You took my money and refused to refund my flight cost despite booking both flights and hotel and transfers with you. That made it a package holiday as we purchased ALL elements from you. Would never use you again so take notice if you are reading this!!

We booked a holiday to Cuba with love holidays. We picked a particular hotel that had all we wanted and flights with Tui. Love holidays told us we had to pay for the flights in full straight off - no problem. Less than 3 weeks before departure they informed us that the hotel was ‘no longer available’. We were offered one alternative hotel which was not up to the same standard. We rang customer services and after being on hold for 35mins we were offered alternative hotels but as it as so close to our departure the prices had risen alarmingly. Hotels of a much lower standard were much more expensive than our original one. We gave this some thought and rang back - 45mins on hold. We were told basically take or leave it. If we cancelled we would not get any monies back. We then tried an on line chat. Virtually told the same thing except not only would lose everything if we cancelled we would have to pay an extra £80 for the privilege! They would not let us keep the air tickets on their own. We have ended up having to pay an extra £300+ for a poorer room! This company is ok when things are going well but as soon as there is a problem it’s just tough! Customer services are non existent. There is no way of speaking or emailing anyone in their complaideportment as this has to be done by post with it’s obvious delays. We will never use this company again!

Where to start we booked a holiday to Thailand last April for February this year and on and of there have been issues with one thing or another but mainly fight changes at one point early on a flight we originally booked was no longer scheduled offered an alternative with another airline and love holidays asked for us to pay another £1000 plus up front before the cost of the original flight had been refunded this I wasn’t comfortable with so I refused to do so eventually things had been rearranged with original airline, this was fine until a little later yet another schedule change and this time wanted to charge me more again because of price changes yet again I refused by this point I began to question my choice of holiday company, eventually after messaging back and forth with at 3 different members of staff the status quo had been restored and the original price stayed.now the cruncher two weeks before we depart I received a email informing me that due operational issues with covid etc our holiday had been cancelled and a full refund would be made in due course gutted and extremely angry is an understatement and i as well as others I spoke to think this is a bs excuse for what ever reason,the only good thing about it was the duly offered refund was made less than 24 hours after it was applied for thankfully I’ve managed to book again for the same dates and hotel at short notice booking each element separately much to our relief.safe to say I won’t be going back to love holidays again

A word to the wise; don't book with LoveHolidays unless you want to get lumbered with $100 'resort fees' when you check out of your hotel. Apparently we were liable for these right from the start, but instead of telling us at the time of booking, they just buried this information halfway through their lengthy T&Cs document and expected us to find it. Other booking agencies like Expedia and Booking.com manage to liaise with the hotels they send people to, and make their customers aware of the potential charges. LoveHolidays essentially can't be bothered to find out what these fees might be, and simply expect you to pick up the surprise bill as you check out. Happy holidays. Customer service response has been blunt and dismissive. It's a shame as our flight with BA and stay with Hotel Artisan in Mexico were great, but take my advice and book through another agent.

Loveholidays company should change its name to 'Hateholidays' or 'ruined holidays' because they are definitely making their customers regret booking a holiday with them. Our experience with them has been so far a total holiday nightmare. We have requested a small amendment to the passenger name by adding two missing letters. This was not a full name change request! When we spoke to the airline directly, they said the full name change would involve a change of surname as well as first and middle names, basically all of it. Our change request was a correction to the first name by adding just two missing letters. There was no change to the middle name and no change to the surname. The airline itself said that they would not charge for a minor correction. But we still have to go through the Loveholidays to make the change as our booking is with them. When we contacted the Loveholidays for the amendment, initially they said it is going to be £275, and the next day they said no it is going to cost £516 without giving any reason in the price difference or why they are charging us for the service that the airlines does not charge for it. While we were waiting for them to explain the reason, they went ahead and canceled the ticket with our approval and without the refund. When we tried to contact their customer service- staff answered the phone with a lot of house noise in the background and sounding like she was speaking to the phone from the other end of the room. She kept repeating the same line ' the team is looking into it and they will get back to you ASAP' and hung up the phone. We then send an email using their online messaging system but did not get a reply. When they finally replied they said we have to get a new ticket for the passenger that they removed. We then paid for the new ticket via the card details they already had. But they did not send us a confirmation and the new booking did not show on the system. We only 3 days left to our flight and we have now spent over £3000 on this holiday and we do not know if we are going or not. We absolutely feel sick in our stomach and going through a real nightmare with this company. Will never ever use them and any company associated with them.

