A PAIR of friends has shared how their "great holiday" to Kos was such a nightmare, they ended up booking the first flight home.
TikToker Grace Webster has accused travel agent Hays Travel of "lying" after travelling to the Greek island earlier this month.
Sharing their experience in a video on TikTok, Gracie explains that she and her friend decided to fly to Kos after it was suggested by the travel agent.
In a clip captioned "You have to laugh or you’ll cry," she said: "Your travel agent sends you to Kos in April saying it will be great this time of year and great holiday for two 20 year olds."
The TikToker then shared a series of snaps showing the cloudy island and the problems she had with the establishment.
The woman said the hotel was not what the pair expected as there was a "pool with no water," the "door won't shut" and "construction started on hotel" while they were there.

Gracie also complained about the breakfast and the room's view, "which was meant to be sea view," before adding that "everything closed and men staring and catcalling."
The two friends had such a bad time on their first day that decided to fly back to the UK.
The duo were so desperate to come back home, they booked the first available flight which was to Gatwick, instead of Manchester where they originally flew from.
The Tiktoker shared a photo of her friend while boarding and said : "Finally on flight. Get me home."

TikTokers had a mixed response to the pair's video with some advising them to do their own research before travelling and others pointing out that it's way too early in the tourist season which is why the island was quiet.
One said: "There is absolutely no reason to be getting fooled by travel agents in 2023."
Someone agreed:"Be your own travel agent, I don't know anyone who doesn't sort their own hols from flight/ transfer/ accomodation and check reviews."
One added: "Thought it was common knowledge Greece season doesn’t start til end of may ish what kinda travel agent is that."
Another one said: "Kos is amazing I live here but May is when the season really starts. You should have looked into it before booking through travel agents."
A spokesperson for Hays Travel said: "This issue has already been resolved and the customer is satisfied with the outcome, therefore we have no further comment to make."
