“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.”

“A bad company that doesn't take responsibility for its customers, I lost 1000 dollars, because of a small mistake I made on the website, and they don't want to help and provide service! Take money they are great like everyone else! There is no response, no service, and no empathy. Beware of them!!!”

“They are scammers that changed my return departure date. I phoned Kiwi.com immediately for help to rectify their mistake , they said "we can't help" and you lied about no flights being available on my return date 21/8 there were heaps of flights. You said you couldn't change the dates, another lie. I contacted 11 airlines they all said "it would be no problem to rectify their mistake". The airlines did say" l can only do it through the booking agent though " I gave kiwi.com 5 weeks notice to change the date back to what l requested. 6/8 to the 21/8, kiwi.com had changed the dates to 6/8 to the 9/8 they refused to help in any way. You owe me $1561.82. I ended up flying out on the 10/8 return 24/8. I am now having trouble with paypal to believe me. I thought Kiwi.com was our friendly neighbours "New Zealand" No its a Czech company.”

“This company is shady, do not trust them!! I bought the tickets 5 months before my flight. They've change dates of my flight, then 2 days later emailed me again saying that everything is ok and nothing has changed. 2 weeks before my flight I've checked that everything is ok and it turned out that my flight has been cancelled. When I've contacted them they said they are still waiting to get the money from the airline to refund me however that's a lie. I've called airlines directly and I've been told that they have sent money back to them 2 months ago!!! So that was a lie, so they just kept it for 2 months. Surprisingly they refunded me that same day i've contacted them but this time they've kept 200 $ for them selfs and told me that's all the've received from the airline company. That is another lie - airline stated that they always refund 100% of the tickets and that is their refund policy. The dates in the email are not correct, they lie and don't take responsibility for anything.”

“CHEATERS I booked a connected flight on june 2023. 1 day after my booking kiwi sent a mail regarding the flight has been cancelled, and that I have to pay extra money to book a new ticket. they blammed the airline company and promised me they will reimburse the highest amount for the ticket. Actual ticket cost me 5600 TL, new flight cost me 8800TL total flight cancellation with istanbul-izmir is around 16.000TL. The only reimburse they gave me is 898TL! THEY ARE BEYOND OF CHEATERS. THE MOST WORST COMPANY I HAVE SEEN, NEVER EVER I WILL BOOK WİTH KIWI AGAIN, JAVİD THERE SUPERVISOR CALLED ME AND SAID HE WOULD NOT HELP AND THAT I CAN DO WHATEVER I WISH SUCH AS REVIEWS OR LEGAL ACTION. HOW RUDE, WHAT A LAME COMPANY THIS IS. NEVER EVER BOOK WITH KIWI!!”

“I wish I can rate them zero. Zero help from customer service. They booked two separate flights when I tried to fly from NY to Vilnus, So I had to get out of terminal, pick up my bags and check them back in, of course I end up paying twice for extra bags. When I asked customer service two weeks prior that flight about this issue, they told me they cant do anything, this is the way they book their flights. Even after explaining that this is not normal and I will be paying for the bags twice, they offered me to but bags from kiwi for 400$ per bag, They are out of their minds there, bag cost more then an airplane tickets. Bunch of crooks, do your business elsewhere. There is a reason they sell cheaper - they will lie to you and you end up paying more anyway. Use expedia or orbits - at least they will try to work with you or give you options if something goes wrong”

“SCAM COMPANY STOLE £58 from me for showing me a price for a flight that I did not book!! Was told the price would stay the same for 72 hours if I wanted to book it and after 72 hours if I chose not to book then the flight would disappear. I then had some bad news which meant I couldn’t go on this date and called them up only half an hour after getting this price to advise and was told they had taken 10% of the price of the flight (which I hadn’t booked) and wouldn’t return it!!! I have been onto my bank who are raising a dispute and they agree what they have done is illegal, as I didn’t book or buy anything, so how can a fake deposit be taken??? DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE SCAMMERS”

“I picked kiwi because it was cheaper than directly going to the airline and regardless of the reviews I didn't think an issue would happen with me and I was wrong. Unless you buy the "Kiwi Guarantee" you will not be supported. My flight with WizzAir was severely delayed and legally they offer an alternative or refund and this states it in the website. Kiwi maintained that because I don't have the guarantee I will have to pay regardless even though the carrier has offered it for free. I tried to manage this directly with WizzAir, unfortunately Kiwi uses their account to book your ticket so my booking details were under their WizzAir account hence I could not manage it. Forget about Kiwi's customer service, it was back and forth with either people who do not know what to do, or with robots. Finally after stress, I managed to find a number for WizzAir after a lot of digging and they let me book an alternative flight for free despite me booking via a third party. An excellent service from them. You're better off paying more to book directly with the carrier. Stay away.”

“Bad and worst ever selling flights tickets online, avoid it to save your money, if you risk and book with them you may end up spending the triple of a regular ticket, if you don't purchase extras they might cancel your booking and ask you to book again and for extra $$$$”

“The worst travel agency ever. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THEM. They deserve -100 stars for their service. Kiwi steals money from their customers, as well as lying to them. They would cancel your flight on your behalf, and then offer you to book another flight full of charge. Do not spend a single penny to this company. AVOID KIWI IN ANY WAY”

“ITS NOT EVEN WORTH ONE STAR! The WORST travel agency EVER. Please do not book anything with them. It's an absolute SCAM. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE save your time, money and nerves. They lie to their customers, cancel flights on your behalf without your permission, and then refusing to provide you details regarding your flight. After all, the only resolution they find it's finding you alternative flights for additional $1200. They are just making money on you. PLEASE AVOID THIS AGENCY AT ANY COST! Do not let them fool you! Please please please”

“If I could give negative 5 stars, I would. I bought a flight itinerary from Malaga, Spain, to Missoula, Montana, for August 31st. The itinerary involved 4 flights, and the final leg of the journey, from Chicago to Missoula, was cancelled by United Airlines. I was given 2 options from Kiwi.com, either I could use what I already paid as a credit and book a new itinerary where I would have to pay the difference, or I could receive an assisted refund for the $1263.67, I opted for the latter, and after a week and a half I received 180 dollars and was told that this would be all I would be refunded. Not only this, but less than two weeks after purchasing, I was informed that my father died of a heart attack. I relayed this information to Kiwi.com in order to receive a refund due to the death of an immediate family member, but still nothing. There was no reason for doing so either, just the simple "Sorry, it's not our policy to refund these fares". Under no circumstances should you book with Kiwi.com, my father died, and they didnt care. Take this as a warning.”

“Kiwi.com are conmen. They advertised “get 10€ off” the flight price when subscribing to newsletter and then made it impossible to use the discount code they sent. Then they contacted me to say “there is a problem with my provided ID (passport picture, never had a problem with it before) so Ryanair (first leg of my journey) didn’t accept it, which somehow meant Kiwi cannot check me in and I’m likely to have to pay extra 55€ to check in at the airport - obv if they quoted 55€ more I would have not naught these flights! They are nothing but a criminal gang.”
