We stayed here to relax during the Fall-o-Ween event held at Knott's Berry Farm. The room looked a little dated (like straight from the late '80s), but otherwise very quaint and cozy. The rooms were very clean, the beds very firm (to our own personal liking), and the A/C was phenomenal (we had a small heat wave, so it was very nice to have the A/C). The only complaint was that the closet doors were very loud when opening them - they banged really loudly against the walls, so maybe the facilities maintenance can put a little bumper to soften the noise?
Our only disappointment came when we went to the pool (after making a reservation with Bell Desk). We noticed that we were given colored strips to put on our left wrist to signify our time at the pool (from 9:30-11pm). Once we got to the pool we saw that there were a LOT of other families that have stayed WELL beyond their given time, and after about 10 minutes, we felt it was best to go back to the room. While we understand that there were reservations in place, we had no control over how the reservations would be honored by the families staying at Knott's. Other than this, we were quite happy with our stay here at Knott's.

Your next holiday is only a click away - our website has thousands of options ready to book. But if you need more help, just give us a call on 0344 472 9646.

Log in to Manage my booking where you can message us about your options or you can give us a call. Bear in mind you may have to wait longer than expected. We continue to review this and working to open up these options to more customers. In the meantime check out our FAQs to see if this can help answer any immediate questions.
Rest assured; we will notify you as soon as we know if your holiday has been affected.

Don’t worry if you’ve missed a payment or just need a little more time to pay; we have options available to help you. If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options. If your holiday is more than 6 months away, you may wish to set up a Direct Debit to spread the cost. This can be arranged whilst rebooking or afterwards in Manage my booking.
We understand that you may wish to change your holiday plans and we appreciate the need for flexibility.

If we haven’t notified you of any changes, your holiday will be going ahead as planned but if you prefer to move your holiday to a later time we can help. You can call our team on 0344 472 9499 who can look at options for you.
Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
