“The worst. Useless and rude.”

“NEVER EVER use kiwi.com! They are completely useless in case of flight schedule disturbances. You will end up paying new flights by yourself. We booked Malaga Helsinki fights with layover in Stockholm. Due to flight delay we were forced to reebook the second leg. However, kiwi.com customer agent wrongly cancelled the first leg of the flight (to provide credits to purchase the second leg). They did not cancel the original second leg flight as was agreed. We were two person travelling and at the time of boarding only one of us was able to get on board and other was denied boarding because the first leg had been cancelled by Kiwi.com and I instead had two flights from Arlanda to Helsinki. Kiwi.com did NOTHING to help to solve this situation and I had to pay for the new flight my self at the airport to take later flight. Unbelievable! And they deny any cost compensation. STAY AWAY!!”

“This is the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. They advertise flights as available, but when you try to pay, they suddenly claim the flight is no longer available and push you to pay extra instead. Do not book with this company. Their customer service is a joke—completely unprofessional and incapable of resolving issues.”

“Robotic, inhuman service with absolutely zero communication or commitment to resolving issues productively. Their search engine erroneously yielded a result which was departing at 1 am on the next day instead of the date specified in the search. Support blamed this on some contrived use of UTC time when absolutely ZERO flight tickets are sold on the basis of UTC time. They claimed that no changes could be made due to the fare type, and to request a refund. So I did so. A refund was not possible, yet they straight up cancelled the flight without an ounce of communication to see if I wanted to keep it. Probably ok if you take extreme and meticulous care to check all the fine print. Do NOT trust their systems to get things right. Better to avoid this company at all costs if you have an ounce of self respect and desire for customer satisfaction.”

“We have only used kiwi once and will never use them again. My wife and infant daughter booked a flight on kiwi over a month in advance. When we got to the airport, we were informed that my infant did not have a ticket (despite both tickets being purchased and invoiced by kiwi). When we called kiwi to try to resolve this issue last second, they first tried to blame this on us by suggesting that we should have looked at our tickets (they did not send us tickets) and that we should have taken better care when booking them (we booked them correctly, as is evident in the invoice). They said they could resolve the issue in the next 40 minutes, to which I responded that the gate will be locked in less than 40 minutes. The person then rudely hung up the phone on me When we got home, I called them again to deal with the issue. They blamed WestJet for the error. I called WestJet who confirmed that the error was on Kiwi's end. I called Kiwi again and the person said that she'll send a ticket to a different department to investigate and we would hear back in the next few hours. I called them again in a few hours and they said they needed more time. I called again the next morning and again, they needed more time. They told me that I should call in a few hours. I called in a few hours and spoke to an agent (who I believe was genuinely trying to be helpful within the confounds of this awful company). At this point, I have spend many hours on the phone trying to resolve a problem they created. This agent took her time to look at the issue and assisted me in booking another flight for my wife and child. Unfortunately, all the flights that she had suggested had long overnight layovers which would be A) significantly worse than what we had paid for, B) completely unfeasible for travel with a 9 month old baby. I took it upon myself to check their website for better flights and had found one. She assisted me in booking this flight. At this point, I had thanked her for help but was asking if there was anything that could be done to rectify this massive inconvenience. She was sympathetic but had to ask her team. After speaking with her team, she told us that the compensation for their errors was booking the ticket of our choice. Obviously, the ticket of our choice was the flight we had missed due to their mistakes, not the one we had to settle for because they failed to provide the service for which we had paid. Overall an awful experience. Very unreliable company with many (but not all) of their employees being rude and unhelpful.”

“This has been my worst experience yet with third-party websites. Kiwi is the absolute worst, with terrible customer service and policies! I can't believe they're still allowed to operate. I booked an international flights through them and I was charged for extra leg room seat by accident. Once I receive the invoice and email confirmation, I noticed that I was charged that fee by accident. I called them immediately to correct that but they were very rude on the phone and kept saying that we cannot change that and kept hanging up on me! They never even did that service on the airline website so they just charged me money for a service I did not choose and they never provided the service, because when I tried to manage my flight on the airline app, the seat was never chosen and they never chose extra leg room seat for me! They are the worst in the industry; don't ever use them and they should not let them operate in the US anymore.”

