We bought the tickets through Kiwi, day after my kids managed to push the button of cancellation, definitely our fault to leave phone unattended but you how the kids, they everywhere. I called Kiwi right away but of course they couldn't help because system already canceled the tickets and refund us $14. So we all how it's works, they took our money ($2700) and they can resell the ticket again and make double profit. Unbelievable, how they still existing on the market.
I ordered multiple trip flights and they canceled it, stating that it was on the carrier's fault. They said that they will refund me once the carrier will pay them for the canceled flight. It's been more than 9 months since and I didn't get a penny. They "Offered" me a miserable $48 refund for a $1,100 payment. I have tried to contact them hundreds of times and I haven't got any reasonable answer. All they do is redirect you to their website, where you cannot do anything. Please, don't use their service, you will not just lose your money, but also your innocence and the trust of man kind
I used this company and booked flights before Covid Feb 2020, its now nearly September 2021 and despite Pegasus airlines refunded Kiwi, Kiwi have never sent me my refund despite countless emails. My flights were cancelled by the airline Check other reviews, there are thousands of people in the same situation. Do not use.
Booked a round trip flight to Portugal this morning and ended up getting a confirmation for a one way ticket to Lisbon at the cost of a round trip and now they are fighting us on a refund despite this clearly being a glitch on their website. Do not use this booking site. Awful and unacceptable service.
Just
I request to refund my tiket around 3 months ago they ask me to send refund avilable amount in 6 weeks if you pay extra charges so i paid them extra charges and still they did not refund me any amount and they even not replying my email. Here is proof booking number 118 131 563.
Just money grabbing company. They will only refund full amount (even if you cancel 2 weeks earlier), to Flexible ticket, which means you have to pay $40 extra just to have the ability to get funds back, any funds back.
Now they will get refunded for my ticket by the airline, and sell another ticket, and just get my $210 as a gift for the horrible business they run.
Stay away from this company!

They just steel money. I booked a flight and they sent me some changes on the itinerary that were impossible, I had 5 minutes to transit. I asked them to change the second flight and they said there was no option. I asked them to give me back my money as O had paid an insurance with them. Never received the money. My honeymoon and they just stole over 1000$
Purchased a standard ticket, received saver ticket. Customer service refused to correct the error. When I had to change flights due to a family emergency, they charged me the full price of the new ticket without refunding me for the ticket I was no longer able to use. What this means is they cancelled my flight, received a refund, and kept it for themselves while charging me the full price of a new ticket. Corporate greed at its finest. The customer always loses with Kiwi.com. DO NOT USE THEM TO BOOK FLIGHTS, HOTELS, ETC... You will lose money and regret it, trust me. There are so many better ways to book flights, such as through the airline itself. Please please don't make my mistake. Using Kiwi doubled the cost of my flight for no reason at all. Save your hard earned money and stay away from this scam.
This company refused to giving back any money for the cancelled flight. I bought the tickets to Thessaloniki in February. This flight had cancelled in during next 3 days. The company promised that they're giving back the money during next 3 months. I have no answers until now.
I turned to my layers. I will sue.
I paid $1000 for a reservation on Kiwi. One of my flights was canceled and I did not have the Kiwi guarantee (which I hear is garbage anyways) and so I was basically stuck with the option of switching to a flight with multiple one hour length transfers for ~$600 more or canceling my trip entirely. It was a hard decision to cancel but I am glad I did because I needed something more reliable, but nonetheless they refuse to refund me for some legs of my trip and they will be taking forever to refund other parts. Disappointing experience. Never again.
Had trouble getting boarding passes both to and from our destination. No number to call for customer service and can't get through the chat box to a human. To go, it took an agent 20 minutes to access to the tickets to issue boarding passes. To get home It took an agent 55 minutes to issue boarding passes. The airline used their own tech support system to access the tickets as there was no way to call Kiwi to release them. My husband and I were prepared to pay for one way tickets so as to make connection in the US from the Bahamas to get home. Worst experience ever with a company.
Pretty bad service. I've booked the flight thinking we have a regular layover and the luggage would be transfer to a destination. Turns out, they've booked two separate flights for us and with a short layover time its now virtually impossible to get our bags checked as we won't have time to get the bags and 'register' for the second leg. Inquired about the refund within 24 hrs, they said that only 10 euros could be applied to another trip. Otherwise there's no refund.
Horrible service. Stay clear.
