Booked Portugal with Love Holidays, got the hotel at 12am and no one was there to check us in. Called a number left on the window and no answer for an hour straight. It’s now 1am, we’re homeless in the pitch black in a foreign country. We call love holidays emergency line and explain the situation - ‘we will sort this and call back in 10 minutes’. It’s been 30 mins so we call back, same lady answers and she put the phone down. We called back at least 20 times and kept getting the phone put down, staff were even laughing. No concern, no professionalism and NO HELP. We had to search for another hotel and pay £200 for 1 night as the only hotels around were classy and expensive (as opposed to our dog house). Called love holidays next day and they tried to blame us for not telling hotel it’s a late check in HA. Got told investigation will now take 56 days. Still no sign of money, no apologies and no contact. What a disgrace of a company. Don’t be fooled by the lower prices - do yourself a favour and book with a proper agency. DISGRACE.

Love holidays were absolutely useless, I wouldn't even rate them as 1 star, I would say negative 5 star. Their website was useless, not working most of the time, operator kept coming up with wrong booking, a holiday company that doesn't actually resolve anything, we booked two holidays one for this sept and one for next april, seriously wish we had not used them, used TUI in the past but saw these online and thought we would give them a chance. SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL AND COMPLETELY USELESS, SO MUCH STRESS, NEED ANOTHER HOLIDAY WITH TUI, SO PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT AT SORTING OUT ANY ISSUES AND DATE CHANGES, TUI ARE AMAZING, LOVE HOLIDAYS NEED TO VISIT TUI AND GET SOME POINTERS ABOUT HOW TO RUN A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

If I could give no stars I would. We booked private transfer to and from hotel and airport. Our return transfer did not arrive and we were advised to get an alternative transfer by the cab company. 3.30am local time. We tried to do this, but when failed. Rang Love Holidays Customer Service rep on phone suggested we find someone Spanish to help us! Said they could not book us an alternative transfer. We were left to fend for ourselves We eventually got a taxi to Barcelona airport, but missed our flight home. We had to make own arrangements to get new flights. Love Holidays response: they have refunded our original cab fare and told us to contact airline for refund of flights. I have pointed out that airline will not give us refund as the flight left on time. We missed it because their agent did not provide the service we had paid for. They selected the transfer company. We thought we were getting a package holiday. this is clearly not the case. You are left to your own devices. We had 13 hours in Barcelona airport and are out of pocket by over £1,000 (2 adults and 3 children). Customer service is abysmal, they offered the cab fare back £117.00 then sent another email saying this has been sent. When I complained told me the matter is now closed and they will no longer correspond with me. Be warned DO NOT BOOK WITH LOVE HOLIDAYS they will leave you stranded if things go wrong. THEY DO NOT SELL PACKAGE HOLIDAYS

Worst travel company I have ever come across... I have had a very dark and depressing few years, with a lot of family stresses including health being a real negative factor. With my mum. Fighting cancer, going through chemo and my dad battling diabetes, having both his legs chopped off. I booked a holiday in April with love holidays and in August they went and cancelled the whole holiday. I contacted them and said why did you do this? They said they are sorry and that I should use the website and book it again?? I went online and I saw the holiday but it was £1200 more expensive and the luxury swim up room was no longer available. I had booked individually with my 5 of my friends and I was the instigater for the holiday but I got done bad. They said they can not do anything else for me. Not even offer me a discount. But then could book me a standard room in the hotel at a more expensive rate than I paid for the swim up. I explained my concerns above and how the holiday is needed for my mental well being and it was ignored. I am gutted I have booked multiple holidays with them. I would never use them again even if I had to. I would not recommend them to anyone. Now I know that sometimes it's the individual who ruins a companies reputation but in this case its a collective experience from multiple agents that has ruined my whole year and sent me back to my dark days.... I Hope they use this particular experience and better them selves. Its not nice feeling the way I am because of a company that's supposed to make you love holidays!

Please don’t use them! Booked a weekend break in Milan primarily because of flight time from Liverpool. Was paying in instalments. Four weeks later flight was changed to five hours later on return. Couldn’t get back to work on time. Tried to contact them but only on sms to foreign call centre. Told was airlines fault. Then got email from Ryan air to say refund given for flights. This is mysteriously sent to love holidays and not to me. Trying to contact again but again not their fault. Alternative flights are no good as it’s a weekend break so I have the option of cancelling but costing me£180 for the privaledge. I booked the break as a package because of the great flights but this has changed and they can’t provide this so why can’t I get my money back. Absolute rubbish and they aren’t even in ABTA now. Not surprising. Don’t trust them and do not use.

