False Advertising

Booked a package ski holiday in Alpe d'Huez after spending €2900 on our 4 Tomorrowland Winter tickets. Later Nuco emailed me to inform me they didn't actually have the hotel they advertised and had nothing available in the area. I'm now having to pay an extra €2000 now to find something a 20 min drive away. Avoid Nuco if you can.

Hi Joey G, we are really disappointed that we had to inform you that the accommodation you booked on Saturday wasn't available.

We informed you of this and were able to provide an alternative option, in Alpe d'Huez, on Sunday, within 24 hours of you making the booking. We appreciate this was a lower standard of accommodation than originally booked and as such you decided to proceed with cancelling. Your full refund was processed the same day so this should have credited your original payment card.

With the Tomorrowland Festival taking place in Alpe d'Huez for that week, which we are not affiliated with, we do not have any accommodation available and unfortunately, there was an error on our part which did show this one apartment as available. This was not something intentional to false advertise but an error that we updated and contacted you as soon as we possible could to rectify, within 24 hours.

We are very sorry this happened and would like to assure you that we are dedicated to ensuring we are fair and honest in everything we do, and we will be looking further into how this error occurred to ensure this doesn't happen again.
If there is anything further you would like to discuss with our team, please email holidays@nucotravel.com and we'll be happy help.

We recently booked a ski holiday for a group of 14 through NUCO, and Laura was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Organising such a big group could have been stressful, but she made the whole process smooth and straightforward. She was always quick to respond, super helpful with all our questions, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted perfectly.

Thanks to Laura’s support, we could just look forward to the trip without any hassle. Couldn’t recommend her enough – if you’re planning a group ski holiday, you’ll be in great hands with her!

Great Price, Great Communication, Great Service

Laura was absolutely fantastic in helping organise our ski trip! From the very first message she made everything easy – the booking process was smooth, communication was quick and clear, and she was always happy to answer questions. She found us a great deal at a really good price and took away all the stress of planning. Couldn’t have asked for better service – super helpful and friendly throughout. We can’t wait for the trip now, thanks to her! Highly recommend.

Our experience with NUCO was marked by…

Our experience with NUCO was marked by poor communication, inconsistent information, and a lack of accountability.

Multiple representatives caused confusion during booking, and key questions—like transport options—were met with conflicting answers. This led to financial losses for some students.

Paid extras, such as early slope access, were not honoured, and no compensation was offered.

After the trip, we were charged £200 for pre-existing damage. Despite clear evidence, NUCO refused to challenge the claim, offering no support or advocacy. Their response was passive and unprofessional.

Frustrating from start to finish

Our experience with NUCO was frustrating from start to finish.

Communication was poor throughout. Our group had three different representatives over the course of the booking, which created confusion and delays at key moments, like when tickets went on sale. NUCO simply didn’t respond when it mattered most.

There was also a great deal of confusion about whether NUCO would arrange a bus to depart from our university. At first, it seemed possible, then they changed their answer multiple times. In the end, many students were left uncertain, and several people didn’t complete their bookings after already paying a non-refundable deposit. It was a disorganised and unclear process that cost people a lot of money.

Some members of our group paid extra for extra options like early access to the slopes. These students were not earlier on the slopes than anyone else, and no refund was given.

The most serious issue came after the trip, when we were charged £200 for alleged damage to a cupboard hinge. The door fell off the first time we touched it. The wood was already split and the screws were falling out. It was clearly pre-existing damage, but NUCO refused to dispute the charge because we didn’t have timestamped photos. Realistically, no one photographs minor fittings on arrival, and the condition of the door made it obvious the damage wasn’t new.
Yes, they now say we should have reported it, but what’s worse is how little they did to support us. NUCO didn’t check whether the charge was fair, didn’t advocate for us, and didn’t challenge the accommodation provider in any meaningful way. They chose the accommodation provider, but when something went wrong, they simply passed the charge along without question: acting more like a middleman (for scams) than a company representing students.

Laura was great at finding the right holiday for me and my family at a good price. I kept making changes to my needs and she kept suggesting alternatives until I finally made a decision! She also helped with information about the resort.
