I booked a trip to Disneyland Paris through Loveholidays a few days ago. I INSTANTLY received 2 emails - one to confirm that I'd made the booking and a 2nd to say that I had a message from them. Upon logging in to the account I could see that they'd sent me a message to say that an element of my trip couldn't be booked & someone would be in touch within 72 hours with a solution. The following day I read that Flybe was in trouble and as one of our flights was with them I thought I'd cancel the booking altogether & re-book with Air France flights. But it turns out you've more chance getting in touch with your dead grandma than Loveholidays. They suggest their livechat is the quickest way & given they see themselves as a "tech company operating in the travel sector" (their words) you'd expect that to be the case. Unfortunately there's been "no-one available to chat" for each of the 9 times that I've visited their livechat page. They also gave a phone number & I'm currently 36 minutes into their listening to their hold music (currently One Direction so I'm getting even more annoyed!) with no answer from anyone, I tried to no avail for 20 minutes too. So as I can't speak with anyone I thought I'd just cancel the booking online. I pressed "cancel booking" and I received a note before I confirmed to say that as the trip was due to depart within the next 28 days (it's not we're due to fly out in May, I'm pretty sure it's still January) that I wouldn't be eligible for a refund - AT ALL! So essentially they've taken my money, they probably haven't booked anything yet they wouldn't give me anything back if I automatically cancelled and I can't get hold of anyone at all to cancel it on my behalf/get an explanation. Save yourself the trouble & avoid these guys like the plague, they truly are shocking. If anyone does happen to work at Loveholidays and sees this post, please give me a call ASAP as I'd like my money back.

The worst company to book a holiday .. I try to book a holiday last week with them and I get a email saying that the booking can’t be completed and next day I call them and say the price go up with £100 and I cancelled and last night I book again a holiday with them and having the same problem and I call them saying that the price go up with £40 but to don’t worry because I will not need to pay extra and when I get the confirmation they charge me the extra £40 and when I call them back say that happens because they send me a email before making the discount and I will get a new email , but was the same price and transfer me to someone else and he said that is the right price and when I said I want to cancel he put me on hold and said that he fix it now and don’t need to pay extra and was telling me the same price with £40 extra ...when I checked now the price for the same holiday is the same like yesterday, nothing go up ... And if you call customer service you need to wait a long time..Thank you for considering your customer a joke Loveholidays !

What a pathetic excuse of a ‘friendly and helpful’ company. Paid £2000+ for a holiday to NYC (took the money out straight away) only to receive an email 2 days later saying there was an issue. Called up and spoke to the most unhelpful, rude and patronising agent, who said there was a slight issue with the flights we had already paid for. Due to this they wanted to charge us another £1000!!! Or be charged an extra £250 for in direct flights (they actually expected us to fly from NYC to Chicago and then Chicago to London, 800 miles in the wrong direction!!) Called back to advise this is not good enough to which the agent just said ‘ok so you want to cancel then?’ - no I just wanted direct flights and the price agreed! Now have to wait 5 days for a refund!! Love holidays you really need to sort the attitude of your staff out.

We have had nothing but trouble with this company, please stay AWAY, this company is not easy to contact if you want to speak to anyone it is all done on line! This then allows them to not deal with issues you have, but to pass you from one to another without resolving anything!! We have a case opened with this company, however we again have been fobbed off by saying in resort team would help, we have heard nothing!!the only thing we received was a trust pilot link👹think this company need to pay more attention to detail with the hotels they use and also how they treat their customers, our hotel was awful, this was explained at soon as we arrived, on our last day now and still heard nothing!!! To say we are not happy is an understatement, please please STAY AWAY if you want a good holiday!

Be very careful booking with this company. My confirmation did not match the advertisement. We contacted love holidays within 2 hours of getting the confirmation after contacting the resort to verify the accommodations. They were unable to modify or cancel my reservation even though it was 4 days prior to stay. They are a 4th party and things become incredibly complicated. We spoke with hotel, expedia, love holidays, and finally our credit card company. We were only trying to make a simple change or cancellation. The hotel/credit card company has been very accommodating to try to resolve the issue, but love holidays has been a complete brick wall. We have been on hold for 3.5 hours over 2 days trying to reaolve this. It looks like they get decent reviews, but look harder and notice the reviews are terrible if there is any change to your plans. Make sure everything is set in stone before booking because you will not be able to make changes

Do not book with Liveholidays!! Terrible customer service!! I accidentally booked the same hotel twice (within 30 mins!!) as their website didn’t show me the confirmation screen in the first place. They refused to refund me the first booking. They are only after the money, the customer service lady wasn’t interested in resolving the issue at all. I begged and cried and still no refund!

