“Some Major Changes Happened But It's Not Our Fault The Bad Airlines Did It. Just like that $4500 went to the drain hard earned money. Karma will get back to you soon....”

“I made a booking from London to Sharm El Sheikh for my wife and I plus our 2 children. When I tried to check in on line I found that our youngest child has been booked as an infant and not a 2 year old child. I eventually managed to find a UK telephone line for Kiwi and proceeded to call, but found I was put through to a foreign call centre which had agents who were scripted and were not able to understand or help with my issue. After more than 8 calls to the call centre I was advised to wait whilst they investigated the matter. They returned to me by calling me at 06:55am, which I don't think is even legal and they proceeded to lie to me by telling me the airline had promised to resolve the issue at check in. I called the airline who dismissed this as a lie and said that if I turn up at the gate with a 2 year old child, without their own seat, they will be turned away. I have now found that the booking centre agent input the wrong date of birth for my son and I have made Kiwi aware of this, but no apology or promise to fix it. Again they have asked me to wait whilst their team investigates it. We fly in 5 days and at this stage I dont know what more I can do to resolve it other than paying for my sols flights again on each leg of the journey.”

“I booked Sri Lankan airlines on 19th September via using the Kiwi.com online platform. It was very clear that the direct flight from Dubai to Colombo, the flight is on 20th September with flying duration 4hrs and 25minutes. I went to the check in counter at the airport and the booking was not found in their system. Thereafter, they found that the Kiwi.com has scheduled a round trip ticket which was not disclose at the time of online booking. The Sri Lankan airlines Manager told not to trust Kiwi.com and my booking was the 5th complain in the month of September. He told that the ticket is a fake booking and they cannot take responsibility at all. I tried to contact using the Kiwi contract number in Dubai but not responded and using the online support but Kiwi.com network was not connected. Thereafter, I reserved a fly Dubai flight without any problem. I contacted Kiwi.com support team asking refund but did not agree at all and my money steal by Kiwi.com without looking at my trouble and their incorrect ticket. The refund is not received until today and the company like smuggling from the people. DO NOT TRUST Kiwi.com and don't book using the third party sites like this.Kiwi.com is completely cheating the people showing fake offers on the website. They don't care about the people after paid and no help at all.”

“Most bogus, crooked, and conning travel website I ever had to experience. SCAM 1: While booking, they let you believe you are 100% covered by their "Guarantee" - nothing can ever happen, we got you covered, no problem ever, BUT you are never covered! :-) . SCAM 2: A while after booking confirmation is done and settled (beware of SCAM 3: they never issue Booking Confirmations from the airlines, but only their own), they tell you "Some Major Changes Happened But It's Not Our Fault The Bad Airlines Did It".: They present some many hours delayed (in my case 17hr) flight connections, and you lose even a connecting flight ("Sorry But Not Our Fault") - It's so bad that you actually can not travel as initially booked. SCAM 4 is offered: Option 1: "Hey, We Found Beautiful New Routes and Flights for You, of Course Guaranteed no Problems this Time, for ADDITIONAL Cost of Only the Same Money That You Paid Initially. Please Pay Here SMILE". Option 2: "Get 1/5th of Your Initial Payment Back To Redeem In The Next Booking With Us - No Real Money Refund Of Course". Option 3: "Get a Refund from The Carriers With Our Quick Expedite Service Help for Only 20 EUR But That May Take 60 days And Maybe You Do Not Get The Refund At All" . Option 3: Try To Get A Refund From The Bad Carriers Within 90 Days, But Hey: You Might NEVER See Any Money of It At All, And Maybe The Carriers Carry Charges for That Refund, So Better Do Not Do That Option". You get the picture of how shameless, crookedly and deceitful KIWI.com operates? They purposely temper your booking (because nothing is confirmed yet with the airlines) and try to coax you to buy new offers from them, or at least keep your initial payment without giving any service back. I lost about 300 Euros to Kiwi.com. But I know of many many many others who fell for these KIWI crooks and bandits and lost thousands of Euros or Dollars.”

