I have been having an issue with a holiday deposit refund which has now been sorted, not by the agency I had booked with, but by the kindness of the owner.
All I wanted to do was move the date and became a nightmare.

But I wanted to share that a companies are starting to alter the T&C's. This to me seems rather one sided and unreasonable. So if you get corona or say the country is in lockdown, you loose your deposit. If the owner gets coronoa and property is unavailable you lose your deposit.

At moment I dont feel comfy i booking holidays and will try and do some last minute ones.

12. Pandemic

From 24th of March 2020 all new bookings and bookings with amendments after this date (to previously existing bookings), have been agreed and made by the Hirer with knowledge of the existence of the global Coronavirus pandemic. The Agent and Owner will therefore not consider a refund or change of dates to any booking which is cancelled by the Hirer, as a result of disruption (of any nature) arising as a result of the pandemic, nor will they be liable for any refund if the Owner is unable to make the property available for the Hire Period as a result of disruption arising from the pandemic.

We are booked to go to Disneyland Paris end of July and have been trying to get a refund or move the date to sometime in the future. It was all paid up so it was looking like we had to choose between risking going or wave goodbye to the money and the holiday, but luckily while Disneyland and the hotels are opening, the Davey Crocket ranch will be shut so looks like we will be getting a full refund.

Seems far to soon to be thinking about holidays, things can happen so quickly at the moment and the last thing we would want is to be abroad and worrying about an outbreak.

That was same reasoning for me as I don't see wearing masks and booking into pubs or crossing pavements a great holiday experience for me and the kids.

I luckily have had most of the deposit back.