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. The holiday was a disaster from start to finish. LoveHolidays make it impossible for you to seek help or make a complaint. Myself and my partner are extremely unhappy with our experience over the last week. We booked this holiday in April, five months prior to the departure date. The holiday was a disaster from start to finish. To begin with, upon arriving to the hotel at 1/2am we were greeted by front desk (not a warm welcome at all). We gave our names for the booking to the man at front desk who then walked off without saying a word and another man appeared instead. He smiled and said ‘we have a problem for you’, so I thought he was joking due to the big grin on his face. He then proceeded to tell us that we had no room in the hotel we booked five months earlier. They had made a mistake on their end and we would not have a room until the following day. This was confusing due to the fact that other people on the same flight had a room without issue. He took our passports and copied them. Told us to sign form then pointed to a man and gestured for us to follow him for ‘spare room’. We naturally assumed this meant a spare room in the hotel until ours became available. We followed this man outside the hotel and told to get in a car, no logo for the hotel, with grain in the boot. He did not say one word to us and began driving away from the hotel. When we asked where he was taking us he said ‘sorry’ then mumbled in Turkish. We genuinely thought we were being trafficked. We arrived at the Phoenix Sun Hotel and approached front desk to not even be greeted. The man eventually said ‘Passport’ and stuck out his hand. He eventually told us a room number and nothing else so we began walking to find the room to be shouted at and told to stay put. Eventually someone came out to show us to our room. The room was not clean, the sheet wasn’t anywhere near big enough to fit the mattress, the toilet was filthy. We had been no information whatsoever regarding if we could have breakfast in the morning, where we were going in the morning, if we would be picked up and taken to the correct hotel. Nothing at all. When we woke up we went straight back to reception to request to be taken to the correct hotel. They said ‘10am’. We attempted to get some breakfast which was short-lived given the poor choice. We then had to ask front desk 4 times to contact our hotel and arrange for us to be taken back to our correct hotel. We were rudely shrugged off 3 times until the front desk man decided he would call Riva Bodrum. At 10:45, 45 minutes late, we were picked up by Riva Bodrum. Once we arrived to our hotel, we were shown to our room which was not as advertised at all, pictures speak for themselves. However due to the absolute nightmare that had already taken place and taken up much of our first day, we chose to let it go and try and get on with our holiday. The hotel was not as clean as it should have been. Fast forward to the final day which caused the most stress I have ever felt on a ‘holiday’. We contacted front desk to find out what time our PRIVATE TRANSFER, that we paid extra money for, would be collecting us. We were told to check a paper on the counter for our names on a list. To really go with the theme of the holiday, our names were not on the list. Front desk were helpful as ever and said ‘if your name is not on the list you have no transfer’. I went back to my room to get my booking details from my room and returned to front desk. He looked blankly at the phone and called over a colleague who then said ‘ohhh right yes, this company is very very complicated. We have many many problems with these. They do eventually show up but they do not contact us as a hotel to tell us when they will collect guests’. As you can imagine, we found very little comfort or help in this comment. The man told us we needed to go to a website called holiday taxis (even though the transfer company was supposedly called Golden Taxis) to fill out a form, which then returns a pre-populated paragraph stating they are to only be contacted by phone or live chat. There is no live chat function on the website and the phone call wouldn’t connect. The man then told us what you actually have to do is WhatsApp the number, which only someone with inside knowledge would know. So this is what we did, the WhatsApp returns an automatic response too stating it is an emergency contact centre and you must use the website. Going back to the website says again, you must use live chat (which does not exist). We received a response on WhatsApp asking for the passenger name then they confirmed pick up time was 20:45 for our 23:30 flight back to Bristol. All the while we were going back and forth trying to sort out this utter mess we paid extra for, ironically to avoid stress, a rep laughed at our stress and said ‘why try and sort this yourself when you can just ask a rep?’. After I had sorted this out myself I went to advise the rep we didn’t need his help anymore as he still hadn’t gotten any information to help. We had to check out of our room and keep ourselves busy for the day as the flight was in the night. When it came to 20:30 we spoke to two women outside who had been waiting for their transfer since 8pm and who had decided to call a taxi and pay for it themselves because they feared missing their flight (the same flight as ours). We then began feeling concerned as 20:45pm seemed to be cutting it fine for a 23:30 flight, gates close at 23:00 and the journey from the hotel was 45 minutes. It came to 20:45 and no news from the transfer. I what sapped to ask for an update to which they said ‘checking status of driver’. I continued to message until 21:05 to be totally ignored. We had to book a taxi which we had to pay for and we barely made it to the gate in time to board. I spent the last part of our holiday crying in a taxi thinking we would be stuck in the nightmare that seemed to never end which was this holiday. I could not be more disappointed in the service I have received from Loveholidays, I will never use you as a holiday provider again. Every aspect LoveHolidays have been involved with in this holiday has been a shambles. I have tried to ask for support in how to make a complaint to be responded to in a nonsensical sentence. LoveHolidays' policy not to allow customers to make a complaint until 48 hours after they have returned home is quite frankly wrong. The 'post travel query box' only allows 300 characters which is also utterly wrong.

