The furious mother, from Cardiff, claimed they were promised ''a five-star resort'' where they'd stay for ''seven nights'' - but the ordeal soon turned into ''a long list of problems''.
After landing in Rhodes and checking into the resort, the mum discovered the accommodation was ''a three-star resort''.
''But because they have a water park, they're able to bump it up to a four-star.
''In my opinion, it's not even a three-star,'' she said in the TikTok video, showing viewers the conditions of the resort.
The outraged mother also added that while the pool area ''looked stunning'', upon further inspection, she discovered everything was ''taped together''.
After complaining to the staff, the family was then moved to a different part of the resort - however, the new room also ''wasn't up'' to her standards.
''I was under the impression that I was booking a five-star resort,'' she said, vowing to ''do research and read the reviews'' next time.
Unfortunately for the holiday-goers, it ''then went from bad to worse'', as they here hit by ''a massive storm''.
''We got absolutely soaked walking back and forth from the one hotel to the other. At this point, I was just wanted to cry,'' the TikToker lamented.
To their absolute horror, the area was covered by mega puddles - with the hubby having to carry the mother across, as ''there was no way'' she'd walk through the rain water in her ''90p flip flops from Primark''.
Most popular treats for Brits on holiday
Although the following day the weather had improved, the mother was less than impressed with the food - which she dubbed ''absolutely disgusting''.
Sharing her woes online, the holiday-goer also showed viewers her plate of lasagna, salad, coleslaw and couscous.
After desperately wanting to ''leave the hotel'', the family ventured out and visited the ''stunning'' Old Town.
She said: ''Everyone kept telling to try and cheer up and just deal with it - that's exactly what I did for my children, I wanted them to have the best holiday ever.''
But their troubles didn't end there - as an hour after going to bed, they were woken up by ''a massive earthquake''.
In the end, the mother decided that she had had ''enough'' and took the family back home.
She went on in the caption: ''I know I'm lucky to have a holiday and some people aren't in a position to even go away for the weekend but when you've requested specific standards and you turn up to a lot less, it's very frustrating!''
Cheap holiday essentials
IF you're jetting abroad this summer, here are the cheap holiday essentials you won't want to miss.
PACKING CUBES: They're loved by mum-of-22 Sue Radford and not only do they save space in your luggage, but they'll ensure that your case is super neat and tidy.
TAG TRACKER: There's nothing worse than loosing your luggage, but thanks to this handy £15 buy from B&M, you won't have to worry about that on your next trip.
KIDS' CABIN BAG: Don't worry if you can't afford to splash the cash on a Trunki, as Aldi are selling an alternative dupe buy for just £29.99 - and it's great for children.
HAND LUGGAGE CASE: For those that are opting to go hand luggage instead of paying a fortune for a check-in bag, Morrisons are selling extra small cases, that are perfect for taking on a flight, for only £7.99.
Although TUI ''are currently dealing with the situation'', the furious TikToker - who claimed to have forked out £5k for the trip - said she didn't ''have much faith at all''.
''As for me being dramatic over the earthquake - yes, I do overreact, I overthink and I panic and when my children are involved I act fast and I just up and left, maybe if I hadn't of had the worst holiday ever to begin with I'd feel more comfortable saying after I'd calmed down!''
'Drama queen'
Since being posted online, the holiday video has taken the internet by storm, amassing close to 370k views in just one day.
But while the mother was certainly far from impressed with the getaway, people online thought she was overreacting, as they branded her a ''drama queen''.
One said: ''Drama queen. you cut your kids holiday short,take out board games,enjoy your time with the children!''
Another chimed in: ''Complaining about the weather and earthquake like it's TUI or the Hotels fault.''
A third joked: ''Did TUI make it rain?''
Someone else said: ''I don't think I've ever booked a holiday without extensively checking review sites. Is that not just standard practice?''
However, there were also plenty of those who agreed with the mum-of-two, with one writing: ''it looks awful....that sounds like a holiday from hell. nice that your husband carried you over the puddle lol.''
''This is such a shame when you spend your hard earned money trying to make the best memories for your family! glad you're home safe!'' commented another.
