“Absolutely dreadful communication, Admitted Liability in a Small claims court award in my favour by nearly £600. I had to open a second claim. I have been waiting for the balance of the payment since May 13 this year. ( Were technically in contempt of court)
HAVE THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS ON THIS WEB SITE BEEN ERASED BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO CLOSE TO THE TRUTH?
There 5 star reviews are normally generated by invited customers (if you can believe that)
See below:“More accurate" Hoseasons Performance figures! Anyone not getting answers use the Small claims court process, they do not respond to anything else. Often ignoring the promise they made to court!
Dear Ms Brown,
Your latest 12 month average score makes interesting reading. Surely this should be posted on your website as it is ’nearer the truth!’off Trustpilot site (the bit you don’t want customers to see!)

Who is your Amaze Legal representative? Their name was not on the letter.Is that because the Legal Representatives are trying to distance themselves from the Hoseasons “Brand"? I suppose that they still have to be employable in the future?
The letters you send don't mean a "whole hill of 'clucking beans' if your customers cannot read the name of the Legal Representative. I was always taught it was polite to type the names of signatories on business letters. It could be Donald Trump signing your letters ( and probably is) for all I know!
It would appear that whoever sends these letters out on behalf of Hoseasons is unaware of business etiquette! I suppose that as you do not typically get back to customers phone calls, don't answer emails, and have no respect for long-standing customers, this should be of no surprise!
This is typical of your careless, bad-mannered approach conducting “business”! A textbook example of how not to treat your customers if you want to remain in business.
The fake reviews continue to roll in!. Hoseasons must have purchased a 'Random Fake Review Generator'? it is known as an RFRG to those in the trade. If you have a "One star reputation" it randomly generates positive reviews and “magically”posts them on Trustpilot. The RFRG ensures your “Typical 1 star" ratings can be falsely elevated to "Five stars" with the intent of attracting those who lack any ability to realise when they are being duped into parting with their hard earned cash.
If you take the Vouchers and drive miles for a holiday, what are you going to do with everywhere shut down. I wouldn’t rely on Hoseasons “Holiday insurance” we have all seen its “True value” 50% of 8u99er all!
This explains the lack of imagination in their “contrived” 5 star reviews and why they all use the same speech patterns and grammatical errors.
Some of the comments on Trustpilot giving you five star reviews would in reality never be five stars in a million light years.
Does anyone out there give people five star reviews after being repeatedly ignored, mislead and not living up to the promises Hoseasons have made, i.e. a refund that never materialise? I don't believe that people are that forgiving. The “Kiss and make up” "aren’t we the best" image is totally unconvincing and you know it. Review I.O (still hype gives you a far lower rating and very few 5 star reviews! It is like watching the Waltons reading your '5 star' reviews. You are all in LaLa Land! Things just aren’t like that in real life!
Ever heard the expression, ‘You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression?'
Incidentally, I have also copied this review to the CMA once again, who are currently investigating Hoseasons Refund ‘antics'”

“This company doesn't even deserve one star. Booked a week in a caravan at Billing Aquadrome Northampton. Been booked since September 2019. Paid £420. My cousin was due to arrive from Malta Friday 10th April to Join up with me. I got notification from Hoseasons the site will be in lockdown and recommended I should rebook within 12 months. I informed them this was not possible as this was a once off holiday for us both. They replied as I'm not taking up the offer then the holiday will be cancelled and I will lose all the money. Furthermore they suggested I contact my bank and reclaim through my travel insurance. What a disgusting company this is. It's like they're laughing up there sleeves towards the customers. Will never book with this company again. Disgusting attitude lining their pockets over a big misfortune.”
“Update: Received a phone call today from a Hoseasons rep acknowledging that I had been flexible when trying to resolve the issue of rebooking. We negotiated a change of date and park that I am happy with. I’d like to thank the lovely young lady who helped me today. However it was a shame that my experience was so needlessly negative and that Hoseasons are putting their customers and front line staff in this position. Although I appreciate their efforts today, I’m afraid I won’t be using them in the future.”
“Really great experience selecting my holiday with Hoseasons and I was really impressed with the lodge I chose. Lovely relaxing break and so many great options to chose from in one place.”
“Booked weekend break to Little Eden Country Park Carnaby a treat for our Grandsons !!!!.
A caravan with hot tub.Don't waste your money,old dated brown painted cold caravan with depressing out look onto building/construction yard on side and railway at side too. Double bed uncomfortable,mattress laid on two foldout bases,couldn't open wardrobe door as room so small,Dismal interior,main lighting only nothing nice about it. Note Hot tub cold on first night stay and luke warm following day so much for hot tub break!(Did let us use empty vans hot tub) but got grandsons so not ideal .Came home Sunday morning as so cold and uncomfortable.Don't be fooled by Hoseasons stating hot tub availability in Classic 2 you'll regret it big time.The lodges at the front of look lovely shame about whats at the back.”
