Great customer service. Quick replies and provided the seats we wanted.

Very impressed with Rail Monsters. They handled our situation efficiently, secured a great alternative, and kept us informed at every step. Professional, responsive, and reliable. We’ll use them again without hesitation.

Extremely stressful experience – high modification fees and difficult dispute process.

I used Rail Monsters while travelling in Japan and unfortunately, had a very negative experience.

When I needed to modify my booking, I was charged a very high modification fee that I did not feel was proportionate. What was most concerning was how the situation was handled — I spent hours going back and forth trying to resolve the issue, which was incredibly stressful while travelling abroad.

The process felt adversarial rather than supportive. Instead of helping to find a reasonable solution, I felt pressured and dismissed.

I would also encourage potential customers to carefully read all review beofre across multiple platforms before booking. In my own research afterwards, I noticed a large volume of very enthusiastic positive reviews appearing in a short time frame, which made me question how representative the overall rating is.

Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend considering booking directly with official rail providers where possible.

I needed to buy train tickets for the upcoming CNY period, but was having immense trouble booking them through the official HSR website as the second any tickets became available they immediately sold out.

I bought the tickets through Rail Monsters instead and received them within a couple days for a very popular departure time, and have since managed to pick them up properly from an HSR station with no problems.

Although Rail Monsters tickets are far more expensive to purchase than through the official HSR ticket site, the extra expense is worth it in order to get the tickets for the time you need during high in-demand times.

Also, immediately after I purchased the tickets through the Rail Monsters website, I began to freak out that the site wasn't reliable and that I didn't immediately receive the tickets after purchase. But the customer service team, specifically Thomas Wood and Joe Davis, were quick to respond to my inquiries over how long the tickets would take to release to me, and were generally very friendly and helpful.

I made a mistake when I booked my ticket and contacted the customer service. The reply was immediate and they helped me change my ticket.
Great service !

Lors de ma réservation , j ai fait une erreur d' inattention ,j ai inversé départ et arrivée.
Donc j ai envoyé un mail pour expliquer ma situation.
Réponse aussitôt en expliquant qu'ils allaient faire le nécessaire via la plate-forme et dix minutes après les nouveaux billets modifiés étaient disponible dans ma boîte mail.
Service très compétent, personnes sérieuses et très rapides.
Merci beaucoup

My experience with Rail monster care.
I most admit that there email exchange is beyond service providers it is built with empathy for customers first before other things. I fell in love with it, the moment I knew it wasn't a no reply email. I lodged in my complain when they sent an email to remind me of my travel plan in less than 48 hours. I responded by saying I needed a change in date and I want it in 24 hours. They immediately responded by telling me to go change on the app and they guided on how to go about that. After finding out that the HHR App wasn't responding, I quickly send in another email explaining why I needed to be on tomorrow's train and pleading with them to assist with the service because if I am not considered > I might miss my flight too. And boom the response was my train ticket and prayers for journey mercy. Seriously I am thrilled with this top notch service. Allah bless the team.

Timely communication and excellent support

I had an extremely stressful situation with a Shinkansen ticket booked on the wrong route, just minutes before departure. I honestly thought there was no way it could be fixed.
Joe Davis went above and beyond to help me. Despite the very short notice and strict ticket rules, he immediately escalated my case, contacted the local Japanese agent, and managed to arrange a one-time exception. Thanks to him, my ticket was changed with no extra cost and no penalty, and I made it onto the train just in time.
Joe was professional, kind, reassuring, and incredibly efficient under pressure. His help genuinely saved my trip, and I am so grateful for his dedication and effort.
Huge thank you to Joe Davis, this level of customer service is rare and unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend Rail Monsters more because of him.

My flight was delayed, and therefore I was going to miss my train. I wrote to RAIL MONSTERS and even though it was a complex date they managed to change my ticket without hesitation to a new one.
THank you so very much.

Thank you Joe Davis he helps and return very quickly. Rail Monstar good choice i believe

I can only recommend ! The staff is so helpful! Joe was not only very nice but she was very quick and reserved the seats , that i didn't do when I bought the tickets. With two mails me problem was sold.
Thank you again Joe 💓

Muchísimo mas caro que la plataforma del mismo servicio del país en el que te encuentres. En mi caso en China una diferencia REAL de un 300% en cada billete.

I was charged €83.68 for a train ticket in Morocco that costs roughly half that price when booked directly through the Moroccan national railway (ONCF).

There was no clear justification for this markup during the booking process. The service provided by Railmonsters did not add any visible value compared to booking directly, yet the price difference was substantial.

I understand that intermediaries charge fees, but a premium of this magnitude—without transparency—feels misleading and unfair. I would strongly recommend that travelers compare prices with the national railway company before booking, as using Railmonsters can result in paying significantly more for the exact same journey.

Disappointing experience, mainly due to lack of price transparency.
