DO NOT BOOK THROUGH TELETEXT! Scammers!
I am posting this review to highlight severe misrepresentation, deceptive sales tactics, and complete abandonment by Teletext Holidays during a £6,000 family holiday to Egypt with three young children.
Deceptive Sales & Pricing Tricks
The process started with aggressive cold calls from a representative who became exceedingly rude when asked to stop calling. When we agreed to book, we were given high-pressure lines like "We’ve just had a cancellation, book now!" only for the agreed price to suddenly increase at payment. Furthermore, despite paying for two Superior Rooms, the booking confirmation arrived showing one room had been downgraded to a Standard.
Left Stranded & Out of Pocket
Upon arriving late at night in Egypt, the hotel informed us that Teletext had only booked one single room instead of the two we paid for. We were left abandoned in the lobby for 4 hours with three exhausted young children, receiving zero response from Teletext. To get off the lobby floor, the hotel forced us to pay an extra £1,000 out-of-pocket for a cramped family room with 3 beds jammed together for a family of 5.
Unsafe Transfers
The "complimentary" transfer was appalling. The minibus was unsanitary, reeked of stale cigarettes, and the driver was texting on his phone while driving erratically the entire journey, severely compromising our safety.
Zero Accountability
Teletext is fully aware of all of this. We have supplied them with full email, photo, and video evidence verifying every single claim. Unsurprisingly, they have ignored all correspondence and failed to respond.
We are now taking formal action and submitting a complaint to the ATOL travel board. Do not trust the prices they quote, and do not risk your money or family's safety with this company

We booked a holiday through teletext…
We booked a holiday through teletext this morning. He was very pushy to pay there and then and get it booked while he’s done such a great deal he kept saying. Repeatedly he said if you book now I will add this in your booking for you. I felt like it was legit as I had used the website for a qoute and gave them that reference number. After paying and booking for it. I had emails from the flight companies which one of those flights was to a different airport on the way home. So I rang instantly back and then they argued with me saying I said it was ok to go back to that airport. They were very rude. I phoned a few times to try and get atleast someone to understand that I needed to return back to the same airport. This still hasn’t been resolved and it’s stressed me out that much I don’t even look forward to the holiday I was so excited to go on. So rude. Please AVOID!!!!!!

We sincerely apologise if you felt pressured during the booking process or if there was any confusion regarding your return airport. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we're sorry that your concerns were not handled in the way they should have been.
We can confirm that your refund is now being processed. We appreciate your patience while this is completed.
Your feedback is important to us, and it has been shared with the relevant managers so that we can review what happened and help prevent similar situations in the future.
We wish you all the best and are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We booked a holiday to Antalya through…
We booked a holiday to Antalya through teletext with the advisor promising a package that was unbeatable in price with the full works. We paid for an all inclusive holiday for a family and five and upon arrival at the hotel it seemed the room booked for us through the teletext agent was suitable for a couple and 1 child!!!
The size of the room was far too small for our family with the hotel refusing to change or upgrade the room as they stated that the teletext agent had requested for this particular room for us. This was very disheartening as we were left with 1 of 2 options either pay more to upgrade or struggle as a family in this pokey little hotel room. This put a huge dampener on our trip and I vowed never to book it through this company again. Please avoid using them and research alternative providers who deliver what they promise!

Hi Hafsa
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and the disappointment this caused to you and your family.
We understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive at your hotel and find that the room allocated was not suitable for a family of five. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have, and we're sorry that this issue had such a negative impact on your holiday.
We would like the opportunity to investigate what happened with your booking and review the circumstances surrounding your accommodation. Please contact our Customer Relations team quoting your booking reference, so we can look into this further. You can reach the team by emailing customerrelations@teletextholidays.com.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to review your concerns and work towards resolving them.

This was by far the worst most frustrating experience I've had when trying to book a holiday online.
We found a package deal on their site then called them to secure which you have to do. You cannot simply select and pay, thought this was odd but the name Teletext has been around for decades in the UK.
Little did I know this is now operated by an Indian call center with everyone having typical English names but I suspect this is merely to give you the illusion the staff are all fluent in English...this later proved not to be the case.
So we called and booked the holiday with Daniel. We paid then literally moments later he changed the deal offered saying we needed to pay hundreds of pounds more as the flight prices 'had just' increased. We thought this was odd but paid as requested.
All sorted you may think.....NO minutes later he called back saying those seats were gone and had found an alternative flight. OK we thought let's just get it done......despite accepting an alternative flight at a different airport after minutes of agreeing he once again called back saying the new flight was also gone.
Now we had no flights at all and had paid for the holiday. I reluctantly agreed he could call us back in the morning at 10am to discuss other flight options. He never called despite his promise and was informed he was on his day off.
Then proceeded the nightmare of trying to get a refund. Numerous calls. Numerous lies and attempts to speak with anyone that would help. Despite requesting to speak with a supervisor I was again told they would not refund me until they had spoken with Daniel.
Still not refunded thousands of pounds paid several days later.
Fortunately I had informed my bank and had used a credit card in case I was being ripped off. The bank told me not to worry and they would do a charge back on August 6th.
All in all a horrendous experience with nothing positive to add. Please do yourself a favour and look elsewhere when planning your next holiday. Dodgy International call centres with appalling customer service is not what I expected from a well know former UK brand.

Hi Neil
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your booking experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
As a call-to-book travel company, our travel advisors compare flights, hotels, transfers and room types in real time to help customers find the holiday that best suits their needs and budget. Often, the differences between packages are in the finer details that aren't always visible online and our advisors are there to explain these options and help customers make an informed decision. Our booking process is completed over the phone so that we can confirm the latest availability with our suppliers, discuss any changes that may occur, and ensure all booking details are correct before travel arrangements are finalised. We understand this differs from an online self-service booking experience, but it enables us to provide personalised assistance throughout the booking process.
We'd also like to clarify that our travel advisors use professional working names to make communication easier for customers and to ensure consistency when referring to previous conversations. This is a common industry practice and is intended solely to provide a smoother customer experience.
As we work with suppliers' live booking systems, prices and availability can change, particularly during periods of high demand. While these changes are outside of our control, we appreciate how frustrating this can be. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused by the changes to your flight options and the delay you experienced while seeking an update on your booking.
We're pleased to confirm that your refund has now been processed, and we apologise for the delay and the uncertainty this caused.
Your comments have been shared with the relevant managers, as the level of service you describe is not the standard we strive to deliver. Feedback such as yours is invaluable in helping us improve both our booking process and the service we provide.
Once again, we're sorry that your experience fell short of expectations and we thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
