They sell old hotels they don't even refund you or apologise if this happens. They then keep your money. Hope you are well, well we accept and admit that Xxxxx has ceased trading and the supplier has confirmed this. Therefore yes you did not get the hotel you purchased and we cannot offer another hotel or refund. I think Xxxxx went bankrupt but we cannot refund you and you would need to chargeback. We are not giving any money back as we lost money. In terms of the hotel being mis-advertised you have complained to ABTA so i am not willing to comment. Getting the money back is not our problem. I am happy to help you along the way but I can’t give you any answers at the moment. I have passed your emails to my Manager. Thank you. Kind regards.

I booked a holiday with loveholidays and a couples of days before I went I read the reviews and was really worried. Anyway I get to the airport to get my transfers to the hotel and my transfers never arrived I was to say the least furious! So I rang the emergency contact number and the lady was amazing and so apologetic. The following morning I rang the company and I can honestly say they were truly sorry and quickly reimbursed me the money it cost me to get a bus to the resort and the money I had paid for the transfers and sorted transfer to collect me to take me back to the airport.

We are currently half way through our weeks holiday with Love Holidays. Its such a shame - beautiful hotel (Elba Palace golf resort 5* Deluxe Double room absolutely lovely) all quite a bit cheaper then the equivalant Thomas Cook - but the airport transfer - they booked us with 'Holiday taxis' on the express transfer - which according to LVs paperwork is no more then 4drop offs and a max of 45mins - bearing in mind its only 8k from the airport I think over 2hrs and the last of 15 drop offs is a bit much - Express we could have walked as quick - Express taxis said we got exactly what LH had booked with them on our behalf - telephone calls, messages left on answerphones, text messages, on line chat with LH - no joy - such a shame - come on LV surprise us, come good, even just answer us.

Dreadful, I booked a holiday to Skiathos, they failed to get back to me. When they did after I e mailed them they had taken money from my account and failed to secure either the flight or hotel. I had to cancel. Do not use them.

Overbooked hotel - arrived to be told this and that we were being moved. Hotel we chose was for sentimental reasons as we stayed here when got married and it was out anniversary day. I had keep calling they as to what was happening as didn't like hotel moved to, no communication from them and did not move us as requested. Ruined our anniversary day and keep us in limbo next day, I had to again chase them as to what was happening. Two days of holiday ruined with stress and upset. Never again book with the. Was promised a call from the customer services manager - never got it- says it all!

I have never experienced such terrible service from a company. Sean inparticular has just refused to help in any way, been rude and sarcastic and then hung up on my mid sentence! Working in a call centre myself I know this is unacceptable, I was not verbally abusive to Sean, I did not swear at him, I did not deserve to be hung up on he merely refused to help me. I will be taking this further sean. Mandy on the other hand was extremely help ful when I rang back, transforming the call from the tears Sean had caused unto laughter. Absolutely disgusted. Unfortunately for you Sean I have found the email address for complaint and will now be complaining about you also.

Their website has old hotels idk descriptions and they even issue ATOL certificates for ceased trading hotel. Please see this link on TripAdvisor https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g1-i12290-k8601577-o20-Love_Holidays-Bargain_Travel.html They refused to accept they mislead me on hotel. Description said it was City Hotel in quiet location. In reality it was an airport hotel who had taken in Syrian refugees waiting for deportation from Greece and to add insult the hotel had ceased trading so my ATOL certificate they issued was for the old hotel and ownship. BUYER be aware you could end up donating money to their profit pit.

Hotel had changed its name and target tourist customers- now where on Love Holidays website did it have updated description, expected me to spend my family holiday in an airport hotel that was described as peaceful city hotel in quiet location- how is an airport hotel in a peaceful location. no refund cut me several times on phone, didn't re issue ATOL with new hotel name thus no protection abroad - No refund no apology

Absolutely terrible. Booked a holiday for a friend. When I made my original booking, the confirmation came back with the wrong dates, only to then be told that the hotel was non refundable and no amendments. So....£132 lost, + costs to amend the flights. Rebooked for the correct dates, and all seemed fine. Sadly our friend suffered a stroke and was unable to travel. Contacted loveholidays, who informed me that of the £500+ paid, I wails get £261 refunded. Another email followed, stating the had made a mistake and the hotel was non refundable again, At least Dick Turpin wore a mask to show he was a robber. I will never use this company ever again. Every trick in the book to get your money

