Very bad service and customer relations
I received a a mail from last minute|kiwi informing me that a flight I reserved via the site was delayed. I was surprised when I went to the airport 3 hours ahead of the new time to find that the flight took off at its initial timing. I had to reserve a new flight and when I filed for a refund I was answered " please choose the correct refund catagory " with non of the options applicable. I think they are reluctant to refund despite of their mistake.

Trashy scam company.
November 3, 2020

Trashy scam company.
Booked a ticket before covid for £120. Flight got cancelled. They held the money for 8 months. I had the option to get my cash back this week which was £110 out of £120 which I selected. Out of the £110 that I was supposed to get, I'm only getting £58 back. So not only did they hold my money for 8 months, they also scammed me out of £62. No way to contact them as they hid the number and chat option. Avoid this trash company

Excellent site
May 25, 2019

The hotel wasn't so good it was 3 star's not 4 like they said and the food it was the same every day, in the pictures it was nice but the rooms it look very old, they have jacuzzi but you have to pay to use, I was in other 4-star hotels more cheaper then this one and they don't charge me! I recommend the site but not the hotel!

I wont be booking with them again and I would advise anyone not to book with them. We paid £3000 for a 10 day holiday in Cancun where the hotel was not up to standard, all the facilities were closed (it was not as described) and sub-standard food gave me food poisoning. In short I received:
Poor service provision, (in not providing the standard of holiday I paid for)
Misrepresentation of facts, (It was subsequently alleged by them that I had sought to cancel my holiday after I had it - I had not!)
Ineptitude in resolving this matter, (They made an offer of compensation and then withdrew it)
Lack of empathy and understanding, (using derisory and rude language used in response to me)
Lack of recognition a legal responsibility to make recompense, (as required by law)
On that basis my solicitor will be in touch.

I am due to fly to Bangkok on the 27th June. The flight was cancelled by the airline and lastminute.com failed to inform me of this cancellation. I only knew about the cancellation as a friend had booked the same flight through a different agency who rescheduled her flight in MARCH. After two months of phone calls and emails lastminute.com finally confirmed that the flight had been cancelled and presented me with the option of flying a day earlier on the 26th June. I accepted this offer to change flights on the 4th May 2016 and I am still awaiting confirmation over a month later... 10 DAYS before I am due to leave.

I still have no idea what date I am flying or if I even am flying to Bangkok at all. I have paid good money for these flights and I need to know that my case is being treated as urgent by lastminute.com. The 'customer service' I have experienced has been appalling and I would strongly recommend that people avoid booking anything with lastminute.com

Awful company. Terrible customer service. Flights cancelled in March due to Covid19. Quickness's enough to take my money. However they are still 'finalising my refund'. Awful company and still awaiting my money. Would never book with them again, and when you try and contact them nobody comes back to you.
Email nothing. Phonecalls, nothing. Social media accounts nothing. Absolutely dreadful.

Processed a simple booking via lastminute.com. Didn't hear from them for days, ended up calling to confirm that the ticket was issued. They didn't know, and couldn't confirm whether it was even going to be issued. When asked if they weren't going to process the booking, also said they didn't know. I ended up being stuck in limbo for 5 days. Every time I called I was told a confirmation of whether the booking was going to be processed (not even a confirmation itself!) would come in 24h. Had to give them an ultimatum on the phone. Subsequently, the booking was cancelled.

I wasted 5 days unable to make other bookings, prices went up significantly, all because this company advertises a service it cannot actually deliver.

No apologies, no compensation offered.

I had booked flights and hotel with LM and I really wish I hadn't.
My return flight got cancelled and they offered me another flight to which I said yes.
They never booked it for some reason. I kept getting in touch with customer service and I was promised that they were dealing with it and I shouldn't worry about it.
Less than 24 hours before my departure I had to look into the available flights to find out that the flight they had promised me wasn't available. I had to look for another flight and asked them to book it. This cased incredible stress and ruined my whole holiday.
Overall the company is in shambles, they have absolutely no clue what is happening and what needs to happen. They crumble over the smallest issue and cannot possibly be trusted. AVOID!

