“Worst travel agents ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Hmgreig on 28/07/2020

This company have a cheek calling themselves travel agents. I have had nothing but incompetence from any of the agents I have eventually manage to track down. They dont reply to emails, phone calls letters except to occasionally robbing you off with a selection of excuses This has been going on since March. Due to Covid our holiday was cancelled and I requested a full refund as was my right but so far, 5 full months later I am still waiting. I realise and appreciate that the situation was not their fault but their customer service needs serious attention.

“AVOID AVOID AVOID ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by kerryannlancaster on 21/01/2020

Only given a one star because the option wasn’t there to give zero! This company did not book on our baggage on to our holiday and on arrival at the airport we had to pay a further £400. The airliner said this was a common issue with travel agents and gave us a receipt to obtain a refund after our holiday. Turns out nobody at global hoppers wanted to acknowledge the issue and after 20 days we were issued just a partial refund! They refused to pay the full amount we were out of pocket. Completely unprofessional AVOID AVOID AVOID

“Extremely Bad Travel Agent, Go elsewhere”

★☆☆☆☆

written by dhvelpatel on 11/10/2019

Extremely bad. Was promised 7 night stay in Turkey with upgrades for room. Got to the hotel to find out they did not have our reservation. Waited 12 hours in the lobby until I could get through to this rubbish team (including time difference), made several calls Had to communicate between hotel owner and this agent (communication difficulties) for hours before I could check in. Was now booked in for 6 nights as I lost the first night, and charged for 7. Complained over phone and email for compensation, got limited response. Waited over 30 days with no resolution. Avoid yourself the hassle. Do not book with Global Hoppers ever. Unprofessional and Unreliable.

“Terrible customer service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Morrison297 on 08/07/2019

Worst customer service company I have ever booked a holiday with. I had to cancel 2 people off our original booking but due to certain circumstances the 2 people could travel again. My original holiday for 6 passengers cost €3300 but in the end for one extra passenger, totalling 7 passengers ended up costing me €5040 and now one week prior to travelling, the company has informed me that I now only have 5 flights secured as the 2 previously cancelled were never added back onto the booking. I now have one week until my family holiday and accommodation secured but NO flights for 2 of my children even though its cost me over €5000 for a one week holiday to Spain!! Absolutely no respect whatsoever for their customers and put all the blame on me. And now apparently there is no refund as I cant go on holiday and leave 2 of my children behind!!Totally stressed and was looking forward to my family holiday and lost all my hard earned money for nothing in return!!!

Written on: 22/02/2019

We are very sorry you were disappointed with your holiday but we do indeed care a great deal about our customers and we very much regret that you presently believe otherwise. We are not ourselves service providers – our sales team would have explained before you made your booking that we act only as agents and play no part in the actual provision of flights or hotels. However, if you were unhappy at your hotel, you would have had a voucher with numbers to call in the event that you required assistance. We hope you requested help but if you remain dissatisfied we will be happy to take up your concerns with the service provider. I’m sure you’ll understand it’s impossible to be more specific without further details so please contact us via the above link and we will make sure your complaints are investigated and answered.

“Global Hoppers won't refund when ABTA say they should”

★☆☆☆☆

written by dkintheuk on 07/01/2019

I had my holiday cancelled as a result of the Gatwick drone incident. I tried to get my holiday fully refunded because I could not arrange alternative flights as there were none available so the whole holiday was lost. Global Hoppers refunded the flight almost immediately, but I later found out that they only refunded because they had got their money back from Easyjet immediately as well. They refused to refund the hotel cost of over £2,000. I asked ABTA and they said that the holiday was booked as a package and that they are fully liable to refund the whole holiday amount under these circumstances. I contact them again and they have said we need time to get our money back from our supplier. That is complete rubbish, to be frank, they have to refund even if they don't get their money back and they should be insured against this sort of thing. I would never use them again, watch out because they advertise under hundreds of other names but are the same company underneath. Look them up on ABTA's website to see their parent company Broadway Travel and the massive list of trading names.

We are so sorry that your holiday had to be cancelled because of the drone incident. We appreciate this caused many people enormous inconvenience and that some, like yourself, had to forego their plans completely in the end.

Unfortunately, this was – for everyone concerned – an unprecedented situation. No-one was clear as to whether refunds would come from service providers or insurers and that was why there was a short delay before some refunds could be processed. However, once we had clarification from the relevant sources, refunds were passed on to customers immediately, and we trust your own payment has now been processed and your complaint resolved.

