Hi Eric! We’re sorry to hear the trip wasn’t as comfortable as expected. The service you booked was a standard shared transfer, which may include multiple stops and limited luggage space. Travel times can also vary slightly depending on traffic and local conditions. We’ll share your feedback with the operator to help improve the experience for future travelers. The Bookaway Team

In my 1 week stay in Costa Rica, 3 of my trips were cancelled. You reply back to their email and get error messages. Been back 23 days, still haven't processed my refund. They cancel a trip and you have to provide the proof. No accountability. No I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The fact that you have to fight to get your money back on a cancelled trip from them! Unacceptable & unprofessional! Customer service is lengthy, "Their team is still working on it". You reply to their messages, get an error message. Every time you respond another agent responds to you, so you have to repeat yourself instead of them reading the email thread. Which just adds to their delayed "team working on it"!

We booked a private shuttle in Egypt from Giza to Safaga. It went very well over this plattform. At first I booked the wrong date, but I could cancel, got a voucher and book the correct date instead. The shuttle company was in touch with us via WhatsApp and everything went fine.

I booked premium class train tickets for the Mombasa to Nairobi train with Bookaway, essentially because it is nigh on impossible to book direct with the rail company as a foreigner. They responded quickly whenever I had a query and so I have no criticism of their service. My one slight gripe is the very large commission they take as I paid about double the cost quoted on the actual ticket. It is a very comfortable way to travel though!

In Tanzania I booked my ticket from dar es salaam to Dodoma. Booking reference number: BW4212666. Morning 6am train. Upon reaching the station I was told that the ticket was never payed for though I paid to bookaway. I had to pay again for same journey. Not sure if I will get my refund back ?

We booked bus tickets from Hurghada to Cairo departing 8am. Several days before, I asked if we could change the departure time to 9am but were told this wasn't possible. So we woke up at 6am, rushed through breakfast to get to the Go bus station before 8am only to be turned away from the bus because Bookaway issued tickets departing 9:30am! So we are now waiting at the bus station for an hour and a half with no air conditioning and flies everywhere and we'll be arriving at Cairo later than planned.

We booked through Bookaway, expecting a 3-hour transfer to Cat Ba. It took 6.5 hours, we missed our cruise, and faced extra costs. Despite clear evidence the delay was due to poor planning, Bookaway sided with the operator and offered only 10% refund. They claim the service was “completed” even though it arrived hours late. Zero accountability and no protection for customers. Would not book with them again.

Before we left Australia, our booking from Gili T to Sanur was changed to 9 am, which wasn't an issue. However, on the day we were booked, it was 10:30 am, not 9 am, after we rushed to get there for 8 am. Secondly, the ferry trip wasn't bad, but the shuttle service from PadangBai to Sanur was atrocious. The van was hot, my son's seat swayed, and every time we took a corner, it threw him into the door. My husband sat in the front with a hole under his feet and hot air from the road coming up. There was a gap in the door next to him that felt like it was going to open at any time. I would not recommend this service ever!

Hi Prudence, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the discomfort you faced during the shuttle service. This is not the standard we strive for, and your feedback is crucial for us to improve our services. We are currently reviewing the details of your journey to address these issues with our partners. We’ve reached out to you privately to better understand what happened and help make things right. Warm regards, Team Bookaway

Bookaway uses vendors but you would be better off booking directly with the vendors. Pickup locations and times are often incorrect. If you do book call the vendor information and find out the time and pickup location yourself to save yourself a lot of anxiety and stress. Pickup locations and drop off locations are not always in the best parts of town especially during night. So, communicate with your driver and ask eta so that you can have your uber waiting for you or picking you up within a couple of minutes of arrival. Also be aware a lot of the so called five star ratings have poor review comments. So read the comments

Bookaway is a total scam. We booked a €100 luxury van transportation. The driver arrived 2 hours 30 minutes late and in an old vehicle without A/C (in the scorching heat). When I asked for a refund the company declined an offered €13 as a "gesture of good will". Avoid at all cost

Bookaway is not reliable. My experienced of booking a ferry with them was a long process they took the payment but the confirmation of my booking was a big wait. I’ve waited for more than 6 hours to received the booking confirmation, anyway the trip has been cancelled. It was a big mistake of booking through them although they refunded the payment but there was already a transaction fee. Never use this booking site again .
