“I purchased my tickets flight with this company, which offered connections and protection in case I missed them due to the time between flights. I missed my flight on July 29, 2025, because the connection time was insufficient. I contacted the company that day, but they never responded. I suffered financial losses and missed work commitments due to this company's incompetence. Avoid them.”

“NO. NO. NO. Avoid it. I submitted a timely refund request to Kiwi.com. But Kiwi.com failed to transmit it to Vietravel Airlines. Consequently, the airline has been rejecting my claim on the grounds that they had received no request from Kiwi.com. They have been completely ignoring my clear 8th request, "Send me the documentation that proves Kiwi.com successfully transmitted my refund request to the airlines." and sending only meaningless, copy-pasted replies.”

“I lost my connection flights due to a delayed flight. Their customer service reply came hours after I reported the issue. Their representative asked me to get on the flight and contact their 24/7 service. I found myself at 2AM in a foreign airport with no flight and no assistance from their side and finally bought another tticket. Of course the denied me of any refund even though I paid for full insurance.”

“Do not risk getting a very bad travel experience, with additional costs and being left stranded at airports! Hard to get in contact with. Slow with providing accurate flight details. Flight booking errors. Baggage requirement errors. When a complaint is lodged, you are asked for more and more proof, and even with more than ample proof, they decline responsibility.”

“At the time of booking, baggage was selected and presented as checked-in luggage (for the aircraft hold). However, in reality, it turned out to be cabin baggage, not hold baggage. As a result, I was forced to pay a high additional fee at the airport for proper checked baggage, on top of the payment I had already made to Kiwi for baggage that I was ultimately unable to use. This feels like a deceptive practice—misleading customers through confusing or unclear terminology in order to charge more. I will never book through Kiwi again, and I strongly advise others not to use Kiwi either, as the system misleads customers and causes unnecessary financial loss.”

“I have evidence concerning Kiwi.com's ongoing deceptive and unfair business practices. Documented complaints about this issue have persisted for a period of no less than eight years. It appears that the company has intentionally omitted the "middle" name field from its booking process to compel consumers to incur unnecessary service fees. This practice appears designed to generate financial gain by exploiting a foreseeable omission, constituting a deceptive trade practice. I have the following photos, chats, email: A photograph showing the absence of the "middle" name field on the booking interface A chat documenting the €139.95 fee charged to me, the consumer, in contrast to the airline’s actual cost of $20. Based on these figures, the company appears to profit by more than €120 per transaction under this scheme.”

“I will never use Kiwi.com again. My booking was stuck in “processing” for hours, even though the website promised fast confirmation. I had hotels to arrange and needed clarity, but instead I was left in limbo with no confirmed itinerary. Customer support was appalling: I was bounced between multiple agents who repeated the same scripted responses without ever addressing my actual questions. I repeatedly asked to raise a complaint — no one acknowledged it until much later, and even then I was told to “go find the steps myself” on their website. One agent even dismissed my frustration by saying, “We never force anyone to book on our website. You chose to use our service of your own free will.” — completely unprofessional. To make things worse, the chat contradicted itself: I was told one flight was confirmed, yet my booking still showed as “processing.” No straight answers, no ownership, and no accountability. In the end, Kiwi delayed my trip, wasted my time, and made a simple flight booking incredibly stressful. Booking directly with the airline would have taken seconds. Instead, I was trapped in Kiwi’s broken system and stonewalled by unhelpful agents. Avoid Kiwi.com at all costs. Their so-called “service” is slow, confusing, and dismissive.”

“We cancelled a flight a month before it departed. We asked for the refund of airport taxes which we are entitled to. More than a month and a half later we are still waiting. The inoperance of kiwi is blatant. Second time this happens, not buying again here.”

“I booked jet2 tickets via kiwi. I tried to access and check in via jet2 as instructed, but they have to approve access of booking to my email manually. I have now been waiting for 10 minutes in the support line with no response. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT'S THE BENEFIT IN USING KIWI? JOKE!!”

