Reviews & Experiences
Reviewers repeatedly discuss cancellations, refunds and communication rather than accommodation quality. Some customers report rapid, full refunds and helpful staff; others experienced delayed refunds, missing confirmations and a flaky website. Before booking, consumers may want to check cancellation and refund policies and keep written confirmation of bookings. If problems occur, escalate promptly and keep records of communications to support any refund claims.

Horrible Cancellation Process!!
I've used this service twice so far to plan holidays.
On the first occasion, I had problems with the website and had to phone them.
They were incredibly helpful and sorted everything out promptly.
This time though I booked online, did not have any problems at all, did not receive an email confirmation, but did get an email saying that they had canceled my booking.
When I went to rebook it stated there wasn't enough availability.
I think their cancellation policy is horrible and their website is really flaky
I am an experienced travel counselor, however, after the recent incidents, I am losing trust.
I hope this will not continue
What reviewers often mention
Service quality
Service experiences are mixed but skew negative: some customers praised prompt help and refunds, while others report poor cancellation handling and lost trust.
Value for money
Reviews do not address price or perceived value explicitly; commentary focuses on operational issues like cancellations and refunds rather than cost.
User experience
One reviewer reported a flaky website and missing confirmation emails, affecting the booking experience and causing extra calls to customer service.
Product quality
There are no comments about the quality of holiday accommodation or on-site services in these reviews.
Communication
Communication is inconsistent: some customers received clear confirmation and fast emails, while others report no notice and having to chase refunds.
Overall experience
Overall impressions diverge: one strong positive refund experience contrasts with two reviews describing delays, cancellations and reduced trust.
