Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 235 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the customer service, describing it as unhelpful and difficult to access, often encountering issues with online AI and long waiting times for advisors. People also found the website to be problematic, with confusing pricing information and general usability issues that made booking and managing accounts frustrating. The service itself, including the overall cinema experience, was frequently criticized, with many feeling that the quality did not justify the cost. A major point of contention for consumers was the pricing, which many considered outrageously expensive for tickets, snacks, and merchandise, leading to a perception of being overcharged. Though some reviewers were happy with the staff, praising their attentiveness and helpfulness in specific locations, others reported unprofessional behavior and a lack of enthusiasm from employees.

Great customer service

I booked a ticket to watch the drama at Nuneaton. I stupidly booked yesterday rather than today. The way they dealt with my error an switching my booking was super quick n they were really helpful

So upset

So upset. I put the wrong location on my cinema on my booking. I asked for this to be changed on the AI bot (because you can’t call anyone!) and it said I couldn’t do this. When I asked what it meant if I cancelled the booking, it asked for my details and then just said it was cancelled! No warning, no confirmation email. When I’ve emailed odeon they’ve replied because I bought a child and adult ticket I cant get refund. So if I want to go see the movie I’ll have to pay again. No sorry, no empathy. I’m fuming. Worst customer service ever. Avoid Odeon and use another cinema.

Their vouchers are a scam

While the cinema experience is great (with amazing recliners at my local cinema), the overall experience is tarnished heavily due to the opaque and almost scammy voucher strategy.
Claim 4 tickets for the family from Vodafone, Odeon has the gall to ask me for £45 (not even sure how the price came to be higher than odeon’s own ticket, almost as if they want to penalise these giveaway tickets), buy a voucher from work and you inevitably end up paying more. On top of that , there’s an online booking fee? Give me a break. If you’re going to act like a dinosaur, might as well just make this a 24/7 Jurassic Park cinema
As somebody who frequents my local Odeon, I’m giving up and will just go to the Vue 5 miles away. Their transparency is much appreciated.

Avoid the ODEON membership unless you…

Avoid the ODEON membership unless you want a massive headache when you finally decide to leave. I gave my full 30 days' notice, yet they still failed to cancel it and wrongly charged me for an extra month.

​I've been promised a refund, but I've yet to see a penny. I just keep getting passed from person to person in their customer service department with zero resolution. They are quick to take your money but drag their feet when it's time to give it back. Terrible experience.

Complaints department non existent.

Complaints department non existent.
Emailed and got a response which I thought was great, but then radio silence despite 4 or 5 chasers. Tried the webchat, you get so far and then when they put you through to an advisor...there is no advisor, I tried several times and same thing each time.
I dont understand how these big organisations have such little regards for customer care.its shocking. I ve chased my issue so many times, I have now give up

Morally abhorrent

Odeon cinemas are cynically and purposefully making the cancellation of MyLimitless an extremely difficult task in order to make money. It took 7 months for them to cancel my membership after requesting. They continued to take my money for 7 months and when I raised a complaint, I was promised a refund. That refund was promised to me in January and it is now March with no refund in sight despite numerous emails being sent to chase it up. I've been directly lied to by their customer services team about somebody leaving me a voicemail, that never happened. I'm shocked that a company of this size can treat their customers so appallingly and there is no accountability or repercussion. I'll be voting with my feet in future and taking my custom elsewhere - this is extremely brand damaging and I'm surprised their leadership team condones & obviously actively encourages this behaviour, especially given the difficult trading conditions right now.

We went Odeon Leicester several times…

We went Odeon Leicester several times to watch movies especially Mollywood movies. The very good thing is there car parking is in vast area with so many parking spaces. The other very important thing is 4 hours free car parking. So we can watch the movie with calm and relaxed mood without making any hurry. That's huge help to Bollywood, Mollywood,Kollywood like Indian language movie viewers because the running time of movie itself that's the length of movie between 2.45-3.0.hours. Then not only that there are a large variety of Indian language movie comes with large number of showtimes in Odeon Leicester. The Theatre are very spacious and the recliner chairs are very comfortable and wide so we'll watch movie like in bed. And the ticket prices are only very reasonable. The distance between rows are spacious so viewers can pass easily without any obstruction or problems.
The staffs are very cooperative and very helpful. So they help the viewers very much. Then the washroom are very clean. And there's a Nando's restaurant nearby. So we can enjoy food also.
Anyway we are totally and very much enjoying watching movies there.

