A terrible company !!.... If I could give minus stars I would. Firstly, They will sell you a holiday that you probably cant go on. In my case, they cancelled me a day after i paid the full balance, I am still waiting for thousands back 3 months later. Secondly, You will find it impossible to speak to anyone for resolution. They have stopped their phone lines and the only way you can contact them is via online chat, which either keeps you on hold for an average of 16 hours, or you cant get on it in the first place. Lastly, they have now taken themselves off the ABTA membership, which essentially makes it more difficult for customers to get their refunds back. Make no bones about it, thats a despicable way to treat customers and to be in business. I could go on for pages and pages of how downright terrible these people are but but it stresses me out, as it already has done over the last 12 weeks. Unfortunately, foreign travel over the next year or so will be dodgy at best, so keep hold of your money until its right. Hopefully this horrible company will be no longer, but keep an eye out for what name they restart with and avoid

Terrible!!! Sold us a “package” holiday to Turkey in October 2020. Once the UK travel advice changed to against all but essential travel, Love Holidays informed us that we potentially could cancel, but recovering flight cost (c. 750) is our problem. After that they had a nerve to say that their admin fees are non refundable. Lesson learned. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Scam scam scammers ... Do NOT book with them ... It is a scam, you will loose your money. I made a reservation in August 2020, and the trip is scheduled for November 28, 2020 ... Out of curiosity I looked for the reviews after I booked obviously and they were bad, I knew something was wrong. Then I decided to cancel the reservation on September 30, 2020 ... Now they say that my trip is in less than 28 days ( Is a Lie, is in 2 months) and the message say that they will not refund the money ... When I call, is the same recorder message, nobody ever answers, when I send messages through the page they DO NOT respond and when you use the Chat the message is the always the same ... DO NOT use this website ... It's a fake.

As already described by others, LoveHolidays have been entirely wanting in connection with cancelled holidays, but in particular the flight refunds. They currently maintain at least in my case that they are waiting on my refund from Ryanair first - but Ryanair refunded them nearly 3 weeks ago. I know this because linked to my booking were some additional seat change fees that I paid for separately. I noted the refund of these several weeks ago and received an email from Ryanair advising the refund had now been repaid. Ryanair was able to provide me with the references used for the entire booking upon request and this confirmed two separate payments were recorded (one for the original seats and another for the seat changes). One of the credit card details matched a card in my possession so I've got a clear link between refund and payment card, but interestingly the second reference was not to the one that I originally booked with but to a completely different card number that I did not recognise. I was confused by this but after reviewing the earnest pleas from Ryanair in relation to this it seems LH probably took my original payment directly but then paid Ryanair with a different card - so despite their protestations to the contrary, my contract for services was most definitely with LH and is not negated by them advising me they just act as a go-between, who need to recoup their payment upon my behalf first. It’s one contradiction after another on the chat service. I’ve sought transcipts of conversations but they never materialise and I've even experienced one agent telling me the other is simply wrong. Whatever is going on here seems incredulous and wholly unethical. Initially, like many, I had listened to LH protestations about non payment from Ryanair, but to be honest I’m now of the opinion this is an exercise in trying to deflect legitimate responsibility. They are a package organiser – or online travel (OTA) despite what they may now be claiming (at least they certainly were when I booked) but continue to shirk their duties and responsibilities here. From the outset they have delayed processes, waited for customers to pay before then cancelling holidays almost immediately, illegitimately blamed others for the problems, and now highlight the credibility of their own staff who seem to be turning on each other. If LH do read this please start to act ehtically and morally - you owe it to your customers but also your own staff. You are a business, but many individuals are struggling with financial issues that you could help alleviate.

I booked online as the person I spoke to Valerie Burton had an extremely aggressive approach in making me book the holiday. We don’t need any of that on the phone its not helpful and you know what, you need to review your staff she didn't come across as helpful

Never again. 1. No clear information was send re how many bags included. We did spend extra €200 in relation to this; 2. Transfer cost was double more expensive, if we would be taking first Taxi from the street; 3. Transfer car (transfer company) from airport to Hotel was with broken air conditioning and burning system, so 1 hour travel in +33 outside; 4. We have lost a half day of our time solving back transfer issues. Hotel was stating , that no drivers from Love Holidays Transfer company at morning time. We send a email directly to Love Holidays - no any reply at all. 5. Highly not recommended.

