Accomodation Change

[AliFlump]

My travel agent has just called to say that they have double booked the 2 bed,self catering villa i booked to stay in on 15th aug for 2 weeks and can put me in a Twin bed b & b instead. i said no thanks i booked a villa and i want a villa. They said that i wont get compensation as the b & b is better than self C so that cancels out the fact that im going from a villa into a room! My options are cancelling free of charge, changing to a different holiday and paying the difference if its more or taking their option. Ive asked them to find me another villa in the same place and i dont expect to pay anymore. I booked it 3 weeks ago. I dont think a twin b & b is the same as a villa! Does anyone no if i have any rights or any suggestions of what i can do? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Aliflump,some years ago,I was double booked,and was being asked to pay for an upgrade,because nothing similar to what I had originally booked was available. I was advised to contact A.b.t.a. Association of British Travel Agents.They sorted the problem for me,because the double booking was the agent's fault,and therefore up to them to provide what I had wanted.Check out their website for address etc.Good luck!
