I have just returned from a holiday to Pompeii, Sorrento & Amalfi Coast. It was fabulous from beginning to end. The hotel, company rep & tour guide were all first class. Perhaps I could have saved money by organising everything independently, but it is so much easier doing it through Just You. I was very satisfied & intend to book another holiday with this company.

I doubt that I would have achieved this result without my Trust Pilot post.
Just You informed me that their policy was to respond to issues such as mine within 28 days, shorter than the mandated 90 days. However, had I had any evidence of progress with dealing with my request during my initial phone calls, I might have not felt so disgruntled with my treatment by the Just You customer services call operatives.
The lesson I have learned is that it is important to use opportunities for public reviews as that grabs company attention and it is essential not to be discouraged or give up if you do t feel your concerns are being taken seriously.
James also offered me a Just You voucher as compensation for my experience which I did not accept. I was not motivated by compensation but by fairness given that I did not get the product that I had bought. However, I acknowledge that Just You has now satisfactorily resolved the matter. Thank you James.

I cancelled the holiday because of the corona virus pandemic on 13th April, 95 days before the start of the holiday. Not only have I not received the ‘Protected Deposit’ in accordance with their terms and conditions but have been sent an additional bill for £161 as a ‘Low cost airline cancellation charge’ this was the first I had heard of this charge and as it does not appear in the T’s & C’s I have requested an explanation but have been ignored.
I wonder how many people have been pressured into unnecessarily paying this or have had their deposits withheld. It appears that JustYou are acting outside of their booking terms and charging customers illegally in order to claw back any money they can, rather than encouraging us to re-book.
I hope I don’t get the automatic response from Just You on Trust Pilot as when you send emails to their customer service they don’t answer; even though these are ‘exceptional circumstances’ when you book the staff are working from home anyway so it is just a poor excuse for bad service.

I was not informed that it had been cancelled, but noticed that it had disappeared from their website and called to check.
I received a call back from a customer service advisor who tried to persuade me to rebook next year with the incentive of a chauffer driven car to the airport, I refused and asked for a cash refund. I was then offered a credit note which I again refused and asked for a refund.
The customer service advisor then very condescendingly asked if I understood what he was saying to me, because if I insisted on a refund I would be putting people out of a job. Again I asked for a refund and was told that it would take 90 days to process as opposed to the 14 day ABTA guideline.
Money from customers is seemingly held by a third party so why is it such a problem to refund customers?
I did email Just You to complain, but to date have had no response.
#delivery(3/5) #price(3/5) #quality(3/5) #customer service(3/5) #on-time(3/5)
I initially received a confirmation email. Followed quickly by an email saying;
“We need a little longer on your booking...
We are holding your place, however we have not been able to complete your booking. Don’t worry, we haven’t yet taken any payment. A member of our team will contact you shortly to confirm your holiday details”.
The following day/ Wednesday, I received a phone call to say they just had to confirm the room availability and would get straight back to me.
I said “Please get back to me quickly as I have an alternative but it only has 1 place left”. I was assured they would get straight back to me.
I called the Austrian Hotel in question and was informed they had availability. So reassured I waited to hear from Just you. My tour remained “Available “ on their website.
Today / Friday Afternoon I finally heard back from them. Only for Just You to say that they “ Can’t get the room” so they can’t confirm my place on the tour.
4 Days to see if a room is available!
My Alternate is now fully booked and the Just You Christmas markets tour is still “ Available” on their website.
Their customer service people have been sloppy, inconsiderate and could not appear to care less that I’ve been left with no holiday.
When I pointed out that the tour was still listed as Available, the response was “oh is it?” No apology, no suggestion that it would quickly rectified.
In short- terrible customer service.
Update- I’ve just had a phone call from a representative of Just You about my review above.
No apology just aggressive defensiveness.
His biggest issue being that their records have the initial phone call as being at 4.30pm on Tuesday not Wednesday at I had written. I’m must allow that that may be true, I’m not entirely sure.
However if it was on Tuesday afternoon that just makes their service even worse. That would mean it took another 3 days for them to check if a hotel room was available, not 2 days. Not something to be proud of!
This afternoon I have spoken to two other companies with Christmas Market tours. Both had their November tours listed as “ on request- please phone “. Both were able to check their hotel availability and get back to me within 10min!
I do find it amazing that it took Just You 3.5 days to let me know that they would be unable to accommodate me on their tour but only 1 hour for them to contact me about this review.
If the caller was an example of their management’s attitude, no wonder their customer service staff don’t care about their customers.
He was being so unpleasant I had to decline to talk to him further and hang up.

Since then I sent an email to Tara Dobb and she confirmed in a return email I would receive the cash refund.
I have a right to my money being returned and it’s been longer than 14 days!

