The company demonstrates a mixed reputation, with customers appreciating the competitive pricing and user-friendly booking process. Many users report successful transactions and commend the quick service and ease of navigation on the website. However, significant concerns arise regarding hidden fees, unexpected price increases, and inadequate customer support, particularly in resolving issues or clarifying policies.

Quick, user friendly and easy to navigate and book online...
I bought round trips to Nicaragua during summer with Gotogate - first of all, the price was WAY more than what it would be if you buy from actual airlines. I had to get it through them since the airlines had no more flights I needed. I did the Covid PCR test, got to the airport hours earlier to not leave anything to chance and the airline did not let me board - THEY SAID GOTOGATE HAD NOT "ACTIVATED" my name on the flight (what that means, months later I do not know). The airline Avianca told me that I should call Gotogate and see what's happening - so I called their customer serice (which is mainly in other countries) and spent HOURS waiting for someone to pick up. By then, I had missed my flight. When they picked up, they had no idea of what was going on and offered no help. Literally none. I have since called at least 20 times, asked for a refund, or even a simple explanation. Every time I called, a different rep would give me a bullish*t reason just to say something because I would not let them off the phone without an answer. They said that it was 1 because I didn't do the PCR Covid test (BUT I DID! I showed them the email confirming and showing how they even confirmed that they had received my results), then they said it was for X reason. I debunked them again. Then Y reason. After a while they admitted to not knowing what happened BUT WOULD NOT REFUND ME. I had to call Chase and request a refund for scam - which Chase understood. I would even personally send proof of all of this for whoever on the internet wants to reach out to me to show you the situation if it means that Gotogate never gets another customer again. I now know other people that had other problems with them since I've been spreading the word about my awful experience. Stay away!
Very simple easy made for a better trip easy fr spontaneous trips
Didn't know about Goto gate but booking are quick and not too complicated.
Booking was easy enough - will update after we see what our check in experience is like.
No Help to get if you want to Rebook your ticket… Worst experience Ever… Look up Gotogate on Scamadviser and you will se what I mean…
Horrible, I had to pay for a check in. Since when doing a check in is not free?
Good. I got exactly what I need. Everything seems quite smooth without wasting time.
Very good thank you for everything, is my first time
Very efficient and precise! This was so easy :). I would use this again
Super easy, great prices and the app is very user friendly
Did not give me the airline confirmation number and made it awful. Feels like a scam
Very pleased, and simple to execute! Overall a very good experience
I went through the process and when I clicked to pay you raised the price.
It is surprisingly considerate. I find it easy and friendly to use.
Workflow is painful to navigate. You need to streamline drastically.
WARNING DO NOT USE BOOKING.COM TO BOOK FLIGHT.
Well I do not take a vacation very often so my wife decided she would like to go to Florida for Christmas this year. I decided to use booking.com to book our flights. I went to their website booked my trip. I figured we would do it up and I would book first class tickets. When I got a conformation email they had changed the flights down to economy seats. I called the number and explained that I had booked first class. The first 3 people I spoke to put me on hold and ended up hanging up on me. I finally got a person who said for me to just cancel the flight and rebook it first class. She then told me she could only cancel the first part of our round trip. The next morning we got news that Kellie's Dad will not be in Florida in December. I called booking.com back they said sorry sir you can not cancel the flight. I said that I was guaranteed if I wanted to cancel I had 24 hours to do so. This is where it gets crazy. When I told her we still had two hours before the 24 hours was up she hung up on me. I called back in each time I told someone I needed to cancel my flights the hung up on us. That happened numerous times with about 20 minute waits each time. This went on for hours and hours. I asked to speak to a manager. They said the manager will get back to me in a few days. I said that would be past the 24 hours. I asked to speak to someone else. That is when I was told that they are not booking.com they are GO TO GATE. I asked to speak to someone from booking.com they said there is no one to speak to. I ASKED FOR THEIR NUMBER. Sorry they do not have one. She said that they GO TO GATE handle all of BOOKING. COMS flights. That was two weeks ago. I got an email today from a manager that said sorry you are past your 24 hour cancellation time.
Please share this post with all of your friends and family……
WARNING DO NOT USE BOOKING.
My advise to anyone booking flights make sure you DO NOT USE booking.com
Reached customer service by phone. Good price and service thank you
Answer: Yes they are scammers operating from unknown destination No phone number and no e-mail correspondence Criminals that stole my $1800 with no apology
Answer: Dont bother mate they have stolen your money like over 2000 other people goto your bank and airline and start to gather evidence.
Answer: Passengers' money is too little, who cares. Even if you were cheated, as an individual passengers, you won't shake the whole tree. They want your money, nothing else, like a pirate or thief.
Answer: They grabbed the credit card from passengers, of course, they will take as much money as possible from your bank account. The break the policy from the US department of transportation, but they don't care, they want your money. The best thing is not to purchase ticket from their website.
