Scam
June 30, 2020

Like others if I could give a score of 0 I would. No flights booked with airline and no refund. I hope anyone who has has had a similar experience to mine will do as I have done and start reporting this company for fraud. You can report to Ealing trading standards, Action Fraud and ATOL enforcement.Its clear that a lot of the reviews are fake as there is no way these cowboys would get 5 stars!

I booked through them in April and they issued ticket after charging £35 additional admin fee. Then ticket got cancelled by airline and I changed for another day, again they charged £47.
Ticket got cancelled by airline again due to CoVid. Then I contacted them for refund and they are asking again for £35 charge. Waiting for refund for last 6 weeks but no luck, every time there is someone new and a new story. I have attached pictures of email and the charges as well. I have all other proofs of their communication with me.
Terrible experience of my life...

No refund money yet
June 28, 2020

I booked the flight and departure date was 2nd May 2020 but the flight cancelled but they haven't notice me and I knew that I got the information my flight website.so I contacted the company and I hurried book another flight and paid much money by booking urgently. Even they hadn't given notice me, they still haven't refund money yet. So I don't know what should I do. They must refund within 7days after cancelled my booking by them. Even it's not my mistake, the company haven't refund yet. Can you believe that? I strongly not recommend the agency. They have no responsible at all to the customer. They must compensation to me as well.

DISGUSTING SERVICE
June 25, 2020

After booking my flights through this company I found out that in fact they had cancelled the reservation with the airline and have yet to supply me with the flight details. I paid £589 per person for 4 adults to fly from Heathrow to KOH SAMUI for my daughters wedding and after 24 phone calls and 5 emails I still haven't received these details. I have since lodged a report with the police, the fraud department of my bank, ATOL & ABTA as this company is clearly ripping people off. Bearing in mind the have received £2359 of my money for a service, their level of communication is ridiculous. Most of the calls I have made to this company have resulted in the agent putting the phone down on me once I have questioned their actions. Clearly they are hiding something. AVOID USING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. They must be reported and held accountable for their actions

Disgusting company
June 21, 2020

They refuse to refund my cancelled ticket, 3 months I've waited for my refund and nothing. And they just tell you lies by email if you can get a reply. Calls are never answered. Absolute scumbags, please avoid this company. How on earth this lot are allowed to operate in the UK is behond me.

My flight to Los Angeles was cancelled due to Covid 19. Refund claim sent to Dream World on 17 March. Their only response to chasing emails is 'we're busy'. Still no refund although I know that the airline, Air New Zealand, has already refunded them. Credit card charge-back instigated, also very slow, complaint made to the Competition and Markets Authority but still nothing. What is the point of having a law that cancelled flights should be refunded within 7 days, if that law is ignored with impunity?

Scam?
June 18, 2020

They cancelled my trip and don't respond to calls. They either don't pick up the phone or hang up when you get connected. Neither do they reply to emails. I don't expect to get a refund or even a re-booking. Avoid at all cost!

We are still waiting for our refund since February. Our trip was cancelled due to covid 19. Everytime we call the company, they keep saying someone will get back to us but nobody does. They are a complete con, including the managers. Worst travel agent ever!

June 15, 2020

Extremely overwhelmed to receive my refund. It's a difficult time for the travel industry and we thought our money is gone but thanks to Dream World travel to get our money back from the airline which is a difficult task. It's worth waiting 14 weeks as we have received our refund and we completely trust this company and will always purchase tickets from them. Trust worthy company.

In December 2019 I booked and paid in full for a return flight from Johannesburg to Manchester leaving mid July.
Due to the Covid-19 problem I decided to ask the airline to defer my flight. The reference number did not exist and was told that no ticket was issued because DWT had not paid for the ticket. DWT now want to charge me £35 for admin fees plus I must wait 6-8 weeks or more for a refund. They have had my money for 5 months and I have had nothing to show for it plus I cannot defer my flight as there is no booking. Their replies always quote their T & C's but do not accept responsibility. Hope I get a refund eventually. As the saying goes - If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

I bought tickets from this travel agent, tickets was cancelled by airline, agent not let us know about my cancellation until we asking them.
Airline offering free of date change due to COVID-19 situation, if ticket cancelled by airline. But this agency asking to pay extra fares and extra admin fees.
This is worst agency, i don't want to book with agency again.
I'm NOT Recommend this "DREAM WORLD TRAVEL AGENCY"
WORST AGENCY

Dreadful company. Took my money 4 months ago for flights to Brisbane. No confirmation, no record of booking with Singapore Airlines, no interest in trying to sort my queries. Also, I presume... no refund coming my way.
Hopefully my Bank will be more helpful to deal with? Goodluck everyone!

Dream World Travel.
Got money back in full from my bank using charge back. Contacted bank and filled in form for disputed transaction. Needed to send copy of my email asking for refund and email from DWT cancelling the flight. Bank already had info from my account who I had paid and when etc. DWT knew they had to refund me as they never even questioned the banks claw back of my money.

Using Covid 19 to rip the public off
March 20, 2020
Previous review

Had my flight today cancelled due to Corona Virus (booked back in September 2019 before the recent lock down)
Got an email from them today stating they will give me a credit note less £70 (£35 per person) fee for the Corona Virus. Talk about ripping consumers off with a stupid excuse to deduct money.
However, I have contacted my bank who will do a charge back for the full amount (taking nothing off for the Covid 19 fee)as the European Law states that if the flights are cancelled by the airline you are entitled to a full cash refund ir a useless credit note.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
April 28, 2020

Takes your money but does not purchase the ticket, called the airline i was suppose to travel with next Thursday and they have NO RECORD of my booking in the system. DWT try to tell me that they need to contact the airline to process my booking and charge me £35 for admin fee, absolute disgrace as they haven't even used the money for it's intended purpose. Give you a run around with refunds also, avoid at all cost if you want to protect your money.
