Avoid

The 1st and last time i would ever book through these. Booked a holiday on 11th January 2025 then 48 hours later found it £2,500 cheaper else where rang up on the 13th (48 hours later) to cancel to be told we could not.

Asked to speak to a manager to be informed she was the manager and there was no cooling off period , ( were not talking a cheap holiday) fast forward to December 2025 we have had no correspedence from them, despite the holiday being paid in full. Tried to check in online for our flights, only for the Hayes Reference number to be invalid, tried Gold Medal website and could not log in as in was not an agent, rang Gold Medal who informed me they could not deal with me as i did not have an agent number.

Turns out we had to book in with Emerites with there reference number which we did not have. Someone from hayes rang me within minutes to enquie i had had called Gold Medal.

Long story short after the poor and lack of commuination from Hayes, we are more confused than ever we are a party of 4 travelling together. There documents printed out by Hayes says they are flying from a terminal that is shut ( so we have cancelled the lounge) mine however is showing the correct terminal or we think. Even the flight numbers between our parties paperwork is different despite all being on 1 booking. Really not good, if you want to add extra stress to your holiday then Hayes is the company for you. Now we have lost our lounge fee and have to go to the shop again to try and get the correct documents wish us luck. Avoid at all cost.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry for the confusion and inconvenience you experienced with your documentation.

After reviewing your booking, we can confirm that the incorrect or conflicting details originated from the supplier, which unfortunately caused issues with the paperwork you initially received. We fully appreciate how frustrating this must have been.

Our team has supported you on several occasions, and each time you visited the store we ensured that the documentation was corrected and your questions were answered. You also came in again today with further items that needed to be sorted, and we were happy to assist with those as well to make sure everything is now fully in order.

We are pleased that all paperwork has been updated and that you left with everything clarified for all members of your party.

Thank you for your patience, and please know we are always here to help if you need anything else. We sincerely hope you have a smooth, stress-free holiday.

The whole experience was a pleasure

The whole experience was a pleasure. Laura listened to exactly what we wanted and matched us perfectly with a holiday. I would always make Hays my only choice for booking any future holidays and even more so if Laura was always available to deal with.
