- Suki· February 19th, 2025Bamba is a terrible,terrible agency. They do not communicate well, lie about everything. Every place they booked me in had a problem. They had virtual check-in in one place- when I dont know anything about tech. They didnt tell me until AFTER I PAID-non refundable I was on a tour on my own. The first night I couldnt sleep at all-crummy place LOUD DISCO ALL NIGHT. Third night virtual check in- almost didnt get in my own hotel or room. All they promised was a line. The third place I stayed in they made me play a huge deposit- it was also noisy at night. Wouldnt let you take towels out. Wanted to charge me for an extra cup of hot water. They said there were five breakfasts and gave me none. They booked a tour and it was cancelled. DO NOT BOOK WITH BAMBA IN MEXICO. You will be sorryShow moreTrip date: February 2025

- Rebecca· March 31st, 2018I hate to say that you get what you pay for, but... no one picked me up at the airport, so I waited for almost 2 hours. When I called the “emergency number”, I was told they had no record of my reservation with the trip- even though I was holding my confirmation papers. Was told to look up some other number, even though I informed the guy that I didn’t have data as there was as no wifi at the airport. Eventually a security guard got me to my hostel. Going to Chitzen itza- the bus was supposed to arrive at 5:15am but showed up instead at 6:30. Glad I woke up early. Phoned all the emergency numbers, as I assumed my reservation was messed up again- no answer. Sent an email to the “urgent” email address, and received a reply that the office doesn’t open until 9am. Useful. They had asked if there were any special diet restrictions for the boxed lunch- I said I was vegan, but could handle a vegetarian meal. Was given a ham and cheese sandwich. Points for trying? When I arrived at the hostel in Playa del Carmen, I was informed that they hadn’t paid for my reservation. When I tried to call the number, it was out of service. Goodbye to $285 Mex pesos. Overall, it was nice to have someone else plan the schedule and accommodations. But the above issues were frustrating, and it felt like I was just waiting for the next mess up.Show moreBamba Travel commented on this reviewHi Rebecca I want to extend our sincerest apologies for the experience that you had.

- NKnicholas· March 17th, 2018Transport in Cancun for Chichenitza - driver was late 20-25mins Then were held up another 15mins as driver collecting other passangers had a problem with the couple on board as there was some mixup. >Following that we had to make an extra pit stop and waited extra 15mins for another customer that had to drop off his bag We made up for the time once transported onto a larger bus. Marco the Amigos Tour guide was good. Spoke well and gave good speeches The following day I travelled to Tulum for my 3rd day. However upon arrivng at Hostal Nativos, they did not have my reservation. With no phone or computer, I walked to computer cafe to email Bamba. They told me, it was sorted and everything paid. Once returned, they confirmed my reservation, however charged 370peso for 2 nights stay.As the reseptionist girl had confirmed the Hostal does not recieve payment.. Strange. Anyhow I paid, as i was tired and need to shower and check in. I was not given the bus ticket in advance Leaving Playa del Carmen - Cancun, So I had to pay myself 40peso. Which isnt a big deal. But still. I hope you take the time to read this and make sure it doesnt happen to other travellers looking for a good. Thank you!!Show moreBamba Travel commented on this reviewDear Nicholas, First of all, we would like to thank you for taking your time to write us a feedback, this helps us a lot to improve our service and to pursue our main goal which is to help travellers to be happy.

- ABAlisha· December 26th, 2017The guided tour to Chichen Itza was very good. Our accomodations got a bit messed up on 2 of the three hostels. We reserved private rooms at all the hostels and only one hostel had a private room for us. Bamba eventually cleared up the problem and provided me with a refund.Show moreBamba Travel commented on this reviewHi Alisha!
