Butlins skeggy absolutely filthy

We've been countless times to butlins Skegness and never had any issues with accommodation cleanliness. It sounds as though this was a huge mistake by one cleaner. They've moved your room and offered the Hobart's as a sorry. What else would you like them to do?

I wonder if at Skegness Butlins are struggling to get staff. Though in those circumstances if the case they should offer less bookings and leave some parts empty.

I wouldn’t expect the ritz. We went to Butlin’s and often had a wet floor and condensation but not that level of filth. I’d ask for a refund and go home

Problem is top of the range at Skegness is similar to bottom of the range at Minehead and Bognor. The only accomodation at Skeggy which looks OK is the new Deluxe lodges. The hotels at Bognor and Westlakes chalets at Minehead are lovely, wouldn't stay anywhere else, bit this is mainly due to them being noisy. Nowhere should have poo or blood on the walks, that's disgusting, and the offer of a free go on go carts is an insult. Make a full complaint when you get home. We had similar but not as bad, and they pretty much gave us a free holiday (we'll, we paid £120 for a holiday which should have cost over a thousand)

We were at Butlins Skegness in Feb and the accommodation was clean and good condition so I think you've just been unlucky.

If you haven't got them already ask for VIP passes as compensation, that will let you cut the queues for entertainment events and go in before everyone else. We found it really useful.

Butlins is actually getting too expensive for this level of dirt! I’ve been to Minehead a few times, and we paid for a better apartment like yours and it’s not cheap!! Ours were really clean.

That fucking disgusting!! We stayed at butlins bognor regis in 2012 it was the cheapest chalet and really old.. but clean. The food was nice too

Good god it’s awful, we went last year for a hen doo and the accommodation was appalling. One of the girls went home as she couldn’t stand it. It was my SIL’s bash otherwise id of been right behind her We have been to Haven lots of times, its streets ahead of Butlins.

I really hope you can make the best of your break!

I am afraid I know it sounds me and snobby. And yet- this is the first thing that came to mind.

Butlins is disgusting we had a disaster back two years ago booked minehead literally same as you turned around and went home kicked off had a refund never ever will we book to go to any of the Butlins dirty disgusting shit holes I'm always gob smacked when people say they love the place either they have low cleaning standards or just are lucky enough to have a semi clean place to put up with staying there.

But I've heard more bad than good when it comes to Butlins.

Ive done the adult weekends there, great fun but there is no way I'd take my kids. No amount of cleaning could make what I've witnessed there go away!

I went to Bognor during Covid when we couldn’t go abroad. Stayed in a fairground apartment. Id heard awful things so wasn’t expecting much, but I was surprised we had a great time, lovely people, clean and very nice room, did the dine around plan and food was pretty good.

Went to Skegness after Covid and hated it. Filthy, rats running around outside rooms, heaving, food awful.. left early, would never go back! Absolutely complain about the room even though they’ve changed it.

I mean, it wasn’t my original comment but whatever, I literally can’t think of anything worse!

I'm glad you've been moved. We just got back from Bognor Regis Butlins and we had a similar issue. Our accommodation was so dirty and in a state of disrepair. We didn't complain as we would have had massive difficulty moving due to disabilities in the family. It was meant to be one of their best apartments too. We've been several times (last time pre covid) and it was truly awful this time.

I hope you manage to enjoy your break op.

Completely agree. It doesn't matter about the reputation of the resort, or whether people would or would not personally want to have a holiday there.

This is a large company, selling thousands of holidays a year. They should at the very minimum be providing clean and basic accommodation. What OP describes is unacceptable.

We have been every year for the last 10 years and never experienced anything like that.

We stayed in the Seaside apartments and they were the same, although I didn’t spot any poo! Dread to think what the cheaper options are like!

That’s so crap OP.

Wherever you go, you have the right to expect a clean space to stay in! Butlins isn’t cheap….it’s hardly hostel prices!

I hope things improve and you and your family have a great break.

Silly comment. Marcy D’s is cheap as well but if you found poo or mould in your burger you’d have every right to be upset! No different at butlins

Off topic but, love your user name! Skeeviest club in Tokyo

All Butlins are like this.....dirty,rundown, shabby

Even the 'upgraded' parts of the sites are below par
