the experience became even more disappointing. Despite our concerns, Gold Medal refused to return our deposit, offer even a partial refund, or show any flexibility whatsoever. There was no understanding or goodwill—just a flat refusal.
For a company handling such significant, once-in-a-lifetime trips, the lack of transparency and customer care is really concerning. We feel completely let down.
My advice: do your research before booking and make absolutely sure you know who your contract is with. And if something doesn’t feel right, Please trust your gut.
We certainly won’t be booking with Gold Medal Travel again.

Dear Laura,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable proceeding with your booking and that the experience did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify a few important points for context. Gold Medal is a long‑established travel company and a key third‑party supplier to TUI, with whom we have worked successfully for many years. This supplier relationship and the contractual details are outlined at the time of booking
We appreciate that you reviewed feedback after booking; however, we believe it is also important to consider the wider picture. Our Trustpilot score of 4.4 is officially classed as “Excellent”, based on feedback from over 190,000 customers who have travelled with us. In the last 12 months, there have been 12 one‑star reviews, which represents a very small percentage of our total bookings. Additionally, our Net Promoter Score of 75.6 reflects exceptionally high customer satisfaction, and we were recently awarded UK & Ireland Travel Company of the Year at the Travel Industry Awards.
Regarding your cancellation, the decision was made based on personal concerns rather than any failure or issue with the holiday arrangements themselves. As such, the cancellation did not fall within the criteria for a refund or amendment outside of the agreed Terms & Conditions, which are provided clearly at the point of booking and must be applied fairly and consistently to all customers. While we understand that this was disappointing, we were unable to offer flexibility that was not supported by those terms.
We do take all feedback seriously and regret that this experience has affected your confidence in booking with us.
Kind regards,
Gold Medal Travel
Incredible service from Samantha at Pure Luxury
Over the past week I have booked two different incredible holidays for two different clients with the help from the amazing Samantha in Pure Luxury.

Unreliable trade partners, trade contact channels do not work.
One star is generous.
Bespoke holiday booked, this included a private transfer from Foc do Iguacu airport in Brazil to our hotel on the Argentinian side on the 5th of January.
The driver from Gold Medals trusted trade partner, Blumar, was not waiting for us. There was another driver there from Blumar and when I asked if he could ring the local office to find out where our driver was he refused.
It is a small airport, and there isn’t a string of taxis waiting, and we felt very isolated, let down and vulnerable.
Since then, although we have received a refund, after a month, some 3months after the event we are still waiting for an explanation.
Gold Medal hide behind, we are using our trade contact channels, but when they don’t work, what then?
It seems to me that once they have your money they don’t really care.
Update
There were certain points unclear from Blumars terms of service before we left (see my review 29.12.25) which despite Gold Medals assurances that they were going via their trade contact channels did not get resolved.
There is also a refund from KLM due to me which KLM advise was paid 11/12 Feb which Gold Medals assurances did claim not to be able to trace the payment and are pursuing matters through their trade contact channels, remains outstanding.
It seems to me Gold Medal Travel are content to hide behind their trade contact channels, without putting in the effort to actually resolve matters for their customers.

David,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry for the distress caused during your transfer in Foz do Iguaçu and for the delays you’ve faced in receiving clear updates. This is far from the level of service we aim to provide.
While we’re pleased the transfer refund has now been issued, we understand your frustration regarding the lack of timely communication and the outstanding KLM refund. Please be assured we are continuing to work with our partners to resolve this as quickly as possible, and we regret that this process has taken longer than it should.
Your feedback is important, and we’re reviewing this internally to ensure better support and clearer communication for our customers in the future.
This was passed over after your last trust Pilot review, and after receiving an update from your agent on the 17th March
Please be advised we are unable to speak with you direct and can only communicate through your travel agent.
We always remain committed to getting the best resolution.
Kindest Regards
Gold Medal Team
Give these a miss…
I’m travelling to Thailand in a few weeks with this company. I’ve found them unhelpful and lacking in knowledge. Additionally I am incredibly unhappy with the transfers they’ve provided - they’ve not been open and honest. I wouldn’t use them again and I wouldn’t recommend them!

AVOID and take note of the one star…
AVOID and take note of the one star reviews! We used third party via our travel agent to book a villa and 2 week stay in Orlando. The villa was dreadful given we had paid extra for something nice - broken furniture, pool was dirty and broken tiles around pool area. Worst part was we were surrounded by airb&b properties who, when I say made a racket, I’m not kidding. These airb&b were rented out to groups of men and large party groups. We mentioned to the onsite club house and they said not to complain as it would be clear it was us who complained and some people who rent them are from the ghetto!!! We weren’t communicated to re our villa to go to on arrival so spent an hour on phone to Tropical Escapes emergency number as they had closed by then. We complained when we got back to try and understand how they found it acceptable to allow customers to holiday in these villas and got a poor “you’re not getting compensation and it’s your fault” response. It wasn’t about compensation but she wasn’t interested. Would never use them again and their 2 star rating on reviews when you google them is more apt!
