Verdict
Overall sentiment toward eDreams is overwhelmingly negative, with the vast majority of reviewers expressing frustration over unexpected subscription charges and difficult cancellation processes. While a small number of users found the initial booking interface simple, many cite poor customer support and severe challenges obtaining refunds for cancelled travel. Consumers are strongly advised to carefully review terms during checkout and consider booking directly with providers to avoid these reported issues.
Scam company with dodgy Hidden monthly subscription fees that they try to enforce for a full year! Stay away, use Bookings.com for free and simple. Threatened to Report to the ACCC then reported the transaction to my bank. It a known scam, works on offering cheap fares. STAY AWAY
Don't you dare book through eDreams. I booked a car in Germany, only to be told later that I couldn't take it into France. I’ve been trying to cancel the booking for weeks, but they haven't responded to my request.
if I could give zero I would DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE Booked flights with them, instead of asking for travelling names they just take your prime login when questioned NO care at all. When I pointed this out they basically laughed and said you will have to book another flight. Still discussing but stay away they are deceitful.

Scam after scam. They got fined for misleading customers about its subscription pricing. They ACCC forced them to refund and they sent remediation program email to get refund via their remediation program on their website. But there no such of remediation program on their website. Their provided remediation email is also not a valid email. This is a scam company. How did our government allow them to scam our people in Australia ???
I am extremely dissatisfied with the way this subscription and cancellation process has been handled. I initially registered on the website in June in order to book a flight and paid the fee presented to me at that time. Shortly afterward, I noticed an additional charge of $10.99 that I was not expecting. I went back to the platform and completed… Read more
what I understood to be the cancellation process.
However, I later discovered that this did not actually cancel the subscription. In September, I was charged another $10.99.
When I realized this, I searched for a way to properly cancel the subscription and found that I had to call customer service. After approximately 30 minutes on the phone, I was told that an exception would be made to cancel my subscription, but that the most recent $10.99 charge would not be refunded.
As frustrating as that already was, I then discovered that I was charged approximately $90 for the phone call because the customer service number was international.
This is completely unacceptable. A subscription that can be created online should also be able to be clearly and easily canceled online. Requiring a customer to make an international phone call to properly cancel a recurring subscription—particularly when the online cancellation process gives the impression that the service has already been canceled—is unreasonable and extremely misleading.
I am now out approximately $90 simply for calling to cancel a $10.99 subscription, in addition to the subscription charge itself.
I am requesting that you review this situation and provide an appropriate resolution, including a refund of the most recent $10.99 subscription charge. I also strongly believe that the company should address its cancellation process so that other customers are not placed in the same situation.
I have documentation of the charges and the international call and can provide it if necessary.
I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

THE WORST!!! I paid a flex ticket and was impossible to use, the app didnt alowed me, I called several times, sent emails and was impossible. To speak to a supervisor you have to wait 72 hs, Im still waiting for the call now, I dont know if they call you or is just another lie. The app tell me I can change my flight, the terms and conditions tell… Read more
me too but when I tried to change it said that was an error, that something went wrong and call center just said that doesnt apply and you have to pay a penalty and a new flight for 1116 Euros in my case. And for the same exact flight on google flights or My trip or other agencies is 352 Euros. On skyscanner start in 320 Euros. As you can see in the pics, in the email they said the change gonna cost me 1116 Euros and a new flight is more than 3 times less. I called several times to Copa Airlines too because edreams wasnt help me and they showed me that the ticket they bought from them was Economy Class, and told me that with that ticket you cannot make any change with out pay 200 dollars penalty and other charges, Copa Airlines told me that never was a flexiblle ticket and now I know why they dont help you or answer and talk to an supervisor is mission impossible, is because they dont pay a flexible ticket but charge you for that as you can see in all of my pictures and proofs. This agency is a scam. They just want your suscription and they steal from you.

yourself a headache spend the extra not using third party. Only thing I learned going through eDreams. Ruben Zavala!

