GoSingles Reviews 197

The Olympos Hotel is a small 24 roomed hotel with lovely swimming pool, lounge, restaurant and bar area all set in a beautiful garden.
My room was lovely and clean and a comfortable double bed with an en-suite shower room.
The food was wonderful and beautifully presented.
The staff are all very friendly and really made it feel like home in the Sunshine.
Jayne the rep is a local resident and able to give first hand experience of how things work in Turkey, which was very helpful and reassuring with it being my first visit to Turkey.
I can’t thank the staff enough for making this holiday one of the best experiences I have ever had.
I look forward to re- booking another trip and would certainly recommend a stay there.

Lovely hotel. The staff and Jane the Go Singles Rep made the holiday really special. We will book again.

Hi
I was really looking forward to this holiday to Paphos, unfortunately it didn’t work out.
When I first booked I was told that around 6 would be the minimum in the group. It turned out to be myself and two others . Although very nice people we had absolutely nothing in common
They smoked, I detest smoking. I drink and want some fun . They were teetotal and were in bed by 9pm
It would have been better if I had gone away on my own . The hotel was adequate but remote so I didn’t have anywhere to explore safely alone . They placed us in rooms as far away as they could from reception/bar/ restaurant area . The food was basic and boring
The pool and beach areas were very good
All in all , I started the holiday upbeat and left feeling depressed and ripped off
I have tried many singles holidays and this is the worst regarding enjoyment and value for money
Never again

Just got back from an amazing trip to Malta with a great bunch of 50+ solo travellers! We stayed at the Solana Hotel – comfy, friendly, and in a perfect spot. Everything was easy and well planned, with plenty of laughs, sightseeing, and chill time. Such a fun and relaxed holiday!

Had an amazing solo holiday in Crete with GoSingles! Stayed at the Anais Hotel – super friendly, great food, and a lovely relaxed vibe. The rep was brilliant and made everyone feel welcome. Met loads of other solo travellers and had such a laugh. Already thinking about booking the next one!

Overall I enjoyed the GoSingles holiday however the descriptions were misleading for the time of my visit. The promised vistas of the mountains in Nepal were clouded in smog and dust which persisted until the last day of the holiday when it had rained and finally the mountains started to appear. The journey to Pokara was extremely bumpy as the road is being rebuilt and took all day each way so in effect we lost two days of our holiday. This could have been acceptable had we been able to see the landscape.
Bhutan exceeded my expectations from my arrival at a beautiful airport followed by an unexpected short visit to a festival on the way to Thimpu.
Both of the guides we had were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful as were the drivers. Thank you to Deepak and Dorjo or Gyeltshan as we later found out was his given name. They were both exceptional and made the holiday extremely interesting despite smog, dust and cloud. Along with their drivers they deserved their rest at the end of long days.
All the hotels were welcoming but only the ones at Thimpu and Pokara were easy to walk out of and shop locally after the days’ touring. I was expecting and hoping for local dishes but the dinners were largely tepid, if not cold, uninspiring buffets. The lunches in Bhutan were the same. The breakfast offerings were much better. I found the food totally underwhelming and a disappointment, however the food in the cafes Deepak took us to in Nepal gave me a better taste. I did hear a comment that ‘Europeans and Americans don’t like spicy’. Also the hotels used seemed all to be set up for conferences and maybe smaller hotels would have been better to get a most realistic taste of Nepal and Bhutan. I don’t know if that would be possible but the only thing I can say is that I didn’t put on any weight!
And finally the notes for the last day were not complete in that there was nothing mentioned about how we were to get from the airport into Kathmandu, where we were to store our luggage for the day or how we should freshen up for our long journey home. Evidently from the phone call from GoSingles a week after returning home I was told that the information for this was to be left to the guide. In the event we as a group contracted the Nepal guide, Deepak, to arrange a day of sightseeing and a hotel near to the airport where we could freshen up and get ready for the flights home at additional expense to ourselves.