“How is this business still operating? I work for an airline. Kiwi customer came to drop off bag for his flight, except he had no confirmed booking! We called Kiwi on his behalf. Spent off and on 7 hours with Kiwi rep! We were told his ticket was never issued “due to a technical issue” and to be patient as they were “working on it” The kicker is that they took the customer’s $1300 for the booking! Absolutely horrid company. Passenger ended up having to buy whole new expensive ticket on our airline!”

“the worst travel agency you can imagine. booked a return flight to Kutaisi at a time convenient to me and my partner, they sent me an email changing my return alone to leave 10 hours earlier with no offer of alternative as per their policies, called to ask to change to another flight and pay the difference, denied me any rights, and stated, Go to your lawyer, live with it, that's it!!!!!”

“STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY... I booked a flight with them and 18 hours later i wanted to add some checked luggage and they said it wasn't possible to add checked luggage to my flights as there wasn't a big enough layover in between. The two airlines involved had no issues with it, i had called them before talking to Kiwi. When looking back at the website i found the option to add checked luggage to the flights before paying (yes i missed it and i admitted this to Kiwi.com) They still said it wasnt possible to do this when their website was offering it. When called out on this they told me that i had booked a saver fare and if i had paid more for the flights they could have modified the flights. Absolute shower of s***..... Stay clear, go to booking.com instead no issues with them.”

“I took a trip to Morocco, very cheap Iwas so delighted. Impossible to check online cause the flight company does not work with Kiwi.com. Arriving at the airport, I was to pay all the fares, three flights, three fares... double the price of my ticket. Such a disgrace, will never book with them anymore...”

“I have never experienced such disorganised service in my life. Check in system did not communicate with airline: resulting in us paying an extra £55 per person to check in. Return flights cancelled for no reason. Customer service is probably stretched and no one seems to care. People do your research. Pay a little extra and buy DIRECT! This was an awful experience and will ruin your holidays. I hardly ever complain, but the level of unprofessional Ian is beyond imaginations. AVOID”

“Most disappointing with Kiwi.com. Would never use it again Very unorganized company. Booked a flight trough Kiwi.com only to find out I’ve couldn’t online check in because of a technical fault. Had to pay an extra fee of €55 for desk check in. Apparently not the only one with the same problem, so I’ve been told when I was paying my desk check in fee. Highly disappointing. Would never ever use them again.”

“My girlfriend booked a trip as a surprise - with my credit card - on Kiwi.com. Unfortunately, she booked non-refundable tickets - without my knowledge. Anyway, my relative had a near-fatal accident right before the trip and was in ICU for a week. I'm the only caretaker she has. The Kiwi rep (Shakira Saier) initially agreed to issue a full refund but didn't. Then the company reneged. So, no integrity, no decency. no accountability. After the behavior of Kiwi.com reps - I'll never book anything with them again - and I love NZ.”

“Never book through this company, always book directly with the airline, if you book with Kiwi I guarantee you gonna lose your flight in between connections and get stuck in a country you don't know, and will end up having to spend 4 times more to book hotels and buy another flights. 100% it's gonna happen, trust me. It happened with me and with other people I met in the airport. I wish I had looked at the low reviews before I booked my flight. It ended up costing me 2k compared to the $500 that was the price of the flights. What a joke.”

“I had a flight from Cairo to London with a layover in Marseille. I had the Kiwi layover Gaurantee, the departure flight got delayed 1.5 hours and when I called a few days later to get my money back, the call centre employee was very rude and barely knew anything about the flight claiming the delay was less than 55 minutes even though I recorded down the initial departure (5.35) and the delayed departure (7). Because of this everyone missed their connecting flight. When I called, I was faced with many excuses from “I should’ve called when I was at the airport in Egypt” even though I had not way to contact as I didn’t have a British number. To “the policy has changed”. I recommend this company to no one as they are scammers and they are money cows. The call support assistance “ASHISH” seemed like he didn’t know a single thing about the company and was just wasting time. He said that at first I was already late then he said the guarantee doesn’t cover it then said the manager said there is no possibility as air Arabia is the airline. This company is the worst and this is the second time I go with this booking website and faced issues. No one should book with them as they won’t give your money back over the slightest chance”

“They show one price, and before checkout they increase it. I definitely don't recommend Kiwi.com to anyone.”