May 2026: Booked a flight through eDreams and their Prime nonsense is enabled by default. If you're not careful or in a rush because the timer's running out, it's easy to click right past this because they make it look like you have to. That's what happened to me so I went back and read it, '15 day free trial cancel any time'. So I figured it… Read more
wasn't worth the headache of clicking back and risk losing my booking opportunity again (price had already gone up). I was gravely mistaken.
I did google search and found tons of nightmare complaints. Immediately checked account online via desktop... no option to cancel subscription. You can't delete your payment method either. I tried and it flatly tells you that you can't if you have an active Prime membership.
So I called the support number. I gave them a chance. I politely asked to cancel Prime as I don't want an ongoing subscription. She went into a spiel about how I got a discount on flight and hotel because I knowingly signed up for Prime--"terms and conditions" she called it. I said, OK but it's a free trial right? Your website says I can cancel during the trial so I want to cancel. She began the same spiel again so I stopped her.
Me: Hey I just want to cancel
Agent: I must read you the terms and conditions
Me: You already did.
Agent: I'm going to read them again
Me: Ok
After her spiel silence followed.
Agent: So? Are you there?
Me: Huh? Yes I'm still here
Agent: I need an answer from you
Me: Answer to what? You didn't ask a question. I just want to cancel.
Agent: Well you signed up and it was very clear
Me: Yes, it's very clear on your webbsite that I can cancel within the 15 day free-trial. That's what a free-trial means.
It went on like this with no progress and now we were yelling at each other so I asked for a supervisor. Of course she claimed there was none available. I pressed on, I wasn't letting this go. She finally got exasperated and asked me to hold. A min or two later she comes back and says the Prime plan has been cancelled, you'll get an e-mail confirmation and if you ever sign up again you'll be charged.
Now, the e-mail confirmation did arrive and it looks like the subscription was indeed cancelled. So I went to delete my payment method. A confirmation dialog now appears asking if I want to remove it. I click Yes. Nothing happens. Card is still there even after refreshing the page. Looks like I have to call in again...
As I'm sure you all know by now, do NOT use this company. You can fly for the same price through a different site/agent. Their Prime "discount" is a scam which in fact does not save you any money; quite the opposite, it is designed to give the illusion of a discount (aformentioned nonsense fee) as well as hook you into ongoing subscription payments. You will have a fight on your hands to get out of it but at least it is possible. If you don't believe me just to a quick google search to verify what I'm saying.
Scam scam sacmmmmmm I had a very disappointing experience with eDreams. I booked a flight from Canberra to Melbourne through eDreams, but the boarding pass they sent me was invalid. When I arrived at the airport, the staff informed me that I could not board the plane because the boarding pass was not valid in the system. Due to this issue, I… Read more
was forced to book another last-minute flight at my own expense in order to travel to Melbourne. It caused a lot of stress, inconvenience, and extra cost.
We contacted Jetstar Airways directly, and they confirmed that the refund had already been processed back to eDreams and that it would normally take around 7 days. However, it has now been almost 2 months and I still have not received my refund.
I have sent multiple emails to eDreams, but they rarely respond and have not properly resolved the issue. Customer service has been extremely disappointing.
I would not recommend booking through eDreams based on my experience.
Every single time I pick a flight on their page, they change the price to be several thousand dollars higher! On different days, different flights! I’m surprised it’s legal. It’ll say, “Oops, the airline changed the price.” But when you look for the flight again, they offer it cheaper once again and change it when you go to book it. Show details
Very poor services. I had booked a ticket once and somehow I had subscribed to it without knowing, but surprising thing was never received any email or any other correspondence regarding the subscription. And I had been paying $16.50 since Jan2026. And when I finally realised and cancelled the subscription it says it’s been cancelled but I will… Read more
still pay till Jan 2027. So I had to call the customer service, the guy who answered was sitting in Delhi, India. He finally managed to get the permission to cancel it so that I have no charges but explaining to him was a painful process. Even after I told him repeatedly that the subscription happened without my knowledge, and I have not and will not use the services anytime soon as I don’t have plans of travelling in the near future. He kept telling me that I had the chance to cancel before the trail period. If I didn’t know that I have subscribed then how should I know when the trail ended. I was expecting some refund but nope.

e-Dreams website. It’s a total scam. Don’t even think about using your credit card there – they slap fake discounts everywhere and then charge you way more than you signed up for. The site’s as secure as a sieve, so your info’s up for grabs. Seriously, steer well clear unless you wanna get ripped off and lose your hard-earned cash. Don’t be a mug, this place is a straight-up money thief Show details
Misleading practices + broken refund promise I had an extremely frustrating experience with eDreams, and I would strongly advise others to be very careful. I was charged €99 for the automatic renewal of their “Prime” subscription after a free trial. During the trial period, I actually tried to cancel, but their website explicitly suggested… Read more
keeping the subscription active until after my trip to “benefit from the perks.” This is clearly designed to make users forget to cancel — a very questionable practice.
After being charged, I immediately contacted support (March 16) explaining the situation. To their credit, they replied the same day confirming that a full refund (€99.99) had been initiated and would be processed within 72 hours.
However, that’s where the good part ends.
The 72 hours passed — no refund.
Since then: • March 22 — I asked for an update → ignored • March 23 — Follow-up → ignored • March 24 — Contacted again via their web portal → ignored • March 25 — Still no reply, no refund, no explanation
So not only do they use misleading tactics to push subscriptions, but they also: • Make promises about refunds that are not respected • Completely ignore customers once the issue is “closed” on their side • Provide zero transparency or accountability
At this point, it feels like they just say “refund initiated” to get rid of complaints, without actually following through.
This is unacceptable, especially for a company operating in the EU, where consumer protection laws clearly require transparency and fair practices.
Conclusion: Misleading subscription flow + false refund promises + nonexistent customer support = absolutely not trustworthy.
Avoid at all costs!! if you don’t want to waste your money and time. Feels like an absolute scam.
Stay far from the app and from them. They get money without my consent and I can not delete the membership from the app even though the said I can not do. They gave me a number to contact and after 12 minutes waiting for someone to help me I had to hung out due to all my credit was almost finished. No one helped me and soon they will get other money if I can not manage to delete the account! It is unbelievable, no acceptable!! Show details
Do NOT use under any circumstances. I booked a flight two months ago and followed instructions clearly, reading fine print. They nonetheless charged me a monthly “subscription” for $16/month. AI customer service over phone, no human answers after 30 mins. Reported their ILLEGAL transactions to MasterCard and Commonwealth Bank for refund. DO NOT USE, not now, not ever.