Fabulous Maldives sailing holiday with Go Singles. Have already discussed some booking/website issues with the office, including
- Payment on site - Already implemented since I booked apparently
- Package info on site
- Group booking info
- Booking/Check In communication

Otherwise, the holiday was great ! Snorkelled with nurse sharks, stingrays, manta rays, assorted fish and creatures, soaked up all the beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters !🌞🐠👙🪸🦈🛳️🏊🏻‍♀️🐡🏖️🐬🤿🐙🩴😎

The original holiday I booked was cancelled short notice, so both destination and dates had to be changed.
The refund for the excursions which I couldn't now go on took 16 working days to come through - litterally the day before I was flying out to the new holiday.
The staff on the phones and emails had attitudes and were unhelpful - the answer to any problem being to cancel the holiday for a refund and book it myself.
They changed the hotel after we had booked, to a cheaper hotel further from the beach and under the flight path for the take-offs from the airport - while a search of the 2 hotels websites confirmed that the new hotel was considerably cheaper, I was told no partial refund would be given, but I could cancel for a full refund and book it myself. Although seeing how long that refund would take I wouldn't get it until after the holiday had finished so I couldn't afford to do this.
The taxi to the airport didn't show up, we called the rep who said to wait a little longer, then turned off her phone so we couldn't contact her again. Ended up having to pay for a private taxi - and go singles said they wouldn't refund us because there was a paid one on its way (after 40minutes waiting it just seemed safer to pay out and get to the airport).
The company lied about what amenities were available at the new hotel, the numbers/sexes/ages of people who would be on the trip.
I would never use them again and will tell everyone I know not to either.

My first singles trip and it didn’t disappoint. Great to travel in a small group of 3. Excellent guides and drivers. Highly recommend Go Singles.

The boat, crew and food were first class. Although the weather was terrible we were still able to get to most of our destinations by coach. The team leader was extremely pleasant and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend Go Singles and Croisi Europe

It wasn’t really a cruise because we spent most of the time the time docked and just went up and down the river a little bit on one day. Part of the floor of my cabin was wet the whole time. The chef did his best to prepare lovely meals, but the entertainment was absolutely dire.

My experience with this so called river cruise was very disappointing. I feel Croisieurope should have used the weather forecast which resulted in only one day's cruise to nowhere and back.
My reason for late booking was sailing though the Bay of Cadiz but apparently the water was too rough despite the fact that this ship Belle de Cadix was able to go to sea. We did all our excursions by coach.

If you're a solo traveller looking for a memorable and well-organised experience, I highly recommend GoSingles. Their Rhône River Cruise was a fantastic way to explore France while meeting like-minded people. The cruise takes you through beautiful cities like Lyon, Avignon, and Arles, with well-curated excursions and stunning scenery. What really stood out to me was the warm, sociable atmosphere onboard, which made it easy to connect with others. The food was excellent, the accommodations were comfortable, and everything was well thought out. If you want a hassle-free, enjoyable solo adventure, GoSingles is definitely the way to go.

What a fantastic trip on the Yasawa Princess last week in the Maldives. I was a bit concerned to be the only person with Go Singles that week but the boat was full with other guests and the whole experience was amazing. The staff work so hard and cannot fault a thing. Only regret is I didn’t go for 2 weeks.

My break with go singles was lovely to say the least but all i wanted was a holiday to celebrate a number of things that i had acomplished in that year, the arrival in malta was delayed, then was shown to a private car when everyone else presumably were in a coach so they would have known about the "go singles"group?
so i only went off a number incase of emergencies.
knowing not one passenger and shy as flown alone
the overwhelmingness. was slow but after the exciting excursions which filled the time i was not left alone much. there was a Meet and greet sess going on in the week of Christmas and new year but as it wasn't made clear on the app i did not attend.post was there when got back! the excursion to velletta later on in the week was boring outdated and as was.
think my rate applauds this, as is,it is scary going though flights and soloing but if your thirst for adventure or just relaxing i recommend to GO

