“Spent 2 hours on hold and still spoke to nobody about my issue. Tried the customer service messages but after a week it's clear the staff responding don't have a firm grasp of english. They have overcharged me by £220 by adding an extra option of self catering over room only when all rooms are self catering. I am going to cancel my booking and will pay more to go with someone else just for the peace of mind.”

“Quite dissatisfied and disappointed with this company. Booked accomodation and car transfer (Antalya).Traveled on 27th of June 2018. More details to follow. This post will be edited at later stages and I will explain in detail what is wrong with this company . This review will help many people because I will go and explain everything in a quite granular level.”

“Terrible company. Will never use this again. So many issues from the minute we got off our flight. Transfers were a joke, sort your s**t out and manage it better. It’s not hard!”

“The worst service I've ever used and that's saying something considering the flights we booked were also with Ryanair. They completely messed up the booking, I have the booking information to show that everything on our end was fine, but we still had to pay over £300 to change the bookings due to their fine print. Nothing they could do to help, apparently, even though it was their fault entirely.”

“Avoid these like the plague. Advised hotel we booked no longer available, offered alternative, lower in price and lesser in every way. Note to Travel Republic:- if we had wanted to stay in the alternative hotel, we would have booked it in the first place. Customer service abysmal, never ever use this company”

“Useless! Booked my holiday with extra leg room and one bag. None of it has been registered now I need to find £170 two days before my holiday. Very misleading website I won’t use them again and I wouldn’t advise anyone else to either.”

“I have a booking to go to Dubai and I booked in January. I asked could I change the hotel and take someone off the booking which would mean one room instead of 2. I checked in there website how much the whole holiday would be for a new booking and it was coming up as £1000 cheaper even though the flights have now gone up since we bought ours. Travel republic are saying we would need to pay an extra £1200 to change which makes no sense as it’s actually a cheaper holiday! They are just absolute robbers and getting away with it. I’d never book with them again!!”

“I was fortunate... my complaint was over something very minor - a transfer - but it still takes a month!!!! And if you chase them they point to their rules that say it will be a month... praise the Lord it wasn't something major... certainly wont use them again.”

“Terrible service. Booked a hotel and received a booking confirmation email. A few days later I get a text saying that a different hotel was booked by mistake. I was then offered a hotel in mainland Spain as an alternative (The hotel I booked was in Ibiza). I was told I could be refunded or take the hotel in mainland Spain. Those were my only two options and legally that's all they had to offer. So I had to book a more expensive place last minute in Ibiza. Avoid this company. They do not operate under the same rules as a regular travel agent and they do not offer compensation despite the entire issue being their mistake. Read your terms and conditions before booking, they are ridiculous.”

“I made a booking with travel republic only to be told weeks later the price was being hiked up by over £1000 because a child would be 13 not 12 at the time of travel. Despite repeated requests they would not give any explanation as to what the increase was for or any breakdown. You cannot easily communicate with them, by phone its very costly. They don't just email you, you need to log into their online system to read and reply to messages, which would not work on my iphone while away. It's not live chat so can take them days to reply, 5 days the indicate- which to me is unacceptable when you are missing the chance to obtain a booking elsewhere. I ended up cancelling the whole booking and booking again with another company for the same hotel with the same age 13 children and for the original lower price. Still no idea what they were playing at!”

“I booked through Travel Republic then found the exact same deal £150 cheaper on another site. Travel Republic offer a price guarantee so I emailed them to claim. The response stated that since the website was only ATOL protected and not ABTA protected they would not honour the price. ABTA is only for rail, cruise and self drive holiday which does not apply in my case. It doesn't make it clear in their terms and conditions that they have to have both.”

“Absolutely terrible service ! I contacted them to move my holiday day following an unexpected family bereavement. The customer service representative showed a total lack of empathy and compassion in her emails. I compared the price I had paid to the new date and there was very little difference, only a few pounds. I expected to pay an amendment fee but was shocked when a further £570 was requested to simply change the date. When I asked for a breakdown of the extra costs The CS person only known as Jessica closed down my request which meant I was unable to accept or refuse it !! The death of a close family member is a very stressful and upsetting time . This person Jessica added untold stress and upset to the situation. We are now faced with going on a holiday of a lifetime which was meant to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary before the date of the funeral. This is now not going to be an enjoyable holiday . Simply moving it at a reasonable cost would have meant so much to us. I will never use this company again and would certainly not recommend it to anyone .”

“We booked a holiday to Dublin during the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. We flew with Flybe from Southampton to Dublin, and the return flight with British Airways to Heathrow. We paid for one suitcase each (hold luggage). On arrival at Southampton airport, we were told that only one suitcase had been paid for, and that we would have to pay £40 for the second suitcase. On the return flight, BA said that we had not paid for any hold luggage so would have to pay 150 Euros. Thanks Travel Republic.”

“I don't know how you can take my money tell me thank you for booking. When I get to the hotel they don't even have my booking confirmation. Topez malta didn't even show me any kind of help. Used all my phone credit to try ring you to sort it out. Then had to buy a card from the reception desk to call you again. And am told you can't book me even after taking my money from my bank account. Its the last time me and my family and friends will use traval Republic again. I always told everyone to use your site. Never again will I say this to anyone never its not good. After my bad experience with your company. Justinwest@mail.com”
