Fantastic
Fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly service from Eleanor. This is the second booking we’ve made with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for her again. Working from a brief we gave her, both times she has found the perfect location and hotel for our holidays.
Thank you Eleanor.

I had a very bad experience with Hays…
I had a very bad experience with Hays Travel in Bedford, the assistant manager was rude and unprofessional. I have logged a formal complaint to the regional manager already and will be putting this in writing. Hays Travel failed to inform my father of travel restrictions which meant and sold a package holiday without first checking on travel restrictions. The assistant manager was rude and unprofessional and just put down the phone on a customer, this was extremely upsetting.

We note that this is your second Trustpilot review regarding the same matter.
At Hays Travel, we take all feedback seriously and aim to support our customers every step of the way.
We understand from your review that your concerns relate to travel restrictions and your interaction with our team. While we always strive to provide helpful guidance, it remains the responsibility of travellers to ensure they meet all current entry requirements, including passport validity and any applicable restrictions, as these can change frequently and are ultimately enforced by the destination authorities.
We can confirm that your complaint has been fully reviewed by the tour operator and you have been supported throughout this process. We are sorry that, despite this, you remain unhappy with the outcome and can confirm that any complaint that you have put in writing to Hays will be responded to by our customer service team.

Estepona holiday
Lianne (Bedford office) answered my call efficiently and patiently. I informed her of the hotel I would like to stay at. She came back to me within ten minutes and had hotel, flights and room for my requirements. Very helpful and took time with me. Best operative I have spoken to for some time. Thank you Lisnne

Calm
Calm, friendly atmosphere in the shop.
I'm not totally comfortable with technology, and was given time to think and get details correct: nobody rushed me.
Options were thoroughly explored and everything done efficiently, professionally but with a great sense of humour.