Totally TO NOT USE COMPANY , I have booked a holiday with them, got in my resort, surprise, a room totally different then what they advertise. I complained on the spot, lovehollidays in resort complain team told me to wait until my return. Due to the bad conditions of the room, after 2 days I moved on my own money to another hotel. Complained on my return with pictures from the resort and they respond that is the same room from the advertise despite clear it wasn't. I have never received answers back to my complaint and over the phone Cheryl Wilson told me they are not responsible to ATOL as they use a 3rd party to book hotels , with other words...I can't do anything legal against them. She didn't respect any return calls , always made me feel like a idiot , so they deserve clearly the reviews received everywhere, I am sorry I didn't pay attention to the reviews before booking with them.

STAY CLEAR of this company, complete fraudsters, I cancelled my holiday 8 months before it was due, the cancellation charges alone were half the price of the holiday. I've no doubt this company will investigated and appear on Watch Dog in the very near future. They get a big fat zero out of 5 unfortunately it did not give me this option.

Awful company. Booked to pay over 10 monthly instalments. Received confirmation that we had two payments to make to cover all monies. First being next month second next year on the month we travel. Numerous phone calls, rude operatives. Made a complaint, received email response from someone that was illiterate and rude telling me they'd looked into the case and id apparently selected the low cost option and not the direct debit option. This was not true, but even if it was, why couldn't it be changed after 12hours of booking with them? They offered no resolution, no support, nothing. I'm now left with a holiday I need to pay 50% for within the next few weeks. Disgraceful. Misleading, poor responses, complete disregard and total lack of support. Committed to them now, but would not use them again after this experience. Avoid like the plague.

An absolute shambles of a company who are quite happy to take your money but not acknowledge issues and problems. Apparently it's acceptable to have dirty rooms, rude staff, ant infestations, quite frankly dangerous electrics, move you from the hotel you booked and paid for to another. Quite frankly avoid this company at all costs!!!

Their booking system changed the dates of my holiday of its own accord and then they had the audacity to want to charge me £150 to change the dates back. WOULD NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY WITH A BARGE POLE. Crooks, cheats and extortion racket.

giving travel agents a bad name!!!!!! I booked a holiday to Malta with love holidays five months ago, we were/are due to fly this friday 7/72017. last Monday i decided to go on to the hotel website to show my two young children where we would be staying, there was a notice on the hotel website informing all guests that due to major building works being carried out the hotel would be closed. i immediately contacted love holidays who said they had no idea that the hotel would be closed but assured me they would find me a like for like hotel ( i had paid in full for a 4* all inclusive) after waiting 48 hours and love holiday not returning my call or replying to any emails i spent 40 minutes on the phone before i eventually got through to Jack Roberts. Jack told me that they were still waiting for their suppliers to find me a hotel and i would just have to wait..... after ringing them 5 more times over a couple of days (at this point i was due to fly in the next 7 days) and being fobbed off with the same excuses "it's not our fault" " we are waiting still" we are doing all we can" Jack eventually offered me a half board one bedroom 2star tripadvisor rated apartment and wanted me to pay £127 more than my 4* all inclusive hotel because lets not forget ...." this is not love holidays fault" after refusing their poor attempt at a like for like replacement Jack told me i was more than welcome to cancel and i would get my money back with in five working days. however, love holidays will only refund the money for the hotel and not the flights because " its not loveholidays fault" I've had to go around local travel agents in an attempt to find a suitable hotel for me and my kids, this proved to be quite difficult due to the time of year so I've ended up having to book a completely new holiday and destination with a different company. i'd advise anyone thinking of booking with love holidays to think again. they have awful customer service, they will use every excuse possible they will accept no responsibility and they are generally just rude people. i have contacted ABTA and they are looking into how I've been treated.

I booked accommodation online 48 hours ahead of traveling, for dates in June 2017, confirmation has some random dates in November. When I queried it I was told that "sometimes the dates change to the cheapest option if you press the "back" button". I didn't do this. The hotel agreed a refund, loveholidays.com are withholding my money as it is non-refundable.. yes, as I booked 48 hours in advance, and not for random November dates on the confirmation. absolutely shocking. BEWARE OF THE BOOKING PROCESS.
