Share your trip

Tell me about your family holiday

No account needed. Answer what you can, add your photos, and I will write it up and publish it under your name.

Would rather do it yourself? Write and publish it straight to the site instead. You keep full control of how the story reads, it goes up under your own byline, and you can edit it whenever you like. A good one can earn a do-follow link to your own site too.

Takes about ten minutes.

Your answers save in this browser as you type, so you can close the tab and come back.

The basics

Where did you go?*

Start typing and pick from the list.

Where did you stay?*

The hotel, hostel, campsite or apartment name. This is the bit people search for, so it matters more than it looks.

What was it like?*

The room or apartment, the pool, the facilities. Anything missing that would have made a difference?

When did you go?

Seasonality changes a trip more than anything else.

Who went?

A review is only useful when you know who took the trip. Two adults with a 3 and a 6 year old is a completely different holiday to two adults with teenagers.

Adults

Children

How long for?

The story

Write like you would to a friend who is thinking of going. No minimum length, and you can skip anything that does not apply.

What was the area like with kids?

Could you walk to things or did you need transport? Did it feel safe? Was there enough going on, or too quiet?

How did you fill the days?*

What did the kids genuinely love? What fell flat or wasn't worth the money? Anything worth booking before you go?

What was the best bit?

One thing that stands out. Somewhere you went, something you did, or just a moment on the trip you still talk about.

Where did you eat and drink?

Name places if you can. How easy was eating out with children? Was there food where you were staying?

What do you wish you'd known before you went?

Anything that caught you off guard. Transfers, kit you needed, things you'd do differently.

Roughly what did it cost, and where did you book through?

No need for exact figures. Just enough that someone can picture the budget. Anything a bargain or a rip-off?

Would you go back, and who would you recommend it to?*

A line or two is plenty.

Photos

Your own photos from the trip. They are what bring the story to life.

Cover photo

This is the one that appears at the top of your story and on every listing that links to it. A wide shot works better than a portrait one.

The rest of your photos

Up to 10 more. Drag them into the order you want them to appear.

About you

Name to publish under*

A first name on its own is completely fine.

Email*

So I can ask a follow-up question if I need one, and send you the link once your story is up. Nothing else.

A line about you

One sentence for your byline. Something like: Mum of two from Leeds, usually found somewhere with a pool.

Anywhere you would like me to link to?

Instagram, your own blog, anything like that. I will put it on your byline.

I took these photos, or I have permission to share them. I’m happy for TravelPen to publish this story under my name, and I’ve read the terms and privacy policy.
