“I have a holiday booked for June. My flight has been changed and I’ll be returning a day later than planned. I’ve been trying to contact teletext holidays for 3 weeks to no avail. I’m on hold for up to 3 hours until they cut me off. I have again this morning tried to contact them this morning, spoken to a lady regarding my concerns who was rude stating do I not know how busy they are then transferred me through to another line just to be on hold for hours again! Absolute joke!!!”

“I booked a holiday with them in Oct 2019 to go away in June 2020, it was cancelled in March one of the advisers told me. I was told that refunds would be made in Sep 2020, guess what nothing, I have emailed them 2 to 3 times a week since then and all I get is thank you for your patience. This company is abysmal in the way it has treated its customer's, I know there have been problems with the Covid but to totally ignore its customers is appalling. there is no excuse for withholding money that is not theirs. I would urge anyone thinking of booking with them to go else where, customer care is none existent. The management want sacking because they are the ones who make the policy's and withhold all payments owing to their customers this should never be allowed to happen again by any of the Holiday companies.”

“Crooks are perhaps the best description as regards this hideous company , how their trade body can countenance such illegal behaviour is beyond me !! ie a.b.t.a.or atol. Teletext Holidays ,illegally, took money from my credit card after the holiday had been cancelled. I had to resort to Law to recover the money-very stressful tosaythe least . I would very very very strongly advise that no one uses ,or even thinks of using this hideous company.. ountan”

“DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!! If I could give no stars I would!!! I booked a holiday in August 2020 for a week at the end of July 2021. There was an error on teletext’s side where the wrong hotel was booked and the hotel I wanted was not available! Therefore my holiday got cancelled and I was told I would be refunded by October. It has now been 9 MONTHS!! I have CALLED and EMAILED MULTIPLE times!!! None of my emails were responded to and every time I called (which always takes more than 30 minutes to get through) I was told I would get my refund and told multiple excuses. My latest phone call I was told I would be refunded after departure date!!! TERRIBLE SERVICE AND I WILL NEVER BE BOOKING THROUGH THEM AGAIN!!!”

“We booked a holiday with them last year. Moved it to this year on July 8th. I have called and emailed since last Sept and they don't answer your emails and leave you on hold for an hour and half then cut you off. They owe me £1000. They did send an email last week saying my holiday has been cancelled but you can't get through to them or Ryanair to get any details. DON'T BOOK WITH THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.”

“DO NOT EVER BOOK WITH TELETEXT. Unfortunately I had to give 1 star as there wasn’t the option of zero or minus cause that’s what they deserve. They are liars thieves and the most dishonest people on this planet in my opinion. They not only take money for your holiday but then also store your bank details until they feel like taking some more money from you. In my case a holiday paid for and then after the government announced no more holidays they decided to take another £2,300 out of our account without authorisation. We’ve had no correspondence with them since last august 2020. Holiday was April 2021. They ignore all emails sent and then you try to phone and eventually you get through to someone who has no clue what they are doing or even what you are saying.. they then put you on hold and then cut you off and that’s after they’ve told you yet more lies. I’ve been on every social media site to warn people to never use this company to book a holiday. They seriously need investigating. I have reported them to different organisations about their dishonesty and the theft of our money.. next stop the police. If this review gets taken down then that just proves they are not willing to cooperate and refund me our money for a holiday that hasn’t happened. Will say again DISHONEST LIARS and THIEVES!!!! The questions below are unable to be answered as they are a bit of a joke!! I have tried everything to get in touch to get a refund of £7,400 but you don’t respond to a single thing. The owner Wayne Perks is a con man. Any good reviews are self written and people need to look on social media forums to see the real truth of how this company operates. I do hope you email me after this review so I can tell you more details. My 1st time using teletext and definitely the last and is for thousands of other people.”

“DO NOT book with this company the customer service or lack of it is shocking!!!They are a total shambles of a company and should not be allowed to trade. When your 1 hour or 2hr wait to get through on the phone is answered none of the staff on the other end of the phone have a bloody clue what they are doing!!! Emails dont get answered or complaints. Something needs doing about this company and fast!!!”

“I personally would give 0 stars to Teletext. Booked in August 2019 for a 4 night stay with friends in Palma for June 2020, obviously cancelled, had one email to confirm this and like the rest of you have not received my refund, cannot get through on the phone, waiting over one hour, email do not get replied to, terrible company, terrible customer services, terrible communication, terrible staff as they haven't got a clue what is going on and never give you a straight answer. I don't know what more I can do to get my money back 😢 NEVER BOOK WITH TELETEXT THEY ARE A JOKE.”

“This website would not let me put in zero stars but it deserves less than zero , the frustration and stress this teletext holidays has caused is enormous, absolute shambles like all the other reviews I had never booked with these cowboys but my manager said she has always booked with them and swears by them !!!unwillingly I agreed big big mistake !! Taken hard earned money , and after all payment was in their account they cancelled flight ? As previous people have said the payment line is still manned taking money , I too have emailed , telephoned & hand written letters !! To no avail if you finally get through to some illiterate baffoon they put you hold only then to cut u off ! My holiday was booked last august flying out in october and I have been chasing the refund since , I think the new one will be it’s been over a year you are no refund ? These people are thieves !! Do not part with your hard earned money , I’m in my 60s and had always dreamt of going to Marrakesh while I could still enjoy it , raised a family and finally thought it’s my time even roped in a student grandaughter now I feel awful as she wasted her money too x I feel responsible, the disgust I feel is unimaginable towards teletext . The damage to my health is awful , and they hand out atol protection so you think you will be safe DONT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY EVER !!”

“My holiday has been cancelled (flight) so I've been trying to ring teletext 3 times now and each time I've been on hold for more than 2 hours,still got no answer but if I rink sales some one picks up within 5 minutes the only one thing they care about is taking your money. Disgusted in the company. Then they try blame it on coved for lack of staff even when they are working from home. They are really letting the people down”
