“Holly you can do better then copy & paste the same message over again to every single review, are they waiting to go liquidation/bust so they don't need to bother giving customers refunds back?”

“Do not book with Teletext holidays they… Do not book with Teletext holidays they are liars and thieves.. After months of promising a refund I am spending hours on hold only to be told every time you will have it in 48 hours. I have sent 20 emails . Definitely the worst travel company I have ever used. Stay away if you are not looking to be scammed or robed and you never want to speak to anyone when you have an issue.”

“We booked an holiday in Egypt in March but due to current travelling restrictions we amended our holiday and paid a further £600 on top of the £1400 to go to Turkey then yesterday the government removed Turkey from the travel corridor when we tried to get a refund repeater said that we had booked our flights independently which was not the case all was done though their agents,my wife has been on the phone for 6 hours and spoke to 10 different agents and is still not resolved ,an absolute shambles,rude and unhelpful staff, never again.”

“Had a partial refund from a holiday I was due to go on in April, teletext informed me it was due to Ryan Air not paying for flights. Contacted Ryan Air who confirmed teletext claimed MY refund 3 months ago. Teletext promised refund in July then August then September. Absolutely disgusting service TT781860 I’ve been told a manager will contact me within 48hrs 5 tines now and this never happens”

“I am extremely un-happy with the service from teletexts holiday . We was due to fly in April and due to covid19 holiday got cancelled . We rebooked you fly in September and paid further £200 . Which in total for our holiday was £1600.00 Leading up to going we did not receive any flight details . Tried calling them spent hours and hours on the phone and still didn’t get anywhere . We was being pasted to different departments. Day before we was meant to fly after paying out for covid19 tests . We got through to the airline directly who we was meant to be flying with and they told us teletext holidays cancelled our booking in august . We wasn’t made aware of this . Teletext holiday are scamming customers they are not answering our calls . We finally got through to a manager who apologise and advised they did cancel our holiday but are trying to re-book us again . They didn’t do this and we then spent a further day trying to get through. We was then promised a full refund within 2 weeks it’s now been 3 weeks and we have not received payment . Spent the last 2 days trying to speak to someone and all they keep doing is putting us on hold and putting down the phone . The services is disgusting the way they speak rudely . I will never use this company again and advise all people not to either . They are taking people’s money and not even resolving the issues . Disgusting service !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TT789419”

“Just like the majority of customers on here we are still waiting for a refund since may , email after email and calls my flights also have been refunded to them but they claim they have not received them. How can a company be allowed to treat customers who have paid hard earned money to them and keep their cash ., who do we contact for help ?? And Holly and Richard dont leave me a message, disgusting disgraceful dishonest company ,,do not book a holiday with them.ref TT773220”

“Like many others have received extremely poor customer service from Teletext. Been fobbed off many times over the 3 months since the holiday was cancelled, still waiting for a refund. Was just on a call holding for 1hr, eventually got through to someone. When I mentioned refund I was put on hold again without notice then 5mins later cut off. What can I say.... Appalling ref TT772231”

“I have given tellytext 4000 for a family holiday we saved for a very long time for this holiday, it was cancelled over covid I was told that I get my refund in September after countless phone call and emails, no refund yet and still getting past over to people on the phone that when they answer. I don't know what to do next who can I contact for this to be solved. To think that this is happening in this day and age is awful. It was my first time dealing with this company and last.”

“June holiday was cancelled. No sign of a refund. I was called twice last week by them trying to re-book my holiday. When I said I wanted a refund the first caller told me that would take at least another 3 months and hung up, the next day they called again to re-book for next year and I told them I wanted a refund the caller told me that wasn't going the happen and also rudely hung up. I will never book with them or ryanair again.”

“1* Rating is too much ... On 8th July 2020 I asked a teletext agent to quote and check booking of 4 rooms for 7 people – 3 generations of family classed as a group booking in a specific hotel in Benidorm May 2021. The agent later confirmed he had spoken to hotel and organised the rooms and even a discount! He sent a quote for this with flights and I then paid the deposit. The next day he phoned and stated the hotel was actually shut for the week I wanted. I phoned the hotel and it was shut for a year for refurbishment. Unhappy about his lie, I however had the flights and wanted a package to the same resort. After another pushy agent tried to re-book me on the spot I checked and then asked the agent to book me another hotel. I clearly stated I wanted the superior rooms with balcony (as this hotel was cheaper) No quote was sent just a confirmation of booking which stated standard room and did not state balcony. From this point on I have been trying to contact teletext holidays to correct the booking. Hours on the phone each time waiting gets me to an agent who can’t transfer me as they are working from home in India – but promises a call back in 48 hours (which has never happened ) One agent actually shouted at me and put the phone down after telling me I had agreed these rooms and they are non- refundable. Approximately 15 emails have also been sent with no acknowledgement. I do understand that the covid refunds are taking time but these agents should not have taken the bookings incorrectly and lied. I do expect customer service to help. This holiday is to be funded by my 80 year old mother, who is treating her family who worked as key workers throughout lockdown. My mother has modest savings and can’t afford to be out of pocket. To add to this , it would be impossible, dangerous and a health and safety issue for her to climb into a bath, which is why I stated Superior rooms as they have a walk in shower. Can anyone please help me with idea to resolve this as I now have paid for flights and have rooms booked that are unsuitable and not what I asked for. I did also however want the security of a package. To conclude, this situation and lack of service has led to anxiety and stress .”

“Will NEVER use Teletext Holidays again in my life. Rudest bunch of people I’ve ever encountered. Got promised a 100% refund Tuesday and a confirmation email within 48hrs, and a refund by end of September. Call up again today (Friday), as no such email arrived. APPARENTLY It’s MY problem COVID is about and I should still go on my holiday to a CLOSED country 🤣 Holiday still not cancelled. Maybe worth Trading Standards listening to those calls!! Speak to my CC company mate....”
