Customer service - I booked a hotel with Klook that specifically offered 24hr airport transfers for a fee (with 48hrs notice prior). After being transferred between 5 agents and multiple attempts at receiving help - Klook has told me that they can't help and to work it out myself. I leave in 5 days and have spent over a week on this, being told… Read more
to be patient for 3-4 days at a time. I have requested to cancel my hotel booking but haven't received a response
Have been a Klook member for many years and Gold member + multiple social media support. Then when I tried to book, my friend who is a new Klook account user say that she have a cheaper deal than me. Same date, same tour, same country. Do you punish your loyal customers? I am very disappointed and will want you to fix this.
where's my refund? Its been more than 45 days since the cancellation, it was a paynow transaction when I did my booking. There is no reason why it would take so long for a refund. dont lie to the agency that you work with for the service, i emailed u close to a month ago and u tell them that i only reached out to u yesterday? Unbelievable 25th… Read more
May u replied after days of me raising this issue, and u tell me the refund will be done 3-14 days from process date which is 4th May. YOUR OWN TEMPLATED REPLIES CONTRADICTS YOUR TIMELINE

I am writing this review purely to raise awareness so that other families do not fall into the same trap and experience the severe distress that we did. As a Klook Gold Member, I have completely lost confidence in this platform due to two major systemic failures on my recent trip. 1. Allowed Booking on a Closed Day (Forbidden City) Klook's system… Read more
allowed me to book a tour for a Monday, completely trusting that their platform provided accurate availability. Upon arrival at the meeting point, my family and I were shocked to discover from our private driver that the Forbidden City is permanently closed every Monday year-round as a fixed rule. It was not a ticket availability issue—it was a total operational closure. We had to call the local operator ourselves to confirm. Klook gave zero advance warning, completely ruining our travel itinerary for the day and causing massive frustration. To make matters worse, their customer support went completely silent when we tried to get it resolved.
2. Absurd Charges and Withheld Refund for an Infant Klook failed to verify local venue age limits and incorrectly charged me for my infant during the booking, despite me providing his date of birth. I had to discover on-site that children under 7 get free admission when the entry staff didn't even need to scan the infant's passport. When I demanded a full refund, Klook actually withheld a portion of the money, absurdly claiming the fee was for "wireless headphones and guide explanations." Forcing a headcount charge for a non-verbal infant who cannot physically use headphones or understand a guide defies all common sense and fair consumer practice.
I originally posted this warning directly on the Klook app, but they simply rejected it to hide their system failures. Since they are actively suppressing negative feedback on their own platform, I am posting this here to ensure other travelers are warned.
The errors lie entirely within Klook’s faulty system data and poor merchant coordination, yet the burden of chasing them for over two weeks has been pushed onto me. Their competitors offer far more reliable support. Save your time, protect your itinerary, and book elsewhere.
The ad from Klook clearly states that winter tires are included with my reservation. However, the rental company charged me extra for that. The rental company said that many other customer were mislead by Klook and that it was Klook's fault. Klook later admitted guilt saying that the ad was in fact misleading. Despite that, Klook still refuses to… Read more
refund the extra cost for winter tires. I have lodged multiple complaints and hoping for a fair resolution.
0 Star Review if ai could Please Read Before Booking If this can save just one person from stress and wasting a night on holiday. I’ll be happy. I really wish I could recommend Klook, but my experience was incredibly stressful and ruined one of my final nights in Japan. I booked a food tour for two people costing $271.40. We arrived early at… Read more
the meeting point shown directly on the Klook listing map and emails sent to you, we waited, and no guide ever arrived. We met another guest who was also waiting, I was told the tour “went ahead without me,” even though I had timestamped photos, chat screenshots, call logs, and a photo standing with the other guest who was also stranded.
There was no direct way to contact Klook. Calling meant the phone rang out and going through there chat help part meant waiting for ages in a very long queue to have someone on the other end who couldn’t help and said someone else would “email in a few days.” Their online agent couldn’t reach the guide, gave no help, and told me to email the operator myself. So I did, The tour operator, not knowing Klook had put up the incorrect meeting point. Argued that it went ahead without us and only when they released the information that we spoke to the other lady that was completely stuffed around by this then understood that they had to contact Klook and let them know of the address stuff up on there end.
They spoke to Klook and said about them having the wrong address and told them to contact me which never happened (kept having to try to contact them) But the next day when I checked and they had changed the address so you know they got the information and just left me sitting there not know what was going on.
After ages of worry, and trying to communicate with this awful company, Klook finally agreed to refund me — but then tried to refund less than I paid, leaving out the insurance I had purchased. I had to chase that too, even though the cancellation was entirely due to their mistake.
In the end, the whole thing was far too stressful, and losing one of my last nights in Japan was upsetting. This experience left me feeling ignored, unsupported, and treated unfairly at every stage.
Please be cautious booking with Klook. If something goes wrong, you may have to fight hard to get your money back. For me, it simply wasn’t worth the stress.
SCAMMERS - I book a swiss pass and its said FULLY refundable. I paid around 4500$ aud and only got 4200$ back. 300$ being hold. And they said that part somehow its not refundable?!! Not gonna use klook ever again.
On 28 June 2025, we booked a train ticket (Chapa Express - "Luxury" train operator in Vietnam) via Klook, which clearly stated amendments were allowed free of charge if made at least 30 days before the start date. On 27 July, well within this window, we requested to change the booking date. Klook then advised we would incur a cancellation fee,… Read more
contradicting their own terms.
Since then, we have repeatedly contacted the merchant to have the original terms honoured, but have received inconsistent responses. Their latest email demands we pay an unspecified amount directly to the operator upon arrival in Vietnam. This conduct is deceptive and extremely dishonest.
I booked two train tickets from Klook to return to Shinjuku Station in Tokyo from Mount Fuji. Only found out that the tickets were NOT redeemable at the train station at Mount Fuji! I was told by the station staff that I could only pick up the tickets in Tokyo, what’s the point?! However, there is no such information displayed on Klook website… Read more
before purchasing tickets. I contacted Klook, very slow response and not helpful at all! Only nonsense excuses and I can’t even get a refund! I would never book anything from them again nor recommend them to anyone. Avoid Klook at all cost!