Odeon limitless trying to cancel

Odeon limitless - worst customer service ever . I accidentally bought limitless cards for myself and husband instead of limitless plus - cancelled within 2 weeks without using them to try and upgrade . Constant emailing and using chat to try and get refunded emails not answered and when eventually answered still not refunded . Was told would happen , in meantime my credit card was stolen and trying to explain on a chat about this was told still fine as could pay into account - now been / months , no refund still haven’t used cards and getting no answer . For a company the size of Odeon I expect better service than this . I’ve also bought these cards as gifts for my daughters . Won’t buy again and will switch to other cinemas. I’m not sure how in this day and age a company this size can get away with this .

Ridiculously Loud

Went to watch a film and could not believe how loud it was! I literally had my fingers shoved in my ears throughout the entire film (and adverts). It was either that or leave.

It was the film "I Swear" about the life of a man with Tourette's syndrome. It wasn't any kind of noisy action film, yet was painfully loud throughout, even during just standard dialogue - I can only imagine how loud Marvel films would be at this cinema!

Pretty sure it was loud enough to damage hearing, so won't be going back again.

Impossible to contact anyone at Odeon when you have a problem

I drove to see a film at Odeon Derby, which is up to an hour each way from home, and I was silly enough to leave a jumper behind in the cinema. There is absolutely NO way to contact anyone. You cannot email, phone, use a chatbot. Nothing. I will be back in Derby in a couple of days and will call in, but what appalling lack of customer care that it is impossible to speak to anyone. They give a phone number, but that just refers you to the web site which does not help at all as there is no chat or web link. Dreadful customer service (pity as the film was good)

From regular to Never again

I’d like to add my voice to the dissatisfaction being seen from everyone regarding Limitless. You are not able to cancel membership via their app or online, so they force you to email. I emailed on 1st February. Zero response. Another email on 10th. No response. They only emailed me on 9th March *after* a second payment was taken. And that was advising that there had been delays and that it’s quicker to message on social media!! So I message on every social media I had…and eventually got a response following my account, refunding only one of the payments (as per their terms) but saying they have to *call* me to get my card details for the refund. No specified time and “it might be delayed” So I have no idea what happens now if I happen to miss the call. I dread to think how many people have been stolen from by this company, especially those who are vulnerable and less aware of their finances.

I love the Odeon cinema near me and…

I love the Odeon cinema near me and have been a Limitless subscriber for several years. Good experience overall.

BUT when I try to cancel to save a few quid it’s almost impossible to find out how from the app or from the website. Turns out you need to send an email - in the year 2026 they haven’t implemented a sensible cancellation flow!
To overcome the fact that you need to email and the response times are terrible, they hide behind some clause that says you need to cancel with more than 30 days notice.

I had planned to resubscribe as soon as I had more free time, but I think I’ll not bother until these guys have implemented proper subscription management process

Poor Customer Service

I contacted ODEON on 19 February 2026 to cancel my membership, but I still haven't received any proper response. The only thing they did was create a ticket on the day I submitted the request. Since then, I have sent several follow-up emails and received no meaningful reply.

Their customer service is extremely poor. It is almost impossible to reach a live agent, and their support system seems completely unresponsive.

What makes the situation even worse is their website interface. It is very poorly designed and does not allow users to easily cancel their membership. A service that charges customers monthly should provide a clear and functional way to manage or cancel subscriptions.

If ODEON delays my cancellation further and charges me another month due to their own failure to respond, I will consider taking further action.

Overall, this has been a very frustrating experience and the customer support quality is far below what you would expect from a company of this size.

⭐☆☆☆☆

⭐☆☆☆☆ – Very Poor Customer Service

I requested to cancel my Odeon membership on 19 February, but weeks later I have still received no response at all from customer support.

This left me in a position where I had to block the payments through my bank to prevent further charges. Customers should not have to take this kind of action simply to cancel a membership.

What is most concerning is the lack of communication. A simple confirmation or response would have resolved the issue quickly, yet there appears to be no urgency or care for the customer experience.

A subscription service should make cancellation straightforward and transparent. Ignoring cancellation requests and leaving customers uncertain about future charges is extremely frustrating.

Until this issue is properly addressed and my membership cancellation is confirmed, I cannot recommend Odeon memberships to others.

SCAM

SCAM! AVOID limitless membership
Worst customer service ever! I requested cancellation via email as apparently they work in an archaic way, probably because they know they can scam you.
Due to personal reason I was no longer able to attend the cinema, so I requested cancellation, I was told I could cancel in 30 days, so respond “please cancel as soon as possible then”
Over the next 6 months they continued to take payment? Over the next 6 months I reached out chasing why my pass was not cancel, I resent my email probably about 30 times and reach out to every department I could. NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE. In the end I had to cancel my debit card to avoid any more charges
