Overall Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Excellent)

KAYAK is a great place to plan a trip and get travel packages and deals on hotels, flights, and transportation in popular travel destinations around the world. Navigating the site is fairly straightforward and finding great options through them is a breeze, yet visitors should be aware they won't be able to book accommodations, flights, etc. directly on the site, meaning they'll be redirected to the actual service provider. Confusion about how the site works and what they do has earned the company unfavorable customer reviews on several online platforms, yet they remain a good option for those who have yet to figure out where they're traveling to next. For their simplicity and transparency, KAYAK remains one of the most popular travel search engines out there.

Kayak Customer Experience

Customer Experience - 4.5 / 5

Since KAYAY redirects travelers to partner sites to complete their booking, they don't charge anything for their aggregator services. Both their website and mobile application are easy to use and contain valuable information for travelers and vacationers. Those looking for traditional lodging options and deals are sure to appreciate KAYAK's simplicity. The meta aggregator is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau but holds an A+ rating with the organization. Most negative customer reviews on this site as well as on Trustpilot.com have been promptly addressed by the company, further evidencing the company's commitment to maintaining a consumer-friendly image.

Kayak Search Options

Search Options - 4.9 / 5

KAYAK lets users filter their search results by location, neighborhood, price, amenities, ambiance, type of property, etc. The site is easy to use and search results can be sorted according to criteria like recommendations, cost, distance, reviews, and ratings. Although the website also employs the search engine-style minimalism so widely used in the travel booking industry, their broad array of filtering and sorting options can make it seem cluttered in comparison to other similar sites. Nevertheless, their visual approach, which incorporates overviews with icons, pictures, ratings, maps, and similar options, makes the comparison process quick and straightforward.