I Worst travel agents ever. We booked 16/10/18 all in inclusive we paid then they took an extra £400 they changed hotel did not tell us when we saw what they had done to get back to the regional hotel they made us pay the extra £400 Would never book with them again,hotel was not what they said or the all inclusive wasn't. We went to Portgual mutha clube Praia de oura. We booked with global hoppers worst ones ever we have made a formal complaint. Be very careful if you book with them. First time last time

Ghcustomeservice's Comment

It is impossible to properly address your complaint as we do not know the booking detail nor the circumstances under which an additional charge may have been payable. However, customer satisfaction is of immense importance to us and we are therefore glad to see that you have made a formal complaint which we presume has already been submitted to our customer service team. We can assure you that the points you raise will be investigated and that you will receive a full response from our team once those investigations have been concluded.

“nightmare holiday ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by kaddybarr on 23/10/2018

Me and my Husband was looking so forward to this holiday as we have,nt had one for 2 years because i have been really poorly ,so we booked an holiday to FERENIKI RESORT in Greece never been to GREECE before AI holiday great but no it was,nt because the hotel did,nt have a restaurant or a bar we had to walk 5 mins to our restaurant and bar and not just our hotel there was 3 hotels shareing this restaurant and bar i have c.o.p.d so i can,t walk far first morning went for breakfast carrots mix,veg,jelly Blancmange for breakfast.plates omg was dirty thats when there was some same as the cups the floor in the restaurant was wet 2 people fall down the ramp we had to walk down with our meals and the eveing meal was even worse people where sat on the floor because there was,nt any tables left so we went out for our meals after that it was like feeding time at the ZOO there must have been what 800 people sharing this restaurant if not more we came back one night and saw them queing outside in the rain because they put a man and the bottom off the ramp you walk up into the restaurant putting a rope across to stop people going up and every time someone came out he let some in but alot was staying because that was the bar as well and only one man behind the bar so you only got half of a small glass because there was that many waiting.so it cost us twice as much for this holiday,also i have never been in a hotel where the cleaners don,t make the beds she just put the sheet on the bed and we had to make it, but she was the only cleaner in our hotel then she went to the other hotels and cleaned there the night we left she was going into another room to clean and it was 20.35 thats what you call a bloody long day.this as really put me off going to Greece again i will stick to TURKEY. so please please do not book this hotel and as before you do book if the hotel as a bar and restaurant in your hotel but then again global hoppers should have told me there was,nt before i booked

We are so sorry that you were disappointed with your hotel. However, Globalhoppers act merely as an agent for service providers – we do not have direct contact with hotels and we play no part in their day-to-day operations. We give customers the descriptions of properties that have been submitted to us – and which are readily available on-line for customers to check independently. We don’t write those descriptions but, like all agents, we make bookings for customers in good faith on the understanding that accommodation as described will be supplied. However, in case problems arise, we give all customers a voucher with our number on it and the number of their service provider so they can always get help if they need it. If you had called us or your service provider from the hotel, your service provider would have ensured that any concerns you had were dealt with locally – or they may even have moved you to a different property if that was a viable option. It is impossible to take action when your holiday has already ended but if you do have any complaints that you would still like answered please contact us via the above link so we can pass them to your service provider to address.

We are so sorry to hear that you appear to have been moved when you arrived at your hotel. However, we play no part in operations overseas, so this change would not have been actioned by Globalhoppers. Please contact us via the above link if you have not already done so in order that we can investigate your complaint. We will then ensure that it is fully addressed .

We are very sorry indeed that you had such a negative experience during your holiday. However, you would have been advised before your booking was accepted that we are not ourselves service providers. As agents, we play no part in hotel operations overseas and that is why we give you an accommodation voucher so you can call us/your service provider for assistance if you have problems when you are away. It is impossible for us to be specific on the points you raise, as we have no details of your booking, but if you were offered another hotel this would have been based on the availability and room rates showing on a supplier’s website at the time you enquired. If the supplier no longer had availability at the point of confirmation all we could do would be to explain this and refund any payment immediately. As we have said, we cannot be more specific without further information, but since you clearly remain dissatisfied please contact us via the above link so we can approach your service providers regarding the hotel you booked – they will investigate your claims and respond accordingly.

“False advertising ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by gillianlamarra on 11/09/2018

The hotel they suggested is a disgrace. Staff rude. All inclusive is a small plastic cup you have to keeping taking back. Long queues for food in the morning and night. Room insanely basic, no plug for the bath and the shower has no stand so you have to hold it about your head. Bar area badly leaking water. Never again

We are so sorry the hotel did not live up to your expectations.

