“Terrible Experience with Loveholidays - Avoid at All Costs! I recently had a horrendous experience with Loveholidays that I want to share to warn others. I booked a family holiday to Turkey for £10,050, which was a significant amount of money. After 48 hours, not only did I not receive a confirmation, but I was also told that the price had gone up by an additional £2,350. This is outrageous and completely unacceptable. After taking my money, Loveholidays informed me about the price increase, which felt like a blatant attempt to con me. I had to call their customer service, which took around 45 minutes to get through. When I finally spoke to someone, they were extremely rude and unhelpful, insisting that I had to pay the extra amount due to a price increase. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This company tried to rob us of our hard-earned money. I immediately contacted my bank to try to get my money back and included a recording of the conversation as proof. Loveholidays does not provide any assistance or support. They don't even have a proper email for customer service, making it nearly impossible to resolve issues. Because of them, I have lost my summer holiday and am now struggling to get my money back. Please avoid booking with Loveholidays at all costs. They are unreliable, unhelpful, and seem to be running a scam to exploit customers. Save yourself the trouble and book with a more reputable company. Booking reference: LOV8112958U Stay away from Loveholidays and save your holiday and money!”

“No ABTA protection, so when you get undercooked hotel food, broken beds and dangerous shuttle buses, you are on your own and they never help. Ignore the ATOL & CAA promise, this is just legal requirements if airline goes bust. Lady from Citizens advice told us they have lots of complaints and can do nothing as they 'dropped out of ABTA during Covid to avoid their responsibilities to customers then, and have been defrauding customers ever since'”

“In December 2024, I paid a deposit for a trip to Thailand.Due to a bereavement I tried t cancel but was told I would forfeit my 650e. This money was ' chargedback' to my card apparently. Except it wasn't. I was required to pay a second deposit plus the full balance in January 2024. Despite nearly fifty emails and asking my card company to intervene, my money was never returned. Today I requested my money be repaid via five separate different emails. ALL of these bounced back from loveholidays. A total scam company.”

“If I can give no stars I would. I booked a holiday to Egypt for 10 days but, unfortunately, had to cancel due to an accident. I've tried contacting loveholidays to address this issue, but I've had difficulty getting through because my number is already registered for the Egypt trip. Each time I call loveholidays, I've had to use a different number. When I finally reached them and explained my situation, they directed me to call ATOL insurance. However, when I contacted ATOL, the staff member I spoke with was not pleased. She explained that ATOL only provides support in cases where loveholidays is bankrupt and expressed frustration that loveholidays is directing all customers with issues to them. She also mentioned that she would be filing a complaint about this. Despite my attempts to contact loveholidays, I faced difficulties because my number was already registered for the trip. When I finally managed to speak with a representative, they asked me to pay £58 to avoid my account being closed, which I paid. They also requested a letter confirming my accident, so I sent my hospital letter and sick note. However, they did not accept these documents and asked for a medical certificate signed by my GP, which cost me £30. After providing the requested medical certificate, I called to confirm its receipt and was told not to call again as they would contact me. Eventually, I received an email stating that my case was closed and I would not receive any refund, despite having provided the medical certificate they requested and their confirmation of its receipt.I’m very disappointed”

“Awful service my daughter Jodie has received of this company over the weekend, on Saturday morning my daughter booked a last minute holiday to turkey for her, husband and 3 children she paid over £4275 for this, she started packing organising transfers and 3 hours later the person from love holidays rang her and told her the holiday was cancelled as there was no seats on the plane and a refund would take 5-14 days absolutely dreadful service she was absolutely devastated for her and the 3 children which where all very upset crying by this time They could not book another holiday as there money was booked on the love holidays destination and had to wait for refund Who does this to a young family desperate to get away My daughter has been very poorly and they all decided she needed this holiday and this company does that No other email or response from the company either and still no refund I have told her I am going to take this further as it is very unprofessional and dreadful to treat a family like this And not to respond to any emails What kind of company does this please dont use this company very unprofessional I will be taking this matter further for her now Sharon (Jodie mum)”

