This is not trustworthy company, they selling holidays that do not exist and delay comtact with customer. My flight was changed and when I contakted them to amend my bookings I found out that the hotel is closed until January. They sold me holiday while they knew that this hotel is closed. They did not make any effort to inform customers about hotels closure and delay contact about refunds. If there are any doubts I have screenshots from live chat with their customer service to confirm my review. If I woudnt ask I would go and spend my holiday on the hotel doorstep with children. Massive disapointment.

Do not touch this company with a barge pole. Insurance companies have informed me they are the RyanAir of travel agents when trying to get refunds. They will use any tatic to not refund so you have to go to the insurance company. Even to the extent they told me they had sent a message to my mobile even though they didnt have my number.

DO NOT BOOK A HOLIDAY WITH THIS COMPANY I can only assume Love Holidays will go bankrupt very soon as no one is going to want to book with a holiday who no longer are a member of ABTA in these difficult times of travelling with Covid in the world. You need to book with a company who are efficient organised HONEST and put the customer first. Love Holidays is non of these things. I booked a holiday in Dec19 for travel 19Apr20. The hotel part was a fully refundable reservation outside 24hrs before arrival Yet they kept my money until June. The flight portion was with Ryanair. I organised my own refund directly with Ryanair as instructed by Love Holidays. Ryanair finally sent a full refund to Love Holidays on 28Aug20. I have spent hours on the live chat queue to speak to Love holidays to ask for my refund. They avoid answering the direct questions with what seem to be pre-written answers and consistently lie saying they have not got any money in their account to send to me as it has not been received from Ryanair. This seems to be an attempt to make Ryanair look bad. Whereas although I have had to wait for far longer than would be normal for a refund for a cancelled flight at least Ryanair have actually been honest and not made promises they can not keep. IMPORTANT INFO re if you are still waiting for a refund from Ryanair.......You can now go on Ryanair's own website and provide them with info like your id, a bill with your address on it etc and they will action the refund directly to you, the customer, even if you have booked through a 3rd party. Unfortunately for me as Ryanair have already sent my refund back to Love Holidays I can not use this. But I hope my info may help others get their money back. Please just do not book a new holiday with Love Holidays as they are a terrible company who seems to be making their poor staff have to lie and cut off live chats that you have waited for hours to have to avoid a customer direct questions. Good luck in getting your money back and I hope my advice helps

Didn't want to give 1 star. Just because Loveholidays has left ABTA does not alter the fact that if customers booked package holidays before they did this, then the contract between the travel company and the customer stands and customers are still covered re their original booking prior to Loveholidays quitting ABTA. They do not seem to have any logic, just want to get out of refunding customers. As for having patience and waiting for this Company to do the right thing, well I think Hell would freeze over before that happened. Seems odd that every now and again they are give good star ratings, when no one can get in touch with them, only by occasionally spending hours waiting for a chat line to pop up and then often being fobbed off or disconnected. No telephone line either to contact them. Are they writing the good reviews themselves ? How can it be only the favoured few get through, get a refund and are very satisfied !!!

I booked a holiday in January 2020 for travel 5th September 2020. Flight was cancelled and so love holidays contacted me to offer change or refund. I opted for refund. Flight was with easyjet who I dealt with direct and they refunded love holidays the flight cost, love holidays have since paid this to me. I have today received refund receipt from love holidays for hotel.. I did not need to contact love holidays they kept me informed & kept to their side of the deal. Happy enough! Sorry for all those that haven't had a good experience. Patience is a virtue & in these times patience is greatly needed.

Had my package holiday cancelled a week before departure. Been told I need to chase my own flight refunds because ryanair are a stand alone airline. LH have only refunded my hotel so far and have broken the law with regards to my full refund. Customer service is zero, if your lucky enough to get through on chat, it sounds like they're typing from a script. I will never book with them again , im over £1200 in flights out of pocket. I would definitely stay away from this company. Disgraceful. Disrespectful. Uncaring.

Do not expect to get your refund in full or in time! My flights were cancelled due to covid and they made me wait 3 months to only get a partial refund which only covered my accommodation. I was literally chasing them everyday for a refund for my flights (which was over £1200) and they kept telling me that they are waiting for this amount from the airlines even though the airlines confirmed to me that they are not responsible for this so they kept lying to me. I have to wait hours just to get through to someone who can never give me an answer. I am still waiting for this amount!

Loveholidays are thieves. Do not book a holiday with this fraudulent company. They do no pay refunds and make up excuses to avoid paying even though they are legally obligated. I would advise any potential customer to shop for a holiday elsewhere.

First booking paid for luggage but was not appearing on booking or airline....spoke to online chat, told me it was fine. Still worried so went back online chat to be told this time it wasn't right...so 3 hours later and 3 advisors later told they would sort it. 2 days later still not heard, due to fly in 2 days at this point, chased up again and finally got luggage added to booking. Second booking I made to Turkey, BEWARE!! If you book a transfer with love holidays (in this case our transfer shuttle was with hotel beds slu-shit company!!) then your flight ends up being late or in our case a 2 hour queue at passport control, they take no responsibility if you are out of your time slot for your shuttle/transfer and you are expected to wait for another shuttle (if available) or pay for your own! We arrived for transfer to be eventually greeted by a very rude man accusing us of being late. He said the shuttle had gone as we were late and the next one was for the customers due in at 1am and we were to wait for that ( another 3 hours away potentially if that flight also had to get baggage and queue at passport control!!) he was very rude and argumentative and had more interest in the customers that weren't here yet than the ones stood in front of us! We paid for a taxi in the end thinking love holidays would refund for the original transfer....No they did not, said it is not their problem if we ate late for transfer even if circumstances out of our control and we would not be refunded! Appalling customer service, pay for a service expect to get it and not be treated like that!!! Avoid!!!

Avoid this company. Booked an overnight stopover at hotel at Luton Airport back in February for a September holiday. Flights cancelled due to COVID. Loveholidays refused to refund as travel to London was still possible! Had to cancel quite a few bookings this year. This is the first time I have encountered such poor corporate behaviour. Booking.com and others have went above and beyond. Not this company. Would never use them and recommend others not to either.

Don't believe the good reviews, at least not from March onwards. They have made it as difficult as possible to get in touch with them to avoid refunds. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

They have cancelled their membership with ABTA, the UK is leaving the EU on the 31/12 /2020, and they had real power over these U.K. online travel companies. Love Holidays are successfully operating in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium and many other EU counties. They won’t have to pay a penny to U.K. customers as they are officially leaving the EU in 14 weeks. The U.K. is such a mess with Covid that no one is bothered, and France and Spain are practically no go areas.

I booked to go to Portugal in May i got a credit note for the hotel and had to sort out the refund for my airfare with Ryanair this was sent to loveholidays on the 5th September but loveholidays say they haven't got it even though my credit with Ryanair is now nil. You cannot contact them or get a response for love nor money. Do not believe all these reviews popping up on other sites giving them 5 stars saying that they dealt or spoke to this person or that person they don't exist they have just resigned from ABTA that says it all. I don't think I'll ever see my money again !
