Holiday was cancelled by Love Holidays for COVID-19. The return flight and the hotel were cancelled by the operators: the RyanAir flight went (we think) but it was part of a package holiday under those regulations. This was July 4th. It’s now October 28th. I’ve tweeted 10x and received one response. I’ve direct mailed 8x and received one response. We’ve tried live chat at all hours over 35 times and it never connects. We are trying via Amex now as we do not have the final and most costly part of the refund. Communication for LH is non existent. I can see they are replying to posts on here 2-3hrs who but perhaps they should put that same energy into turning the phone back on & answering the phone/emails. Absolutely awful. Had another package holiday through Travel Trolley: they answered after 5 tings and I have the money back in full less than 14 days later. I would never ever book from LoveHolidays again - and they’ve left ABTA. Disgusting company with lack of morals and respect for customers. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

If it was possible I would give no stars whatsoever. TUI emailed me that my flight had been cancelled the day before Loveholiday even tried to contact me. I couldn’t log on to ‘Manage my Booking’ for 2 days to find out what was happening and when contacting the so called live chat I can only assume they were napping between answering me. The refund policy is long winded and dreadful especially in respect to the flight refund as I believe the airlines are returning the money way before loveholidays is passing it on the customers. Lesson learnt - Only book a holiday when you can actually speak to someone by telephone

Try chargeback on your debit or credit card .If all else fails take them to the small claims court which can be done online dont let these scum of a company get away with it anymore. They are still stealing your hard earnt cash.

Love that Credit Card. In contrast to the numerous complaints of problems getting money back from travel agents for undelivered holiday services I thought my experience might be helpful to others. Love Holidays took my booking for a holiday in Larnaka Cyprus booked for August. In the event the hotel was closed until September. I had paid Love Holidays £530. I encountered a reluctance to refunding my money. Love Holidays website did not seem to have a refund button.(The website was offering some kind of voucher or an opportunity to change dates at the click of a mouse). I wrote to Love Holidays at its Registered Office by Recorded Delivery – twice – each time the Post Office returned the letters unopened, marked ‘return to sender’. At this point, denied the opportunity to discuss the booking with Love Holidays, I used the returned envelopes to demonstrate to the credit-card company the apparent reluctance to refund. The £530 was in my account two days later. It was so easy. Indeed I need hardly have troubled Love Holidays who clearly were very busy and unwilling to receive and answer recorded delivery letters. So my recommendation for speedy refund is: In the first instance for the legal protection always buy with a credit card. Write to the Agent – by Recorded Delivery. After fourteen days if no refund, tell the credit-card company. (Readers will know that like the Agent the credit-card company is jointly and severally liable). It works like this. The debtor (that’s you) claims refund from the creditor (the credit-card company).The credit-card company then simply takes the money from the account of the Merchant (the travel agent) and gives it to you. The Merchant is charged an administration fee and has 45 days to appeal. Be aware that the alternative of accepting vouchers ends the responsibility of the credit card company. Also the vouchers are likely to have an end date, at which point hundreds of customers may be feverishly trying to use their refund voucher, stoking demand and causing prices to rise. Giving the agent an opportunity to discuss matters with us the client should always be the first action, but it is good to know that the credit card company will respond if the agent is reluctant. It works direct with airlines too. It saves a lot of trouble especially to travel agents like Love Holidays who suddenly find their work load is such that everything has to be dealt with on line. It doesn’t.

Received email in April advising my June holiday will not go ahead due to COVID 7 months they still can't get a refund from them although Jet2 have advised me they have refunded them flight money. Thanks to my credit card company I got it back otherwise no hope. I hope this company goes into administration for scamming people.

Would not touch this company with a barge pole. Of a £700 holiday I received £13.46 refund. On live chat they told me they would give me the refund for the hotel when they received it. Asked about flight refunds from Ryan Air they informed me they cannot and will not investigate due to Data protection. Informed them thats a load of rubbish and stop the delaying tactics which are well documented. She stpped the live chat due to me asking pertinent questions. I do not know how people with any sort of consciousness can work with a company like this. My wife and I are both pensioners have now gone to the FCA and CMA. PLease,please do not touch this company with a barge pole they are scammers and thrives

Received an email advising our holiday was cancelled due to covid , 48 hours prior to departing. After 8pm so couldn’t contact until the following morning. Got through on live chat to be informed our hotel was shut because of covid. What they wasn’t aware of we had contacted the hotel directly prior to live chat and knew The hotel was OPEN and was in fact full! They still had our reservation and because we had booked our flights separately, we once again secured our room. We informed live chat of this and they were adamant that the hotel was shut. We argued the point and in the end the operative said...oh yes sorry our mistake! You can go ahead with your holiday, enjoy . We checked in fine but the following morning had a note from reception advising we contact them immediately. Love holidays cancelled our room! We had to pay the full amount again. Because we were now on holiday we were able to speak on the telephone with a love holidays advisor...eventually after a further 24 hours they paid the bill and we got our refund. Now, you would think the story would end there but no. We had a party of 9 people coming to join us 4 days later...guess what? Yes, they had exactly the same problem even though they all contacted love holidays prior to departure informing them of our plight so it didn’t happen to them. I would never use this company again, they caused undue stress for several days of our holiday and our friends. My question is this...how many holidays have they cancelled and blamed covid? When there actually isn’t a problem at all. Not all people would check and they would assume the information is correct, they would then be issued a credit note which is not worth the paper it’s written on, allowing love holidays to keep their hard earned money!! Absolutely disgusting!!

Was due to go away in May, the holiday was cancelled the day after they took the final payment, been trying to get a refund from them ever since, they told me that I had to claim directly from Ryanair even though they knew they had paid them and Ryanair wouldn't talk to me, they then said they were waiting for a refund from Ryanair, Ryanair gave me evidence that they had paid the refund to them 5 weeks previously, they still denied it, launched a small claims court and hey presto a week later they pay up, just waiting for the refund of the court fees and interest but I will never book through them again.

Worst organization and refund department I have ever dealt with on holiday booking. 5 hours online hold for chat, no money returned or refunded and work independent of airline and hotel which supposedly they 'booked for us' it is a shambles and comedy of errors. never again!

This company should have its name dragged in the mud for what they have done to peoples holiday refunds .I will never book with this type of company again its easier to do it yourself and you can save pounds. I hope every one will keep complaining to let these cheating companies know that we dont trust you anymore.

Avoid do not use this company booked to go to majorica in may they cancelled due to covid got a credit note for hotel and managed to get money back for flights but then when used part of credit note for a weekend away they used the whole of the 800 voucher for 200 weekend away refusing to issue new voucher. Plus to add to stress when went on weekend hotel had not been paid and were expecting us to pay luckily they worked it out with love holidays before we left so didn't have to pay again but not happy that they are refusing to refund our 600 pounds stating now that my holiday wasn't a package though I booked all together.

Never again will we book with them again. Our holiday was cancelled due to covid in March. We paid all our money to this company so as far as. we are concerned our contract is with them. Still 7 months later we have not had our flight refund. They won't give us our refund and are saying they can't till Ryanair give it to them. As far as we know they had all our money and they booked the flight. Now all that time gone we have not had a refund from either Ryanair or love holiday. We cannot trust love holiday again and can't book with them till we get all our money back. Very disappointed
