Booked a much needed family holiday mid July for mid August, paid in full only to have it cancelled 2 days before by email. (Lucky I saw it.) Only explanation given was that they were double booked and our holiday would not be going ahead. No alternative offered just our money back within 3 - 5 days. (We did get the refund on the 5th day.) Kids devastated. Shocking service from a company that once had a good name. Not any more - you cannot trust them. Shocking and bordering on illegal surely?

Unscrupulous, immoral and profiteering from a pandemic. As others before me have left reviews, this delightful company has cancelled our holiday booked on 23/5 for September quoting the holiday provider withdrew the accommodation (which they vehemently deny in writing and have confirmed that our Lodge has been rebooked). As a care manager I have worked solidly since January and was desperately looking forward to a much needed break. Hoseasons are not prepared to find us alternate accommodation unless we pay a £1000 difference and it's too late to make alternative arrangements even if we could afford extortionate increases. Vacations Rentals (Hoseasons parent company) has already been reported to the CMA. They do not deserve your custom, they will let you down, they will lie and they will profit from your misery. Give them a wide berth and choose a reputable, independent holiday provider who understands hospitality and deserves your custom. Hoseasons you should be ashamed! Ps. Don't try to complain, they don't care, they won't answer and even their employees are disgusted by their actions

I booked and paid for a boating holiday with Hoseasons, I received an email a couple of weeks before the holiday advising they had cancelled it, no reason or apology. They cannot have lost a boat so presumably they have sold on the prepaid booking to another person. No refund yet. Beware, you may not get the holiday you booked

AVOID Hoseasons (also Cottages.com and other companies owned by AWAZE). Like many other people who have left reviews here we were not told that our holiday cottage was no longer available - I only found out when I phoned for key arrangements two days prior to departure. We did manage to transfer to an inferior property, but only after hanging on the line for over an hour and making them do it there and then. No apology either. We had another holiday booked with them for later in the year, so this time I rang the owner early - unbelievably this has also been withdrawn months ago. In these difficult times we totally understand that circumstances change, what is unforgiveable is that no one has let us know and they have taken the full payment whilst knowing the situation. We could quite easily have travelled hundreds of miles to the cottage only to find we had nowhere to stay. They are contacting people on a need-to-know basis, which seems to be just before travel so you have little or no chance to rearrange your plans, which I think is heartless. Totally inept at best. Now waiting for a full refund. BOOK WITH SOMEONE ELSE!

Booked a 4 night holiday with hoseasons for 7/09/20 Got email saying holiday cancelled due to Harts caravan park saying caravan not available contacted Harts they did not have our holiday booked with them, Found out Hoseasons were told by Hart that when we booked a while ago that the caravan was not available, instead of hoseasons informing us before we paid they decided to take the full payment before informing us, and now we have got to wait a minimum of 30 days before we get a refund, Taking our money knowing that the holiday will not go ahead is daylight robbery, this is the first and last time I book with hoseasons, they are doing this to loads of people, be aware don't book with them you will be disappointed

Like many others, our holiday was COVID cancelled. Whilst these crooks say that they have been providing customers with refund instructions in a logical order, we haven’t heard a peep (despite our booking being for the very first week of the lockdown in late March). Phone calls - not answered. Emails - ignored. Our money - in their bank. Outrageous, inexcusable and probably illegal. We will of course keep persisting, but the only thing I can be sure of is that I’ll never book with Hoseasons again. This could be their Gerald Ratner moment, remember him?

If I could have given 0 I would have. I have been trying for months to get a deposit refunded. I would advise anyone not to book through this company. Its like hitting your head against a brick wall.

We had a boat trip booked in May which was cancelled due to Covid19 which we understood, we re-booked for September and with merely weeks to go get an email to advise this is cancelled and upon investigation, the boat yard has confirmed that they have removed the boat we were booked on as they have taken the boat off the fleet and advised Hoseasons of the in June. We received this awful email on 18/8/2020 and had we been advise in June we could have made another booking immediately on another boat but now its too late and fully booked. This is terrible service from Hoseasons and the lack of customer support or acknowledgement. I will never use Hoseasons again and upon even more investigation, this is a regular practice of Hoseasons We have only now received/been refunded quarter the amount of the costs and reported this to ABTA

Added to my ongoing issues with Hoseasons and them cancelling my trip (not Covid19 related) but because the boat we were booked on was taken out of the fleet by the boat yard and Hoseasons being advise in June and we being advised 18/8, and were are to take our trip on 3 weeks - we were NOT given the option of going on another boat back in June when they were notified - to our absolute horror we have only been refunded a quarter of the amount that was paid - ABTA and legal here we come!!!

Booked holiday for next year. Wanted to amend and upgrade accommodation. Not able to get through to customer services. Have now written a letter of complaint absolutely dire!! Should be ashamed of themselves still taking money and bookings on line!!!

Absolutely disgusted that Hoseasons continue to take booking and peoples money but are blaming Covid for the inability to answer calls, allow changes to booking or giving customers any way to contact them! Will not use again. Another greedy money grabbing company that I now hope goes bust!

I know that these are difficult times. However am still holding on the phone after 2 hours to speak to someone about an issue that can't be resolved online. Have messaged them 3 times too but no response. Customer service is appalling.

We booked a last minute holiday through hoseseasons to go to Cornwall for a week at the end of July. On the day of travelling (we were travelling from Crewe so set off around 9am) I received an email from Hoseasons at 11.40 entitled ** do not travel. And that the holiday was no longer available!!!! Outrageous!!

If you are looking at this review you are probably deciding on whether you should book your holiday with Hoseasons. We booked our holiday on the 11th July 2020 to spend a week at Finlake commencing the 10th August 2020 at the cost of £1375. The deposit was payable immediately with the balance being paid on the 20th July 2020. And then, out of the blue, on the 6th August 2020, we received an e-mail from Hoseasons which stated. “We are contacting you on behalf of the owner’s of Finlake Holiday Resort who have informed us that the accommodation you booked is no longer available for your chosen dates. Unfortunately this means that your holiday will not be able to go ahead and has been cancelled.You do not need to do anything; we are refunding you the amount you have paid on your booking to the card(s), and in the same number of instalments, that you paid with. This will be with you in 3-5 days.“ We appreciate that this is extremely frustrating and thank you for your understanding.“ This is not even true as it was Hoseasons fault for taking multiple bookings for the same lodge. And that was that. No phone call, no attempt to try and find us another holiday. Nothing at all. You cannot even speak to Customer Services at Hoseasons at present as an automated message plays and then the call is terminated. This should answer your question as to whether you should book with Hoseasons! How would you feel if your holiday was ripped away from you four days before you travel, or worse still as some others have, arrive at your holiday site to be told your holiday has been cancelled and then been turned away. How can anyone have confidence to book with Hoseasons again? Please do yourself a big favour and find a competent booking agent who won’t let you down days before your holiday was due to begin. P.S. To make matters worse, we will not even receive our refund before our holiday was due to commence so even if we were fortunate enough to find an alternative we have no money to pay for it.
