- loveholidays official complaints page (opens in a new tab)
loveholidays says complaints are made through an online complaints form, where you should explain what happened, when, which part of the holiday was affected and what has already been tried, with photos or receipts if you have them. It says it aims to reply within 28 days, longer if it must check with hotels or transfer providers, and that it prioritises complaints from people travelling soon. - If it is not resolved
- Hunt ADR
- When you can escalate
- After completing loveholidays' internal complaints process; the company says fees apply for arbitration.
- Checked
- 4 October 2026 (company pages and scheme websites). Rules and pages change, so check the official page before you rely on this.
Good to know: loveholidays says its ATOL protection covers certain flights and flight-inclusive holidays but not every service, and advises checking your ATOL Certificate.
What to Do, Step by Step
- Gather your evidence. Order or account number, dates, receipts, screenshots, emails and what was said on calls.
- Complain in writing using the route above, and ask for a complaint reference. Say what went wrong, what you want, and by when (14 days is reasonable). Our free letter templates can write it for you.
- Keep a record. Note dates, names and reference numbers of every contact. Use email or a form where you can, so you have proof.
- Ask for a final response if you are not getting anywhere, then follow the escalation route above.
- Use other routes if they apply. If the company does not fix it, take it to the free ombudsman or ADR scheme named above. Your bank or card provider may help if you paid by card (Section 75 or chargeback). The Citizens Advice consumer service gives free advice and can pass a report to Trading Standards.
