Couple Awarded £4,600 After Bed Bug Infestation on Spanish Holiday

Julie and Stephen instructed Holiday Claims Bureau to pursue a bed bug claim after their summer holiday in Fuerteventura was ruined by a severe infestation. What was meant to be a relaxing anniversary getaway quickly turned into a distressing ordeal, from painful bites abroad to an infestation that followed them home.

We successfully secured £3,000 for Julie and £1,600 for Stephen, with expert legal representation provided by Oliver Linton.

Their experience gained national attention and was featured in the MailOnline, highlighting the lasting impact their experience had on their health, home environment, and special plans. Read the full MailOnline article here.

From a holiday abroad to a home infestation

The couple had booked an 11-night stay at the Origo Mare resort through Jet2 Holidays. On arrival, Julie noticed bed bugs crawling out of the headboard and visible staining on the bedding. Despite reporting the issue to the hotel staff and the tour rep, the situation was not resolved, and both Julie and Stephen continued to suffer painful bites across their arms, legs, and shoulders.

The ordeal didn’t end when the holiday did. After returning home, they discovered the infestation extended into their home, leading to further discomfort, stress, and the cost of pest control treatment.

Oliver Linton Responds

Commenting on the case, Oliver Linton, who handled their bed bug claim, said: “Julie and Stephen went on holiday expecting rest and peace of mind, instead, they were exposed to a completely preventable issue. We’re pleased to have helped them achieve the compensation they rightly deserved.”

Client’s reaction

Julie added “The whole experience was awful, it ruined our holiday and followed us home. I’m grateful for the support we received and the outcome Oliver has achieved for us both”