We are so sorry that your hotel was unavailable. As our agent would have explained before any transactions went through, Globalhoppers are not service providers. We act only as agents for the providers of the services that make up your holiday and sometimes – very rarely - vacancies which are showing when we accept payment may no longer be available when we confirm the booking with the service provider. Under those circumstances, all we can do is advise the customer immediately and give them a full refund so they can make alternative bookings elsewhere. The refund would have been processed our end straight away but the transaction may take up to three days to show up on your statement. As we have said, this does not happen often, but we apologise once more for any inconvenience or disappointment caused on this occasion.

“Terrible way to treat a potential customer”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mqMcCormack441 on 16/08/2018

I phoned Global Hoppers yesterday about a holiday package to Turbo Club aparthotel, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria in September. The agent was rude, vaguely giving details about package. He was intimidatingly pushy, wanting to get me book the holiday with him. Took several minutes and multiple asking till he revealed the price "only for me" being £999 for the 2 of us. I checked the same holiday package on TUI's website, £470 all inclusive, so £940 in total, with transfer included. After Global Hopper's agent revealed the price he was insisting for me to confirm booking. When I politely refused the offer he asked me what was the reason behind my decision? Told him that I was going to check the price with other agencies too (which I had already done but didn't want to be rude and reveal my real reasons). At this point his tone of voice changed, becoming really intimidating, annoyed and almost arrogant, with an attitude "how dare you not booking with me?" then he simply hung up the phone, without even saying the bare minimum Good Bye. Lacked any customer service skill and simple social manners. Even if they had any bargain offers I can assure you I will definitely avoid them in future. If that's how I got treated as a potential customer what will happen if I ever had any requests or complaints about holidays??? Shame and disgrace

Ghcustomeservice's Comment

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Our agents are trained to provided knowledgeable support and advice to customers and to treat them with courtesy at all times. We are sorry you did not ask to speak to a Manager straight away if you were dissatisfied so the agent could be identified and the call checked as your experience is not in any way representative of the service we usually offer. We apologise, but – despite your present reservations - we hope you won’t be deterred from trying us again. We have access to some great deals and we hope that next time your call and subsequent exchange will have a much happier and more positive outcome.

“Poor customer service and lack of empathy ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 270Dunn on 31/07/2018

I am writing to complain about the customer service skills of your agents. I called to check the price of the holiday and the advertised price increase by a lot of money when I’d already given my card details and not had chance to confirm details with my friend. I called up to change the booking to a week because my nan was poorly and end of life. They had no compassion and lacked empathy and Were not interested in helping explore different avenues regarding changing the holiday whether it was reducing it to a week or changing the date it seemed like it was too much hassle. Yet the advertised price on the website was a 1/3 of what they was expecting to pay. They advised that reducing the holiday to the week would only reduce the holiday cos by £148 for four passengers. Which that would give the royal of 1900 and the price advertised on the website at the current time was much less than hey had quoted! And the hotels being advertised on the website enquiries where made and they said wasn’t possible to change to that even tho was still available. My experience of the agents are poor and none of them want to help you and feel like they couldn’t be bothered! 

Ghcustomeservice's Comment

Written on: 29/08/2018

We are very sorry indeed that you felt our agents were unsympathetic. It is difficult to give you a specific response as we have no details relating to your booking, but it is important to clarify that we are agents and not service providers and we therefore have no control over suppliers’ cancellation and amendment policies. We tell all customers before any bookings are processed that if they subsequently cancel or amend they will be charged. That can be up to 100% of the original invoiced cost. If you changed a holiday duration, that would mean new flights would need to be booked (low cost flights are non-refundable) which would negate almost wholly any gain you would make from the hotel amendment – and the charges from the hotel might also be high if you were amending close to the date of departure. As we have said, it’s impossible to be specific without more information, but if you remain dissatisfied please feel free to contact us via the above link, so we can look into your complaint and address your concerns in more detail.

“My flight has been cancelled and this company would...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by O'Neal1973 on 20/07/2018

My flight has been cancelled and this company would not help in any way to rearrange my flight Home . My hotel was not a 4star as stated and wanted Me to pay and extra £650 to move to another hotel I’m costa Brava. Would not recommend to anyone to use. I have had to call Ryanair many Times to try re arrange flights home as this company would not.

In the absence of any booking detail, we can only stress that we are agents and not flight or accommodation providers. As agents, we accept payment on behalf of your service providers but it they who undertake to supply flights and hotels. If your flight was cancelled it is therefore your airline that would be responsible for arranging alternatives – we could not do this on their behalf.

