Terrible , useless company
Absolutely terrible service, i have made many bookings with you guys but the last one was the LAST!! I tried to get ahold of customer service lines you stay on hold for so long only to get the response my team is looking into it and we will get back to you in 24hrs , 48, 72 hrs go by no response. I had to keep chasing you guys for an answer and only to be left with false promises. Such an easy thing could not be changed a spelling error on a name by one letter. I was waiting weeks it's finally a day before travel that ticket is now not valid so what happens?? We are not travelling because of you. I want answers and I want our money back or a voucher theres no way we're losing that money over your companys mistake by not being able to do their jobs and lying to us.

Worst Experience!
The worst experience ever, they trick you into a yearly subscription without your consent. You cannot cancel your membership no matter what you do! I would never use these people again. Worst customer service.

Rented a car, refused to give car when at airport and have not received my refund yet after many calls
They are complete ********. I rented a car for my son and they refused to give him the car because he had no credit score. No where is it claimed you need a credit score. I confirmed before my son flew that all would be good as he could have swiped his debit card for the excess and deposit of *** and would be credited again when he returned the car. They have not refunded me the money I paid to get the rental which they refused to give. They also put in a debit order to deduct *** a month for "prime" which I did not agree to. I will never even go into their site again even to check prices .... guaranteed to see debit orders again. STAY AWAY and DONT ENTER ANY INFORMATION!

Kenya Airways and eDreams have left me feeling cheated of my hard-earned money, R17,400!
Kenya Airways together with eDreams took my hard earned money, R17400. I arrived at the airport three hours before departure, yet I was unable to travel due to a transit visa requirement that was never explained to me before I paid for my ticket..I was sent from pillar to post between the two companies, spent over three hours on phone calls trying to resolve the matter, and was ultimately told my ticket was a "no-show" with no refund.

Refund
Subject: Urgent Refund Request – CemAir Flight Cancellation Good day, I am writing to formally request a full refund for my CemAir flight, which I was unable to take due to issues with the aircraft. Yesterday, we were informed that CemAir could not fly us due to technical issues with the aircraft and that we would need to make alternative arrangements. This left us stranded and forced us to make last-minute travel arrangements at our own expense, causing significant financial strain and unnecessary stress. I was advised that because I booked my flight through eDreams, I would need to contact them directly for a refund. However, despite making numerous attempts to contact eDreams through every available channel, I have received no assistance or resolution. I find this entire experience extremely disappointing and unacceptable. As a paying customer, I should not have to bear the financial consequences of a flight disruption that was beyond my control,

Will never recommend this company
Had to very quickly book my mother a flight a few weeks ago just to now get a charge from this company. Upon going to cancel what they say is my subscription I find out I am now liable to pay a monthly fee for the next year. This is rediculous as it had not even been a month since the flight was book. Above and beyond that they have false advertising stating all costs are covered yet I paid over R1000 for her bags at the airport. Disgusted
