Bookaway's level of service is very poor. Firstly, don't ever try to book a ticket less than 24 hours in advance, as Bookaway will take your money but might not send you the confirmation in time so you will be left without a ticket. If you try to call their support line, no one will answer, but you will be told you are #1 in the queue for all eternity. Finally, they will ask you for a review after you use a service, but if it is negative they will not post it publicly. Very dishonest company.

Service très médiocre, aucun moyen de les avoir par téléphone pour poser une question. Il y a avait un service de pick-up à l'hôtel mais comme impossible de les avoir au téléphone, impossible donc de demander. Résultat un tuktuk jusqu'à l'agence...

I used bookaway to book a fast ferry from el nido to coron and i really loved the experience. The website is neat and organized with very clear information on what to expect! The pricing is very transparent so you only pay for what you see. No hidden charges. It was very smooth and fast.

Not stress free but stressfull! No one knew who tour agent was so was left standing around. Was then told we missed the coach as the train was late. Utter lie, train was on time. On the return journey got left in the middle of surat thani and told to pay and get on a local bus to the train station. Paper work provided was uninformative to both english and thai people. Avoid at all costs.

Bookaway sells ferry tickets that they are known to cancel within hours of departure. At this point when you get to the ferry company window, they charge you prefer than 3 times the original price to take a "private ferry" it is part of a huge scam and many people have been taken already. Do some research on Facebook and see for yourself. It's happened on almost all there routes. They don't offer services with the more trusted companies. Only the ones that have "unfortunate breakdowns" as they call them. They take absolutely no responsibility as they are most likely in on the scam. Can't wait until a class action suit is brought against them. Corrupt company.

I’ve been travelling solo for 4 months and always use bookaway. It’s the easiest and most reliable way to book my transport while travelling and takes away any stress I have travelling alone. On one of my trips I accidentally entered the wrong destination and the team at bookaway helped me resolve the issue and changed my bus for me. There was also an instance in Laos where sadly my ticket wasn’t accepted by the bus company even though I had paid online, and had to buy a new ticket directly through the bus company but bookaway refunded me and apologised for the inconvenience. I highly recommend using the company. Reliable and simple to use. Also a big help paying online so I don’t have to worry about having enough cash. They also show you where you get picked up from and dropped off in your next destination so I can plan ahead which is important for me so I’m not stranded.

I'm satisfied and I recommend Bookaway

Bookaway might be the worst customer service I ever dealt with. Paid $40 usd for a bus from Valentiane to Hanoi. The shuttle bus forgot to pick me up so I missed the bus and had to wait 24 hours. On the actual "sleeper" bus there were no beds, not even Seats. We had to sleep on the cold floor for the whole 30 hour trip! I contacted Bookaway and they said they reached out to the 3rd party but never heard back. Horrible customer service and a horrific company. Please learn from my experience and do not use!

I never got picked up at my pick-up location although I arrived 2 hours!! before departure time. When I called them, they told me they already sent a private taxi to my pick-up point ($30). They assured me I would get a refund of that. Did I?? No. They ignored my e-mails. Worst company. Will never ever use it again. There are way better companies out there. Try to book at a local tour office. They are cheaper and more helpful

We would recommend the service of bookaway.com. We needed to change our pick up date. Contacting the costumer service was no problem and they changed it directly.

Excellent service with a Private van from El Nido to Ulugang Bay ; the driver was smooth, the van confortable and the stop in Roxas welcome and clean. Also We booked à tour B at El Nido with excellent service and outstanding spots to take pictures, s'aime and snorkel.