With regard to hotels, the star ratings are those we are given by your service provider. And if - after your booking was confirmed - you wanted to move to a different property, your service provider would determine the cancellation/amendment charges that then apply.

We trust this makes our position clearer but if you have any remaining concerns please contact us via the above link and we will be happy to address them.

“Charged for non existant service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by brianhc23 on 08/06/2018

The following email was sent to globalhoppers on 28 May. Further to my conversation with your agent today, I am emailing to complain about the fact that I have been charged for a service that did not exist. On the 7th May I booked a holiday with your company at the Blue Sea Hotel Argyrades Beach, Corfu, your ref... At the time of booking your agent stated that the room we had booked was a corner room and of standard quality and if we upgraded on arrival we would be charged £200.00 each, ie £400, but if we upgraded then we would get a superior room with the choice of either a sea view or a pool view for only £49.00 each ie £98.00 so we opted to pay and asked for a sea view. On arrival at the hotel we found that there are no "Superior" rooms and none of the rooms face the sea. Only 1 room faces the pool and that had been booked since last year. The room we had faced an unsightly ramshackle bungalow which had a chicken coop in the yard. As you can clearly see from the attached photo of you own Accommodation Voucher, it clearly states Double bed with sea view as a request. We paid £98.00 for this as an extra, not a "REQUEST" and as such expect a refund for services not provided. Yours, No reply has been received so I tried to email again today, but it keeps bouncing back to me. Either the email adress has been ditched or I am being Blocked. Very poor customer service / support

Firstly, we can confirm that our email address is unchanged so we hope that by now you have successfully contacted our customer service team. We are very sorry that your room was not as expected but would clarify that we are not accommodation providers. We are only agents for the companies with whom reservations are made and it is they who supply hotel descriptions and any offers which may be available at the properties concerned. As part of your documentation, you would have been given an accommodation voucher with your supplier’s number on it and an instruction to call them if any problems arose. We hope you did so, but if you have any further complaints that remain unanswered please contact us via the above link so we can take your concerns up with your service provider.

“Starts off cheap- Globbal Hoppers are clever to make money”

★★☆☆☆

written by Ava454 on 04/06/2018

Booking started off easy with Globbal hoppers. We had our emails confirmed and all set to go. However the closer we get to the holiday the more complicated things get. Global shoppers check in for you, this is unecessary but did not think much into it till now. 3 days before we depart and no boarding passes, after a few pressing urgent emails they have been sent over but the seats do not sit me and my partner together. We called global hoppers and they said that we can pay £72 to book our seats together there and back as THERE ARE SEATS TOGETHER AVAILABLE ON THE FLIGHT. This has made me very annoyed. It looks like global hoppers insist on checking you in to your flight, this means that they can book your seats seperately and then they make a financial gain from you. I know companies need to make their money but they purposefully prevent you from checking in yourselves to your flight company by not giving you the information, therefore forcing your hand. What a shame, I had high hopes for the company and my service was good up until now, now I feel cheated and wish I had booked with others.

We would stress that we are not ourselves flight providers and therefore all we can do is comply with our customers’ airlines’ pre-departure procedures. We check in for customers whenever possible so that the process is completed successfully and in order to avoid the harsh penalties that apply if passengers arrive at the airport without boarding passes. Unfortunately, on-line check-in can often only be completed a few days before departure unless one pays a supplement, and many airlines also charge extra for seating passengers together. Much has been made of this in the press but it is something that comes from the airline – it is not a charge imposed by Globalhoppers. We trust this addresses the points you raise – it is impossible to be more specific as we have insufficient detail but if you have any other queries please contact us via the above link and we will be happy to answer them.

You will probably have to wait and they should send it through immediately. I received invoice and hotel voucher a few days later. They told me I would receive boarding passes 7 days before..but whether I do or not is another thing. Good luck hope everything goes well.

Contact the airline and explain your situation. I had to do this last year when I was repeated unable to input my API details onto the airlines website. They merely informed us that our passports would be scanned and they would obtain the info from that on the day we flew. Hope that is of some help.

How do I go about changing hotels same area same flight just I have paid for all inclusive only to find you can't get a drink after 9.30 pm. Don't think this is right and the hotel does not look very clean with lots of broken plugs and photos of dirty toilets etc. Thank you

They are not a good from to deal with I'm afraid. They only get 2.2 out of 5 in feedback. If you can get a 7 night holiday for £125 I'd be very surprisedl. Buyer beware.
