German Tourist Wins Refund After Sun Lounger Struggle in Greece Family Awarded Compensation Over Poolside Sunbed Problem A German tourist has received compensation after struggling to find a sun lounger during a family holiday in Greece. The court ruled that the holiday experience failed to meet reasonable expectations because guests regularly reserved loungers with towels for long periods. The tourist travelled to the Greek island of Kos with his wife and two children in 2024. According to court reports, the family woke up at 6:00 AM every day to search for available loungers near the pool. Despite their early efforts, they still could not secure seats because many guests had already reserved them using towels. The man explained that he spent nearly 20 minutes each morning looking for empty loungers. In some cases, his children had to sit or lie on the ground because no poolside space remained available. The family paid more than €7,000 for the package holiday. After returning home, the tourist filed a complaint against the tour operator. He argued that the company failed to properly manage the hotel’s sunbed policy and did not stop guests from reserving loungers for hours without using them. At first, the travel company offered the family a partial refund of €350. However, a district court in Hanover later ruled that the compensation was too low. Judges decided the family deserved a larger refund of €986.70 because the holiday conditions were “defective.” The court also stated that although the tour operator did not directly manage the hotel, it still had a responsibility to ensure guests had fair access to basic facilities such as poolside loungers. The issue of “sunbed wars” has become increasingly common at popular tourist resorts across Europe. Many holidaymakers reserve loungers early in the morning by placing towels on them before leaving for hours. Last year, several viral videos from Tenerife showed tourists rushing to claim poolside spots at sunrise. Some visitors were even seen sleeping beside pools to secure better locations. Travel companies and resorts are now trying different ways to solve the problem. Some hotels have introduced time restrictions on towel reservations, while others remove unattended belongings after a certain period. Meanwhile, some regions in Spain have warned tourists that they could face fines of up to €250 for reserving sun loungers and leaving them unused for long periods. Why Sun Lounger Disputes Are Increasing Tourism experts say overcrowded resorts and limited poolside seating continue to create frustration among travellers during peak holiday seasons. Families often expect relaxing pool access as part of their vacation package, especially when paying premium prices for resort stays. As more travellers share complaints online, hotels and tour operators may face increasing pressure to improve resort management and enforce fair sunbed rules.