I purchased several train tickets for trips in Japan and it was cheaper than going onto the JR site and so easy with the QR code when purchase was confirmed and scanning the code at the ticket machines at the stations - would do again in a heartbeat. The last train of the trip was the Narita Express to catch our flight at Narita Airport. QR Code… Read more
scanned and tickets issued - arrived at platform early and basically our train and others were cancelled due to a fire on the track - we had to get to the airport and mass chaos ensued with airport travellers trying to get to Narita Airport and only other option was different train line and then catch the Skyliner Express - this would not allow us to use our Narita tickets and new tickets had to be purchased - trains were becoming unavailable due to numbers having to travel as Narita Express out of action. Contacted Klook the day we arrived home and after providing some documentation to verify the situation - a full refund of the cancelled tickets was provided within a few days. Outstanding service Klook and I will be using your services in the future. Thankyou

Under no circumstances should you use Booking.com or Klook in Japan. They're illegal in Japan. I bought a ticket for Tokyo Disney via Klook on Booking.com, but they mistakenly sent me a junior ticket. I didn't realize it because you always trust service providers, and when I arrived at Disney, I realized they had sent me the wrong ticket. There… Read more
are no physical ticket offices in Japan; everything is done online through authorized agents. I was then directed to an office, where I was told the ticket was invalid because it was for a junior ticket and I was an adult. I asked them to help me change the ticket from junior to adult, offering to pay the difference, and that's where the problems started. Booking.com and Klook are NOT authorized to sell Disney tickets, so Disney can't do anything about it. In other words, Booking.com and Klook are illegal companies in Japan. That's right. I was told the only way to resolve the situation was through the agency itself, but since Booking.com and Klook don't operate in Japan, there's no phone number. The only way is through their website by sending an email, which took forever to get a response. They said they bought the tickets from an intermediary, and there's nothing they can do. In other words, Booking.com and Klook are washing their hands of it. In the end, almost $100 USD was wasted, nobody takes responsibility, nobody helps at all, and customer service is nonexistent.
Disney told me that I've never bought anything through Booking.com or Klook in Japan under any circumstances because they aren't licensed to operate there. They buy services from Japanese agents as intermediaries, so they can't resolve any problems. This applies to hotels, plane tickets, tours, trains, etc.
Don't fall for it. A plane or train ticket is incorrectly issued, and there's no solution. Simply buy a new ticket and then complain to them well in advance, as they never respond.
Update: after 48 hours, they offered a credit for the full amount and when asked for a refund they asked for some more time. Just got the approval on it so I am re-reviewing from 1 star. ORIGINAL: Spoke to 3 agents in a 12 hour timeframe. We booked Disneyland Paris tickets dated for July 2. There was a record breaking heatwave in Paris with red… Read more
alert meaning you could not be outside more than 30 mins and less if you’re elderly or a child. I have an 18 month old so I was not going to risk it. I asked for a simple change to the date to July 3 when the heat wave broke and they told me at 12PM that I needed to wait UP TO 12 hours for a response. I followed up at 5PM and they told me to wait at least the full 12 hours. I tried again at 12AM (the full 12 hours) and the third agent said it’s at least 24-48 hours I need to wait which means by the time I will likely hear from someone, we will be flying home. Awful customer service. The tickets are legit but don’t book unless you’re absolutely certain there will be no extenuating circumstances that will arise for you. Learn from me as I’m out almost $300 and got nothing but automated responses.