This is an honest review, and I wish I had read previous reviews before I booked with Gosingles.
To clarify I did go over the Christmas period, but that should not make a difference as it was advertised as a Christmas/Festive break.
The transfer from the airport to the hotel was the first issue as I had to make a telephone call to find out where they were as I could not locate anyone with a GoSingles board. I did finally locate the driver and two other members of the party, who also had trouble locating the driver.
The hotel was fine, the room was clean and what I was expecting. The age demographic of the guests was more to the elder side, but thats to be expected.
No sign of any representative from GoSingles were present or when they would be around.
There was meant to be five in our group, but we never did see any sign of the other two members, but seeing as there wasn't a welcoming meeting we would not have had a clue who they were.
I messaged, via the app, my disappointment of the lack of anyone from GoSingles being present. That afternoon when I went back to my room, there was a letter on the floor which said that the rep was surprised that no one was around at 14.30 for a meet and greet, and we should all go to reception to find out about a table that they had arranged for us all to eat at.
I did this and reception had no idea what I was on about.
All of this aside, I did enjoy my stay in Malta but this had nothing to do with GoSingles. Their input went as far as taking the money and booking a hotel and flights, which I could easily have done myself and saved some money.
Again, this is my honest review and experience of using GoSingles. I won't be using them again

Go Singles was rather a disappointing experience.
The first warning sign of poor service was when I arrived at Gatwick and noticed that Easy Jet provided a two tier cabin bag policy. (I had never flown with Easy Jet before).
Go Singles web booking procedure did not give me the option to select large cabin bag.
The only option they provided was one small soft bag free, resulting in me having to choose the only other option provided by Go Singles of an exorbitant fee for 20 kg hold luggage just for my 9.2 kg bag. (No option to choose less than 20 kg)
My bag would have been within the large cabin bag range and cost a minimum of £5.99.

While I am full of praise for Hotel Santana, the meals, the facilities and its staff (who were all friendly and efficient) the Go Singles part of the holiday was below par for the cost.
I met with two fellow Go Singles after landing in Malta when we met the transfer driver, and it appeared to all of us that we were just a party of three. We were not informed otherwise until near the end of the week, in a rather curt note pushed under each of our room doors.
This note was from the Go Singles representative who had come to the hotel that afternoon. In his note he seemed to be a little annoyed that we were not in attendance for his visit.
Had we been previously advised of his intended visit then I am sure we would have tried to accommodate him.
Inside the welcome envelope, received at check in, a letter stated that the representative would visit on the date and time stated on the front of the envelope. However the envelope gave only our arrival and departure times.
Their representative’s note also advised of his arrangement for the hotel to provide a reserved table for our party (of apparently five). Again this had not been previously informed to us until near the end of the week. By this time we three had already been meeting occasionally together at meal times. Because there was only one planned excursion we had spent our days on our individual explorations of what Malta had to offer which resulted in us sometimes returning back at the hotel at different times and therefore missing each other at meal times.
Which brings me to the single provided excursion.
Granted, that our holiday began over the Christmas period and I make small allowances that some excursions would not be available, however our one included excursion, to Valletta, was not until the very last full day of our stay, by which time, I for one, had visited Valletta three times (once even on Christmas Day) so there wasn’t much that I had missed in and around Valletta. Our excursion could have been made within the first couple of days which would have given the three of us the opportunity to meet with the other two of our party. We never did get to know who they were.
So all in all I echo what the other two of our trio have said about Go Singles in our meal time conversations, which was much on the lines of the foregoing comments.
Perhaps Go Singles will take these observations under consideration for future planning.

The Queen Hotel was a lovely place, a bit of a walk into the city. Went into the centre a couple of evenings. It had stated entertainment on 2 nights. Christmas night was just a lady singing during the simple buffet and stopped at 8.30. Couldn't call it evening entertainment. Boxing night was great, proper entertainment and we were all up dancing. Food ok but only cheesecake for desert each day

No planned entertainment - It would have made a lot of difference if there was organised entertainment by Go Singles.

Also, the mattress in the hotel was sinking in the middle with some hard lumps also, making it very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed with the holiday.

I had a wonderful time over the Christmas break in Chester. I met some lovely people, enjoyed the delicious menu and dancing and found Chester a great place to visit with all its history. I would encourage anyone travelling solo to give it a try, and there is no single supplement to pay.
