Vietnam & Cambodia Tour with Internal Flights, Ha Long Bay Cruise & Angkor Wat Visit Operated By: LE Trusted Partner Tours We had a terrible time overall. The ground operator [Name Removed] is lovely but I feel we have been very misled with this trip. She worked hard to get us upgraded in hotels as the ones that were booked should not be booked… Read more

for westerner travellers imo. Booking with Luxury escapes was the first misleading thing. This is not luxury tour. We have already spent over $1200 locally upgrading all our hotels and the cruise. The 3 star trashholes that were booked for us should not be sold to Australian travellers.

We booked our own flights from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap as we don’t want to waste another 6 hours on a bus with a company that rips its passengers off. We lost AU$250 at the Vietnam border which we believe the bus tour guide scammed us to get us through the border. She also did some dodgy trash with our passports at the duty free shop at the border, which when questioned about it left us feeling very unsafe. This whole “tour” as you called it had been emotionally draining and expensive. I am so angry and tired with all the trash we have had to deal with. You should not be booking tours in Vietnam with these hotels and ground operators. [Name Removed], the ground operator was lovely and helped fix most of the issues.

Prior to travelling it was hard get hold of an itinerary and their agents refused to provide one so that we could secure pre and post hotels. They said they would only send one up to 4 weeks prior. This is a st^pid policy. The whole experience with Scoopon travel was terrible to be honest. You never said anywhere in your advertising that the hotels would be nasty 3 star accommodation. We only found this out shortly before arriving when we advised local operator [Name Removed] to rebook them to at least 4 star. Even in the itinerary you sent to us does not mention these are three star hotels. The fact you advertised as a luxury escape implied that they would be 4*+

Purchased a Scoopon holiday package at Paradise Resort for 3-8 Dec of this year. For myself, hubby and our 4 children. We are from Melbourne so naturally we booked our flights to the Gold Coast. I get an email from Paradise Resort on 24 Sep stating that (the main reason for our stay) their LARGE WATERPARK will be closed during the entire… Read more

duration of our stay. We have FOUR children. Aged 5-12. The waterpark was the selling point for our family.

Because we have to keep our flights unchanged we need alternate accommodation during this period. At a resort with all facilities and amenities AVAILABLE to their guests. Scoopon refuses to provide a refund to our original payment method. Even though - under the Australian Consumer Law, I am entitled to a full refund due to a major failure to provide services as advertised. The water park was the primary reason for choosing this accommodation, and its closure represents a significant change to the value of the package I paid for. I do not accept a credit, as I still have accomodation to pay for in Dec and I do not accept a 50% cash refund (this is what scoopon offered me because im OUTSIDE OF THEIR 'CHANGE OF MIND' window. Like ive changed my mind now??? How disgusting) and to be out of pocket due to the resort failing to have all facilities open and scoopon failing to provide what was advertised on their voucher.

I am so sick of companies taking advantage of customers, knowing they are acting unlawfully. I want my refund to my original payment method due to a fault that was NOT OURS.

I have attached proof of our flights booking as well as the email from Paradise Resort.

We stayed at the Equatorial Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The service and staff at this hotel were outstanding . The breakfast, that was included was so wholesome and choices were too much to avail ourselves of. The location is excellent, 10 minute walk to the iconic Twin Towers, 5 minute walk to the monorail. Show details ·  1

Excellent booking service! – First time booking luxury all-inclusive package deal & we couldn't have been happier... Ulu Segara was everything the promo promised & more! The extra customer service support provided through Scoopon's Mohammed A. was excellent in assisting us to change our dates by a few days just a couple of weeks before our booking. I really couldn't recommend Scoopon more highly! Show reply

Don't Trust Their 7 Day Refund Policy – I bought a Scoopon travel voucher that has a 7 day no questions asked refund clause. 3 days after purchase we changed our mind on travel and requested our money back. After 4 emails, two unanswered phone calls, 1 online chat (that went nowhere) we FINALLY got a response where they said they wouldn't give a refund. They cannot be trusted and are… Read more

absolute liars.

Cropped summary is attached as proof.

EDIT: I finally got in touch through their phone line (third time's the charm) and they processed a refund.

The Scoopon deal provided a free room upgrade which was done, however, the deal also included daily 2 course lunch or dinner, now everyone says to read the fine print which I did and there was no other details available. So this enables the hotel to provide you with their set menu, this is completely different to their normal menu for example a… Read more

dinner would consist of a bowl of Dahl and some nan bread or a bowl of curry (no rice) as the main course and some ice cream with French toast or something similar for desert. So if you expect a decent meal with the deal you would be disappointed. Overall package was ok but the meal part was bad especially considering how much food in Bali costs elsewhere.

Do not buy any gift vouchers. from my personal experience I wish I never went on their sight and I wish I never went ahead with the purchase. Their gift vouchers are complicated for the recipient. Firstly it has the price written on it then for them to use the voucher they have to go on their sight register to activate and it expires. Had I known… Read more

this I would have never gone ahead with the purchase. Tried to call back customer service for refund, they don't refund so you are stuck with this voucher and it is not even presentable as a gift. Customer service unhelpful they do not listen or even willing to help. extremely disappointed would not recommend them or purchase anything from the,m.

Bali Tropical Nusa Dua Escape, The Nest Hotel, Breakfast, lunch or dinner included plus daily cocktail and more, $655.00 for 7 days, too good to be true, not a chance.

unable to fix it. Only 1 lift working at present, upon asking another guest whom was checking out after 2 days there had been no lifts for the previous 2 days. Being 76 and 80 years of age we did not fancy walking 6 floors to get drinks or a meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were of the same very small menu all, Indonesian. Cocktails were all made on Arak no other sprits were available. Very nasty smell onces you reached the 6 floor we then decided it was not worth the effort and decided to check out. The Manager Kevin advise that a refund would be avilailable less 1 day which we agreed but could not give it to us as Scoopon had not as yet paid him We hade paid for the holiday 6 months previous. Scoopon has decided NO REFUND even though the hotel agreeded to a refund Scoopon advised we could transfer to someone else at a cost. Our driver whom we had know for a number of years after we rang him to pick us back up, quote "that was longer than I though it would take". We asked what the smell was " thats because the sewage works for the whole of Nusa Dua is at their back door". Thats the loverly blue pond area in the photo, great photo shop job. Did anyone at Scoopon check this so called hotel out before they advertised it. As like most people its seems have we lost our money, probably. Would I take another Scoopon, not a chance.

Urgent - Issue with Father's Day Gift Vouchers (Unresolved for Over a Month) – I received three gift vouchers from my children as a Father’s Day present, but unfortunately, the vouchers are not redeemable.

I’m beginning to doubt whether they’re willing to resolve this, as it surely doesn’t take this long to investigate.

I had some confusion regarding the transfers required and contacted resort to find there was one not as I was given to believe . I rang Scoopon and spoke to a customer service person with a minute .That was Bryan who then went to great lengths to solve my concerns .He kept in contact with me then later he rang and all is well .It was a misunderstanding on my part .Do check fine print as it matters .So a big thanks to Bryan .It's a long time since I had such good service

Up and Above expectation – I just had to share my fantastic experience with Kam R! He went above and beyond to help me transfer a nearly expired gift coupon into my name.
