Something wrong with the App

The App has wiped out all my past bookings and two future ones, can’t seem to get this fixed despite a couple of phone calls. Is there a problem?

Honest reviews

This was our first time using Sykes and it definitely won’t be our last! We were really impressed with the whole experience. The property was exactly as described, which made booking and arriving so much easier and gave us peace of mind that everything would be as expected.

We had a lovely stay and would happily use Sykes again for our next holiday. Highly recommend! 😊