Kiwi.com just wants to disguise as one of the mainstream flight websites but in reality is below par and slyly charges more and more money for even a little thing. Their different ticket categories is a fraud as they hide a lot of information and falsely shows that you can make changes to the flight if you opt for a more expensive ticket
This site is a scam. They overcharge you for flights you could've just booked yourself! On top of that they don't allow a 24 hour grace period for cancellations so once you've realized you've been scammed there's no way to cancel. This site should be shut down!
The customer service for this company is terrible. It is impossible to talk to anyone until just before your trip. The description of flight charges are unclear. I was charged for baggage when my flight actually included a free checked bag. The company would not consider refunding part or all of my $400 for both my husband and myself. $200 a bag seems exhorbitant.
We had our mid April, 2020 flights canceled due to Covid. Do you think we have gotten our refund back for the canceled flights? The answer is no. We even paid them extra money to expedite the refund. What a waste in every way possible.
I would avoid them at all costs. They are difficult to communicate with.
If there was a zero star rating that's what I would have selected.
My flights were cancelled because of the pandemic, Flybe ceased operations and there was an international travel ban. Still waiting for a refund. I booked January 20,2020 and I was scheduled to travel in April 2020. I don't know why they're holding my money hostage. Makes no sense! All my friends that booked directly with the airlines were reimbursed a year ago! I don't understand why there is a delay in processing this. I worked in tourism and I understand it's a tough time but a lot of us won't be able to travel for a very long time and could use the money. Especially those of us that lost their jobs due to the pandemic :(
I searched for a round trip ticket from Singapore to Perth on Skyscanner.com. The best price was 385 SGD offered by kiwi.com. I proceeded to their website, made the purchase and authorised 385 SGD purchase. I received an email that my transaction was being processed. After 10 mins, I received a confirmation, e-ticket and Invoice for 485 SGD. During the 24 hours before and 24 hours after, the price never exceeded 430 SGD on Skyscanner. I contacted them immediately regarding their fraudulent transaction but they kept sending grammatically incorrect emails denying the transaction was authorised for 385 SGD.
The worst customer service I've encountered, they canceled a flight that was refundable and provided me with a refund of 10 euros for a flight that cost 630 euros. They didn't give me any solution to the problem, I'm trying to get some help from customer service but their answers are robotic and make no sense!
This company stole 600 from me, there is no other way to describe it, a shocking experience
I bought a ticket with kiwi from Dallas to Germany, got to the front desk the day of the flight and was not able to take my flight because they (kiwi.com) bought my ticket with a different destination and did not notify me! I lost my flight and my money and the only answer that they could give me was sorry. They told me that they are going to contact me back and I am still waiting. Please please don't use this company, save your money.
Answer: I have reserved 7 flight through Kiwi with Spirit Airlines. Within 24 h I realised that I made a mistake on the flight date. I made a change and saw that Kiwi wanted to charge for both flights. When I told them I thought I could be reimbursed, they told me to go through the refund process on their website. I did. Just to make sure, I called Spirit and explained the issue. They said that they would fully reimburse Kiwi because the change was make within 24 h and it was an american law. Today, I received the answer for my refund request and Kiwi said they could not get reimbursement from the airline and I would have to pay double. When I tried to reach them to tell them there had to be another way, all of their contact information on their website was 'temporarily unavailable'. I feel like they have stolen from me.
Answer: I am sorry you are going through this, I checked but can't seem to find a record of it either
Answer: Kiwi makes money from air flight cancellations and mistakes they make because They will refund nothing! I even bought add on insurance. That doesn't prevent them from dismissing it will all sorts of unreasonable misdirection. They have no right to operate and be so big... at the expense of poor unfortunate customers who spend their hard earned money to travel. The give the aviation industry a really bad name.
Answer: There is no doubt that Kiwi.com is a scam. If you want to get your money back, then email the US Department of Transportation (douglas dot e dot davis at dot.gov) and CC the CEO of Kiwi.com (oliver dot dlouhy at kiwi.com), the Vice-President of Customer Services (Petra dot Reiter at kiwi.com), and the head of customer servcies for the EU (anna dot cavazzini at europarl.europa.eu) Good luck and do not use them again.
Answer: Because people don't know and they offer cheap flights.
Answer: Kiwi.com are crooks and charlatans. Avoid them. Dispute the charges with your bank if you can, and then spend 30 minutes online piling bad reviews till they are out of business.
Answer: Booking service... and a bad one on the market. Outrageous and not responsable to their customers
Answer: Yes call them threat them that you will sue them and also tell your credit card company that they made a mistake and are not owning to it. Get screenshots of everything including your calls to kiwi. Ask them for a voucher and on other hand contact your credit card to file a dispute.
