They don’t even deserve 1 star. Scammers who should be going to court for scamming people. They pretend to sell “cheap” holiday packages while scamming you to charge extra for better options as soon as you pick up the phone. Their agent Benjamin made me overpay £400 promising 5 star hotel and transfers that actually already included in the price. They put you in the worst hotels and clearly make a lot of money on the difference. We suffered good poisoning and spent a lot of money on the medicine and most importantly risked our health. I urge people to avoid them and those who “suffered” from their services to report to police!

So... a very honest review here. We recently used Jetline AKA Bargain Late Holidays from wowcher and here are our thoughts.
I booked a disneyland getaway for 3 days from wowcher for a great price - I believe around £300 a person to go in mid May. This included accomidation, Eurostar and 1 day ticket for the park each.
I completed the purchase and then called BLH to complete the booking process, everything was going great until they told me the ludicrous timings of the travel... I believe it was something silly like 22:30PM travel time so we would arrive the next day... (already one day gone!) the return time was 6-7AM on the Sunday so realistically we would have only one day in Paris. Now they also do not take into account how on earth you are meant to get to disneyland when you arrive - all of the trains are stopped by that point and the buses until around 5-6AM, so you would then have to spend 120 euros just to get to the hotel. I feel this is pressure selling and falsely advertised as it is NOT a 3 day trip it is around a day and a half - not impressive. Anyway I paid the extra £180!!!! To get the eurostar times changed (more than it would have cost me to just do it myself) and we agreed.
I must admit that once this part was over and we actually travelled there were no issues with the customer service and no issues with the tickets or bookings for the hotel (hence the three stars). The hotel was clean and tidy and our room was a good size.
My advice to them would be to make it as clear as possible around the timings that people would get as clearly marketing itself as a 2-3 day weekend getaway is not on.
All in all, we spent just under £800 when we could have paid the same (probably less) by booking it ourselves.

DONT LET GET YOURSELF SCAMMED! PLEASE NEVER BOOK FROM THEM!
I have bought it through wowcher- it was supposed to be 5star 2 days stay in Praque. I paid almost 400£ for flight and hotel. Night flight so the stay reduced to 1 day- I checked the airlines and this flight was 10£. Not ANY luggage. Wanted me to change hotel to pay extra. I would spend less booking it directly on my own. They try to get you to pay more for everything. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

After months of paying more and money to move back due to not being able to go on holiday.. the rude staff decided that if I cancel my booking they would give me only a £200 voucher!! which considering what we paid this is a joke! 6 Times i called to speak to a manager and had to explain why over and over. The customer service is non existent and they are blaming the hotel in Amsterdam. Which I'm sure would just move the date surely due to a pandemic?? DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

We have used Bargain Late Holidays twice to book our Europe holidays and we have never had any problems. All the information they give you is clearly written out and explained for your understanding. Your flight departing times might be very late at night or very early in the mornings so might be inconvenient for some but this is so that the cheapest possible deals are secured. Just read all the information carefully and you will have a great holiday!

I’ve spent over an hour on the phone with these ‘travel’ agents and will not be travelling any further than the kitchen to eat my feelings and rage drink some wine. After going back and forth for an hour about flight times (they would only offer inbound flights before 7am or after 10pm, despite the booking terms saying they’d be within these times, and they wanted to charge us an extra £300 for the pleasure) they then said the only hotel they could offer in the area does not have any rooms available within a fortnight of the dates we had booked. I do appreciate that with a bargain holiday you compromise on some things to get a good deal, but flying at the time advertised and staying in the hotel advertised seems like the bare minimum they can provide. Unhelpful, unapologetic and unacceptable. Avoid these false advertising crooks!

I wish I read the reviews before purchasing the deal on Groupon. All they did was require payment every other day, for one thing or the other and once it has already been booked and you do not want something such as an add on, you get told that your whole holiday could get cancelled and no refund will be available. An experience I will never experience with this company again. 'bargain' - it was definitely not, if anything more expensive than anything. You even have to pay extra to sit together when the booking was booked at the same time and paid for by the same person. Accommodation that was provided on the trip too, even though extra was paid for an "upgraded and better hotel" was horrendous.
Please do not waste your time nor money if you want to actually enjoy your holiday.
