Urgent medical care comes before complaint paperwork.
If symptoms are severe or ongoing — including severe dehydration, blood in stool, persistent high fever, severe pain, breathing difficulty, confusion, fainting or serious weakness — use current NHS or local medical services. This builder does not diagnose or replace medical care.
Medical safety comes first
This builder does not diagnose illness or replace medical care. For severe, concerning or ongoing symptoms use current NHS or local medical services.
Why timing and medical evidence matter
Symptoms are not a diagnosis
Record what happened and the source of any diagnosis. A laboratory result may record an organism but does not automatically identify where it was acquired.
Timing is not causation
Record meals, water and environmental exposures accurately, including outside the hotel. Becoming ill after an event does not by itself prove the source.
Personal observations
Record what you personally saw, such as food appearing lukewarm or a pool appearing cloudy, without converting it into a safety or contamination finding.
Package versus direct booking
A package organiser, direct hotel, platform or cruise can involve different complaint routes. The builder records the structure without automatically deciding liability.
Other guests
Companion and online reports can be relevant context, but are not automatically proof of a verified outbreak.
Costs and holiday impact
Keep receipts, medical records, missed-activity evidence and wage documents. The pack does not value personal injury or calculate compensation.

Common questions
Do I need a confirmed diagnosis?
No. Record symptoms and treatment accurately. If there is a documented diagnosis or laboratory result, identify its source.
Do hotel observations prove what caused illness?
No. Preserve personal observations as facts without turning them into medical or hygiene findings.
Can this pack calculate compensation?
No. It records documented costs and consumer-reported impact without valuing a personal injury claim.
What if other guests were ill?
Record the source as third-party context. It does not automatically prove an outbreak or common cause.
Does the builder send my information?
No. Ordinary DIY use remains in your browser unless you choose to download, copy or print.
