Don’t Expect Compensation
I had a lovely holiday in Mexico in December 2022 booked through Holiday Genie. I had pre booked transfer to and from Cancun airport to my hotel, over an hour’s drive away. I checked out on 27th December and waited for my transfer. It didn’t arrive. I contacted the emergency number and was told bluntly that they had no vehicles and that I should take a taxi. I had to pay US$100 (£85).
On arrival home I contacted Holiday Genie expecting a refund. Over 3 months I’ve been asked to provide the details over and over and submitted the copy of the receipt twice only to be now told that, as the Mexican company has refused a refund, they are washing their hands of me. I’m extremely disappointed with their conduct and will never use them again.
Horrible Company

This Is My Second Holiday Booked With An Agent at
This is my second holiday booked with an agent at Holiday Genie. Both times nothing was too much trouble as she found me very good deals.
Absolutely Diabolical
I've booked a few holidays with them and their front end sales service and price is good but cheaper isn't better. The last couple of times weve had issues with the standard of villas in Orlando especially paying extra for an executive villa which wasn't up to a good standard as well as being dirty. Trying to get a complaint dealt with and money back is near none existent. They do not reply to emails, don't call you and just dont care. I would never recommend them and never use again. The company in Orlando Amsun just don't care they wouldn't give us the villa we paid for. They also force you to pay £75 insurance which you can refuse to pay. You don't get any insurance documents for the insurance you pay for. They are a very poor company to deal with. If you have a problem you'll wish you never booked with them.

Booking Package To Dubai
LEAVE THIS COMPANY ALONE DON'T TOUCH THEM WITH A BARGE POLE.
Tried to book a holiday package to dubai in October, web site gave me a price for 10 nights 0f 1544.36. I wanted a 14.35 flight back to uk. Although the web page stated there was NO increase for this flight back, the company representative tried to state that there was a premium to be paid for that flight and that the price quoted was and average. I argued that this was a misreprestation and if quoted on the website it should be honoured. I will be writing to trading standards and ATOL about this company and their practices.

Be Warned, Do Not Use This Company
Worst company ever be warned. Complained about Executive Villa in Kissimmee which was not clean and definitely not Executive standard. Blinds falling to bits, had to use sheets to cover bedroom window. Shower filthy and in desperate need of some TLC and upgrading, dust and dirt everywhere, pool full of dead frogs and screen around pool torn and missing. Complained and provided photographic evidence to be told there was nothing wrong with it the day before we arrived !!! Was told Villa would be modern re furnishing etc, well maybe it was 20 years ago !! Disappointing that Holiday Genie do not believe me considering the photos I sent them.
Do not book with this company if you want a good holiday as if there is a problem they don’t care, i’ve spent 3 months waiting
for a reply to my complaint of 2 October and it wasn’t worth the wait either !!!!!!!!!!!

Great Service...in The End!
Had a couple of problems with a name change - but once I informed their agent, he called the Airline, corrected - and secured a direct return flight in place of our original redirected flight. Had the confirmation of changes within 5 minutes of ending the call. Thanks!
Q&A
Please please help! I've made a package booking for hotel and flight to Orlando for March 2016 and had to pay £500 deposit.
Since making the booking, I've read numerous negative reviews about Holiday Genie!
What should I do, loose the £500 deposit or go ahead and hope that these reviews are not all true?
I did have a problem with holiday genie but in the end it turned out to be the fault of the airline. It was just that holiday genie could have resolved the issue sooner if they chased it up a bit more. In the end the holiday went off without a hitch. Before and after this hitch everytime I've been with them everything has been very good and they have made helpful suggestions that have saved me money,