I used Klook to book tours while in Chiang Mai I found klook easy to book our tours with Hotel pick up you could ask for English speaking guide but the last guide we had we couldn't understand him at all even in English .We used whatsapp to contact the guide for our tours.
Klook is excellent with ideas on what to do in different countries, very easy to use the platform. Also, I love how it has all different costs on activities and budget friendly. Highly recommend. So glad I found Klook.
Amazing Service. The support team at Klook are brilliant. They are fast, polite and respectful. I appreciate how patient they were when helping with my trip and some technical issues that arose. They really take the time to explain, outline and guide (via email) you through the process from bookings, to rectifying booking errors. So rare to… Read more
find an online booking platform that treats you like a human.
Either these guys employ and invest in their human employees, or AI has finally gotten that good that I'm not sure I can tell the difference anymore!
Negative reviews
Klook offer trade off rewards for their lowsy service but do not deliver them . Definitely do not trust this company they don't back their products , if there is a problem they will not return the payment.
Misclicked on their website, adding an expensive and unneeded add-on to my booking. Immediately contacted customer service, and was connected with Muhammad I. Muhammad told me tough luck, it's Klook's money now, and to deal with it. No refund/cancellation offered for something I didn't need, and ordered by accident. I wouldn't recommend Klook to anyone.
I booked a Han River cruise in Da Nang through Klook for the dragon bridge fire show. The booking was confirmed for 8:30–9:00pm. On arrival, we were asked to pay an additional public holiday cash fee, and after payment our boarding ticket was changed to 9:15pm. The delay took a long time to resolve and we ended up missing both the cruise and the… Read more
dragon bridge fire show, which was the main reason for booking. We requested a refund due to the timing change and extra fee, but this was declined. I also attempted to leave a review through Klook about the experience, however the review was rejected and I was unable to edit or resubmit it after contacting support. Overall, this experience was disappointing and did not match the booking details provided.

For a Bali trip I booked a vehicle appropriately sized for a bicycle box and mentioned in the booking comments my requirements and the size of the box.

more expensive option, probably a setup. Eventually found a way apply for a refund, but they didn't make it easy and said they'll try and get a refund from the company so it wasn't worth the fuss given I was on a holiday.

We went to the airport in Bangkok to pickup our rental which had already been paid for and found that klook is a proxy for other rental companies. They took our payment from a debit card online but when we arrived, they directed us to Thai Rental Car, an entirely different company. This agency would not accept debit cards as a for of payment for… Read more
deposit. I’ve rented cars around the world, used the same card and never encountered this. We didn’t get the car and then when we asked for a refund, klook only offered a 30% credit towards our next rental.
This seems like a scam at this point. Imagine doing this to only a small percentage of customers and boosting your revenue by $240. Klook didn’t act as a trusted agent. Will never use them again and if you’re reading this I recommend you don’t.
Absolutely fantastic customer service and really wide and varied experiences. From trains, hotels, tours and theme parks. Very competitive pricing. Best travel app, no matter what country you visit.
Booked shinkansen tickets through them - fine. Booked narita express tickets and Tokyo day pass through them - neither were genuine bookings. Very disappointing.
Scam!! Do not use. Save your time and money. I booked a snorkle tour on Nusa Penida. The tour was disgraceful, the equipment was broken and un usable, they left a girl in the ocean and drove off. The water was so rough and no visibility. The ocean was littered with rubbish and nothing like the pictures. The tour was late to begin and very rushed.… Read more
Spent no more than 10 mins at 3 spots before being told it was over. I requested a refund and was blackmailed to take my review down before they would process the refund.

I visited the Klook website and app, as they usually offer good deals on activities in Japan. I was excited to see a 50% discount today, as advertised, but I also encountered some misleading listings. I accidentally booked a tour and had to cancel it since I had booked another one beforehand; this was my mistake. Klook refunded only the booking… Read more
fee for the tour, but I realized I had selected the insurance. According to their policy, they couldn't refund that, despite it being less than 10 minutes since the booking. I find this difficult to understand—although they offered a 30% Klook credit as a goodwill gesture, I still feel I was ripped off. I hope your business practices improve, as some advertisements can be confusing or misleading. Booking number: RNF891550.
My flight was cancelled due to the conflict in the middle east. Although most booked tours didnt have insurance, Klook were so helpful and understanding to my situation and reimbursed me for most tours. Thanks. 5 Star service and highly recommeded. Will be back to klook
Super easy and stress-free! I was worried about my Australian credit card being rejected on the official Disney site, but Klook accepted it instantly. The QR codes arrived in my email within minutes, and I was able to link them to the Tokyo Disney app without any issues. Highly recommend for international travellers!