Just you Holiday Company were great, they sorted out everything including the visa and the holiday booking and everything, so it was easy,
My Holiday with them was to Kenya Africa, on a Safari and the Mombasa add on,
But first I want to say is that I won’t be using this company again, which is not just You fault, but mine for not looking in to this correctly,
Again the holiday was great I saw lots of animals, but most of the people on the trip were over 60 and close to 80 years old, which I did not have a problem with, but it is nice to be with somebody my own age, as I’m in my 30’s, but I was very lucky as there was a girl on the trip close to my age, so because of this, this made it an amazing holiday, as I had somebody to talk to, close to my age, also its mainly woman on these holidays,
But if she was not there, then everybody would have been 30 or 40 years older than me, and everybody went to bed early, very early, so if it was not for the other person my age, I would have either stayed up alone, or went to bed early,
So, if you’re under 40 years old, maybe have a look around at other companies, as I have now found another company that does holidays for people between 20 and 40, as I’m going to south Africa next,
But apart from the age gap, the holiday was amazing, the safari was amazing, lots of animals, and I saw all the big cats I wanted to see,
There was a lot of driving, up to 9 hours per day, but well worth it, and some of the road were so bumpy, as I’m taller, I did hit my head on the roof, which was funny,
The tour guide Damian Stent, Amazing person, I really liked him,
Ive added a few things you may want to know,
Everyday involves getting up about 5am, and there is lots of driving I a jeep with other people, it gets hot, not a lot of toilet breaks if you drink water,
I personally did not like the food in the hotel,
You share the rooms with somebody of the same sex, unless you pay extra, maybe £400
There is lots of dusk while driving and lots of pollution while going though the city or Nairobi,
But this was a great holiday, but I just need people my own again,
Also the Mombasa add on is not worth booking, I really did not like this, the staff in the hotel were very rude, the food was not nice, nothing happens at night, no entertainment, I was alone most of the time, as the people I went with were over 60, and did not want to do anything I wanted to do, and there was no other English people in the hotel, so don’t waste your money on Mombasa,
Thanks for reading this,
Enjoy your holiday,

You neglect to say in your reply that I told you that I have kept in touch with 30% of the group, all of whom wrote negative letters or evaluation forms about our manager so the comments could not possibly be overwhelmingly positive. It is highly unlikely that you didn’t have many other negative comments about our manager since the overwhelming majority were not happy with her.

Also the single room supplement is hidden in the holiday price and the optional excursions are usually three times over priced.

It has been like talking to a brick wall to try and get my money back. Staff try and persuade customers to take a credit note. I have lost my job: I want, and have a right to receive, all my money back within fourteen days of the date of cancellation. I urgently need my money back. The law is clear: a refund should be made within fourteen days under The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.
I have been bounced around their call centre, put on hold for seven minutes during one call, waited for one hour and fifteen minutes to talk to someone on another occasion, only to be patronised and lied to. A promised call back never happened and I then had to queue again. Their staff are clearly being told to make a hard sell to force customers to accept credit notes and to delay refunds for as long as possible.
They claim they are short staffed and doing their best. They have enough staff to issue credit notes and to search for and book holidays. It takes a few minutes to process a refund and push a few buttons. They have wasted well over two hours of their staffs’ time speaking to me on the telephone and responding to emails and this review rather than making the refund. They cannot tell me when I will receive the refund and the period of time keeps changing: initially it was several months, then “…at least 28 days and probably much longer” and now it is fourteen days (which was yesterday, hence this review).
They are the Ryanair of singles holiday companies and do not care about their customers. I am a loyal customer of Just You and have spent over £10,000 with them this year alone.
Four other events have been cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, which have impacted me. Three of those organisations were charities, and all managed immediate refunds without arguing in under a week from the date of cancellation. It is clear that this company is using customers' money to prop up a failing business and for cash flow purposes and is intent on making its customers' lives as unpleasant, difficult and stressful as possible. No doubt they are still paying their staff and non-executive directors on time.
Customers will remember how they have been treated after this crisis is over: assuming this unscrupulous company does not fold. Even though we are in unprecedented times customers have a right to be treated with respect and dignity, and not bounced around call centres, fobbed off by useless, incompetent and patronising staff and have their money to used to prop up a failing business.
Response to Just You comments
Regrettably they are lying in their comments and only interested in PR spin, lying to customers and deceit. My credit card company have stated "Refunds are an automatic thing which we have no control over at all, it's the merchant that send the money back to the account this is solely a credit that's refunded back to you, directly from them. Providing the company has used the right Card number to action this refund this would have come back to you automatically." They refunded only £598.80, which leaves me owed £5,688,20. They ignore emails and fail to explain when I will get the rest of my money - £5,688.20. They are a shambles, inept and incompetent - they will, especially in these difficult times, go bust unless they treat their customers with honesty, dignity and respect.
