Booked a hotel room only and selected the small deposit option not the non refundable option. This was just in case I needed to cancel it. I was not informed that I’d be liable to pay the full amount and that the booking was non refundable until I’d made the small deposit and received the confirmation email. So I called them and told them that their site is misleading and that I would not be paying a penny more. After being put on hold for up 30 minutes the guy I spoke to came back and agreed with me! However the finance department still keep sending me invoices so I’ve also called ABTA. This company is not an honourable business and should also be reported to Trading Standards!

Bunch of rogues! Clients beware! I cancelled my holiday at the start of February 12 weeks prior to going. I used there online service . I was prepared to lose my deposit and put a line under the matter. I was astonished when the company then tried to take the full balance . I contacted the company imediatley and explained the situation and they alnoledged my cancellation . I asked for all correspondence to be forwarded and told them not to attemp taking another payment . To date they have sent no information, do not reply to emails and have tried to access my account 36 times . This company are complete crooks . Please do not get involved with this rogue outfit . Matter now in the hand of ABTA

DO NOT USE LOVEHOLIDAYS IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY! My husband and I booked our NYC trip with loveholidays a month ago. We gave them a call to enquire about the rate we saw online, and happy with the total amount we were given, we booked our holiday with them on the phone. When we received our receipt through email, we found a hidden clause in their terms and conditions which was not disclosed to us before we booked, that we are to pay the compulsory facilities fee of $35/person per night at the hotel. With our 6 day holiday, this meant that we were supposed to pay another $420 EXTRA, on top of what we already paid which is a substantial amount!!! We have looked at other sites like booking.com and they clearly state if there will be an additional fee to be paid at the hotel. We called back loveholidays to complain that this additional substantial cost was not disclosed to us before we made the booking on the phone but the rude lady on the phone ended the call abruptly and said it is not her problem. To add insult to injury, we were also mis-sold the breakfast, because we specifically asked if it would be a buffet breakfast rather than a grab and go croissant & coffee breakfast, and they confirmed that it would be buffet. But when we got to the hotel, the reception said they only offer grab and go. BEWARE of LOVEHOLIDAYS. Their information is misleading, the staff are rude and sneaky, and you might end up paying a lot more than you intended which is what exactly happened to us.

Misleading Pricing on their Website!!! I made a booking for April 2020 and upon receiving their confirmation. There was a Price Query against their website. I attempted within 30 minutes to contact them for a explanation and was told to call Customer Service the following day. I contacted Customer Service as advised and was told that if I cancelled the booking I would loose my £1753 Intial Deposit & incurr a further £300 Cancellation Fee. She advised me to send a copy of the screen dump to their Price Match Dept for consideration. They replied promptly that their Price Match Policy would not be applied. After several further phone calls to ther Customer Service Dept, I now have to wait 25 days for a partial refund. I do not understand why I should be paying a card payment fee which is now illegal and private transfer fee for a service that was not to be provided until April, 2020. My next step is contacting ABTA to highlight their poor practice.

3 times booked a holiday to celebrate my birthday later in the year. 3 times Love Holidays called to cancel the booking, saying someone else must have booked at the same time! Really?!! Happy Birthday to Me!!! Thanks!!! Stay away from this company as I know I can check in the next few days & the cancelled holiday will be advertised!!

Awful company be very very careful. If any information on their website is incorrect regarding hotels, flights ect they will take no responsibility at all. I booked an aqualand resort holiday only to find via another means that it doesn't open until the end of our stay. Loveholidays have now updated their website following my information but will not hold any responsibility and just quote the terms and conditions. I'm sure most have had lovely holidays but this company cannot guarantee your holiday and will not support you when things wrong. Awful company can you imagine how my kids are feeling now.

My experience with loveholidays.com becomes yet more and more stressful. I keep trying to amend my holiday dates but loveholidays keep moving the goal posts and with each subtle move of the goal post your holiday price increases. They say they work on live prices but you cant call them and talk to them live so you have to wait until they decide to get back to you. This experience has made me question whether even going on holiday is even worth the hassle! I've made several complaints on their Facebook page and various review sites but they maintain their radio silence until they hit you with a price hike 3 days after your initial enquiry. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID

Bad experience using love holidays so far. Their website claims you can do everything easily through their manage my booking app...but only when the damn thing works and when its down theres no back up, even over the phone! I've just been told I've been waiting a week to accept amendments to my holiday because their system is down! I may now have to cancel the holiday and the flights that cost extra to re-arrange on the advice of love holidays. Really easy and stress free? Not a chance, THE most stressful holiday booking experience I've ever had! Just got off the phone with them now...they won't do anything over the phone unless your going on your holiday in the next 14 days? why? They've just piled a load of undue stress on me now. I've been trying to sort my issue for a week and after finally talking to some one who could access their system I was told they'll just forward my request to the department it went to in first place and I have to wait up to 72hrs for a response! Why? What a bizarre set up! I AM NEVER USING THIS FIRM AGAIN...I'M ACTUALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY UPCOMING HOLIDAY NOW. IF THIS IS THE EFFORT THEY PUT IN TO HELPING YOU BEFORE YOU GO AWAY GOD KNOWS WHAT ITLL BE LIKE WHEN I AM AWAY! FINGERS CROSSED

