Harriet Morphy-Morris claims the location of the hotel was 'so far' from their surprise destination
A couple, who bought a £99 Wowcher mystery holiday, abandoned their allocated hotel just one hour after checking in.
Upon booking the holiday, travellers can enter their desired holiday dates, number of travellers and UK departure airport. Harriet said: "I put in three different weekend options as well as possible flights from Manchester Airport, which we didn't end up flying from. Harriet says the phone call came from an unknown number and asked her for personal details ahead of the trip. She said this felt "a bit strange" but was "reassured countless times it was normal". Following the call, Harriet said she received her and her partner's boarding passes from Ryanair along with details of the hotel.
"The upgraded flights left on a Thursday at 8am and landed back in Stansted at 5pm on Saturday giving us much more time and taking our spending so far to £129 each, but it didn't stop there. During our call, the adviser repeatedly said 'are you sure you don't want to upgrade the hotel package as it's a little far out' and as I wanted to stick as close to the £99 price as possible I declined and wish I hadn't.
"It wasn't, as we were visiting Lake Garda during the 'off-season' there were no bus routes to Affi or train routes on the line we had travelled down from Milan from. Our nearest biggest Lake Garda side town was Pescheira - from here we were quoted €40 to €45 each way in a taxi to and from our hotel.
"Of course, the Wowcher trip can be as budget-friendly or 'high-end' as you want it to be. We were on a mission to stick to its £99 motto as much as possible...Harriet's costs: £99 Wowcher, £30 flight upgrade, £30 petrol to Stansted Airport, £15 train ticket, £20 taxi to Bergamo station, £40 taxi to the first hotel.
