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.

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
The website was really easy to use and made the experience so simple. There was a slight glitch during the booking process when I determined the table-size for our cruise as the number I chose wasn't... See more

Panic Stations
I booked the holiday through Hays Travel Online ok, then came to pay the bill, £1,083.37 entered my credit card details all correctly, then a message from Hays popped up: Congratulations, everything is done, then five seconds later the screen turned red, your card has failed, please try again or use another card. I tried entering the card again, but nothing happened. So I used my current account card, and the transaction went through. I then checked my credit card account to find that £1,083.37 had gone through and that another £1,083.37 had been taken from my current account, so now I am about to go to to Hays Head Office in Gillbridge House Sunderland to try and sort this mess house and have had to Cancel my football match this afternoon Sunderland v Brighton and I am not happy

Dear John,
Thank you for your patience while we looked into this.
Firstly, we’re very sorry for the confusion and inconvenience caused during the payment process when you were making your booking. We understand how frustrating this must have been at the time.
Following your conversation with Jamie, we can confirm that the duplicate payment issue has now been resolved and the payment taken in error has been reversed. Please allow a little time for this to show in your account depending on your bank’s processing times.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise again for the experience you had while completing your booking. If there’s anything further we can help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Kind Regards,
Hays Travel

Pointless way to book a European trip
Booking through Hayes Travel to go to Amsterdam was nothing special. When I had a problem concerning the flights I was told to get in touch with Easyjet. I could have booked the hotel and flights separately myself, as it would have cost the same. No airport transfers were included either. Pointless!

Good Afternoon David,
Thank you for your review.
Upon reviewing your booking, I can confirm that the transfers were not selected by yourself at the time of booking via our website, which is why they were not included.
Regarding the issues you experienced with your flight and the lack of support, could you please provide further details by emailing online.support@hays-travel.co.uk as this will allow us to advise appropriately.
Kind regards,
Megan
