“Wish if I could give 0 stars. Booked flight for my husband from Perth to India with a layover in kuala lumpur. These scum bags didn't mention that he needed on arrival visa for changing the connecting flight. He got refused by immigration to catch his 2nd leg of flight. Sitting at the airport wasted his half way tickets. Had to wait that night as there were no flights left with air asia. Had to book other flights from kuala lumpur to kolkata and then kolkata to delhi and then booked a train for his final destination. Wasted $2000 and whole 2 days to reach at home. PLEASE DON'T BOOK WITH THESE BLOODY THEIVES. THEY DONT HELP YOU AT ALL. UPON CALLING THE IDIOT LADY OVER THE PHONE ASKED MY HUSBAND TO CONTACT LOCAL EMBASSY IN MALAYSIA MEANWHILE HIS NEXT CONNECTION MISSED OUT.”

“I wish there was an option for zero stars because that's what I would give them. My international flight to the Lima airport was delayed from another airlines and Kiwi DID NOT understand or consider the circumstances that an aircraft caught on fire Nov 19 restricting my flight to the Lima airport,which rendered my Nov 20 flight to be insufficient. They did not work with me at all and did not display and empathy or consider an exception. They are the worst ever and should be shut down”

“If I could give a negative, I would. We missed a connection and I had to rebook after I paid this joke of a company. Then, after our trip on the way back, the airline did not find our other booking and I had to rebook out of pocket again to get home. They put us on hold several different times for hours and never resolved. I have been fighting the credit card company for reimbursement!! NEVER use this scam service!!!!!!!!!!”

“Avoid them at any cost. I got stuck in another county and lost my job and my apartment and everything. Almost got banned to enter county again due visa is out of date and a lot problem and Costs to pay and they will not help you rebook in time to have to do it all even if you have all guarantees and their policy is to find new nothing they will find ways to put blame on you or others, all their fault. They could be put in jail all Of them. Cause I chatted with 100 of them supporters they change people all time and no one stays with you all the way. No numbers to call and they think they can call you when you in another country with no number, no email contacts no number and no no no risky as hell. They did not inform when changes of flights or time and you will miss it and all of your connections flights too. And refund time is 1 year if not more. And other refunds was not even given due they do everything to put blame on you if you don’t do right and they know the laws/rules way better than you cause scammers and will do all in their power to not give you compromises nor refund. They are a very high risky and very bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad. Avoid at any cost. I’m stupid to give them chanses, now I lost 3.000 euro on just nothing. Tickets normally are the most expensive there too , there’s a cheaper ones a-lot of them other apps/pages. 3 Rd chanse and lost my life cause them, I explained my situations and they give no compromise for my lost of ticket and life lost costs of everything I had. I Russian roulette would give you less risky than this. A gambler have bigger safety to win than you to make safe travel.”

“Cannot get reach to support at all!! When they made money of you regardless your travel was cancelled / postponed etc, you'll never get your money back! Pure scam model! Waiting for a refund for 4 months already no way to get reach to someone for clarification at all (242 058 949 - booking, just in case someone from the company cares at least a bit about their reputation).”

“KIWI.com USERS BUYER BEWARE! I learned the hard way after losing the cost of my ticket when I had a thoroughly documented medical emergency of a heart attack while in the airport, resulting in me having to go to the emergency room instead of making my flight. Even though the airline had agreed to reimburse me for my flight KiWI.com refused to process my reimbursement. Please note the THREE REASONS you should never buy your ticket using KIWI.com as an intermediary. #1). Once you purchase a ticket on KIWI.com, you are essentially forfeiting your right to deal directly with the airline you are flying to handle any legitimate dispute you might have (i.e., medical emergencies, refunds, lost luggage, etc.). All disputes, refunds, or reimbursements can only be handled through KIWI.com and its incredibly narrow definition of what constitutes an emergency. #2). According to KIWI’s customer service agent, they do not follow international regulations (i.e., lost delayed luggage or medical emergencies) for legitimate emergency-related disputes. #3). Also, according to this same agent, KIWI has no real customer service support to communicate with should something go very wrong. And let's face it, more goes wrong these days than right, with air travel! They don’t even have an address to submit demand letters regulated by US law. The best you’ll receive in terms of support is a pseudo-robo customer service “person” claiming to be the final arbiter of any dispute. SO, IF YOU USE KIWI AND HAVE ANY SORT OF TRAVEL EMERGENCY THAT ENTITLES YOU TO REIMBURSEMENT BY THE AIRLINE ITSELF, BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT YOUR TICKET ON KIWI.COM, YOU ARE COMPLETELY SCREWED!”

