Algarve Vacation Recenzje 

they never answer calls, all via email. Also our data seems to have been compromised as constantly getting emails and messages from fraudsters knowing everything about the booking and propurting to cancel if more payments are not made.

Great location just a short walk from the beach. The high street nearby had everything we needed, supermarkets, restaurants, and plenty of options to explore. Lots to do around the area, perfect for a relaxing and fun stay. Would definitely come back!

ALGARVE VACATION IS A SCAM

I went to a villa VILLA BERMUDA with my family. We were firstly greeted by cleaners that had clearly just arrived before us, rushing around and trying to get the place half decent. With a foul smell in the kitchen, cigarette butts and algae around the pool, they clearly did not do a great job. We firstly took photos of the damages to the villa such as chairs, sun loungers and multiple broken locks on the doors. We emailed Algarve Vacations with the photos of the damages, THEY ARE NOW WITHOLDING MY £500 DEPOSIT USING THE PHOTOS I TOOK. They are accusing us of these damages, it was evident there was no prior inspection to the villa as the cleaners arrived shortly before us. I will edit and change this review if and when my deposit is refunded. So far they are ignoring me and witholding my deposit.

Wish there was a negative star option…

Family of 7 all very excited to start off our holiday in lovely Portugal we soon realised that this wasn’t the case… Upon arrival we had realised many faults within the villa such as the safe not locking, mostly all locks broken on the doors, bottom of the pool had broken tiles, very strange fusty/damp smell about the place, cleaner still there upon our arrival, broken sun loungers, hygiene overall was a negative, I couldn’t really see what the cleaners had actually done. We took many pics of these things not even mentioning the live wires hanging out of the broken sockets but the list goes on! Then to be told at the end of our holiday back home trying to redeem our deposit, that WE have damaged the place. There isn’t anything in the place to damage to be quite honest, I couldn’t name one thing that was decent quality, all hanging on there by a thread. It’s a disgrace to even let people pay that price in the first place! We have still not revived our deposit back and the company itself is ignoring us…AVOID AVOID AVOID

We had a wonderful holiday at Venice Apartment , Albufeira .
Seamless process from booking
until our departure.
The apartment had everything we wished for to make our holiday one of the best .
The presentation of the apartment was second to none and we will definitely return in the future .
The pool area was superb, plenty sunbeds and lovely grass area which was well maintained and always relaxing as not busy.
The location of the apartment is excellent , close to the main strip
and also the old town, however, situated in a quiet and peaceful street.

Please please do not book through this company!! We booked through VRBO who we have used on our last 4 trips to Portugal but they 3rd partied it to algarve vacation.
We stayed at Villa bermudas in quinta da balia, a lovely area. The villa had been advertised as 5 star but when we arrived we were greeted with the cleaners who had only arrived at the same time as us 1600. They threw a few buckets of water round then left. We looked around the villa and were horrified to find none of the doors could be locked, 1 had been forced open and the lock was hanging off. The safe was damaged and fid nit work, the bathrooms were old and all had blocked plughole and one of the showers was over a bath which had a rust hole in it. Shower curtains were all filthy, the blankets on the bed were old dirty hairy disgusting things. The place smelt of damp, the pool had a layer of green algae on it and had broken tiles. All of the furniture both inside and out was broken including the sunbeds, chairs etc. Within 1 hour of arriving I had sent several emails and was told it was an operational fault. I asked to be moved to another property but had no response. On day 2 a man arrived to repair most of the door locks and the cleaners appeared again armed with a bucket and a mop. They could not clean the pool but took pictures of it and agreed it could not be used. On Tuesday, day 3, a man arrived and cleaned the pool however until the Wednesday, day 4 , it was unusable as the water was very merky. We had sockets broken off the wall, lights missing exposing live wired, beds that I did not feel comfortable on etc. Despite me reporting these problems, not much was done about it. We had to go out every day as the villa really was not a place to relax. The final insult is that when I got home to begin my compensation request, I received an email from algarve vacation saying they are withholding my deposit due to damage caused. I dont think it would have been possible to cause any more damage to this villa and I await their evidence of the damage. The kitchen was filthy and was equipped with disgusting cutting boards, dirty stained pots, broken doors, no kickboards so dirt was gathered under cupboards. I can prove every fact above and mote with the photos I have taken so algarve vacation have a fight on their hands. Please contact me if anyone wants to see the state this villa was on. DO NOT USE ALGARVE VACATION AND FO NOT STAY AT VILLA BERMUDAS !!

Stayed in one of your Marina villas, it was very very poor.
Out of date, walls were very dirty, broken tiles everywhere in pool area, very dangerous.
3 balconies'but NOT ONE OUTSIDE PEICE OF FURNITURE TO SIT ON OR A TABLE TO PUT A DRINK ON.
Bathrooms very disgusting ... old .... dark, no shower options.
we stayed for 9 nights, and not once did any housekeeping visit to refresh villa, laundry , or check pool hygiene.
Over priced , over rated ..totally disappointing ...horrible

Otimo serviço, rapidos a responder e prontos a esclarecer e ajudar em tudo

The villa itself was first class and all communication was easy and effective.

