Your Holiday Claims has recently received an enquiry relating to the Viva Sharm Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
There have been many reports online relating to issues with the facilities on offer at the hotel and the food and hygiene standards displayed.
A couple who travelled to the hotel to celebrate their engagement have contacted Your Holiday Claims after contracting scabies during their stay. They found the conditions at the hotel to be way below par and have also incurred heavy costs contacting their holiday sales team during their stay.
The couple have also described the food on offer at the Viva Sharm Hotel as being âinedibleâ and many others have reported similar issues on the website TripAdvisor.
The quality of the rooms in particular has been called into question, with one British holidaymaker stating that âThe room was cleaned about four times in our 15 night stay and we had to ask nearly every day for towels and toilet paperâ.
There have been many others who have found issues with the rooms, with commenter saying, âOnce the room was ready it was very dirty, shabby, the bed linen was grey and there was a blood stain on the pillow caseâ.
The food on offer at the hotel has also been called into question with one holidaymaker stating, âThe food was very predictable. It did appear that what didnt get eaten on the lunch got used again for the dinner. In the end we ended up going to the mirage bar across the road for foodâ.
Anne Thomson, Head of Travel Law at Your Holiday Claims, stated, âWe are incredibly concerned by the reports of scabies at the Viva Sharm Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
âScabies can be spread by skin to skin contact but can also be passed through contact with towels and bedding which have been used by a person who is infected. This means that it is of utmost importance that all cleaning processes are strictly adhered to at all hotels and resorts.
âIn this case, we have received an enquiry where the guests clearly feel that they have been let down by their hotel. We would encourage anyone who has been affected by illness in Egypt at the Viva Sharm Hotel to contact Your Holiday Claims as soon as possible, to discover whether they have a right to make a claim for compensationâ.
