I’ve just booked my 7th holiday through Joanne OMarakli. She is always helpful and nothing is to much trouble for her. It’s now been 3 years I’ve booked through Joanne and will continue to do so.

Efficiency

From start to finish in the booking process with Grant I was made to feel very comfortable and reassured. The whole procedure was explained in detail and reaffirmed if I requested clarification.
All the documents were emailed to me promptly.

Many thanks for all your help.

Beware

Booked a holiday to then receive a phone call an hour later stating that if was no longer available but could offer alternatives for more money. Unacceptable. Very bad service. Very misleading. AVOID!

Good Afternoon Abbie

We're sorry to hear of the issues you faced when trying to book online, occasionally one of the holiday elements may increase in price during the booking process, causing the booking to enter a pending status.

You should have received an email stating that the booking had entered a pending status and that no money had been taken.

Kind Regards

Personal holiday shopper. Brilliant

Just booked my first holiday through Fran. It was like having your own personal holiday shopper. It couldn't have been easier and after giving Fran an idea on what i was after i was on my way in no time.

Great service thanks Fran

First online booking and holiday! Ups and Downs..

Our Trip Advisor was Joanne. Throughout the whole booking process she did assist. Our first issue was the hotel, the room we had booked was sold out after booking to then pay another £20 for the same hotel with a different provider. All inclusive and shuttles booked what could go wrong. Our flight out was a breeze, upon getting to Gran Canaria delayed we were advised our Hoppa had not been allocated to us as 'Maspalomas Spain 2' which was shown on our booking was not correct and contact had been made 10 times to advise this to be changed (I received one text from time of booking querying our shuttle) and promptly called Joanne who confirmed this to be fine and all arranged so I'm unsure what went on. The Hoppa host was very helpful and put us on the next coach, arriving to our hotel around 2 hours later than planned, we missed our evening meal so went hungry for the night...I had to rebook the Hoppa back to the airport myself, which again as first time travellers didn't feel it was me having to do this and having to take time off my holiday to arrange this, it was quite upsetting. Our flight back was a big mix up. We came from Bristol and our flight home had been booked to Manchester. Having arranged a bus back from Bristol this was a BIG concern. After much upset and talks with Joanne and the TUI staff they got us on our flight with around 40mins until our flight boarded. To us the booking ref and time matched up via email but was advised next time to ensure the TO and FROM with flight reference is shown on email...it was a stressful end to a holiday but everything was sorted so I can not complain as such. I would still book with VeryHolidays again
