“I’m due to fly in 55 hours. They have only just admitted the hotel is closed. I’ve been telling them for days now. They made me prove to them that it was not open. They claimed they were speaking to the hotel while I was on hold! What they didn’t know was, so was my wife. At the same time they were claiming to be speaking to the hotel I had the manager on the phone telling me it was closed. They still haven’t called or emailed to offer me any alternative accommodation. There advice “travel and see what happens” wow.... They are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with and it’s not even close. Negligent, dishonest, untrustworthy, lying, incompetent, uncaring, greedy, disreputable. These are the nice things I have to say about them. I would be banned from the site if I wrote my true feelings. Ref TT783777 (I know this reference of by heart I’ve called them that much to solve the problems they have caused) If my holiday goes ahead it will not be down to Teletext Holidays, I have had to do everything myself. 12 hours on the phone yesterday my wife roughly the same. 10-15 emails and we are no further forward than when I started. Avoid this company”

“Teletext holiday completely messed up my booking, which they admitted was there fault. They booked the wrong hotel in a different resort ! They have offered a ridiculous amount of compensation which should have been paid well over six months ago. My booking No was TT 30295. WHAT EVER YOU DO NOT BOOK THROUGH TELETEXT HOLIDAYS!! COMPLETELY A UNTRUSTWORTHY COMPANY !!!!!!!!!!”

“Am due to fly in 3 days and my hotel is closed. No communication from teletext. Called many times over an 8 hours and they hang up on you or put you on hold then the line goes dead when I ask them about alternative accommodation. One support agent told me to fly with my 2 small children Saturday and check then if the hotel is open!! Absolutely disgusting!! Do not book with them!! No option for a different hotel. No reply when you email them. Contact news paper, citizens advice who will then give you a reference number and help make a case against them!! How are we protected legally and teletext are still allowed to operate in this country!! Am I being made to fly Saturday teletext and leave me and 2 small children stranded with no hotel no where so eat or sleep? Ref TT783777.”

“Such bad customer service! Took my money knowing that we weren’t able to go on holiday as the hotel was closed and restrictions applied while reassuring us that we would be able to go! Dishonest and extremely bad practice! Once they have your money, they do not care! They have refused to issue a refund dispute miss-selling the holiday. They will literally stick you on hold for hours and then hang up the phone! Airline has now cancelled flights and we still haven’t heard from them!”

“If I could give zero stars I would!!! Been waiting since March for my refund for a holiday due to take place in May/June. Cancelled before corona and I’m still waiting for my £1399 refund keep getting sent the canned response email that they will be processing refund soon and to await an email. Don’t buy a holiday from this company complete shambles!!”

“I called our hotel to check on facilities and expectations when we arrive...on Monday 13th July to Lanzarote. Flights a re still live and asking for us to check in...The hotel is closed until August 1st. no alternative accommodation suggested. Teletext have been my provider for 20 years. I am not happy with them right now. I have been calling for support and on hold for three days now! And have emailed so many times I've lost count. Why would I consider flying out to a country where I know there is no available accommodation? Am I missing something here? I have an autistic son and have prepared him for this holiday along with my partner. I have had no response at all from Teletext support team, I have spoken with several who have just transferred me and I have sat on hold for hours and hours to no avail! Most phone numbers do not work or are on a loop... they answer if you press option 1 for new sales but no one is available for customer support option 2!! its appalling, they really should be dealing with existing customers first surely? I want a refund a postponement or a replacement Hotel is this too much to ask?? I will be seeking advice from Citizens Advice and if necessary the Ombudsman. and the 1 star was only so i could write a review ! Kate Knaggs TT773563”
