APPALLING BEHAVIOUR A week before celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary in Barbados, mum sadly passed away. Obviously this meant we would have to defer our celebration. We contacted Love Holidays who asked us to commit to another date. We said now isn’t the time but ‘any time next year’ would be okay. They explained we would have to or lose all our money. So we picked a date in January but explained we wouldn’t be going then. This cost £25, no problem so far. Three days later they came back to say that date wasn’t available, again we said any date would be fine. They insisted we gave them three more dates. On the day of mums funeral they once again came back saying all those dates were not available. I explained today was mums funeral again they explained that they understood but we would lose the full amount of our booking if we didn’t give 3 more dates. We even said given their booking issues we would go to the Paphos as well as Barbados as an alternative, three days later whilst grieving they once again returned to say those dates were not available in either destination. Doubting this we rang the Mango Bay Beach Resort hotel in Barbados directly and were told,’yes’ definitely the rooms we booked on the dates we requested were available. We called Love Holidays who disagreed with our findings. By now the idea of celebration has completely disappeared. We rang to get through to ‘customer complaints department’ but it seems Love Holidays don’t have one! You guessed it, we were asked once again for three more dates. Three days later we received another call ‘yes we have a room at the Mango Bay Beach hotel on one of the dates. Great we’ll book it. However as the conversation developed yes we had a room but not the specification we had booked for our Anniversary it was much less by a road. It was also a little more expensive. When we crunched the numbers it was 40% more expensive or an extra £1,700!! We once again complained and eventually they said our issue had been escalated (not sure who to?). Two weeks passed with no feed back. I called them back again and the gentleman told me he had asked for this issue to be given more focus. That was seven days ago…NOTHING. All we want is a room of the same spec as originally requested any date next year (and is available according to the hotel) or a different destination, again we have given them all the details and dates for an alternative destination, for roughly the original budget we gave them. Or if this is not possible we understand, please return our monies whichever suits Love Holidays best. Their behaviour and lack of empathy at such an emotional time for ourselves has been appalling and incredibly upsetting… and it is still continuing. They are happy to take your money but not happy to help. DONT, DONT, trust this company. They are not a Travel Agent in the true sense of the word but an intermediary. I’ll let you know if this gets resolved, but in the meantime we will be taking our issue to other social channels to warn others. We have now taken legal advice and will be taking this much further.

Customer service is the worst ending the call in mid just because couldn’t resolve what they advertised wrongly , misleading information and tell you they going to get it investigated but end up not doing nothing no information nothing ..

Modern day highwaymen! Had to leave early due to an unsanitary hotel with a cockroach infestation and water pouring out of the air-conditioning system. Given a second room, just as bad. Refusing to enter any conversation as we ended the holiday early apparently "Terminating our contract with them". Trading standards next . Don't waste your hard earned money. 3k for 6 days in a place only suitable for . I'm a celebrity get me out of here and Hotels from Hell!!

Very bad service. They are cheap but you will end up paying more, for flights check in and luggage and other stuff. I booked my holiday with them and was threatened by the hotel security and staff. When I raised the issue with them they were aggressive towards me. I have a video as evidence, but love holidays said I should've called the British embassy when the hotel staff trying to keep us prisoners. If we're were going to police then I had to loose my flight and transfer to the airport... very bad 👎 😕

I advise any reasonable person to avoid any contact with this company. Look for vacations anywhere but no with them. The consultants lie, provide false information, and manipulate customers. This is the worst experience I have ever had with customer service.

I originally booked a holiday to Tunisia for 5 people, total cost £3100. Due to some security concerns from female passengers I decided to amend to go to Spain instead. I followed their procedure and re-booked the flights with EasyJet and paid them the cost of change directly. I chose a new hotel and was then charged a total holiday price of £4,383.88. Exactly the same holiday with the same hotel and same configuration was available on the loveholidays site for £3052.57 at exactly the same time. I phoned up to query and they gave some excuse about 'live' prices - but those two prices were available at the same time. I would expect to be charged a reasonable amount to switch but this is completely unacceptable. Bear in mind that they will fleece you and not care for such amendments. There is no good reason for such a charge when the same holiday is available for so much less at the same time I would not book with them again, left a really sour taste for a family holiday that I was really looking forward to I did a web chat with someone, no help whatsoever and then they just cut me off, customer service is atrocious The way they lead you through the hotel change is very sly. They get you to pick a hotel first and you would reasonably expect that the price will be what you see on the website. They then get you to change your flights directly with the airline and confirm that you have done that (which of course means paying more money to the airline direct). Only then do they present the inflated hotel price. So then you are stuck. You either need to lose money by paying the inflated price or cancel altogether meaning losing everything

We have gone to Malta twice and to Teneriffe with Love Holidays and have had very good value amazing holidays. They offer far more flexibility in terms of travel dates than other agents, they are very good value.

Live chat with a person on Love holidays after flights were changed to completely different dates therefore needing to cancel. Rude and unprofessional they ended the live chat before they had answered my query even denying flights had been changed. Why do customers have to do all the leg work!!! Would give zero stars if able to.

I booked Holliday to Istanbul on the 2 end of October for six days, I was sent to a disgusting hotel the room was not fit for a dog. When I complained I was refunded 15 pounds that was an insult. They didn’t care about what you reported to them. No care in the world.