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful villa. It’s in a great location about a 10 minute walk from a beautiful beach with fabulous beach bar. The town itself is a bit further away - a 30min walk or 5 mins by car. There are also 2 fabulous restaurants within walking distance of the villa. The villa had everything we needed for our stay and we were really grateful for the little things like the ample supply of towels and starter pack of cleaning products. The villa was very spacious with lots of areas to hang out in and the pool was fab. Thank you to Olivia and the team for your great communication and support during our stay!

Please read before you book!!!!!

Vila Sol Vilamoura

While the booking process itself was straightforward and we appreciated the inclusion of airport pickup and return, the overall experience fell significantly short of expectations. Please find a summary of the issues encountered:
• Airport Pickup: Despite being offered airport transfers, the driver did not arrive until approximately 40 minutes after we had collected our luggage. I called your office twice during this time and was incorrectly told on both occasions that the driver was already present.
• Check-in Procedure: Check-in was not permitted until 4 PM, and we were not allowed to leave our luggage at the villa in the interim. This forced us to travel all the way to Albufeira and back. Charging guests for this inconvenience is, in our view, unreasonable.
• Early Access Refused: We were traveling with a 9-month-old baby, as mentioned in prior email correspondence. Denying early access—without offering any alternative, even for an additional fee—was extremely disappointing and lacking in basic hospitality.
• Misleading Advertisements: The villa does not resemble the images advertised online. The discrepancy between the actual condition of the property and the promotional images constitutes false advertising.
• Poor Condition of Villa:
o We vacated the property within 1.5 hours due to its unacceptable condition and secured alternative accommodation.
o Dirty cloths were found in two rooms.
o A bathmat was carelessly left on the bathroom floor.
o Severely damaged kitchen units
o Sign stating “do not put toilet paper down the toilet as it will block”, putting sanitary toilet paper in a bin is very unhygienic.
o The general state of the interior was poor and not as represented online.
o A dehumidifier was running on the ground floor, indicating possible damp issues—highly concerning given the presence of an infant.
• Lack of Support: Throughout this experience, it was extremely difficult to get in touch with your team. Calls went unanswered, and no assistance or alternatives were offered.
• Ongoing External Work: While we understand that construction work may be outside your control, you failed to inform us about this in advance. This is especially concerning given our prior notice about traveling with a baby and our desire for a peaceful, relaxing stay.

Fantastic villa, booked via VRBO but then passed to Algarve Vacations to deal with ,Villa Casa Das Dunas, Algarve. They were fantastic to deal with, villa was a little tired in the odd place but it added to the charm. The location was absolutely stunning, it was huge, it was certainly large enough for our group, we absolutely loved it.
Olivia Grimes was just amazing ,so much so we have just come back and booked another villa with them for our group for next year.

Great customer service. Clear and honest information and very helpful. Always superbly fast in answering e-mails.

We want to warn future travelers about our experience with Algarve Vacation. After an otherwise pleasant stay at Villa Laura in Albufeira, we were confronted with a damage claim for a glass door that we did not use during our time at the property. The door in question was locked for the entire duration of our stay. After expert evaluation based on the photos, the crack in the glass appears to be a so-called edge crack, which is highly unlikely to be caused by human interaction. These types of cracks typically result from internal stress, temperature changes, or flaws in the glass itself.

Despite our explanation and the fact that we are fully insured through travel and liability insurance (so it is not in our interest to withhold any damage), €560,88 was withheld from our credit card deposit without further discussion. At no point we were given the opportunity to dispute these claims before the deposit was withheld.

Communication was difficult, as the company was only reachable via email, and responses were often delayed. It took almost 2 months before we received a quote or invoice and timestamped photos related to the alleged damage. Even now, not all of our questions have been answered.

We also encourage others to read the reviews on Trustpilot: 29% of them are negative, and many describe similar experiences involving damage claims after checkout.

We find this an unreasonable and unfair practice, and we feel that costs were wrongly charged to us. Unfortunately, this has significantly impacted our overall holiday experience. We advise others booking through Algarve Vacation to be extremely cautious and to thoroughly document the condition of the property both at check-in and check-out.

What an amazing villa!! We went as a group of 8 lads and all had the greatest experience in Albufeira, mainly due to the villa we stayed in. Really ideal location, brilliant modern layout and facilities. The service provided by the agency was quality as well, very welcoming and friendly. Overall, it was the best holiday we’ve had and we will definitely be looking to book this every time we come to Albufeira.

Special shout out to Olivia Grimes! Very friendly service and always replied to all the questions we had!

Villa was brilliant. Company were great to deal with and available to chat to whenever needed.

From initial booking, to arrival at our accommodation, the service we received from Algarve Vacation was excellent. The villa exceeded expectations, and was clean throughout on arrival. We had plenty of room as a big group, and were
contacted a couple of times throughout our stay to check
everything was as it should be. Wouldn't hesitate to return to Villa Eagles Nest and certainly use Algarve Vacation again.

We stayed in Villa Borocay. It was a lovely villa, but it was infested with ants. We reported this to Algarve Vacation and they said they would send someone out; they didn’t. They just told us to buy products from the supermarket, which we did, but couldn’t put it everywhere as we had a crawling baby. 2 days after returning from our holiday we were told we had caused damage to the property and wouldn’t be returning our security deposit, but they wouldn’t tell us what damage we had caused. 9 days after we returned they sent us photos of damaged towels and an invoice. They hadn’t even washed them!! They did not provide a bathmat for the bathroom so we used a towel, which got dirty and covered in dead ants. This is not our fault. They have returned some of the security deposit, but not all.
