GBReally 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

GBHORRIBLE SERVICE Gorgeous apartments but HORRIBLE customer service. Firstly they demanded a £400 deposit which wasn’t evidenced anywhere on the booking confirmation, booking page or website. Then said that i would be refunded between 5-7 working days. Its been 3 weeks and i’ve still not been refunded. Their customer service team isn’t the best. They take super long to reply to emails and just stop replying 2 emails in. Then they lied to us on the phone saying monzo will take a little longer to refund (makes No sense because i’ve never had an issue with monzo refunds taking any longer than 3 days). I then sent them another email which they then said my bank is the issue. When in reality it’s them holding the funds!! Now i’ve been on a live chat with them and they’re claiming that the funds were never taken??? This is extremely stressful and ridiculous to go through during a pandemic.

GBWith the ongoing coronavirus epidemic I… With the ongoing coronavirus epidemic I tried to cancel my booking with Saco Aparthotel Farnborough even though I was aware that had a non-refundable stay booked. Thinking they would be sympathetic about my situation, 12 week isolation, no job, no money coming in, all that I received was a curt message from an online advisor saying they had to stick to the no refund policy. Disgusting when I have seen small hotels waiving the no refund policy and giving full refund. Not good enough from a 'supposedly' award winning business. Shame on you.

GBGrossly misleading rates Tried to book an apartment through the webpage sacoapartments.com. The experience was ridiculously bad. The rate published (after entering the actual dates) did not match at all with the actual offer - it was almost double the published price. STAY AWAY.

GBUntrustworthy In January 2023 my partner booked a two bedroom apartment at the SACO Cardiff for two nights for the 26th and 27th of May 2023 at a cost of £465. This was overnight accommodation for our wedding celebrations held nearby. A point the establishment were aware of. On the 05/05/2023 (three weeks before the wedding) my partner received a standard email via booking.com advising us our accommodation had been cancelled as SACO Cardiff had double booked.No further explanation was offered. I made contact with SACO Cardiff on the 06/05/2023 for further information and was advised the booking had been cancelled by head office, as they had another guest who wanted the accommodation for a long term booking. I was astounded that a supposedly reputable company such as SACO behaves in such a way. Especially when other guests of the wedding were still booked at the accommodation and hadn’t had their reservation cancelled. The only conclusion I can draw from this experience is for guests to be aware when making a reservation , that it isn’t guaranteed. There is no level of trust with this company, who will clearly cancel your stay at short notice, if another person wants to stay longer or offer more money for your apartment.
