I have been trying to contact them for over two weeks left voicemails sent emails no reply left a review on their website no reply balance of our holiday is due soon invoice says balance is due 10 weeks before departure when you try to pay for the balance it gives a different date not sure if the flights are operating not sure If our accommodation is open can't get any answers I understand that everyone is under extreme pressure and probably working with a skeleton staff but I feel I should have got something back from them at this stage

Covid 19 refund processing

I was due to travel the 13th of April and was called in March because of the covid-19,restrictions to be told I'd get a refund, that they were just waiting on money back from Ryanair. I received a further call saying they were getting the money back from Ryanair. Its been a month and a half and I've still not received my refund. I've tried calling and no answer, I emailed and no answer, I understand they're under pressure but I had hoped I'd have my refund by now. I was hoping to rebook it for next year with budget travel as not all of this is their fault. I'm just hoping to hear back soon

I’m am so annoyed I can’t contact anyone as part of my travel itinerary has been cancelled but not all of it a flight from Dublin to London has been cancelled but my long haul hasn’t nobody has contacted me to let me know if I will be put on an earlier flight that is still going or if the whole journey will be cancelled and if so how I go about sorting it all phone lines are closed and nobody answering emails it’s a disgrace

Dishonest response

I posted a review recently and received a dishonest response.
In short, only After I had paid for the package was I told that building works would be carried out at the hotel.
Budget also quoted the wrong sales person involved, so they did not even check the complaint.

Disappointing

Where to start, so disappointed with this travel agency little or no help and very hard to contact when you are having an emergency!!! Between 6 of us we spent over 5000! Decided not to travel because of ban and when we eventually got through after many calls and email we were given no other options other than to go or not go or pay for another package that was the same price as original. Your reply back is as equally dissapointing!

Hi Amy

I regret to read your disappointing review. I can see from your booking that we were in contact with you several times in March and each time we advised you of the change policy due to the Corona virus which was correct at that specific time, However as this is an ever changing and unprecedented situation I understand your frustration and upset at not being being able to travel as planned.

Misleading prices

I booked our holiday online. My first time booking a package holiday. I was very disappointed to get a call a few hours later to say I had to pay a further €60 as there had been a change in the price since I booked! I find this extremely misleading when I thought I was paying a particular price and I was booking the trip based on a price I had set myself!
