AVOID THIS SITE! IT COSTS WAY TOO MUCH!!!

Just got my phone bill and it’s got a £40 charge for making a call from the beach to sort out a group holiday that cost £15,000 because you couldn’t book it online. Properly shocking way to treat customers, especially when you’re spending that much on a holiday with them. The holiday’s all sorted now, but I’m never gonna pay for that kind of call again, so they’re only harming themselves in the long run.

Ridiculous how much they charged me, £28 just to talk to On the Beach holidays. If I’d known it would cost that much, I definitely wouldn’t have gone ahead and booked with them!!!

I ended up paying £20.12 to ring this number! Definitely not using the beach for bookings anymore!

Got hit with a £29 charge just for making a call on the beach!! Proper rubbish if you ask me.

I had to call them from the beach to fix an error they made regarding a holiday I had booked. It ended up costing me £24.93, which is just ridiculous. Really annoyed about it all. I’m planning to write a complaint email about this.

This phone number just ended up taking £56.52 from my account. When I tried to get things sorted by calling Sky, the person who answered didn’t speak English well, so I couldn’t explain the situation properly. From what I can gather reading other comments, this number is linked to On The Beach. Feeling properly scammed here.

I had to ring On The Beach and ended up waiting on hold for nearly 91 minutes out of a 92-minute call. When the bill came through, it was a staggering £79! I've now put in a complaint and they say they’re investigating it. Honestly, my advice is don’t bother calling these lot. They’re just a bunch of rip-off artists. If they don’t refund me, you’ll definitely see me blowing up social media about this.

Ridiculous really, I just noticed a £17 charge on my bill from calling this number - turns out it’s from On the Beach. Totally shocked!

I was just at the seaside and noticed a number popping up. Honestly, don’t bother ringing back, it’s ridiculously expensive!!

I rang On The Beach to sort out some details about my holiday since I have a disability. Was shock to find out I got charged £4.50 just for 8 minutes on the phone, and then after a couple more calls, my bill went up by nearly £10! Proper rip off that is. Honestly, I’m done with them and will book my breaks with someone else from now on. Heard from [#][#]saynoto0870[###]/ that they actually have a normal landline: 0161 444 8416. Also, if anyone wants to make a complaint, you can contact their complaints line on 0371 474 3000. Thought I’d share in case it helps anyone else!

Tried booking my holiday online but ended up having to call them because it wasn’t working. Didn’t expect it to be so expensive though! Spent 28 minutes on the phone and got charged £22.50 just for the call, on top of paying a big amount for the holiday itself. Proper rip-off if you ask me.

Had a terrible experience with [###] at the beach. Definitely not going back to them anytime soon.

Once more we fell for what looked like a trustworthy firm, only to find out they don't properly say you get charged for ringing their 'customer service'. Talk about irony! It says 13p per minute, but a call lasting over 9 minutes set us back £6.23. No way am I calling them again. In the long run, they'll be the ones losing out. People talk, and that kind of gossip still carries a lot of weight - they’d do well to keep that in mind.

I rang this number and spoke to someone right away, then asked if they could call me back. They actually did, which was a relief. It helped me avoid paying ridiculous fees, although getting to that point still set me back more than £2.
7 years
Was on the beach when they rang up about some refund, but never said a word about the ridiculous £24 I got charged for three calls trying to sort it out. Their customer service seems to be there to help themselves, not us. They give a refund with one hand, then snatch it right back with the other. Typical!

Had to shell out 12 quid because the site wouldn’t let me sort out an issue with my holiday. Proper annoying.

Honestly, I don't see how people still fall for this. Don't ever ring back numbers you don't recognise, simple as that. It's not exactly complicated to figure out. Like they say, a fool and their cash are soon separated!

I only ended up calling them since they never sent me any booking confirmation, which was their mistake. When I got the bill, it was £115, way more than the usual £30! Seriously, don’t ring them unless you want them to call you first.

Blimey, seems like a few folks got caught out by that classic trick - calling this number ends up costing you a fair bit. Some people really take the bait. Hopefully, they’ve learned their lesson this time around?

I booked my holiday through ONTHEBEACH[###] but never got an email confirmation. I ended up having to ring them and was left waiting on hold for more than 45 minutes. By the time I finished, my phone bill had shot up over 60 quid. Feels like they just want you to call so they can rip you off!

Honestly, these lot should be dressed up like robbers with masks and stripes or something. They ring up about your reservation and then try to rip you off for £15. Absolutely no shame in it. I really hope they end up broke.

I just found out it was from On the Beach, the holiday company. They sent me an email about our booking and now I've been charged almost £13. Definitely won’t fall for that again, next time I’ll just email them instead of calling.

I recently booked a trip, but instead of getting a confirmation, it just said pending! Then I received a text telling me to ring them, no actual call. The call cost me 13p a minute and after about 10 mins, they wanted to verify my card details, saying it was to prevent fraud since my holiday is coming up. Feels like On The Beach might actually be the ones pulling a fast one here. They said I’ll get a call back in 10 minutes, so now I’m just hanging on...

we booked a holiday with on the beach but they called and said there were no seats left on the flight so they cancelled it. they told me to ring them back on 08714743000 which ended up costing me £8.71 for the call, all because i had to sort another holiday out. defo not using them again! Ill

Really annoyed about this. I think my grandson let someone he trusted borrow his phone, which he probably shouldn’t have. Ended up with a bill of almost £35 for a 51 minute call about a holiday he wasn’t even planning to go on. What a mess.

We found a holiday online and emailed them about it from the beach. Then they got back to us saying they’d been trying to reach us to talk about our trip plans, asking us to ring 0871 474 3000 and press option 2 when we had a moment. We’re always cautious with unfamiliar numbers, especially after seeing others on here who received messages to ring back, only to get hit with big charges. Seems like a proper scam to me. The number is 7227222972.

They kept hanging up on me over and over, so now my bill has this weird £13.45 charge on it. So annoying!