Scammers and liars!
March 15, 2020

PLEASE do not book your holiday with this company.

I've made a request to change my flights a week ago. After 48 hours I got an automated e-Mail saying sorry for the prolonged waiting time but we guarantee that your request will be handled before the departure date or within the conditions of your booking" (which is 24 hours).
My flight is now due to depart in less than 24 hours and I haven't heard anything from them!

On top of that, the German hotline has completely closed down for 4 days. When you call, they hang up on you instantly. At the UK-Hotline nobody picks up until youve been waiting 70 minutes and then they hang up on you.

I know Corona has everyone on edge but the way this $#*!ty company handles it is an absolute disgrace. Their customer service agents are incompetent monkeys and lie to you (told me a week ago that my request will be handled on the same day).

DO NOT BOOK WITH LASTMINUTE!

We cancelled one of the flight tickets book last minute.com made a mistake and cancelled the whole holiday when we told them they promised over and over that it was all sorted but i wasn't now they are saying they are to busy to answer calls. So basically the sales staff will say anything to get you off the phone they will never give a name so no accountability. They made the mistake but im now stuck with no holiday and no flights to rebook them now is going to be £1000 more which i dont have. Thanks very much lastminute.com who now dont even answer the phone.

I booked flights, got an email to say problem with payment so I booked flights.
Lastminute's customer service is absolutely diabolical. They basically blamed me for booking twice and refused me a refund. The thing is I noticed the problem almost immediately and one of my two bookings was unconfirmed between 8 and 10am. Desperately I tried to get hold of someone for these two hours, but here's the thing their chat function was down and the only way you can get the customer service phone number is through the chat as they don't make it available on the website. As I couldn't get hold of a human the flight confirmed at 10am and according to lastminute this is all my fault. The thing is - the airline only have one booked. Lastminute took all my money and ran away. Running away being what you should do if considering these sheisters!

Badly organised booking
September 20, 2019

Hotel was o. K. staff were helpful, and would do anything for you. Rooms were spotless. Pool area was kept clean as was the pool.
Biggest problem was with the booking, we arrived at 3am to find no room had been booked for that night, and we could not check in until 2pm that day. Faced with sleeping on the street or paying 400 lira for a temporary poor quality room for the night we chose the room.
Had we been charged the extra money when we booked, we would possibly have chosen a different hotel.

Avoid
December 3, 2017

They have no clue what they are doing, cust service promise you everything what you want but they not keep promises. They provide misleading informations (i record all calls), after airberlin bust up i have to reschedule my other flight and they couldnt understand why, they try to persuade me that i still can go to berlin tagel (no matter i have no option to catch other flight to my destination). At the end they offer me change for £2300 while i can get direct return flight for £600 from various airlines. Absolutely waist of money, the worst part is that the airlines are not able to make any changes as i am 3th part and everything have to be done by them. I agree everything with BA provide the details to lastminute they need to only confirm that and they came up with something else more expensive and in different days. Avoid lastminute at any cost.

Scam
March 16, 2018

They charged me for a booking then changed it to a booking outside the city for the same price, the website showed initially that it was available when in fact it wasn't, after they got the money they put me in the hotels they really had, I would have never booked on that website if it wasn't for that specific hotel

Book at your peril!
February 13, 2020

Wish I could not award any stars! Extremely poor customer service. Was in Brugge and my Eurostar was cancelled and last minute.com claimed they couldn't help me and were willing to leave my husband and I there!

Do not book with Lastminute.com. If there are issues with your travel they will leave you high and dry!

Please note! All the positive comments are when those travelling have faced no issues, as soon as there are issues they will not assist you with getting home!

BE WARNED AND BOOK AT YOUR PERIL