This is the second time I book with them and again disappointing, I don't know why I give them a second chance after what happened lat time at the airport in Spain. This time at leaving on Holiday, I booked with them parking at Gatwick Airport, MEET AND GREET, premium, as my girlfriend had a surgery and because she could not walk almost at all, decided to get valet parking with the intention to walk less. We had to walk considerably more then basic from short stay parking at Gatwick. By the way, we had also the two kids with us. The booking love holidays made was with a different company and not the airport official parking. Dodgy underground parking at sofitel hotel. You need to drive in trough the deliveries on the hotel and the parking. There are no alleys or help, you need to actually walk on the only one way drive in road, between cars and dumpsters. There is more to walk from standard place of drop zone then this one. I was so annoyed and stressed and because we had to walk very slow, trough the winter blaze and rain, we almost lost the flight. Terrible, dose not with,

Had to wait 90mins for transfer to hotel. Hotel had no heating and our room was very cold in the evening. Contacted Love Holidays about this - waste of time!! Hotel advertised as four star - that was a joke!!! I've booked through these people before, but never again!!!!

this company does not issue invoices of any sort so if its a business trip you plan to go on using Love Holidays you will not receive any sort of documentation from hotel they have booked you into, accordingly you will not be able to claim Vat or business expenses from HMRC.

Various problems with this company, even if you complain whilst on holiday they will not communicate with you properly, they will keep telling you they have 28 days etc. They will stall without giving you an answer, they will also then tell you they are the booking agents but not the company that will answer your questions. You will never receive an apology or money back eventhough they misrepresent the holidays they are advertising.

DO NOT USE. Got a call 2days prior to our flight that our hotel was shutting for a renovation, Considering I booked it as it was only half hour from the airport. Offered the other option’ which was 1hr 25 Mins Out, After Continuously Chasing Them, Calling Them everyday. We were promised transfers due to the mess up. Btw, It Never happened, we had pay the taxi ourselfs costing us double the amount. Yes I Was Refunded Those Fares Eventually But It Was Too Little Too Late. Customer Service Is Disgusting. Never Ever, I Mean Ever Trusting These Scums Again. Waste Ov Money, And Your Peace. It’s not worth it.

Ho prenotato per un albergo e arrivata conferma per un altro!! I soldi se li sono presi subito!! Ho avuto la conferma dall' albergo dove sarei dovuto andare che altre persone sono state truffate allo stesso modo!! Provvederò a sporgere denuncia e a bloccare il pagamento. Consiglio a tutti di procedere registrando la proposta e le email di conferma della società.

If you want to have peace of mind from the minute you book your holiday I strongly suggest you do not use this company!! 6 of us booked a short break over next Easter, when initially booking it we conveniently got a phone call within an hour to say the flight prices had increased so reluctantly we agreed to pay the extra in order to make the most of our Friday to Monday break, as this is the only time we can all get off together as we all work at the same place,and meaning we would be flying early Friday morning at 5.40am, then the dreaded happened with Thomas Cook, which I understand is out of loveholidays control, but from a customer service point of view without any contact they then stick us on a flight at 17.10pm that day, meaning we arrive at our destination having lost a full day, and the flight they have stuck us on was a lot cheaper than we originally paid,I checked the flights myself and there was another flight with Ryanair at 7.00am they could of put us on, but in order to save themselves a few pound their explanation was they are within their rights as it’s within 12 hours of our original flight, I contacted them numerous time’s and had no reply, I spoke to them online chat and just got a straight no, there was no option to change our flight, cancel it and book our own, or a refund. I complained to ABTA and the best advice they could offer which was the advice of loveholidays is to still travel, cut our holiday short and then make a further compliant when we return, given the service I have already received from them I am expecting them to pretty much say what they already have, and that’s tough!!!! They are still continuing to take our money though.No communication, and the customer service is shocking!!!!! I will stick to what I know in future!!!
