Impossible to cancel a booking despite "free cancellation" Booked via Booking.com. Impossible to cancel again via this site despite saying free cancellation. Tried cancelling via Saco, also not possible. Saco staff told me to call Agoda (apparently booking.com went through them). Also impossible to get through to a human being on the phone. Absolute waste of time going round in circles. If you need to cancel a booking here it will be impossible and an absolute nightmare. Save yourself the stress and book elsewhere.

Really saved the day! We were having a nightmare of a day when our apartment got cancelled last minute. A friend recommended SACO and we managed to get a booking at the Holborn branch. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Nathan, Andreea, Kamila and Theron really made sure everything was perfect with our stay. The apartment was beautiful. The price very affordable and the service was excellent. Nathan even kindly upgraded us for free which just topped off our day. Will definitely be staying again. 10/10

THE WORST ACCOMODATION THAT I HAVE STAYED IN IN MY 52 YEARS I visited the South West for a long weekend and stayed in Bristol in a beautiful apartment in Clifton Village. On the last day, Sunday which was Mothering Sunday I checked into SACO Bath to see my son. I was given room 7 which annexed the hotel. From check in to check out the noise was unbearable. I was unsure what the noise was it sounded like a lift crashing so called the Night Duty Security three time, on the last call he admitted that the noise was coming from the traffic on the road. I looked outside of the window in the morning and was in shock. The windows were filthy and had bars attached. This room was like a prison cell. Behind the window was a tunnel which was just below the road. Everytime a car/van/lorry drove over this spot it would make this almighty noise each time. This continued from check in to check out. Adjoining the said room 7 is a parking area, by 6.30am this was filled with lorries doing their Monday morning deliveries, the first one was a Superdrug delivery. SACO are fully aware that this room is inhabitable yet due to greed try to get away with it as not everyone will complain. I did complaint and was given an instant refund, my view they know of the issues with this room. My suggestion to them was to make this room a store room and do not inconvenience customers. I had to take a nap in the service station on my 4 hour trip back to London, I was shattered having not slept that night. I wouldnt use their apartments again. ive stayed at two different companies and experienced nothing of this nature.

Cancelled 10 days prior to our flight! I booked a week at SACO Broad Quay in Bristol for our wedding anniversary, flying in from abroad where we live. Two weeks prior to our flight I received an email saying the apartments were closing permanently due to structural issues. I was offered no alternative accommodation or a refund and spent all weekend (Bank holiday for the Queens funeral) on the phone trying to get a refund from Hotels.com and SACO. I eventually received a full refund but then had to find alternative accommodation which with less than 2 weeks notice was not only stressful but more expensive. This trip was booked as our friends are coming to see us in Greece for a week and we are flying back with them and they are dropping us off in Bristol on their way back home. It also happens to be our anniversary that weekend so the whole experience was stressing me out as it ties up with other people not just us. SACO should have a process of contacting people to cancel and offering alternative accommodation or a refund. It’s not rocket science it’s simple admin.

SACO fails in multiple ways I booked a SACO apartment in Cardiff through Expedia in mid-November 2023 for a stay on 7-11 March 2024. On 15 February, 2024, I received a message that the booking had been cancelled due to "overbooking." This prompted me to ask how was I able to book it in November but four months later it's "overbooked." I logged into the SACO AI concierge, or maybe it shifted to a human concierge at some point. Who can tell? The SACO rep told me it was an overbooking issue. Then it was a "maintenance" issue. Which is it, I asked? Overbooking due to maintenance, I was told. So they know in mid-February that the property won't be repaired by early-March? And/or they've overbooked. I learned my lesson: don't count on SACO for lodgings or a straight answer.