“My experience with Kiwi.com – proceed with caution Everything seems fine with Kiwi.com — as long as your trip goes as planned. The real issues begin when your flight is changed or canceled by the airline. At that point, getting clear and accurate information from Kiwi.com becomes extremely difficult. You’re left in the dark about your options, and worse, you risk receiving NO REFUND AT ALL. If you choose any of the alternative flights offered by Kiwi.com, you’ll be charged as if it’s a brand-new booking, without ANY REFUND for your original, canceled flight. This crucial detail isn't communicated upfront. I only found out after a long, confusing exchange with customer support, followed by a vague chatbot message. They also tell you to request a refund directly from the airline, but in most cases, that’s not possible because you’re not the actual owner of the booking—the airline redirects you back to Kiwi.com. Bottom line: It’s safer to avoid booking through Kiwi.com. While you might find cheap flights, it’s far better to book directly through the airline. If you do decide to use Kiwi.com, be extremely cautious—especially if your travel plans change. Watch out for additional charges and unclear policies.”

“Basically a scam. Tiny sign that says you can’t take hand luggage. We booked a flight coming back 8 days later across Europe. No hand luggage needs to be in letters. Requested a refund and was offered 92 € of 500 € booking.”

“I cancelled the ticket containing 2 flights in less than 12 hours of purchase hoping I could get something back. I waited for a response which came after the flight took place with a negative response blaming the airlines. I'm sorry I didn't read the comments about them and didn't contact the airlines directly because I had a better chance of getting something back.I later bought the ticket again with a new date and even though they appeared to me as a first option, being cheaper with them, I avoided them and that's what I will do from now on.”

“The worst booking company, they mentioned they will contact the airline to refund my ticket, then they mentioned the airline "Turkish Airline" refunsed the refund, I contacted Turkish airlines and they sent me official email that they didn;t refuse the refund, and they processes the refund, but then Kiwi.com used another execuses as other way to lie as usual, and they said my ticket non-refundable, so first they cheated then when I shared Turkish airlines confirmation about refund they found another way as fraudelent”

“Kiwi.com is a rip off. They always show up with the cheapest fares in a search, but it’s totally misleading. Important things like baggage aren’t included or even made clear, and by the time you add what you actually need, you end up paying way more than the price you first saw. It’s a bait-and-switch. You’re better off booking direct with the airline — at least you know what you’re paying for.”

“Vor einigen Monaten habe ich Flüge für mehrere Personen auf Kiwi gebucht, da mir die Seite bei Google Flights vorgeschlagen wurde. Nach bereits wenigen Tagen wurde ein Teil der Reise grundlos storniert und Kiwi hat mir zugesichert, dass ich mein Geld zurück bekommen… Jetzt, einige Monate und ungefähr 15 Telefonate später, wurden ca. 900€ von 1450€ zurückerstattet. In den Anrufen wurde mir immer nur gesagt, dass ich noch weiter abwarten soll und das restliche Geld noch erstattet wird. Seit ca. 3 Monaten hat sich allerdings, trotz etlicher Anrufe, nichts mehr getan. GANZ KLARE WARNUNG: Trotz der Empfehlung von KIWI auf Google Flights rate ich dringend davon ab, hier eine Reise zu buchen!!! Die positiven Bewertungen kann ich mir nicht erklären. Das Unternehmen handelt eindeutig betrügerisch und der Telefonservice ist absolut inkompetent! Die Rückerstattung ist extrem undurchsichtig und überhaupt nicht nachvollziehbar! AUF KEINEN FALL ÜBER KIWI BUCHEN!!!”

“Booked itinerary and was quickly informed that one leg was canceled. I requested a refund and they partially refunded and kept $900. I looked up the canceled flight and I see that isn't canceled at all. This is theft. They have stolen $900 of my money. Please avoid”