“I’ve booked a holiday for July this year (2024) for 7 nights in New York for myself and my daughter who‘s just recovered from 3 years of cancer treatment. On the booking form it stated „ Double Bed / Twin bed or King size Bed“ I choose that option as I & my daughter are ok with a Twin bed room & obviously, the other options were not suitable. I paid in full, the booking confirmation defaulted to King size bed. I went on „ Manage my booking“ as their AI robot said I’d be able to change my room choice without a problem…that failed. After countless emails to the hotel and more phone calls to Love holidays.. it seems like no one from Love Holidays is prepared now to actually give us the option of a twin room, because they said; the hotel does not actually have twin rooms available ( I‘m now shaking my head in disbelief) I‘ve been onto the hotel again..who said all they need is an email from Love holidays to change the room to a Twin Room. I’ve spent hours with the Love Holidays customer service asking for a simple room change and got nowhere. They were very quick to take my money but unwilling to do anything when I asked them to give me the option that I selected. Never again!”

“Stay away from this travel agency. They lie about the hotels and holiday deals, I paid extra for private transfers had nothing but problems with transfers, my travel rep is absolutely unless ignored my messages, my concerns, didn’t deal with anything for me or even bother to reply! Absolutely useless! Stay away I was told there’s Wi-Fi there was no free Wi-Fi other than lobby We was looking for transfers for an hour on arrival was told to go look 1000s for our car. Pick up we didn’t get told until an hour before what time we are being picked up. I was keep chasing it up no one knew anything I had problems at the hotel I was just being ignored Absolutely disgusting!! Will never ever travel with love holdiay again”

“Never again...This was my second time and last to book with Love holidays...it takes more than 5 days to be contacted about amending a booking,hidden costs and admin fees....if they have a better offer on their website and you already booked ,you cannot change to get a better price. We paid 60 euro for a transfer and then found out we could have just paid the bus 3 euro each...we wanted to cancel the transfer,but found out it's non-refundable. Conclusion: it's at least 20% cheaper if you book the hotel and flights,and you can easily amend what you need.”

“We needed to change a passenger name and after 3 weeks of speaking to them we confirmed it with them to change the name and book the new flight. We didnt receive confirmation of this so 2 days later rang to see what was happening. They had not booked the flight and informed us it was now going to cost us £250 more to change the passenger. This is clearly in black in white via emails and the T&C’s also state that they can charge up to 100% of the initial fee and they are charging us over 100% of the initial cost. I have spent over 3 hours on the phone to customer services trying to sort this with no success. Today alone i have rang and ben told 2 different stories and been promised phone calls from the managers for 3 days now and no one has rang. We fly in 3 days and still don't have this sorted. The stress levels are increasing which isn’t great because I am pregnant. I also asked today to escalate this to a complaint and they said you cant complain until you have been on your holiday. This seems very strange to me.”

“just booked a Seaview balcony room and paid in full, then received a confirmation showing a standard room { no balcony } even though I have all printed documents showing the room I booked and I had paid the price of a balcony room, there customer support tell me im wrong there's nothing they can do, and refuse to let me speak to a manager or to make a complaint, this is plain theft, let you book an expensive room then give you a cheaper room and refuse to talk to you.”

“I do not recommend anyone to deal with this company.This is a big scam company. I paid for everything in full, but an unexpected health situation occurred. I provided the relevant medical documents, but the staff deliberately delayed the process so as not to return the funds. They did not see the medical letter for a very long time and, of course, saw it only after the start date of the trip. That is, the loveholiday company is definitely not on the client’s side. P.s.:I placed the order on April 22. I warned in advance by phone and letter 27 that I would not be able to fly for health reasons. On May 1st I sent a letter from the doctor. But your colleagues started doing something only on May 7 after the trip. I contacted the hotel and airline and they confirmed that it was your company's fault. You are an unreliable intermediary.”