You can not delete account either beware.
Unauthorized eDreams Prime charge of $89.99 after a 2023 booking I booked a flight with eDreams in June 2023 (Cairo → Sharm el-Sheikh) and never knowingly subscribed to any paid “Prime” membership. I only used the service once, and there were no renewal charges in 2024 or 2025. Unexpectedly, in 2026, eDreams charged me $89.99 USD for a “Prime… Read more
renewal” I never agreed to. I have contacted customer service several times, but they keep refusing a refund, citing company “policy.” This charge is clearly unauthorized, and I have now filed a formal complaint with consumer-protection authorities. I hope eDreams will review my case seriously and process the refund as soon as possible.

Edreams is engaging in illegal practices! – eDreams is engaging in illegal practices! They automatically enrolled me into their paid Prime membership without my explicit consent, which is a deceptive and unlawful business tactic. This type of automatic enrollment violates consumer protection… Read more
laws in both Europe and Australia, where clear, informed consent is required for any paid services.
As if that wasn’t enough, when I needed to cancel my flight—despite having purchased their cancellation insurance—they refused to issue a refund. Their customer service was unresponsive and completely unhelpful, leaving me frustrated and out of pocket.
Consumers need to be aware of eDreams’ misleading and unlawful behavior. Beware of hidden fees and unreliable insurance—this company cannot be trusted. Stay away!
Follow-up · Still no insurance payment, no benefits, nothing. Horrible company. Stay as far away as possible. They are cheap because they know you automatically fall into they subscription model.

I was nervous making this booking from Mcr to Miami but the website made it very simple and easy to do. All available add-ons were optional but a few were really useful and non were very expensive. One of the ones I chose was to have the check-in process done automatically and it only cost a few pounds. Show details

Booking flights was straightforward, I am a prime member and have never really encountered any issues

Scam service that took money out from 2 different names from my account. They get you with fine print to sign you up to a year subscription. They have been fined by the ACCC already and I have reported them also to get money back. Anyone affected please report to ACCC to get them shutdown.
Be aware of unwanted charges which appear in your credit card regularly if you use the service from edream. I even tried to dispute the charges but was denied. Not a good platform for buying any service from edreams Show details
The Prime membership is extremely difficult to cancel. When I tried to cancel, the agent gave me a credit for my next trip if I kept my monthly membership. I thought, why not, not knowing that it's an annual commitment for a monthly membership. I never agreed to an annual commitment to the subscription. So I have been paying for a year of monthly for a membership I don't use, with no options for refunds. Think twice before you subscribe.

I am extremely disappointed with eDreams. I booked a flight through their platform and, without realising that I was signing up for a yearly membership, I later discovered that money was being deducted from my account. I contacted customer service expecting a fair solution, but they refused to cancel the membership and resolve the issue properly.… Read more
As a customer who only wanted to book a flight, I should not have to deal with unexpected recurring charges and such a frustrating cancellation process.
The lack of transparency around the membership and the way this issue has been handled have completely destroyed my trust in this company. Good customer service means helping customers resolve problems, not simply refusing to help.
I strongly advise other travellers to check every detail carefully before booking with eDreams, especially anything related to Prime membership and recurring payments. I regret using this platform and would think twice before booking with them again.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!! I only gave them a 1 because 0 was not available I had the worst experience ever with this company. I paid for a hire car for Ireland. I booked more than 9 months in advance. I had looked at the size of the vehicles on offer and after doing my research, I booked a Toyota Rav 4 as we had 4 adults travelling for 3+ weeks… Read more
so we all had suitcases and the luggage would have fit the Rav 4. I started to receive confirmations that I had a Nissan Qashqui. I knew it would not be big enough. I contacted the company a number of times without a response. Got to the airport in Dublin to collect my car and they wanted me to pay for an upgrade to a Kia Sportage as they never had Rav 4's and I had booked a small suv. Basically I got screwed by this company, they don't answer the phone, when they do respond to your email, they say "well you signed to pay the extra so tough". I didn't have a choice to not pay the additional. As it was, EDreams was only slightly cheaper for the RAV 4, it ended up costing me $1200AUD more than the original booking. Absolute rip offs, DON'T DO IT, IT WILL COST YOU IN THE LONG RUN. TRUST ME
