Right where do I start... I booked a holiday for me and my little brother we both just lost our dad to cancer so wanted to take a break .. booked with teletext first of all they advertise fake prices. I found and deal that was actually quiet expensive and booked it... the week after I called for my booking confirmation only to find out that they booked me the wrong day .. called for hours I was so stressed ... spoke to a manager he amended my booking after a couple days I rang up again for the itinerary only to find out my holiday had got cancelled .... I was non stop crying as how can they do this again ... again the manager rebooked it .... a month later which is today I am supposed to travel in 2 days have my bags packed only to find my flights had been cancelled again its absaloutly disgusting how I've been treated I've been calling for 3 hours now and getting passed around to different operators nobody is helping I'm soooo drained I will never ever book with them in my life and I will be reporting this it's made me sick and depressed

I Have just received my full refund from Teletext Holidays, so there is hope for everyone out there. I paid my holiday in January, and was supposed to go to Tenerife on the 21.5.2020.

TT780995 Have not received one reply from any emails I have sent. You're asking others for their TT number, well here you go. Will it make a difference?? I doubt it. Deposit paid February, balance paid March. Lies and more lies. Refund dates have been: end May, end July, end August, 14th September, 20th September and end of September. No refund as yet! I have spent hours on the phone, I'd estimate 14 hours or more. Please stop lying, be honest, do what you say. Worst customer service ever.

Extremely unhappy, go on holiday to find out the hotel I’ve booked has been shut probably been closed for months as the windows were blurred. Why are you advertising hotels that basically don’t exist and to be re directed to another hotel after wondering around for hours at night to find a piece of paper on the door with tiny print. Paid about £120 for bed and breakfast but it was unavailable to us as we were not on the list. Also thought I’d booked baggage and seats with flight as the customer advisor confirmed he did so when booking and then having to pay more at the airport on arrival and departure. Been back since the 9th sent emails with no response been calling since I’ve come back being left on hold for ages. Absolutely disgusting. Also me and my husband were given a room with twin beds when I booked double like I’ve come on holiday with my brother. At this point we had enough and spent the rest of the week in separate beds. The hotel we were re directed to had the nerve to tell us the hotel is a higher star but fact is it is not what I had booked. I was avoiding writing a review but I have been left no choice as I can’t get in contact with teletext after trying for 8 days straight.

We are meant to be travelling in 23 hours time , we have no booking confirmed from teletext holidays . Spent all week contacting them with no answers just lies . One person told us we are flying from Gatwick another person has said Heathrow . Spoke to EMirates directly who told us that teletext holidays cancelled our holiday on the 10th august . We also spoke to a manager who didn’t seem to care and advised he will terminate our calls as we were asking if our holiday was confirmed . Which he refuses to give us an answer . Also said we were wasting he’s time . This the service is been nothing but a disgrace and we would never use these again . We have paid £1800 in full , and he has said we will not be getting a refund .

Booked up for October (before covid) Unable to discuss amending it as they won’t answer calls, emails etc. On hold for at least 50 minutes then they hang up on you. Automated responses from them on email, social media And sites like this. Absolutely shoddy customer service. Please, please please don’t book with them. I know covid is unprecedented but they’re handling of it is simply fraudulent. I’m still waiting on a reply to emails from 4 weeks ago.

Shocking company. DO NOT USE! We are still waiting for our refund back from our holiday back in June. They hang up on you and don’t reply to emails. We are in the process of taking them to the small claims court.

TT780156 and the usual story of a holiday booked for March, fees paid, holiday cancelled and still waiting for a refund. Don't want an alternative trip as we are in our eighties and not now fit to travel. Some broken promises from customer support but usually unable to reach anybody to talk to. Six months now and the company shows no sign of helping us. John Carter

As per other customer reviews, I am waiting for a refund of 4000 pounds, was told 90 days. Now atol says I should have 1 within 1 days. Today I am going to try a section 75 to retrieve the money, if this does not work I will be forced to apply to the small claims court, when this is upheld I will upscale it to the high court and get a ccj against teletext Holidays in high you will incur extra charges and court costs for the trouble. I am not playing cat and mouse anymore, sort my refund or feel the wrath of the courts!!!. TT749728, email me with a sensible response.