would not recommend love holidays if it was the last holiday company on earth. There service is absolutely appalling. I have been trying to change details of my holidays for the last 3 weeks and I still don’t know where I stand. Any changes you want to make must be done through the website. You send a request of which there customer services team in India will pick it up about 4 / 5 days later and give you an incorrect response of which you can only send another message and hope for a more capable person to pick up ur message. When I phoned love holidays they were unable to help me unless I was fling within 14 days. HELLO my holiday will be booked out by them. I am sooooo sorry I booked with love holidays I would cancel but I don’t want to loose my deposit. Do yourself a favour and DONT use this company. I’m haven’t gone on holidays yet but will need one after all the stress of this if I ever get there

Great packages, THE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! They lied to my face and treated me like stupid. If you need to speak with customer service you better book another holidays somewhere else as they are useless and rude!!!

I booked a trip to NYC and the airline moved the flight times. The airline said on their website if the new time is inconvenient, the will change the flight for free. I also have Twitter messages from them. As I booked via LH I asked them to make the change, and they quoted £550, blaming their supplier. I would happily pay an admin fee but £550 for what Delta are offering free is ridiculous. Delta were going to just change the booking but their system requires the ok from LH.

I have booked an hotel through Loveholidays. hotel dos templarios, in Tomar portugal. price £150.00. an option was offered of a low deposit of £30.00. when I got the confirmation a transacton fee of £14.85 which I had not requested. This is for 55% in 8 weeks and the remainder in 11 weeks. I recon that the interest charge is about 50% apr. I could not change the payment arrangement. I am paying with a credit card which has an apr of 11%. BEWARE. Booking.com needs no deposit, you can cancel without charge and do not have to pay untill yoe arrive. ! what a mistake

DO NOT USE LOVE HOLIDAYS. BOOKED HOLIDAY, NO AVAILABILITY LEFT IN THE HOTEL WHICH WAS SHOWN TO BE AVAILABLE ON WEBSITE YET WOULD NOT CANCEL OUR HOLIDAY FREE OF CHARGE. ROOMS ARE NOT LIVE. WEBSITE IS SCAM. TAKE YOUR MONEY FOR HOLIDAYS WHICH NO LONGER EXIST. BETTER TO BOOK WITH REPUTABLE BRAND LIKE TUI.

The worst hotel and holiday provider I have ever encountered !!!!! My partner booked to go away to Edinburgh in December for my birthday he then 7 days before going broke his leg. He then had to get a plate and 8 screw's so we where unable to go up. The same day he went online and contacted the so called holiday provider and went through there cancelling policy, to which they did not reply. He then went though the whole process again and rang them multiple times regarding the situation. It ended up being three days before the company replied which they then stated it was to late to cancel. I have been emailing the company on and off since December it is now march, with the longest waiting time of 55 days for them to bother to reply to me. which they have now said we cannot have a refund or change the date of my birthday present. DON'T BOOK WITH THIS SO CALLED HOLIDAY COMPANY THEY SHOW NO "LOVE" TO ANY CUSTOMER !!!!

I’ve had a dreadful experience with Love Holidays, so much so that I had to warn others, you may not get the holiday you paid for. They seem to think it’s perfectly ok to mess their customers about & use bait & switch tactics to get more cash out of you. I paid for 2 weeks half board in Turkey for May for my family, then Thomas Cook changed our outgoing flight by 2 days, a significant change according to the 2018 Package Holiday Regulations. Love Holidays response to this was "oh, I think you got that way too cheap" then said they'd get back to me. A week later, a return call from LH saying that if I wanted to move my return flight by 2 days to match the changed outgoing flight, so I get the full 14 nights break that I paid them for, they wanted another £279! Unbelievable! Months of going back and forth, they wouldn’t move on it and the figure ended up changing to £306 extra. They tried to tell me this was perfectly normal behaviour and was the norm amongst travel companies, this of course was absolute rubbish. They repeatedly said either pay up or cancel, hassling me by phone (even though I told them I wanted email communication only, repeatedly). I even got 5 calls in one afternoon at one point, clearly trying to bully and intimidate me in to submission. Not once did I get an apology for the stress and hours of hassle they caused me, let alone any compensation for the trouble they caused. Nor did they care that I'd reported them to ABTA for breaking their code of conduct, or when I reported them to Trading Standards. I most certainly was not giving them any more money, so now I’ve no holiday. Thanks very much Love Holidays! They genuinely didn't care they'd taken my family's holiday away, we've had a very hard time lately and desperately needed this break. I of course now cannot book anything else for the same time, as most places are booked up or way beyond what I can afford because of the huge time delay since this fiasco began. It's a mind boggling way to treat people that you want to come back for more business. So please be vary wary of using Love Holidays, i am certainly none alone in having received this treatment and the likelihood is that you won't get what you paid them for, and they won't care one little bit.