Do not book with Love holidays. I booked a fully refundable holiday pre Covid and could not change or get any refund from them. Even worse, I could not get in contact with them by any means. The only contact method was through the my booking app and everything you do here requires payment.

Booked a fully refundable / change charge free holiday with Love Holidays and paid in full. They then charged us to change our booking! Having been forced to make the changes ourselves direct with airline and hotel we were then told by Love Holidays the Hotel we booked no longer available and gave us one downgraded cheaper alternative and told us if we don't like it we lose all our money! This is a terrible company save yourselves grief and book with a reputable, reliable, trustworthy company.

This Company are unscrupulous. If you have an issue, ie COVID related, expect them to use any means possible to increase the price of your holiday.

Avoid this site at all costs. They will end up costing you money for no reason and when you contact customer care, they will tell you read the terms and conditions with no help whatsoever. I made a booking with this site for hotel only as the prices looked good and much cheaper than the hotel directly. I did book and had paid a deposit knowing that if I did have to cancel Id lose my deposit which is perfectly fine. It did turn out that we needed to cancel so I tried to do this through the online page they supply but to my amazement they wanted to charge me 30 euro just to cancel and thats on top of the deposit that I paid!! Iv never come across this before and after numerous calls and trying to get passed automated systems I finally got through to someone on webchat and was basically told I should of read the small print. I hope no one else gets caught for this and now I need to contact my bank to inform them of this fraud so i wont be charged further. Im ok with losing the deposit as thats what its for but to be charged a further fee is a disgrace. Also after you make a booking they immediately send you a request to fill out a review for trust pilot and most people will as they just saved a few hundred or so on the initial booking but just wait until an issue arises and you will see the true colours of this company

I took them to court , all done online - very simple . Received all my money back and the court fees within 3 weeks. This is the way to go with this bunch of shysters

Woeful customer service. Agreed upon a figure for a refund and since then (5 weeks ago) they have seemingly done all that they could to avoid actually paying the agreed refund. Every time I call I get a different reason as to why it hasn't been processed. The last time I spent 2 hours on the phone. At the end I was promised a call back with an update. There was then no call back.

Avoid completely, Ryanair changed our flights 3 times. The last change being a whole day's difference Love holidays would not refund the cost of the accommodation for the one night we would be losing to Ryanair changing the flights. We booked a package holiday but had to liaise with Ryan Air ourselves. Got cut off 5 times, not spoken to one customer service agent who actually cares and is helpful at all!!

Not very good customer service and changing a passenger as the will not refund you the money back. As they are not part of ABTA they can't help. Don't use or make sure everyone in your party will actually go.

I have always had a positive experience with love holidays and have booked over 14 holidays with them. From reading the 1 star reviews, it is not Love Holidays fault, but the consumer who has not read the terms and conditions properly, lost money and are venting their frustrations! I have had 4 holidays cancelled due to covid and have recieved refunds or credit note each time. I cancelled my most recent trip myself due to new restrictions as I am an NHS nurse as cannot have time off to isolate whilst waiting for PCR tests, and as the T&C`s state, I would lose my deposit and have to pay a cancellation charge. But I knew this when I booked HAVING AGREED to the T&C`s when booking. Customer service have always been helpful. Will not hesitate to continue using.

We have had to amend our holiday to New York this week due to covid changes and work commitments! We spoke to a few agents who were helpful but one called Leanne went over and above! Amazing person so friendly and so helpful and sorted us out! Thank you to Leanne for such wonderful customer service! Excellent! Jessica Hodges

4 of us paid a deposit of £39.00 each, and decided to cancel due to covid restrictions and an event we were going to was cancelled, trying to cancel our booking was a total nightmare!! Talking to a robot was like pulling teeth, then after 5 attempts waiting for live chat, we were charged £160.00 each to cancel our holiday!! Please make sure you read the terms and conditions..would avoid completely!!