“Awful customer experience. No communication whatsoever. It has taken almost 13 months for my refund to come back to me. The amount I've been offered is a third of what I paid for the flights in the first place. I only cancelled my flights because there was a change of dates which meant I couldn't go. The other options were to pay significantly more and have a layover for several hours. Don't bother using them, always just book direct. Worst customer experience I have e ever had”

“Kiwi sold me a ticket from Mexico City to Orlando with a layover in Cacun that was so short it was essentially impossible for me to arrive to my next flight!! After talking with customer service they blamed me for poor "time management" even though it is clear there is no way on earth I could have made it to my flight on time. If you are buying a ticket with 2 different airlines that is international know that you need at least 2 hours of layover because check-in closes 1 hour prior to departure.”

“They are such a terrible company. I've been working for 9 months to get my refund. They only have "chat" customer service. They are just scamming robots. Never book with them.”

“No human to reach for help. at best, you get a chat with an AI, or just send a message, and hope for a reply. For a refund, you get credit on their weibsite, so you'll HAVE TO use this horrible service again, or you get a refund back to your card/account 3 months later.... that's THREE MONTHS LATER. They're REALLY GOOD at taking your money, but after that, they don't exist for help.”

“I booked two tickets and paid £1706GB from kiwi.com.when arrived at the airport they checked and informed us Kiwi provided a fake reservation number. Tickets were not showing in the system. We stayed there for almost 6 hours and Kiwi.com didn't do anything. I have had very bad experiences with kiwi.com”

“I paid for a booking. They then sent me a message saying one of my flights legs had been canceled. They said I had to cancel my whole trip because of this. When I went directly to the airline the flight was available. Kiwi said cancel the whole lot, wait 3 months for a refund and they didn't know how much I would be refunded. You can't talk to anyone by phone or chat. THIS IS A SCAM COMPANY. DO NOT USE THEM.”

“Kiwi.com is the worst and caused us to lose $10,000 on our trip to Bali! They completely screwed us over on our flights from the US to Bali, Indonesia this summer and it was so bad that the airline wouldn't even let us on our flight- stating that no one should have ever sold us these tickets because they were unusable due to visa situations quickly changing on a certain leg of our flight. Kiwi had never contacted us prior to our trip about the changing visa situation- so we had absolutely no idea we needed this extra visa. So there we are stuck at the gate 3 hours before our flight, with Qatar airlines calling Kiwi.com and talking to them (ended up at the check-in counter for 1.5 hours with no one from Kiwi offering to help us out or re-route the flight). The gate agent told us were were completely out of luck and that kiwi should have never sold us these tickets. We ended up having to pay an extra $7k for 2 one-way tickets for Bali on another airline that left the next day and we also missed an entire day of our trip. After the trip, we had Amex dispute the charge with Kiwi.com and Kiwi denied their wrong doing of selling us a completely unusable tickets- costing us an extra $3k in refunds Kiwi would not give us for the bad airline tickets. I will never book with them again. STAY AWAY. Afterwards, I googled it to see if this same experience had happened to other people- AND IT HAD! What a dishonorable company!”

“Wish there was a way to post negative stars myself! My son booked his first trip through the airport which directed him to the kiwi website they advertised $278 for the flight forward three hours and they say they need another $213 to complete his processing because the carrier upped the price. Turns out Manchester airport had no idea that kiwi was even attached to them. It should have redirected us directly to the airline. there was never an up-in-price and American Airlines had the price cheaper for the flight. Now we are in the struggle to get over $300 back from them can’t get through to their customer service for over 24 hours. We have gotten the same message when calling they’re too busy to talk to us, and then you get disconnected”
