“Avoid booking via Kiwi - I do not recommend this platform! I booked a flight via Kiwi, paid and got a confirmation. In the middle of the night I was informed by email that due to technical issues the flight couldn't be booked and that I have the option to be refunded via creditcard (chosen payment-method) or with Kiwi-vouchers, however it was not possible to choose the first option in the form shared. When I was informed that I got refunded with Kiwi-vouchers I contacted the Customer-centre and they asked me to proof that it was not possible to choose that option otherwise they couldn't do anything and they apologized for technical issues. It is obvious that I can't proof a technical issue from their side, thus I am stuck with their voucher. In the conversation with the customer-service they aknowledged the "failure/technical issue" from their side, and were sorry for my frustration yet still nothing that could be done.”

“I made a booking with them and when I cancelled they didn't want to give me a refund, when I tried to contact them they didn't take me seriously, it's not reliable and you can look for yourself, I'm not the only one and that's actually a shame.”

“One of our three flights on the way home was changed on 2 days after we booked the trip to a day earlier (which shouldn’t even be possible) but that meant we couldn’t make our long haul connecting flight and threw out the entire journey. Instead of allowing us to change our flights to all link up for free, we were forced to pay $300+ for a flight that didn’t link up and had to subsequently miss the wedding recovery day we had travelled for, lose a nights accommodation of our holiday, as well as pay for Ubers and another nights accommodation in Melbourne - costing us nearly $1,000. When we called we were given no help other than “check the website for options”. On top of that, two of the three flights we had on the way home we weren’t even seated next to each other, and there was only two of us! I will never ever book with Kiwi.com again, and I will be telling everyone I know not to as well.”

“DO NOT BOOK via kiwi.com! - although cheap and easy to use, they will do absolutely nothing for you in the event of flight cancellations. My international flight got cancelled (and thus refunded); however, kiwi.com did nothing for my connecting flight. They provided an option to change the flight; however, it costed $$$, much more than normal prices. I asked for a refund on that flight and kiwi.com did nothing - even after I contacted the flight carrier directly asking for a refund. They insisted they could not do anything (as it was booked via a third party) and that kiwi.com could contact them on my behalf. However, kiwi.com did nothing. Customer service will do anything to prevent a refund. Avoid at all costs.”

“Requested a refund after plans change in date needed to be moved. They told me they were in contact with the airlines. I called the airlines and Kiwi had not been in contact with him whatsoever. I’m currently in the process of disputing it with my credit card. Never book with Kiwi.com. If you find a deal, you want to book on Kiwi just book it with the airlines and it will be cheaper and you won’t have to deal with this scam company.”

“Terrible Experience – Kiwi.com Offered No Real Support During Disrupted Trip This was my first — and definitely last — time booking through Kiwi.com. I purchased flight tickets along with their Disruption Protection, assuming it would offer some peace of mind in case anything went wrong. Unfortunately, when a flight connection was missed, Kiwi.com was nowhere to be found. I was traveling with my 7-year-old child, stranded in an unfamiliar airport, with no assistance from the airline or Kiwi. They claim they provided “alternatives,” but this is simply not true. I received no updates from March 15th–16th, no clear instructions, and no human support. Meanwhile, the last available flight to my destination was selling out quickly — so I had no choice but to book new tickets out of my own pocket. No parent would risk being stranded overnight in a foreign country with a young child and no help in sight. I’ve been passed back and forth between Kiwi and the airline ever since, with both parties blaming “policy” while refusing to take real responsibility. If a ticket is non-refundable, why sell a protection plan that promises help during disruptions? The worst part? The lack of empathy. No real-time support, no crew at the airport to assist, and canned responses that just push you in circles. I trusted this platform, but it failed me completely when it mattered most. If you’re thinking of booking through Kiwi.com — please read the reviews first. I wish I had.”

“Absolutely the worst experience it took me four months to get my refund back”

“Extremely Disappointed with Kiwi.com The customer service is painfully slow. There’s no phone number to call—everything has to go through their app via a ticketing system, which is very frustrating in urgent situations. It took them 8 hours just to offer me an alternative for my outbound flight. Even worse, they wanted to charge $723 to move my flight just 4 days later, even though the total cost of my original ticket was $1300. That’s outrageous. Overall, I do not recommend Kiwi.com. The experience felt like a trap—once they have your money, you're stuck with their slow support and overpriced “solutions.””

“RUN! Horrible app and customer service-would never use again. It’s a purgatory sign in app process that you can never get into. Customer service reading a generic response without addressing the real issue and never getting the problem resolved.”

“Scammers! They took my money for a ticket, but didn’t buy it. I’m waiting for the third day for my ticket number, contacted Turkish airlines and they told me that they even didn’t buy a ticket for me”

“Please do not book through this agency. They are a scam! You will pay for a ticket, but during your trip, you will be surprise that you have no bookings at all. If you request a refund, they will inform you that they are unable to do so and will tell you to contact the airline directly, even you made the bookings with them. They will scam you, so don't book with Kiwi.com”

“Our flight was rescheduled to a time that was extremely inconvenient for us, so we had no choice but to cancel it and book a more suitable flight. The airline generously agreed to provide a full refund, yet Kiwi decided to charge us 30€ per person. To make matters worse, they issued us a useless coupon with ridiculous terms—forcing us to spend 300€ just to use a 30€ discount! And despite the airline's full refund approval, Kiwi refused to return the remaining amount, blatantly keeping money that was rightfully ours. This is unacceptable, and their handling of the situation is nothing short of infuriating! DO NOT USE THIS TRAVEL AGENT!”

“Think twice before buying tickets through this service. They sold me a luggage option, but I still had to pay for the same piece of luggage at two different airports. They refuse to refund my money and falsely claim that their internal investigation shows I added a second piece of luggage at both airports. Be cautious with Kiwi.com and carefully consider whether you want to use their service”

“I have booked a roundtrip flight from Kiwi and here is my terrible experience with them! I was denied from boarding on my first flight, because the airline thought I have an issue with my passport. So I lost that flight and the connecting one as well. when I spoke to them, they said we can't cancel or refund your flights and they asked me to contact the airline themselves. So I had to book another flight to travel. On my way back, the inbounding travel, I had in issue with the online check-in. When I contacted them again, their virtual assistant was useless and repeating the same responses. I called them and they said that they can't do it and I need to do that in the airport which cost me 50 euros. When I contact the airline, the airline mentioned that the booking owner should accept the changes so I can do the check-in. They didn't take the full responsibility for the reservations and I ended up fighting with the airlines to get my issues solved. I am frustrated because of their overall service and I won't recommend them to anyone.”

“What a terrible company to deal with. I booked flights to take me to America for 2 weeks. I didnt realise that the flights didn't include luggage. I contacted KIWI Travel to be told that I cant take any luggage with me and would not help in anyway. They would not provide me with any reference numbers for me to contact the airlines direct to add luggage They told me to cancel my flights with them and rebook at a cost of loosening all my money. It took me days to eventually persuade the different airlines to allow me luggage on my flights.. Kiwi travel were completely unhelpful and point blank refused any help or compassion.. A DISGRACEFUL COMPANY.”

“Beware if you ever want you money back for a cancelled / changed flight. I had to have Aegean authorize all refunds myself and start a legal proceeding against Kiwi to force them to fulfill their legal obligation to return the funds. They returned only 2/3 claiming "fees" that they never invoiced, thus breaking German tax code. Buy directly with airline, even if somewhat more expensive.”
