Hays Travel - Website Reviews 

Hello hays team ,first of all I must say that the hotel and weather was beautiful, the only grievance I have is the location .
When we booked this short break it was for myself to recouperate from an illness ,it stated that there would be shops,bars and restaurants just a short walk away but the nearest shop was 45 minutes away walking ,we had to have taxis there and back to a shopping mall .I was really disappointed about this as my previous illness was chest and breathing problems. Apart from this it was a lovely clean hotel where we stayed most of the time due to not being able to have taxis every day .C Mccarthy

Easy to book and good choices with reasonable prices

Kelly was terrific. She answered my questions and rang me back with some missing details of the holiday.

Can't fault Hayes travel.we just accidentally stumbled across it on line and I'm so glad we did. Our friends had booked a hotel in Spain and was invited to join them but we couldn't find anywhere where their hotel was available they all said booked up. Miraculously Hayes had the hotel available so we booked at a competitive price. Had trouble signing in to their app so sent an email and very next morning we received a phone call talking me through it. Excellent. I would say that on the app it would probably be helpful if it said surname instead of just name.

This agency moonlights as weekender breaks and advertises on Groupon to customers in the in the United States but Customer service is very slow you will be on the phone for an hour at least and you will be told you won't a mystery vacation and they always push Florida. Alot of trouble when I could just use Priceline or expedia or Agoda

All good very easy process

A good site easy to use and good prices

I booked a holiday online on 6th August 26 for the 23 July 27; the holiday was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I made two mistakes on the booking. I accidentally didn’t book a seaview room for an extra £119.13 per person. I also paid the holiday in full instead of paying monthly instalments. I called Hays on the 7th August and after speaking with them for 56 minutes and 12 seconds, they could not change the payment to monthly instalments. They did say they might be able to book the seaview room but it would take 24-72 hours for someone to call me to confirm. 48 hours later, they said it was not available even though it was with different suppliers on their website. Strangely, this information was available on the website and I suggested I could cancel my present booking and simply re-book. They said they couldn’t do this as it was ‘too much of a risk’ (according to their banking department whom the representative contacted). I explained to the representative who had checked everything with the manager too, that my changes would actually make the company more money and even offered to book online again and await the refund for my first booking but as ever, all this was impossible. I explained that I could use the protection afforded by credit card purchases and cancel it that way. However, Hays and the banking team would happily prefer to go to court rather than make simple amendments.

There was no option on the website to book a transfer so when I realised there wasn't one, I phone to add it. Despite - regretably and mistakenly - paying up front for the holiday, they insisted that I paid for the transefer in advance too.

Our 25th wedding anniversary is a special occasion so I decided to book with Hays for the first time because it’s apparently the biggest travel agent in the country. I therefore presumed it would provide good customer support both online and off. I am dreadfully disappointed and would not use them again.

The staff are very friendly and helpful and will try their best to help you with a y problem you may have

I booked a holiday that I thought was a Jet2 package because it’s one we’d been looking at as a package over the last couple of weeks, both on Hays and Jet2 sites. It turned out to be flights and hotel only, so now it looks like I’ll have to pay almost £300 to add bags to the flight and transfers to the accommodation. I went to the local Hays branch, they were friendly but couldn’t see the booking on their system because it was done online so weren’t able to help. I called customer service who again was very friendly to deal with, explained about selecting packages or holidays on the App, and the costs of adding the additional items. The package we wanted seemed to be available but we would have to cancel and rebook, incurring cancellation fees no doubt (I’m awaiting a call to give details). I don’t want to cancel, I want the flights and hotel we’ve booked but as a package. I’m sure it will be resolved but for now it’s tarnished what should have been excitement at having a lovely holiday to look forward to. It feels more could be done to make clear the difference between a Hays holiday and package on the app, because once you’re into the search it all seems the same. And the service felt disjointed when the Hays branch couldn’t help, like it was a separate organisation.

excellent information, extremely easy to use website, booking was easy

Very easy to use

website very easy to navigate,easy to book and great prices

Fast informative and efficient

The app is very easy to use but since I booked my holiday last Friday iv been trying to find my booking and even today still can't find it plus I'm still waiting for all the the details and direct debit payments as well

Well informed and friendly

I booked online but had to call one of the customer service representatives for help Nadine was amazing so helpful and helped me a few time through the booking , she was such a professional friendly person. I have had a great experience hopefully the holiday will be the same Thank you Nadine and Hayes Travel

Ease of booking and a competitive quote

Booking website is a little bit 'clunky' for cruises but other than that all good. Booked exactly what I wanted relatively easily and at a lower price than going directly through the cruise company. I'm a repeat customer and I have always found Hayes to be very helpful and easy to deal with. They basically do what hey say they will when they say they will. Their staff are courteous and genuinely seem happy to assist you. What's not to like!
