The person was very professional and respectful. They solved my issue very quickly. I did not give 5 because i had to wait for an extra hour which was not convenient but it was very good otherwise

Disappointing and dishonest service
Disappointing and dishonest service
I was recommended to use this service to get a bike in the Netherlands but it has unfortunately been very disappointing. The first bike they gave me was too big and was dangerous. I swapped to a new smaller bike and despite making sure that this was not change the end date of my contract, I logged into my account today and have found that I have now had another 6 months added again. Such dishonest service I would unfortunately not recommend them at all. There are loads of bike rental places in Amsterdam so I would really recommend that you shop around!

Hi Fiona,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
We are sorry to hear that your experience has been so frustrating. We are glad you were able to swap your initial bike for a size that is safer and more comfortable for you, but we completely understand your concern regarding the unexpected contract extension.
To clarify how our contracts work: the commitment depends on the specific subscription type chosen by the member at sign-up. When registering, you can select either a flexible membership (cancellable monthly) or a loyal subscription (which has a minimum term of 6 months or longer).
If you initially chose the 6-month loyal subscription, your contract should automatically transition into a flexible, monthly cancellable plan only after that initial 6-month period is completed. However, a simple bike swap should never restart this timeframe. If a brand new 6-month period has been incorrectly added to your account after your swap, this is a mistake on our end, and we sincerely apologise for the confusion. It is certainly never our intention to be dishonest with our members!
Please reach out to our support team directly via email. They can look into the exact subscription you selected at the start, check your account history, and ensure your current subscription status is correct
Best regards,
Team Swapfiets

Hi David,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
We are truly sorry to hear that your bike was delivered dirty and without the basket you requested. This is certainly not the fresh start we want for our riders, as we always aim to deliver our bikes clean, fully checked, and equipped with all your chosen accessories so you can hit the road right away.
Please reach out to our support team directly via phone or email. They will be more than happy to arrange for a basket to be fitted to your bike as quickly as possible and help get this sorted out for you.
Best regards.

The prices are a bit too expensive to be honest. The all risk insurance could be worked on as well. Also the cancellation and subscription policy could be both more clear and flexible.

Hi Newton,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on our pricing and insurance options. While our monthly fee is designed to cover the bike, ongoing maintenance, and repairs to offer a worry-free experience, we appreciate your perspective that the costs and the structure of the theft coverage could be improved.
We also hear your concerns regarding the clarity and flexibility of our cancellation and subscription policies. We always aim to be as transparent as possible about our terms, but your feedback is a great reminder that we can always communicate these more clearly and look for ways to make them more adaptable for our riders. We will certainly pass your insights along to our team as we continually work to improve our service and offer the best value possible.
Best regards.

Friendly Staff, but Disappointing Bike Maintenance
The treat (person to person) is always very kind, quick and on time. But I think you can improve the quality of the service. My bike has old stickers marks, some peeled off areas and I got it quite dirty. At least for the first time you could hose the bikes you give anew..?
Then my (hand) break is not fully adjusted (too hard, you have to squeeze it all the way and when you get there almost does not break) and does not matter how many times I go, they repeat it is the best they can do, that now it breaks more or less... I really think it can be much better. We pay 25 euro/month, just to go once every couple of them to do small checkups and I expect a way better condition of my bike for this.

Hi Maria,
Thank you for your honest feedback.
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced. While it is wonderful to hear that our team has always been kind and quick to help, we completely understand your disappointment regarding the initial condition of your bike. We always aim to hand over our bikes clean and ready to ride, and we will certainly take your feedback about the sticker marks and dirt to heart.
We also hear your frustration regarding the handbrake. You should always feel safe and confident that your brakes are working effectively, and it is definitely not ideal to have to squeeze the brake that hard. Unfortunately, if the bike is still not functioning properly, the best thing to do is to schedule a new appointment via the app so our mechanics can take another look at it or explore other options for you.
Best regards.

They scam through their subscription system
I was there only for a month and rented my bike for 3 weeks. The name of the package was ''cancel anytime'' and nobody told me I should inform my cancelation before 1 month. I thought ''I will use it only 3 weeks and I won't spend more than one month so I can cancel anytime''. But they asked me to pay the another month even though they got the bike back. I told them that they can rent the same bike to another person which is not ethical but they force me to pay another month. Their customer service is not definately friendly they just ask you to pay the money. They are technically scammers.

Hi Merve,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the cancellation policy. While our flexible membership allows you to cancel monthly, there is indeed a standard one-month notice period. This means the contract legally continues for one month after you give notice, even if you choose to return the bike earlier than that date.
We understand this is frustrating if you only needed the bike for three weeks, but we try to be transparent about these terms upon sign-up. We certainly do not intend to come across as unfair, but we do have to stick to the agreement to keep our service running for everyone.
We're sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Best regards.

Dear Swapfiets team,
Dear Swapfiets team,
I would like to share some feedback regarding my recent experience in one of your stores.
I have been a customer for two years, renting bikes with Swapfiets, and I have always had a good experience until yesterday. I went to change my regular bike for an electric one, expecting it to be a positive and smooth experience.
Unfortunately, I felt uncomfortable with the way I was treated by the staff member who assisted me. Because I do not speak Dutch, I felt judged and treated differently, as if I had done something wrong. The attitude felt cold and dismissive, which made the situation very unpleasant.
I also did not understand why so much personal information was requested, when my identity could easily be verified through my ID and my account history, showing that I have been a loyal customer for two years without any issues.
This should have been a positive experience, but instead I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome, as if coming to the store had been a mistake.
I am sharing this not to create conflict, but because I believe in good customer service and respectful treatment for all customers, regardless of language.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.
Kind regards,
Lujan Geis

Hi Lujan,
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for being a loyal customer for the past two years.
We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience upgrading to an e-bike left you feeling unwelcome and judged. We want everyone to feel at home at Swapfiets, regardless of the language they speak, and a cold or dismissive attitude is certainly not the standard we aim for.
Regarding the personal information: upgrading to an e-bike often involves a new contract or additional checks due to the higher value of the bike, even for existing members. However, this process should always be explained clearly and respectfully, and never in a way that makes you feel suspected or uncomfortable.
We take your comments about the staff's attitude very seriously. Could you please contact us directly via email with details about your visit? We would like to address this to ensure our service remains inclusive and friendly for everyone.
Best regards and our apologies for this experience,
Team Swapfiets

I got a new bike because the lock on my previous bike was broken, the employee didn’t even ask me if the height of the saddle was okay and the handle was extremely low compared to the saddle, so i had to come back. On top of that the front wheel was making sound so i went back for the new bike. When i got the new bike, they said our technician will be done in 5minutes. While i was biking in rain, my handle suddenly twisted to the left and felt the break was loose. I immediately went back and the employee said the handle was super loose and this is very dangerous and they should’ve checked it before they gave it to me, and same goes for the break. I was happy with swapfiets for the past 6 months but now im just disappointed

Hi there,
Thank you for your honest review.
We are sincerely sorry to hear about this series of unfortunate events. While having to return for saddle adjustments or noise is annoying, sending you out with a loose handlebar and brake is absolutely unacceptable. You are completely right: this is dangerous, especially in the rain, and it falls far below the safety standards we promise.
We are relieved that nothing bad happened, but we fully understand why your confidence in us has been shaken after six good months. We will address this to ensure strict safety checks are performed before our bikes leaves the store.
We hope you will give us the chance to regain your trust.
Best regards.
