Completely misleading - when you call about a holiday advertised as £214 pp it turns into £939! Apparently its the difference between the live price and the advertised price. Rob also asked me if we were happy with the stop over flights yet the deal said they were direct. Dont waste your time surfing this site!
Scammers
Scammers. I don't use to leave bad reviews,but people need to know about this. I find a holiday,I talk with an agent and I want to pay the afreed price. Once I paied they told me that I need to pay an extrea+£160. I start to argue about this,they are very rude, don't want to cancel as well.
Avoid this scammers

Scammers scammers
Fraudsters
Tried to book a holiday,price was much more than advertised, when I paid they wanted more money for admin fees etc. Asked for refund and they refused. Scammers avoid them.

Scam scam scam scam scam stay away!!!!!!!!
I have never went to write a review on anything in my life as no service has ever been so despicable to do so but I cannot let anyone else be scammed by this company. My parents got completely scammed by this company today , bear in mind they don’t go away often and aren’t tech savvy to keep up with these scammers. They called up as they were advertising a very cheap price for a hotel and flights- they called up to be told that isn’t the price etc. fast forward and they convinced them of a deal 100 euro pp more than what was advertised- they unfortunately agreed. Hours went by on the phone where we couldn’t pay them via a link they kept sending. Tried 5 different cards and nothing worked completely the fault on their end, we went to our bank there was no issues. They said they would call us back later that day as we were in a rush heading to a hospital appointment… they called back and I insisted I speak to a supervisor, they agreed to paying via my bank with Iban etc even though I tried to do this earlier in the day, it was incredibly frustrating but ok I got over it. 20 minutes later a lady calls me to say the hotel has went up in price by 450 euro, like sorry what ???!!!! This was the last of me keeping my cool with these people. There was no mention if I waited until that evening the hotel would go up, it was a confirmed booking earlier in the day as I was able to cover the flights only - which again makes no sense why they couldn’t do both earlier in the day? there is no way it would hike up 450 euro more , SCAM SCAM SCAM? I wanted to get a refund and run but no I was stuck our money was taken and we needed to pay the rest or we would’ve been out of pocket for everything. In the end the hotel and flight cost them 1500 to 5 days. Absolute extortion but there is no choice they rope you in and take your money and find every excuse they can to take more money from you.
I have never in my life been so upset and angered to take money and scam vulnerable people.
Please please stay away!!!!
Edit -
Where did you send me a private message?? This isn’t possible on trust pilot stop making yourself look better. It is absolutely you people I was in contact with no one else. Stop making yourselves look better.
Edit 28/11 edit I have emailed you. You are not responding. Stop pretending you are helping when you aren’t,SCAM
Edit * 11/12/25 no response back from this company after emailing - again proving the scam that they are doing to people. AVOID!!!!

I got stung by a false advert for a hotel in Zante. B and B for £515 each for week from Hurn. The company Holiday Globe booked flights with my card and then advised me there was no B and B and it was just fully inc at almost twice the price. (An alternative hotel offered wasn't to my liking). The room given was also below par so I paid more to move. Be warned, HDC is just a platform for internet companies and if you have a problem they are not interested. Will not use again. After reply from HDC, they just told me to sort out with holiday company, they had no interest in getting directly involved!

went on line and seen a holiday and stipulated that if the price they advertised was what i would be paying i would book also asked for them to email me so i had it in writing this was on weds the 5th june 2025 and no email absolute chancers and conmen AVOID at all costs
I told them I was a solo traveler
I told them I was a solo traveler. They tdme even though it wasn't not advertised as two people. You normally see police per person it did not say that. 104 4 nights Portugal.

Best hotel I have stayed. Food was excellent and loved the cabanas with waiter service
AVOID AVOID AVOID - TOTAL SCAMMERS
AVOID AVOID AVOID at all costs!!!! This website is an absolute scam. As you can see from the HOLIDAYDISCOUNTCENTRE.IE website you chose a holiday, the call Holiday Discount Centre with the holiday reference number. We I did this and spoke to ‘Edmund’ - after the charge was put through he then advised that the accommodation selected was no longer available and then tried to get me to accept sub standard accommodation elsewhere which was much cheaper than what we had been charged for. I declined and requested a refund of the charge. Well the scam starts here!!!! ‘Edmund’ advises that the flights had been already been booked (I’ve only been on the phone about 5-6 minutes). We advised we would accept the flights and look after our own accommodation. He advised that the flights were booked under HIS email address and he had the log in details! He advised that he would send an email and when we accepted that he would release our flights. Thank God I read the small print on this email - if I accepted he would indeed refund my accommodation costs - LESS €440.00!!!! Obviously this was refused. I cannot emphasise enough the amount of stress he caused over the following 5 days through emails and phone calls where he roared on the phone to accept this deal! The €440.00 charge was dropped to €190 and then €135.00. Well 24hours before our flight was due to depart I eventually had to agree to a loss of €85.00 to get my flight log in details - well I suppose it was a lot better then the €440.00 he originally tried to catch me for!
I also saw from my bank that the accommodation was put though by a company called HOLIDAYGLOBE.CO.UK - this is obviously another name this company is using - definitely another to AVOID.
Avoid these cowboys at all costs!
I have now read your reply placing the blame with another Company! The company I engaged with was HOLIDAYDISCOUNTCENTRE.IE at their DUBLIN IRELAND phone number listed on the website. HOLIDAYDISCOUNTCENTRE.IE is obviously trading under a number of different websites - please please people do not be scammed by these cowboys - I am so sorry I did not take the time to read other reviews before dealing with them. Once again AVOID AVOID AVOID at all costs.
I have no intention whatsoever in making any type of contact with you. All my dealings were with HOLIDAYDISCOUNTCENTRE.IE at their DUBLIN number and the eventual refund was issued by HOLIDAYGLOBE - enough said!!!!!
Also to state that my holiday had nothing to do with HOLIDAY GLOBE - well how do you explain that the flight booking confirmation email was sent to anthony@holidayglobe ??????
So can you confirm that the DUBLIN phone number listed on HOLIDAY DISCOUNT CENTRE’s website is actually linked to HOLIDAYGLOBE? How do you explain ringing a DUBLIN number and booking a holiday and then it ends up with a UK company????? I note from other reviews that I certainly am not the only one this has happened to. As regards contacting you - you must be joking!!!!! I want nothing further to do with either HOLIDAY GLOBE or HOLIDAY DISCOUNT CENTRE.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM
This is NOT A COMPARISON SITE They trade under the Travelopedia.Ltd. Which includes Flight office, Viman, Holiday globe, Dream holidays, Groovy holidays, Flash holidays, PLUS Sky blue holidays, Delta holidays, Plan my tour, Cosmic holidays ALL LTD … They will take your money, phone you back 20 mins later and ask for more money. I had a terrible experience with HOLIDAY GLOBE, NEVER BOOK WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES
SITE FULL OF SCAMMERS STAY AWAY
Whilst this is a comparison site they should be very careful who they are hosting as most are the same company under different names . Booked through galaxy holidays , took my money and then within half an hour they wanted another £250 as flights had gone up. Wanted to offer non comparable alternatives in totally different countries . When asked for a refund as they couldn’t supply what I booked got told there would be a £90 cancellation fee then tried to black mail me whe I refused to agree this in writing that I accepted and told me if I didn’t I would get nothing . Total utter scam , do not use . I wish I had read the reviews first but if it looks to good to be true in This case it is . Stay away at all costs