Do not waste your money with this company. They booked our flights on different days to our hotel check in and check out dates then refused to help or give us a refund, they said it was our problem to change the flights if we wasn’t happy even though they APPARENTLY booked us a PACKAGE holiday. Absolute disgrace. No holiday and no refund. Customer service is disgusting. They just want your money, they don’t care about your family’s holiday

The worst company ever. We booked holiday in June. On Saturday the 19th when we arrived in the hotel we were told hotel is overbooked and they send us to alternative hotel 4.5km away from the one we booked and is nothing as the one we bookend. They told us booking window was closed in February however Loveholdays didn’t and let customer overbooked. After complaining so many time via chat and emails all the reply they gave us is speak with the hotel and ask them to sort the issue. The most unreliable agency and I will never ever book with them.

We booked an all inclusive holiday to Tunisia with Love Holidays. We arrived at the hotel and it was certainly not as advertised. The hotel (Shem Village) should come with a health warning! The hotel room was like a dungeon and not like the image of the one we supposedly booked. The complex was poorly maintained, the pool was slimy, the bar and resteraunt was like school hall serving food which was not identifiable and of very poor quality. We stayed an hour, tried explaining our problems to the most unhelpful member if staff. We wasn't going to spend any more time in this awful place, so had no choice but to find better accommodation. All the other hotels in the area were booked up so paid extra for an apartment for two days before booking the next available plane home. Tried speaking with a LH representative who wasn't helpful at all!! Won't be using Love Holidays again and will be advising everyone else not to use them. Spent a lot of money for a 7 night all inclusive only to arrange additional accommodation and an early flight home! Disgusting!

Do not book with loveholidays. Airline changed our flight I accepted the flight change which meant that we needed to stay an extra night in our hotel. Love holidays wanted to charge me €700 more to stay an extra night in hotel, I explained that I had rang the hotel directly and explained the flight situation and they were only changing €200 for extra night. They would not help at all so I cancelled the entire holiday. They are scammers and will take your money at the first opportunity they get. Never again will I use them.

Word of warning they mis advertise hotels based on (second hand info) info they present on their website not being their information, honestly you do yourself a favour and stay away Many more reviews incoming 😎

Don't deal with this so called company, they will steal your money at the 1st opportunity and you can't do nothing because they have you on a leash by paying monthly settlements. I have booked a 10 nights 5 🌟 all inclusive with flights ant airport transfers for 3 passengers in Dominican Republic. After few weeks we get an email saying that the flying company cancelled our return flight so they need to book another flight saying that maybe I have to pay something extra and there's no refunds from the hotel. I reply that I'm happy with that and they booked for us a flight one day earlier with no extra money. I thought that maybe the hotel policy is "no refunds" so we were thinking that our checkout is at 12:00 o'clock and our transfer for the outbound flight is at 15:00 o'clock so we would enjoy lunch and a few drinks for the 3 of us and no need to wait 3 hours on the reception with baggage that's because we have paid for 10 nights but unfortunately we are leaving after 9 nights. And here's where we get it wrong, because the so called company above changes our checkout 1 day early. So the hotel doesn't get my money for one day extra and I don't get the refund. At this point my money are going in their pockets and they are telling me "we are sorry for your frustration, is been a pleasure chatting with you today, have a good day". They don't even try to meet me at half way ( a voucher or something similar). Just told to shut up and take it. Lesson learned. Never again with those thieves. Date of experience: 17 October 2024

Sorry but our family have booked with love holidays we will never ever book again after changing our Hotel as we wanted salou,the list is endless on this trip our transfers left me stranded at our hotel even though we had a private transfer our airport should have been changed when they sent us email for the new hotel our transfer was 2 hours away I'm disabled and had to ring around email to see where he was apparently there was a accident when he arrived at this point we was a hour half late at this point we knew we would miss our flights so I'm crying at this point we was in traffic j asked the Spanish driver to call the airport as we were in a 70 km standstill near Barcelona this man nearly went in the other side if the road he had fallen asleep but my partner seen him on his phone at this point I screamed told him I'm anxious and need the toilet when we arrived the gate was closed I'm disabled and had to run which absolutely killed me I needed the toilet but had to go through security our plane was boarding so I was so relieved the hotel we had was a dive staff were rude our names were not down when we had arrive at 2 in the morning so that holiday was hell,we were full board but had to eat out last 4 days so spent 500 euros on just food drinks were made with tap water I'm still poorly now seeking medical attention with bloating sickness hot cold sweats constant toilet trips food was awful 😖 never stay at pineda palace hotel Barcelona it's not a 4 star wouldn't put a animal in that room beds were hard fridge broken 4 th floor lifts kept breaking or either full with people. Never again I've made a complaint total shambles sorry I've spoken with friends and family to never book you through love holidays I will be taking it further as our private transfer nearly killed us going over cones on the motorway it's made me feel like bever going away.

If I could give love holidays a 0 I would. We arrived at our hotel to be told there was no room for us. 2 nights we had to spend at another vile hotel. I spent the majority of the holiday on the phone to love holidays. Constantly told someone would call me back, nobody ever did. Contacted the post holiday team who couldn't care less. No apology, no offer of compensation NOTHING!!! Will not be booking with them again
