“Taken my money and I had no confirmation until I rang on the evening of the morning I was due to check in. No response to a desperate email I sent for them to confirm ASAP so I know if my booking is secure but still no reposnse. I had to book and alternative accommodation elsewhere at twice the price because it was so last minute and they are refusing to take any responsibility for their lack of communication and not refunding my money back.”

Mr Patel in accordance with the terms of your booking, money was taken as the arrangements were confirmed and this would be evident to you from your bank. We regret you did not contact us until the day of check in to clarify if you were not in receipt of confirmation which would have avoided the need to book an alternative. Since your booking with us was confirmed, there are non refundable charges we are liable for and again in accordance with the terms, we must retain the money you paid to cover them.

“I was appalled to be charged an additional £76 the day after I had booked & paid for the holiday! I was very unhappy with the whole experience. The price was obviously deliberately pitched low to pull in customers and to then slap additional charges on top of the amount already paid was very misleading. And the salesman told me this was the last room in the hotel but when I checked the next day Loveholidays AND On the Beach were advertising the same holiday in the same hotel for a LOWER price. He also told me that Loveholidays & OntheBeach have the same practice & the holidays have additional payments. This is not true. I have booked a holiday to Crete in May with Loveholidays & paid exactly the same price as was quoted. No increase in price. And booked Benidorm in April with On the Beach and also paid the same price with no additional charge AND also received free airport lounge passes. I am very disappointed with Holiday Gems.”

Janet we regret to hear this especially since you ticked to accept the terms and conditions of the website and how it operates. The price on the website is clarified as an offer to purchase the Package Holiday selected, if it is available. If the arrangements are not available because other customers have taken advantage and the lower price offer is exhausted, you are informed of the next supplier price. The prices offered on our website will fluctuate due to supply and demand which we cannot control and if suppliers chose to promote a limited number at a lower price, once they are gone, we can only give the next price. The number of rooms available to our supplier may not be the same as allocated to another tour operator which is why you found availability elsewhere. We are sorry you were not one of the fortunate customers on this occasion but can assure you that many were.

“Unfortunately I booked my holiday then an error page came up I waited and the holiday went though not to the wrong hotel in the wrong resort. I contacted them straight away and they want another £200 to change the booking I’m fuming”

Miss Fyldes we are sorry for the situation you found yourself in but it was the case that unfortunately, once you accept the terms and conditions on our website, we confirm the booking on your behalf with the details entered and this can take up to 72hrs to complete. An email with summary of your order was sent immediately despite any error you mention showed so you will have been aware. We did request the amend you wanted however as the hotel supplier had already confirmed your booking this was not possible to change without costs.

Mrs Gervis you agreed to our website terms of use and they state who we price match with, we regret you have overlooked that and that it does not include Love Holidays. Furthermore, the terms you ticked to accept state that the price on the website is clarified as an offer to purchase the Package Holiday selected, if it is available. If the arrangements are not available because other customers have taken advantage and the lower price offer is exhausted, you are informed of the next supplier price. The prices offered on our website will fluctuate due to supply and demand which we cannot control and if suppliers chose to promote a limited number at a lower price, once they are gone, we can only give the next price.
