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.... See more

Careful where you book against how you want to pay

I was under the impression that I could book with Hays and pay Hays whether I went in store or online to book.
I paid a deposit online for a booking, however when I went to settle with cash in store, was told it was not allowed.

One company with different policies on how you can pay is not a good experience for customers.

During the online booking process

During the online booking process, I notice a box to insert a 'Promo code'. I didn't have or find this code and drove to my local Hays shop (not far) and even after a few phone calls was unable to help. Would have liked a code to reduce cost but not possible. As a repeat customer, I would have welcomed this.

After taking time to visit the shop for a brochure, choosing a holiday and returning to make the booking ( on a Sunday morning! ) only to be informed that I had to book that particular holiday online. What a waste of time.

Booking my holiday

I started to book a holiday on line, but at the payment stage the computer crashed and went blank. I phoned the company and was very elegantly and patiently guided through the process by the operator Saffaron - who made sure my online payment was intact. Thank you.

Booking our holiday was the easy bit

Booking our holiday was easy and the website was helpful. However, the promise of a follow up email withing 24 hours after booking our holiday did not materialise and so we have no idea how and when we receive our boarding tickets etc. Consequently we shall have to call in to one of the Hays shops in town to confirm what happens next.

Hi Mr Singh,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We do offer a zero-deposit scheme, however, as outlined in our terms and conditions, should a booking be cancelled, the deposit becomes payable, and we unfortunately dont offer free cancellation.

Thank you again for your feedback, as we always value our customers’ comments and use them to help improve our service.

Kind regards
Gabrielle

Good value

Good value, it included transfers and baggage for the hold at no extra cost. Only thing that would have been good is more hotel options in the resort as there was only one.

Hello hays team ,first of all I must…

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

Good Morning Christine,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the hotel and the weather.

However, we’re very sorry to hear that the location was disappointing, particularly given that you were recovering from illness and had specifically chosen the break with the expectation that shops, bars and restaurants would be within a short walking distance.

We completely understand how frustrating and difficult this must have been.

Your comments regarding the location are important to us, and we will ensure this feedback is shared with the relevant team.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that this aspect of your stay impacted your overall experience.

Many Thanks,
Chloe.