Booked a package holiday with Love holidays ... NEVER AGAIN !!!! Our return flight had been changed by two days... within 4 days of our departure date. contacted love holidays for advise via the online chat which felt like we were talking to a school child !!! stated they would get back to us within 72hrs.. which appeared to be a standard response. Needless to say we heard nothing back from them. So we attempted the online chat again.. which took some time to get through and asked if it was possible to extend our hotel stay by two nights. Love holidays said they would enquire with the hotel and get back to us through the manage your booking section again within 72hrs... of which, if we had waited would have taken us past our departure date !!! Again we heard nothing back So we took matters into our own hands and contacted the hotel direct to ask if we could extend our stay for a further two nights, the hotel responding straight away with a positive confirmation. We then accepted the new flight schedule and extended our holiday for a further 2 days. Luckily we took matters into our own hands and had a lovely holiday even in these current times. I very much doubt I would ever book another holiday through Love Holidays !!!

F**king love holidays.....don't go near this absolute shower of thieving illigitimate morons. We have finally had our e-mail to tell us that our holiday is cancelled....this is what they say when I click to get my refund. Request submitted Thank you for telling us that you would like a refund. Here’s what will happen next: 1. We have immediately stopped any future payments from being taken in respect of your original booking 2. We will notify you once the refund has been processed. We're working through bookings in departure date order. We’ll process your refund within 8 weeks of your original planned departure date. Please do not submit a chargeback or legal action in respect of this refund amount as we will need to pause processing your refund to complete the other process you have initiated to avoid double payment issues arising. As a reminder, flight refunds are currently managed directly by the airline, and we have a separate process for forwarding refunds received for these. Any refund amount will be transferred to us first by the airline and then we’ll transfer it to you within 5 days of receiving it from the airline. More information can be found...blah blah. Totally unimpressed with the first statement. They made sure not to send me a cancellation notice until they had taken my final payment which I had to pay otherwise they then say I had failed to pay so don't get any refund. They stopped taking bookings for Vegas at the beginning of September so they f**king knew then the holiday wasn't happening. Then they add a clause to warn everyone not to get charge backs or take legal action....is this even legal.....Don't touch this company with a barge pole. They even left ABTA so that they didn't have to follow any code of conduct.

DO NOT BOOK with them. Totally incompetents This is my second review and I decided to write it after discovering that they sold me a holiday for 6 people for 14 days and they never purchase any bag with it. Who goes in holiday for 2 weeks without a need for a bag? this is now going to cost me 200+ euro more. I have already complained and they have even answered my previous askign to contact them...however, the contact details they provide do not work and do not allow to contact them for the issue. The chat customer service is useless as they asked me to sort out all the issues directly with Ryanair, Hotel and transfer...they just take your money and leave you alone if you have any issue!

We received a notification from Love Holidays that due to Covid or hotel booking had been cancelled, this was 2 days before we were due to arrive there. I contacted the hotel as we have stayed there many times and they said there wasn't a problem at their hotel, but LH had decided to cancel all of their bookings. Tried CHAT and was told they would be in touch. I came to a private arrangement with the hotel and have now booked in the hotel. Tried chat again to be told the in resort team are the only ones that can help, looks like I will probably be back home before the in resort team get in touch. All I want is the money back I have them 9 months ago!!

Booked a stunning villa in Kalkan privately but booked through Love Holidays a 3 night stay at Lykia residence and Spa for the last few days. Received a message from hotel That this had been cancelled by Love Holidays and our room given away. So, we have been left stranded in Kalkan with no where to stay. We had already paid Love Holidays for these 3 days. NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN will I book anything through this company again. No phone no. to ring and no access to Live chat. Absolutely appalling. WARNING!! Never book with this company, they are COWBOYS!

DO NOT book with them. they server to go out of business

in general, the holidays went not bad, with the exception of a few moments. We ordered one hotel, three days before departure to Turkey, an e-mail came with the change of the hotel, the first one was closed due to covid 19. We fly to Turkey! Arrived, met, took a minibus to the hotel. We arrived but we are not on the list of this hotel. On the hotel car we went to another hotel of this chain, we are not there either. So three times changed the hotel in the end we were placed in the first one, where we were first time. We are resting ... the hols went well except for the restrictions due to covid19. Three phone numbers were placed on the transfer vouchers by which you need to call 24 hours before departure and find out what time we will be picked up from the hotel. I was ringing all day long , none of the three numbers answered. I thought that in the worst case, we would take a taxi to the airport, but at the reception they said that at 2 am there would be a transfer to the airport from another hotel. The plane leaves at 6 am, we were waited our minibus until 2 pm, then we were taken by the hotel car to another hotel where the bus took tourists from Poland. I agreed with the driver for little money and he took us. Thanks God we got on the flight to London. I don't want to hear the name of this company anymore.

I will never use Loveholidays again. They block all ways to contact them, are slow to respond and can't give a straight answer. When the pandemic is over people will remember the way they treated their customers.
