“Due to problems which I won't write down our holiday booked through Holiday Gems was a farce ( pardon my language) from start to finish. NEVER EVER will we book through them in future. Expected MUCH more from them”

“I booked a holiday online but got a call from a travel advisor the following day to say the flight prices had increased (even though money was taken out of my account). Not sure why it took a day to get back to me. I then went back onto the website and the price was still showing at the rate that I booked. The advisor (Dave) I have to say was very good and understanding of the situation, so this rating is aimed at the company and not the advisor. We then spent hours trying to find an alternative hotel and destination, but the cheapest suitable alternative was £1200 more expensive. As this was the mistake of the company I would have expected them to bear some of that cost, but no. I agreed to the more expensive holiday, only to be told that the price had increased for the new accommodation, by approx £40. At this point out of principle, I said you either stick to the price agreed for the new holiday or refund me all my money. Within a few minutes, I got confirmation of the booking, just felt like I was being drained for every penny. In hindsight maybe I should have just asked for a refund, and booked with another site. I have 2 massive family holidays to book next year, one for 12 people and another for 30 people due to their lack of taking responsibility and then squeezing me for more money, I will not be using them.”

Hello Mr Mehta we are sorry that your original arrangements increased in price. Our website does advise about the process and timescales for the completion of a booking, but we are pleased that ultimately the agent further discounted the new booking at a Company loss in order to meet the costs expected which we hope is appreciated. We’re sorry you feel we did not meet expectations and in order to explain, whilst our booking system relies on live feeds from our suppliers, brokers and airlines we are unfortunately not in control of momentary price changes, fluctuations or changes in availability provided by the same and whilst the vast majority of bookings will be confirmed without issue, we, along with many other well-known Tour Operators in the market cannot be held responsible whereby these changes affect our ability to confirm travel arrangements. In your case we can see this is exactly what happened. When you make a booking with us and prior to the point of actually confirming the arrangements for you, we “ring fence” the amount from your payment method although, and critically, we do not debit your payment type and it is only held within your account until the point of us confirming your chosen arrangement and ourselves obtaining the relevant confirmation codes from our suppliers, brokers and airlines. Should we not be able to confirm your arrangements, your order is assigned to one of our sales agents who will then investigate and try their utmost to provide you with identical or near-matched arrangements and we will offer this to you. It is then up to yourself to proceed or not, with the new arrangements. If you do not wish to proceed, we cancel your order down and release the “ring fence” amount for you. We also note in your case, you decided to proceed with the alternative and your payment type was therefore debited. Please note, our sales agent will always try to obtain the same, similar or cheaper pricing for any alternative arrangements found however, this may not be possible as once again, we are simply not in control of pricing, yield changes and availability of our suppliers, brokers and airlines. At all times, we work within strict company guidelines and always with your interests at heart. We would also like to mention that further details of the aforementioned are listed throughout the website in our Terms and Conditions to which you duly ticked when you made your online order with us. In closing, we hope the above explanation and facts helps you understand the situation which gave you cause to issue a negative review and on balance, once you have had time to digest the above, we would appreciate any amendment you could make to your review which would then be reflective of the promised service level and experience you had with us.
