“Will Never book with Hays Tavel”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Yadielz440 on 06/07/2023

Poor customer, minimal information about the holiday. They dont tell you what is included in the deal, or go onto depth about what your buying.All they talk about is the price going up to scare you into making the booking. No care for the customer, no cooling off period, I can't believe in todays world travel agents can get away with selling packages and not being held responsible for not giving information.

“Worst holiday and poor customer service to help resolve ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Jacobsxe438 on 04/05/2023

Horrendous customer service We booked to go to zante via hays travel and classic holidays provided the accommodation via them. We had the worst all inclusive holiday. We ended up eating out every day for an 11 nights stay which we hadn’t budgeted for. There was so many issues that I tried to resolve while in resort to just be passed from pillar to post by hays and classic collections. This was our first family holiday in 4 years due to covid and also the worst for us all. I had photos and videos for evidence of all the problems to name only a few, the safety in the room, room situated no view, 100’s of stairs to get to restaurants, no entertainment as stated, no food labelled , dirty pools, wasps swarming self serve drinks machine the list goes on. Truly disappointing wouldn’t even give a star to this hotel or company for their poor customer service and not trying to compensate us for all the extra cost or poor quality holiday. Hays completely passed the blame even though it was them who I booked with and who I asked all the questions to about the hotel, destination etc as never been before. Wouldn’t recommend them or classic holidays.

“Excellent service and very helpful and friendly ”

★★★★★

written by mary03 on 19/08/2022

Booked our holiday with help and advice from the agent in the Greenock Travel Agents. She listened to what we had to say, made helpful suggestions about suitable destinations and took us through the process without rushing any of it. She explained everything clearly and had such a helpful approach. We were delighted with the service and would use and Recommend Hays Travel to others.

“Terrible travel agents.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by noVaughan342 on 30/12/2020

Paid full amount to far east for March year 2020. The travel was cancelled due to covid. I asked for the cash refund on Oct as I could not see any longer, I'd be able to travel due to my age. The agent told me it was too late. Too late? I never have informed option by them. They became very defensive making all sorts of excuse to cover their backsides. Never use Hays again.

“Used once NEVER EVER AGAIN! ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by SamaraBreen on 31/03/2020

Used them once and NEVER AGAIN! Used them for the first time and NEVER EVER again! Paid a package holiday in full, due to Covid-19 I was informed I'd get a full refund, they then said I could have vouchers. Then they just vanished! Local branch have blocked me on messenger as I was trying to contact them regarding my options, the new helpline is useless they only take your details (which they already have) and promise you a call back- which never happens, they ignore you on social media....But, in the midst of all this they still have the staff and the time to put together and advertise new package holidays!! Shameful company and I will now be seeking legal advice!

“AVOID AVOID AVOID ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Turkishdelight1289 on 26/02/2020

My friend and I booked a 10 day holiday to Kuta in Bali. When we arrived, we found that the transfer driver had never heard of our hotel, and tried dropping us to 3 different hotels instead. The hotel we booked didn’t actually exist under that name, so after an 18 hour journey to get to Bali we were taken to different hotels in the area to see if any were the hotel we were meant to be staying at. Eventually we found the right one (under a totally different name) and it was actually under construction, which no one had told us about. We had to change rooms due to all the banging around, and it was still no better. When I rang Hays, no one apologised and it was made to sound as if I was being stupid. They did not offer to move us until I asked about it, and even then they said it wasn’t guaranteed that we could be moved and no compensation for being in potentially the wrong hotel was available. The area we were in was not suitable for 2 young women and every time we stepped out of our rooms we were leered at and intimidated by the construction workers under our balcony. Eventually we became so fed up that we flew home early, at a cost to ourselves and no apology whatsoever from Hays. A dreadful holiday with Hays and we would never book with them again.

“Poor customer service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Shaniya148 on 30/01/2019

I was given some gift vouchers for Hays, I couldn't use them as I was working away. They expired after a year and shortly after they expired I asked Hays if they could be renewed to which I was told no. After many emails going backwards and forwards (me chasing up my questions) I eventually got told that as the companies financial year runs from November to November they had already filed their accounts and can not extend them. They took my companies money and provided nothing for it. Their customer service is slow and they are stuck with internal procedures causing problems for their customers. I would not recommend them for gift vouchers and would not recommend their customer services either.

“Terrible”

★☆☆☆☆

written by PatrickYeates on 18/01/2019

Booked holiday for me and my dad. Booked holiday for me and my dad. Original hotel went to book was unavailable despite showing as available on website. They said despite us wanting 2 single occupancy rooms, this was impossible unless we booked 4 flights! Asked me to select another hotel. Did this and the same happened again!! I could book these direct so couldn't understand what the problem was. They then recommended me a hotel and I felt pressured into it. After reading trip advisor reviews giving it 1 star because of food poisoning and generally being terrible I phoned the following morning to cancel and they said I would lose my £100 deposit! I sent several emails and was told it was being sent to a different department and they said I wouldn't be getting my deposit back. I would never use this company again and strongly suggest you don't either.

“do not care when things go wrong”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Caldwellsg462 on 03/08/2017

We had a disastrous holiday we let them know - it took 28 days for a feeble bog standard letter to be sent which was clearly meant to pacify us - it did not they did not address a number of things in the letter we sent and had to be chased all day to respond - obviously another letter from us and another apology and app they will re look at the complaint !!!! Our personal agent was amazing - but the customer service is appalling and clearly they do not go on cruises or they would realise what a foul holiday we had - also the girl on the phone told me that they could only go on what suppliers told them - you cant sell an expensive holiday if you havent experienced it you cant tell people second hand !!! LARGE TRAVEL COMPANY AND THATS WHERE IT STOPS
