“Great trip to Budapest”

Tom O.
11/28/22

I booked a trip to Budapest for me and my wife to stay at the 5 star InterContinental Hotel and it went very smooth and no problems whatsoever. They were far cheaper than any other company and I would recommend lastminute.com 100%

Top Critical Review

“Incredibly stressful experience, and I'm regretting using your service.”

cedric k.
10/12/24

I am very disappointed with how long it takes to get things done. It feels like I've been taken hostage by Lastminute.com. The hotel I selected was shown as available online, yet the agent's email response says otherwise. I was also misled by a previous agent who assured me I would receive a call, but no one contacted me. This is extremely poor customer service. Your web chat agents are unhelpfully cold and robotic; it felt like I was speaking to a chatbot. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, I was denied. Changing this trip has become an incredibly stressful experience, and I'm regretting using your service.

Still waiting on refund since Mar 2020. They hide behind their site with no contact, email etc. Surely central travel agency associations should remove their accreditations.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid Lastminute.com they are a scam and if any problems will never give a refund.

Designed to take your money. Will change your booking without telling you. And no chance of a refund. Read other reviews all outlining the same experience. BLOCK THIS SITE. Zero rating

Having issues with Opodo and other sites where prices would keep going up, I had my doubts about Last-minute, however, everything was straight forward and as expected. Will use again.

I booked and paid for a hotel via the lastminute website. On arrival, the hotel noted that they had not received any payment and thus there was still a balance to pay. The booking was definitely prepaid.

There are very few options that lastminute provide to contact them. An international call at high expense did not bear any fruit. I was provided an email address ending in rumbo.com to contact for a team that does not have a telephone contact option. They have relied that they will remedy the situation, but this morning on check out it appears that they have not. I will need to pay again for a booking that is already paid.

This isn't the first issue I have had with this booking and lastminute in general. Their customer service is EXTREMELY poor. They are not a customer or service orientated business. With so many options available for travel bookings, please be aware, when you book with lastminute, and something goes wrong, there is little/no option for remedy. They are atrocious. They are without doubt the worst company I have used for travel bookings. So please be aware, what might seem like a good deal will cost you significantly in the end.

So far Terrible experience, does anyone have a telephone number where you can speak to a HUMAN BEING.? We have received virtually the same e-mails back that they will deal with it in time, last one was in Spanish!

When you need it most, there is no one available to help you with any queries or changes to your bookings. Absolutely terrible experience and will not be a return customer.

I booked an internal China flight quite some time ago. I was informed at the beginning of this month that our flight was cancelled. I was offered an alternative (leaving later - however I would miss my next flight). I have contacted them several times by email (no reply whatsoever) and by phone. They keep promising a quick reply time and again. In the meantime the clock is ticking and you're stuck. I have now been requesting a refund but the only thing I hear is "I have sent it to the relevant team and they will contact you soon". I get the impression that the strategy is to keep to busy until a/ it's too late or b/ you run out of patience. Bottom line, trying to avoid paying a refund. The FB person seems all nice but on the phone I was told "I'm only asking something small, to wait (yet) another 2 days". I found that very disrespectful - as if I am being annoying for asking about my flight?! I suppose the company is quite OK if all goes well with your booking. However when there is an issue, don't count on it getting resolved (timely - before you're desperate).

We booked tickets through last minute.com

Payed for the flexibility where they wrote that cancelations would be free and changes as well. We also paid extra for the premium service. Even though we did all of this. They did not accept a refund (only offered 10% of the fees back) all in all it was cheaper by about 150 dollars on Qatars site itself. Also they only allow 1 bag even thou we are flying with Qatar. On Qatar you get 2 bags.

I would not reccommend yoiu use this agency to book flights. Alot of hidden costs and hidden T's and C's

Do not use this agency

Shockingly bad customer service during what is a difficult time for everyone. And whilst all other travel companies either managed to deal with refunds quickly and easily actually DURING the peak of the virus, this company still cannot provide any assistance, no humans to actually talk to and despite saying they are processing a refund, 6 months later this is yet to be received. To add insult to injury, we purchased insurance for the flight that was cancelled so there should be ZERO ISSUE with refunding this flight. I will NEVER use this company again - bunch of cowboys.

Booked a flight to Tampa from London, downside we had to go via Frankfurt. But plus side, flights on time, really easy checking in and service on plane was great, and under £500 each. Happy Days

Absolutely appalling customer service. So unhelpful and very very incompetent. Can't even process simple changes and needs 7 days. Stay away if you don't want to waste your money.

Flights cancelled and told they had my money just needed to be processed, that was over 2 months ago. All they are is con artists that want your money, no customer commitment what so ever

Paid last minute.com at time of booking, but hotel insisted that I had to pay at checkout. Now have two payments on my credit card and trying to get a refund off one of them. Won't use them again.

I have been emailing Last Minute for the last 3 weeks regarding my return flight from Zagreb to London but with no response as I have had no official travel documents from Monarch, only and email booking confirmation from Last Minute and I have paid the full amount. After 20 minutes on hold, they confirmed that they do not provide any paper documents or official documentation from Monarch, they only provide the check-in code. I'm a little frustrated as my partner has to provide official documents to his workplace of any flight details and I quite easily get official flight documents through all other companies so I am surprised that "Monarch don't provide these to us". Hopefully this flight isn't a scam and I can get back home from Croatia on 18th September!

Please search for "Revoke Lastminute.com's License" on change.org and sign as I cannot post link here! They cannot continue to scam customers and get away with it!

Friendly staff, very welcoming. Both the room and bathroom were clean. Spotless. Spacious, with a nice view on the medieval and charming roofs of Bruges. Highly recommended.
