It was very straight forward to make my booking. I apologise for putting the wrong date in my original reservation (Malaga-Seville on 24 October) and trust you can refund me accordingly. David K Irvi... See more

I found the overall booking process very straightforward and easy, which I appreciated. That said, I was disappointed by the lack of seat selection this time. On a previous first-class trip a year ago... See more

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The process was efficient in general, but we missed the prompt that would have allowed me to book for two persons, and for going/return, in one single go. The prompt should be more obvious.

Beware the misleading commitments from…

Beware the misleading commitments from this company!
We ordered rail tickets in Korea 4-5 weeks ahead. Rail Ninja kept us waiting until a few days before the departure date with AI chatbots telling us the tickets were "still processing". I tried to speak with a human agent and it took me over an hour without any real help except for vague comments about "it will be all right". In the end, there were no tickets and they refunded us the ticket price, but it was a huge waste of our time and effort, we were forced to make alternative travel arrangements at the last minute and it was was very stressful. This company makes false commitments and does not provide sufficient warning about the possibility that it will not be able to complete the order.

When tickets are sent

Note that if you buy your ticket well in advance, you might get a message saying you will receive your tickets "soon". That could be misleading if tickets are not yet available.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. Chris.

According to your booking details, your trip is scheduled for March. As indicated in your personal account, the tickets are expected to become available in the app around February 3rd. Therefore, the tickets have not yet been issued, in line with the expected timeline.

We also haven’t received any emails or messages from you regarding this issue. Could you please clarify which QR code you were referring to so we can better understand the situation?

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact our Support Team. You can start a chat directly in the app or email us at support@rail.ninja. We’ll be happy to help!

Website ease of use

Website shows the options, and after making reservations, Rail Ninja got the ticket assignments over 2 months before we travel which completed all the preparation for our trip.

Lesson learned

Astonished that Rail Ninja has a 4.4 star rating - just checked the price on the original service and Rail Ninja has marked tickets up by nearly 300%. Steer clear of this company and book direct.

It was easy to get train tickets

It was easy to get train tickets. The only thing that was confusing were the emails I got. It was hard to tell which were the real tickets and which, if any were receipts. I still can't tell what seat is mine, but I'll figure it out.
