Seamless and smooth
Very organized. Good communication. Just make sure you get to your departure location in plenty of time. We missed the first bus (our luggage took forever to get off the plane) and they just put us on the next bus (30 min later). Very accommodating.
Sold me tickets for a route that is closed, kept me hanging then cancelled.
Booked 5 first-class Nuwara Eliya–Ella tickets because they looked sold out on the official site. After paying, their partner AKMT said that train doesn’t even run from there anymore it leaves from Ambewela, which was available on the official site the whole time at normal price. No way to cancel in-app. They sent 1 ticket of 5, promised the rest “at 11am on travel day,” never gave seat numbers, ignored every question, then cancelled the booking the night before with a child in our group. Refund email came but no money yet. Felt like a scam. Book direct on the official railway site instead!
International
Great fast, user friendly app with many ride options.
Unreliable
The first time using Bookaway and they cancelled my booking 10minutes before my departure. I then had to make last minute alternative arrangements at a much higher cost. Very very disappointing
Good!
Booked my ferry easily
DO NOT USE!
PAID for 2 shuttle tickets. Shuttle driver said it’s common for BookAway to sell tickets and not reserve with the shuttle service. Shuttle was booked. We, and another couple, were left to fend for ourselves. THEY STILL HAVEN’T EVEN REFUNDED ME!
Great service
Have used this app now a few times to book trips via boat and land. Have been very impressed with the service received. Everything has been as planned and that makes for happy travellers.
Do not purchase tickets using this app
Booked a ferry ticket in Philippines - got to the ferry port and discovered paid more than DOUBLE the actual ferry price. Will never be using this app again and will be discouraging others from doing so. Disgusting how you can exploit customers in this way
Good
Easy site to navigate.
Horrible. Do not book!
First of all the app doesn’t even work so you can’t sign up. Then you go on their website and the chatbot can’t comprehend simple responses and once an agent responds they send a message and immediately close the chat without allowing you to respond.
Punctual and speedy
Great app. The only one I use when traveling. Shows all the possible ways to get around and booking is super simple
Don’t Buy On The App
Just use it as a way to find services/companies and buy it directly through their official website, not on BookAWay.
Seamless
Great app, user focused
Pretty Bad
Bugs. Incorrect addresses. Incompetent and horribly slow customer service. One of my issues took over a month to resolve somehow. I was blamed for an incorrect pick up address in the system which was clearly a bug. Instead of simply offering to refund me (after purchasing multiple tickets, some redundant), they tried to blame the carrier and get them to pay for the refund. Terrible. Obviously they wouldn’t, and so they decided to make up some convoluted story that somehow I was at fault for their bad data. I can see now from the other reviews that I’m not alone in experiencing a rather disappointing situation.
Solid service
Great train ride. Been using it while backpacking, no problems.
DO NOT BOOK WITH BOOKAWAY
I have taken many sleeper buses these last years, and in Vietnam, we booked with BOOKAWAY. But the bus that picked us up was a different bus than the one we had booked. The bus was over an hour late, it was overbooked so people were sleeping on the floor, no toilet break, bus smelled awful… and then arrived 3 hours too late, on a different destination at about 30km from the described destination, which made us miss our appointment for the Halong Bay cruise that day. Customer service just offered us 10% discount on our next trip… what a joke 😂 Horrible experience.
Great
Great app
SCAM!!! DO NOT USE!!
Bookaway is a scam. Do not use this service. They will take your money and leave you stranded. I needed to take a shuttle across Costa Rica to catch my flight back to the US, so I booked a shuttle on Bookaway as it was the cheapest option available. I should have read more reviews, because upon realizing that my shuttle wasn’t in fact coming, I discovered that about 100 other people have been scammed by Bookaway as well. I was left with no other choice but to spend the rest of my budget on catching a private shuttle to the airport to make my flight. Save your money and your sanity and DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!! Apple should remove this app from the AppStore as it is pure fraud.
Makes travel easier !
This just made traveling so much easier!! I’ve been using bookaway all over the world when I travel.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Please do NOT use this company!! I booked a pickup to the airport at 2PM… contacted customer service at 2PM to verify my ride was still coming and had to go back and forth with customer service for 40 minutes about why my ride had not arrived. Customer service informed me they could not get ahold of the driver as they did not have a valid phone number. Additionally they said they would “cancel” my ride after waiting almost 45 minutes. When I explained that I would now have to pay $35 for a taxi due to this companies incompetence they told me to get a receipt for the taxi driver (as if they did not believe me). TAXI DRIVERS IN MEXICO DO NOT GIVE RECEIPTS & are cash only!! Once I explained that… they ended the live chat and I had no way of contacting them again. THIS COMPANY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED! PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!
