Two weeks prior to my trip to Egypt
Two weeks prior to my trip to Egypt, A/K cancelled. They refused to refund my money or re-schedule my trip. Has anyone else experienced these policies?

Incredibly bad service. Considering the high prices of this company, you might hope for commensurate service. A&K failed to meet us at the airport,wouldn’t reimburse for taxi fare, and was deceptive about Covid protection on their cruise. We will never travel with this amoral company again.

We have travelled with A&K a total of 4 times. Never had a problem until this last trip. Booked a "private" trip for 4 of us in Norway after a Baltic cruise. The took so long to book the trip that we were placed in a Clarion hotel. It was totally unacceptable, and we booked our own room at a 5 star property. We were told that we would be reimbursed for the "difficulties", but are still waiting. It has been 2 months. I would NOT recommend this company. Too much money for the extremely poor customer service.

If I could say -5 stars I would for £10,000 per day is was very poor - the accommodation was less than 3star and we were totally underwhelmed! It’s now a massive £102,000 per week without any food - you are promised amazing food most of which I wouldn’t feed my dog! We had the best meals on the beach! And the best times too!

I had booked a trip to Morocco with Abercrombie and Kent for the spring of 2022. Due to the Covid situation in Morocco(level 4), I decided to cancel. I purchased insurance to have the ability to cancel for any reason-it was very expensive, but with the world situation I thought that was my best option. Luckily I only paid the $1000 dollar deposit and did not pay the full amount they were demanding.They refunded just $300 of my deposit. I have tried to contact the company several times but no one will return my calls or respond to my emails. I have taken a dozen trips with A&K and mostly have had a good experience. I just want to warn people that if you have to cancel or change plans you are going to lose your money whether you have insurance or not.

Terrible service terrible customer experience: this company is so rude and with all the covid situation that is going on, deserves 0 stars. I contacted them 2 times with two different trips and received minimal attention. Nobody called back, and their agents were so rude. Ended up booking a luxury African trip with their competitor And Beyond.

I am sorry to say that this situation has become a theme with them.

Dreadful experience in booking a French villa. As a repeat customer i knew that the booking service is poor and one has to chase constantly. It seems the team is on furlough (this and last year) and so expect to chase 3 times before any query is responded to. This year was even worse. I booked a chef, extra cleaning and tennis coach which took a lot of chasing. The local villa rep did not meet us and when we had issues with cleaner and chef didn't respond to any queries and left the villa unlocked!! The swimming pool was unusable for 2 days out of the 2 weeks. We had a particularly bad experience with the chef which totally ruined our holiday but have had no explanation or apology or even a courtesy response from Abercrombie - again despite several follow ups. I still have no invoice or receipts for the appalling chef. Definitely avoid A&K for villas in South of France. There are numerous other companies with same standard villas who are more responsive and take much greater care in selection of local services.
Response from Abercrombie & KentSep 14, 2021
Dear Ms Mahon, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your comments. I can confirm that many of our staff were indeed on Furlough leave throughout 2020 and 2021, which was the same for all travel companies and indeed many other industries. I am confident that these delays were simply a result of the worst pandemic the travel industry and probably the world has ever faced and not due to any failures Abercrombie & Kent had any control over. I again apologise for any delay in coming back to answer your queries and arrange the requested chef services at the villa. Please be advised that a full response was sent to you on 07 September with the requested receipts. As you are aware, we were waiting for the chef to return from another commitment so she could forward the receipts which were at her home. As there were attachments on the email i sent you, it may have gone in to your junk mail? Please could you check and let me know if you still do not have sight of it so i can re-send if required. I must say I am somewhat surprised by your comments about our representative as I have copies off all the messages between you which started the week before your arrival and were constant throughout your stay with no message being unanswered. I would respectfully remind you that the rep is looking after all our clients in the same area at the time of your stay and is not a personal representative to you only. If any of the responses were delayed, she may have been assisting other clients. I can again only apologise if you felt the rep service was lacking in any way and i can assure you that this was in no way intentional. As advised above, a full response to all of the issues raised was sent to you last week so please do let me know if you are unable to locate this in your junk email.
