What other travel sites don't tell you
"Wheelchair accessible" can mean anything. "Family friendly" doesn't mention heat. "Great facilities" doesn't tell you the toilets are 20 minutes apart. These are real stories.
Sandra, 58, Leeds
Destination: Lanzarote · Condition: Wheelchair user
Booked a 'wheelchair accessible' hotel. Arrived to find the pool had no hoist, the beach was 400m of soft sand, and the accessible room had a bath, not a shower.
GoTripAble rates Lanzarote 4.2 for wheelchair users, flags the soft-sand beach issue, and lists which resorts have beach wheelchairs. Sandra would have known to book Playa Blanca, not Puerto del Carmen.
GoTripAble score for this condition:
The barriers you can't see in a holiday photo
Most accessible travel advice stops at wheelchair ramps. But millions of ambulant disabled travellers and people living with chronic illness, chronic pain and hidden disabilities hit a different set of walls entirely — the ones no one warns you about until you are already there.
Nowhere to sit
Long promenades, museum wings and queues with zero benches. If you can walk but cannot stand for long, a 'beautiful stroll' becomes a pain marathon with no escape.
High stools & bar seating
Cafes and bars with only high stools or backless seats. Useless if you have joint pain, hypermobility or balance issues, and impossible to get down from safely.
Fixed picnic tables
Bolted-down benches you cannot slide a chair out from. If one person uses a wheelchair or cannot straddle a fixed bench, the whole group is stuck.
Low seats & deep sofas
Hotel lounges and restaurants with seats so low you cannot get back up without help. A hidden barrier for anyone with hip, knee or back problems.
No shade, no escape
Plazas and ruins with zero shade or seating. Heat-sensitive conditions like MS, POTS and EDS turn a 'must-see' site into a medical risk within 20 minutes.
Steps with no alternative
Not a wheelchair issue, a stamina and pain issue. Three steps with no handrail, no ramp, no rest point. Fine for most, a wall for ambulant disabled travellers.
Living with chronic illness or chronic pain? You already know about spoon theory and pacing. So do we. GoTripAble flags whether a destination lets you build in buffer days, rest points and low-energy options — so you do not burn through your spoons on day one and lose the rest of the holiday to a flare-up.
If you are planning accessible holidays in the UK or abroad and your needs are not just about wheelchair access, GoTripAble flags these hidden barriers alongside terrain, heat, toilets and stamina for every destination we rate.
Built for disabled travel, ambulant disabled travellers, wheelchair users, and people with chronic illness, chronic pain and hidden disabilities.

Built by someone who needed it
"I have a hip condition that means terrain and stamina matter enormously. I booked a 'relaxing' holiday in a hilly Italian village and spent most of it in pain in the hotel. I started GoTripAble because the information I needed simply didn't exist in one place, and I knew I wasn't the only one."
