"Villa in Albufeira"

We Have just returned home from our stay
in a beautiful villa in Albufeira which we
booked with Algarve Vacation we were well
looked after by their 5* service, all the
staff are extremely helpful and friendly

"My review echoes all the rest absolute…"

My review echoes all the rest absolute scammers!
Our booking was changed to 2021 due to covid only to receive a call in January 2021 to say the owner would not be letting out the Villa we were offered to change to another villa but these were way over inflated Prices So we asked to cancel altogether. We were told to request to cancel to then be told that we would not receive a refund even though they could not provide the accommodation booked! This is completely illegal and I urge anyone else to contact trading standards and your bank!

"Don't use!"

My review pretty much echos the below issues people have had.

Booked holiday for 2020. Cancelled due to no flights because of covid. Refused refund.

Holiday moved to 2021 however free of charge. Holiday cancelled again due to national lockdowns due to covid.

Fees now being charged to move holiday and no chance of a refund. Also not only being charged a €150 fee to move holiday but allegedly price of holiday will also be increased by €400 for 2022.

No invoices or quotes to back up these fees. Still refusing a refund. Locked into a holiday from hell with erroneous charges starting to pop up!

"Absolute disgrace"

Absolute disgrace. Cannot provide the villa we booked, have not provided suitable equivalent accommodation and refusing to refund the money as per the terms of the booking. Has been over 2 weeks since we emailed the director and over a week since a recorded letter was sent to their premises. No response. Prior to serving the director with notice of the complaint they were trying to offer other villas with not enough beds for our group size or up to €2500 euros more in costs.

"DO NOT book with this company!!"

Booked a villa with this company through Vrbo for July 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and being a front line worker we were unable to go on our family holiday as planned. We contacted the company in charge of villa Algarve Vacations for a refund but was met with hostility and a blunt refusal of any help, even though at the time Portugal itself was in a national lockdown as well as the United Kingdom. I was told at this time my deposit money had already been paid to the villa owner, I asked for proof which they could not supply. After days of going backwards and forwards the only option we were given was to move the dates of holiday to July 2021. Feeling we had no other option, we took it. Roll on 2021 we have obviously contacted Algarve Vacations to explain we are still in the midst of the pandemic, again we can not fly, get flights or insurance to fly, out of a group of 7 only one has been vaccinated due to being a frontline worker, so again we asked for a refund. This time we were told a flat no to the refund and that if we want to change the dates of our holiday we would be charged £150 to JUST change the date. When we challenged this by saying we would contact our bank for a recall of the deposit money we got 2 emails with a threatening tone of that we should think again as we would be charged and that yes you have spent money on a holiday but our villa owners need to pay their mortgages. Absolutely disgusting. DO NOT book your holiday with this company!!!!!!

"Ferienhaus Miete und Betreuung - Alles super."

Algarve Vacation ist Anbieter von Ferienunterkünften. Im Herbst 2019 konnten wir einen herrlichen Urlaub in einer großen Villa mit noch größerem Pool verbringen. Der Service von AV ist erstklassig.
Die Kommunikation nach Deutschland war immer sehr schnell und unkompliziert.
Vor der Anreise wurde auch noch alles was zur Anreise und zum Bezug des Hauses wichtig zu wissen ist bei einem Anruf des Anbieters in deutscher Sprache besprochen.

Super Service so etwas und dies auch weiter bei der Betreuung über die Ferienwoche. Vielen Dank.
