Don’t trust this Rail Monster

Don’t trust this Rail Monster, i booked here train ticket and it cost be double the price. Better book directly from which train station you want to buy. If i did not cancel my booking, i wouldn’t know how a big thief this app is!!!

Hi Jho,

We're surprised by your comment, especially since you canceled the booking and were refunded. No theft occurred.

Ticket prices vary based on availability, currency exchange, and fees set by the rail suppliers. Everything is clearly shown before payment — no hidden charges, and no one is forced to buy.

We understand some people prefer buying directly at stations, but many others value booking online with support in English, 24/7 assistance, and a smoother experience — that’s exactly what Rail Monsters provides.

We ask you to reconsider the harsh accusation, as it doesn’t reflect how we operate or treat our customers.

NOT Recommended!

NOT Recommended!! I booked train tickets for my family and received booking confirmation and next day it was cancelled after asking to pay more for tickets which were already booked. Very disappointing and frustrating they don’t value their customers. They say it was an issue with their pricing system but why do Customer have to bear all the inconvenience!! Very cheap gesture by railmonsters.com.

Hello Muzaffer,

We’re genuinely sorry to read your comment, but we’d like to clarify the situation for transparency.

Your order was cancelled due to a rare pricing issue from the rail supplier’s side. While these situations are outside our control, we always inform customers immediately and offer options to proceed if they still wish to travel.

It’s important to note that a disputed (chargeback) was filed from your side, even though the cancellation and refund were already processed. This action contradicts your public complaint and unfortunately limits how we can further assist.

We always strive to provide honest, responsive service — as reflected in hundreds of 5-star Google reviews. If you believe we made a mistake, our support team is happy to discuss it further.

Used RailMonsters to book my…

Used RailMonsters to book my Tokyo-Osaka train, and it was super easy! The site’s super clear, and I found the ticket I wanted in no time. Loved having all the train options laid out, so I could pick exactly what worked for me. Had a quick question, and customer service was super helpful too. Made the whole booking process chill—definitely using them again next trip!