I am disgusted i had booked a holiday to go on 24th September 2022 and 6 hours before my flight it got cancelled. We were offered a refund but that for me is not acceptable so near to departure. They did not even refund us the insurance we had taken out with them either. I will be taking this further as i have taken time of work and was all packed ready today. Will never love holidays again or wizz air

Thieves! Scammers! Everything they were involved in went to pot! Shocking support and help. Their best department is accounts with taking your money. Not great at repaying it though.

Booked a private villa with private pool. Very excited, on arrival find that we are in a bungalow apartment on a complex? Loveholidays no help at all, despite screenshots of the entire booking process (As we always do!) they insist we did not book the private villa (Paid for it though?) There is a reason they are no longer members of ABTA - book at your own risk.

Blaming myself firstly for not reading reviews on the hotel loveholidays sent me to but boy were my eyes open once I looked at trip advisor. Loveholidays are still sending ppl here knowing full well how dirty and disgusting the Aegean Park Hotel Marmaris is. Contacted loveholidays very unhelpful customer service is diabolical. We were charged £40 to change rooms out of a stinking sweaty box room which stinks of sewage. This place has not been cleaned in a long long time trust me. Beds filthy rooms filthy. Electrics hanging off walls. Absolute death trap. Ceiling in shower leaking through lights. Food disgusting half cooked. Same food out morning noon and night. Never wipe tables. Toilet smell is unbelievably bad. All inc is a joke we couldn’t eat a thing it was so dirty. My daughter cried every day. Receptionist very rude and also overcharged us for the room change and refused us a receipt until the manager (who refused to even speak to us) approved it. Loveholidays contacted the hotel who denied the whole monstrosity and loveholidays basically went with their side of story was offered £50 refund for the room change and was told if I accept that would be case closed as far as they were concerned. Indeed it is not. I’ve contacted a legal representative as I have pics of everything, phone numbers of other ppl and will take this further. Rep turns up at midday on day I was checking out to see me. What good is that I’m ready to leave now. Terrible terrible holiday from start to finish. Local shop owners and vendors are well aware of this hotels bad reputation but loveholidays continue to send unsuspecting holiday makers here. It’s just not on we are just coming out of a worldwide pandemic but yet these ppl clean nothing. I’m being ignored now by loveholidays but hey ho I’ll take it down the legal route instead. SHAME ON YOU LOVEHOLIDAYS. Taking peoples money and then doing nothing when there’s a problem. I would say 95% of folk there were not happy. Nobody cares as they already have your money. I’ll never use this company again

The prices of holidays are cheaper then other online travel agents, but.... you will pay big price after if you choose them. Customer servise is just horrible. Impossible to get through to them. Also, when you connect to them , they very unhelpful and rude. Problem we had: 1. We couldn't get the conformation of the trip for around 2 weeks. And they wasn't responding in the chat. You have to be like 50-70s in the queue minimum. But if you close the window, chat will disappear. So you have to start again 2. My friends have upgrated the room and paid more. They got the same standart room. They didnt get compensation even they talked to advisers. The hotel didn't have those rooms at all. So they were selling something that doesnt exist. 4. I paid for the transfer. And it just haven't come to pick me up. I was there very early. The receptionist was watching for my transfer. No one turned up. They had to get signuture at reception. No one turned up. The hotel called the 3 times to explain that they have cameras and no one turned up. They just blocked the hotel number! I sent them a complain , still waiting for the respond for 2 month now.

