“Teletext are the worst organisation I've ever had the DISPLEASURE of doing business with. We've been owed £1080 for almost 7 months. We've been promised a cash payment, for the entirety of this time, yet all we've received are lies. Fake payment dates, fake e-mails and fake promises. Not to mention that the original prices described on the website rise by the time you're on the phone buying a package. They may be cheap, but don't let that win you over. If your holiday is cancelled you'll never see that money again, and instead, you'll be fobbed off with vouchers. They're rubbish at everything except creating loopholes and mazes to deny you any service. If you insist on booking with them, make sure you do it with a credit card as luckily ours have pulled through and stepped in to refund us. edit - Just noticed my last 1-star review of them received a reply from 'Richard' who assured me that I would receive a prompt reply from some make-believe department. I assume it's make-believe as I never received that reply.”

“TT789002 If you would like to travel away abroad do not be tempted to book with these CROOKS. They cancelled our trip to crete last year and refused our refund. I'm writing a review on here to let other Holiday makers get a complete understanding of what to expect with this company. All the workers within this company are trained to steal your hard earned money. After waiting half a year to be issued a full complete refund they had the nerve to say to me that if I wanted my money back id have to pay a quarter of what the holiday is worth. To which is complete nonsense. They tell you the Holiday is fully protected by ATOL but when I called them atol refused to pay the money back to me because they claimed that the buisiness would have to fold first. Where as any other travel agents would tell you as long as you have paid for the insurance with them then you are completely covered. I recommend anyone wishing to book a trip away to think how deep their pockets are as you will never receive a refund of these wasters unless you are willing to spend ludicrous fees placed before a court to which is not worth the money or hassle.”

“I feel the 1 star rating is too high for this company. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!!!! Teletext are refusing to refund hundred's of customers package holidays that were unable to go ahead due to the pandemic. This is illegal, they must adhere to the Package Holiday Regulations 2018, in which it states if your package holiday cannot commence as planned, the provider must provide a full refund for any aspects of the trip that did not go ahead as planned, or a credit voucher if the customer is happy with this. Disgusting way to treat customers. I will never book with teletext holidays, and I will make sure every person I cross is aware of what this company is doing to their customers.”

“Well what can I say, after countless calls, emails etc they are still refusing to pay back after nearly a year of false promises. I don't understand why its so hard to refund money this money? Surely its illegal what they're doing? Don't bother booking with this company, now or in the future. They cannot be forgiven for this atrocious customer service.”

“I have been waiting 7 months for a refund, I have sent you hundreds of emails, messaged you daily even taken to Twitter to get your attention & sending you a recorded delivery letter of 14 days notice of court which you ignored. You have constantly lied over what's happening even telling me my refund was processed on Monday. I am still waiting for payment your lies still keep coming. I bored of your excuses, you have caused me health issues & due to you my bank is frozen. DO NOT BOOK A HOLIDAY THROUGH TELETEXT, UNLESS YOU WANT PURE INCOMPETENCE”

“If I could give them a zero I would. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM. I booked a holiday for October. It was cancelled by the operator. Was told by Teletext that I would not get a refund until January. The refused to email me confirmation that I was due a refund and would only send a text telling me my holiday was cancelled. I have called repeatedly to find out about my refund and I am just put on hold. Today I have been put on hold for over an hour so far. The service is appalling. After using them for at least the last 10 years to book my holidays I will never give them a penny of my money again. Do not book with them”

“Had my holiday cancelled back in April 2020. 8 months later and still no closer to getting a refund. They give email addresses that don't work and put the phone down on you when they eventually answer the phone. I've spent so many hours trying to get the refund I am due by law. Stay away from Teletext holidays, they are unlawful crooks.”