“Early morning on December 23rd I received a notification from Kiwi that two flights that I had booked with them had been cancelled. I immediately went to their app and then there website which confirmed this without explanation . To salvage my trip I immediately booked comparable flights directly with the airline. Then I began a long drawn out communication with Kiwi expecting an immediate and full refund. Instead of accomadating they insisted that I provide screen shots from their app showing the cancelation and proof that I already purchased new tickets. Thus began a fruitless ,time consuming and aggravating 7 days of useless back and forth chat. To figure out what went wrong I looked in my spam folder and found 2 emails from Kiwi stating that I was being refunded for my purchase of seating not the flights themselves. After one week Kiwi responded that they were not responsible and would not refund my tickets. To wrap things up using Kiwi might be alright for finding cheap flights, but expecting prompt ,reliable and communicative help if something goes wrong while traveling would not be worth using this companies services. .”

“I had a nightmare experience with Kiwi.com regarding baggage. On December 16th, I tried to add a 20kg bag. Their customer service explicitly told me it was too late to process, confirmed I would NOT be charged, and instructed me to buy the bags directly from the airline (Wizz Air). I followed their advice and paid £170 to Wizz Air immediately. Then, on December 18th (the day of my flight), Kiwi.com ignored their own advice, "processed" the bag anyway, and charged my account without permission. I have written proof from their own agents saying I wouldn't be charged, yet they are now refusing to refund me. They even had the audacity to suggest I shouldn't complain or I might lose my bags for the return flight. This is not just bad service; it is professional negligence and unauthorized billing. Save yourself the money and stress—book directly with the airline.”

“There is a customer phone number, but it is automated, and you are given only two options. If you have a question or concern, you will not be able to speak with a customer service representative.”

“Do not use this website's services, don't repeat my mistake... Dou to family reasons, I had to cancel my flight to Prague. The problem was resolved quickly. Next day I called kiwi.com to cancel my cancellation. But they told me it was to late. But I knew that wasn't true. As a result, I lost my tickets and received no refund for them. I definitely don't recommend it!”

“KIWI.COM LYING ABOUT THEIR DISRUPTION PROTECTION! DO NOT USE THEM! AVOID KIWI.COM! THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL! THEY ARE LYERS! I booked trip with them with 3 connection flights, using different airlines and counting on Kiwi.com disruption protection. Turned out kiwi.com just LYIERS! When Air arabica refused to let me on my connection flight, in UAE, for really strange reason, I contacted Kiwi.com's customer service to use disruption protection asking to get refund/or find alternative flights according to their terms. I was missing 2 connection flight after that. I WAS TOLD IT IS MY PROBLEM AND I CAN FIND NEW WAY TO GO "IN MY OWN DISCRETION". Not only they did NOT help me with new arrangements as they supposed to, they also give bad advice to ask airlines for refund directly within 10 month which RUIN MY CHANSES TO GET REFUNDS FROM AIRLINS - that needed to be done withing 24 hours! Everything documented, evidence saved. Extra expenses I acquired because of that is much higher then entire original trip. AVOID KIWI.COM! THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL! THEY ARE LYERS!”

“Reisen var dårlig planlagt og i praksis umulig å gjennomføre. Vi var booket med Norse Atlantic fra Bangkok til Oslo. Flyet fra Manila landet kl. 14:20. Norse tilbyr kun mobil innsjekk 4–2 timer før avreise, noe som åpenbart ikke er mulig mens man er i luften. Ved ankomst Bangkok måtte vi gjennom immigrasjon og fylle ut e-visum for å komme til Norse-skranken og hente boarding pass. Dette tok for lang tid. Da vi kom frem til skranken, var innsjekk stengt. Vi fikk kontakt med gaten per telefon, men fikk beskjed om at uten boarding pass får man ikke adgang til internasjonalt område og dermed ikke til gaten. Det betyr at det aldri fantes en reell mulighet til å rekke dette flyet – til tross for gyldig billett og korrekt gateinformasjon. Henvendelse til Kiwi resulterte kun i beskjed om at de ikke dekker forsinkelser. Ingen reell hjelp eller oppfølging. Oppsummert: dårlig planlagt reise, mangelfull kundeservice og fravær av ansvar. Vi kommer ikke til å bruke dem igjen.”

“Fraud system. Their system does not have proper validations, They booked separate tickets. In Duabi, they simply denied the transit visa as these tickets are not connected. International self transfer with Immigration, Re-check in bags takes longer time and their system proposed 3Hour layover time.”