We paid for full board , but there was nothing was edible to eat , so wasted £400 for nothing & spent £400 eating out for breakfast & tea. also we paid nearly £200 extra to upgrade to a double room so our 15/16 yr old daughter had her own privacy. When we arrived we were told there are no double rooms , which meant we had to share a tiny room with 3 single beds side by side , not what you want when travelling with partner & daughter. Will never book with love holidays again after this. If you have a problem there is know direct contact number , the numbers shown just ring & ring until a message says please email …I’m back from holiday now & I still haven’t had any reply about a refund for the upgraded room that we never had. Also the room was full of ants crawling over us all night , it Ruined our holiday & caused more stress than ever , I will never book with love holidays again it was one of the worst experiences of going on holiday in my entire lifetime , FALSE ADVERTISING AND UNBEARABLE BAD COMMUNICATION.

DISGUSTING HOTEL VERIFIED BY LOVE HOLIDAYS AS 4 STAR. I have now arrived home in the UK. I need this moving to senior management right now. As I am now filing for a full refund. You put me in a supposedly 4 star hotel. The HTOP. ROYAL SUN HOTEL in Santa Susanna. This is not a 4 star hotel, I would not let a stray dog sleep in that hotel, or its rooms. The sheer ignorance from the hotel, and the audacity to think, and even imply that it was acceptable for me and my young child to sleep in them conditions was completely disgusting. The room smelled of mold, amonia, damp, and urine could also be smelled. The air con did not work at all, nor did half the hotel in fact. We had to keep window open constantly. The noise from outside, and the heat, I had no sleep for nearly 48 hours. I ended up putting the mattress on the floor, but did no good. I spent the rest of the holiday catching up on sleep. You and your incompetence ruined our holiday. Water was pouring in from the above swimming pool into the reception area, the all inclusive started at 10 am, and finished at 11pm. If you needed a drink before or after them times you was charged. The dinning room had no aircon at all, no windows, the heat was unbearable, you just sat there and sweat. It was horrendous. This holiday took me over 4 months to save for, and pay for. Might I also add I am disabled and on benefits. This was no easy task to save that money, as I went with out food at home some months. I even telephoned the hotel some two weeks before the trip, and explained to the hotel staff this was the very first holiday abroad with my only child. I hold you LOVEHOLIDAYS fully accountable for selling this holiday to me. I even telephoned your overseas number at 4a.m in the morning. I arrived at the hotel just gone 11.30 the perilous evening. I asked if a Love holidays agent could come and view the hotel and rooms, and flatly refused to do so. the room was filthy, the bath was cracked and just filled in with putty. The smell of mould was overpowering. The picture of pipe work with mould and rotting food was the last straw. How bloody dare you put me and my child into an establishment like that. Trust me when I say this, if I not given a full refund, I will smear you all over watch dog. Because I am absolutely disgusted. I am now seeking a full refund. The flights, the transfers, the seat allocations. This has cost me nearly £1500 to sleep in a place not fit for a dog, I have seen cleaner dog boarding kennels. I have been in accommodation in Rhyl for £25.00 a night better than this place. I have pictures to back this up as well. Shame I cannot upload here. They ask to allow for 56 days to investigate, but banks are restricted on the amount of time between time of sale and a dispute for money back claims. I however am not waiting for there investigation, as I have proof what they sold me was a steaming pile of s#%*e as I have pictures, and lots of them. But look at my avatar above, that's one of the pictures from the hotel room. I have now started a dispute with my bank directly. Atoll are useless, and love holidays was kicked out of ABTA, or removed. Not good. BOYCOTT NOW. There reply below just now, sums up what they are about. GOD DAM JOKE. DO NOT USE THEM EVER!!!!

Not impressed at all. I was due to fly out to Greece with a friend of mine. However, due to unforeseen circumstances of my Grandmother passing suddenly before we leave, I was unable to attend. I explained this to loveholidays, and said I understand you cannot change the flights but are you able to change the booking name at the hotel to my friend's name (who I was supposed to go with) - as she was going to be going with her boyfriend now. The operator I spoke to was very rude and they said they could not do it and I would have to cancel the whole holiday and rebook. To be quite honest I didn't understand what the big deal was? All they had to do was confirm to the hotel a change of name. NOTHING ELSE CHANGED, there would still be 2 people in the room, everyone would still get their money, I just couldnt attend and had to change the name on the hotel booking. I am utterly shocked and will not be using loveholidays at all. No compassion for the people they deal with.
