Worst company, no support available, not replying on emails.

I have bad experience from akbarbtravels for refund issue.last two weeks no response via telephone and through email.

I had a very disappointing experience with this travel agency. Despite sending multiple emails to inform them that my flight had been officially cancelled by Gulf Air, I received no response or update regarding my booking.

I also attempted to contact their hotline numerous times, but after waiting for around 20 minutes, the calls were repeatedly disconnected.

However, when I made an inquiry about booking a hotel, I received a follow-up call within minutes. This inconsistency in customer service is extremely frustrating and unacceptable.

Terrible service - the calls get disconnected automatically after long waits, and emails regarding refunds are ignored. Very bad customer support."

It’s has been 10 days now from the day which I requested refund.contacted the airline they are telling it’s refunded and check with travel agent.once call the akbar travels the agent telling it will take 15 more working days to get the refund.very very worst booking agents which I have been selected.
No proper support and no proper response.very hectic.

They are a bunch of scammers running this online scam.
I have been waiting for my refund for over a month and a half and still no proper response from them, nor is there any confirmation on refund.

Do not trust this company as they operate fraudulently.

Dissatisfied, charged heavy, increased amount on spot.
Poorest service
No integrity

I had a very disappointing experience with Akbar Travels. I booked my ticket through their app and the full amount was successfully debited from my card. However, after almost 30 minutes, I received a call from a staff member named Yasir Mehdi stating that I needed to pay an additional amount for the ticket to be confirmed.
This was completely unacceptable. If the fare was not confirmed, the system should not have allowed the payment to go through in the first place. Moreover, the staff member spoke in a very rude and unprofessional manner. Instead of explaining the issue politely, he simply said I could either pay extra or they would refund the amount.
This is not how customers should be treated. Very poor communication, lack of transparency, and extremely bad customer service. I would not recommend booking through them based on this experience.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Yeh paighaam un sab logon ke liye hai jo Hajj ya Umrah ka safar plan kar rahe hain.

Hamara experience Akbar Company ke saath bohot hi bura raha. Hamne apne Haji sahab ko unke zariye bheja, lekin jo waade kiye gaye the, unmein se kai poore nahi kiye gaye.

Sabse pehle hotel ka masla — kaha gaya tha ke hotel Haram ke bahut nazdeek hoga. Lekin ground par hotel kaafi door nikla, jiski wajah se buzurg Hajiyon ko rozana aane-jaane mein bohot takleef hui.

Khana aur laundry ki facilities bhi bohot kharab rahi. Hajiyon ko basic sahuliyat ke liye bhi pareshani uthani padi. Aur sabse afsos ki baat yeh thi ke wahan unka koi proper rehnuma ya zimmedar shakhs maujood nahi tha jo unki baat sunta.

Hamein yeh bhi mehsoos hua ke company ke log har Haji ke saath alag rawayya ikhtiyar karte hain — sab ke saath barabari aur insaf ka sulook nahi kiya gaya.

Hajj aur Umrah sirf safar nahi, balki zindagi ki sabse aham ibadat hai. Agar intizaam kamzor ho, to ibadat mein bhi rukawat paida hoti hai.

Is liye guzarish hai ke agar aap ya aap ke jaan-pehchan wale Hajj ya Umrah ka irada kar rahe hain, to company ka intekhab bohot soch samajh kar karein. Sirf waadon par bharosa na karein — likhit details aur ground arrangements zaroor check karein.

Allah Ta’ala sab ko asaan aur maqbool safar naseeb farmaaye. Ameen.

Worst customer care, Worst experince

This company is a scam. I paid them for a Singapore visa service. After receiving my payment, they stopped responding to my messages and emails and did not continue the visa process. I asked for a refund multiple times, but they completely ignored me. I lost my money and received no service. Please be careful and do not use this company.

If you are a woman traveller, just DO NOT go to Akbar Travels for anything.

I had the most horrible experience with them just in January 2026... Went to one of their branches in Kerala for my Singapore visa. It was a girls trip we are taking and my friends applied their visa from Bangalore. I had written a detailed cover letter, stating everything including who's travelling with me, their passport details, where we are taking our flight from, my occupation, my savings and all that.

Despite giving all the documents, the Visa officer told me I'll not get visa because i'm a single woman traveller. When I said I'm married, he started asking questions like why my husband isn't coming on this trip, and why he hasn't given me an NOC and all that.

Mind you, I'm working, i'm not dependent on my partner for financial needs, and I have a good paying job. The Singapore embassy states we need NOC from husband only in cases where the wife is dependent financially on the husband.

This was not the case for me. I submitted the documents on 6th January, and this officer said he sent my documents to Chennai office that day itself. And 8 days later, on 14th January, when I called him to ask for an update, he says that the Chennai Akbar travels office has denied my application because I'm a single lady traveling. he waited 8 days to tell me this. The rejection didn't come from the consulate, but from their office.

He then delayed giving back my passport despite me telling that I need to give this to another agency.

The male ego and primitive thinking at Akbar Travels was nothing short of a shock for me. NEVER EVER OPT for them, if you are a woman travelling abroad.

I recently traveled for Umrah with my family, including senior citizens and children, hoping for a spiritual and peaceful journey. Unfortunately, our experience with Akbar Travels was mentally and physically draining. There was no manager or senior staff to take responsibility or solve any of our issues.

​1. Terrible Logistics & Flights:
The journey started badly with a chaotic 6-hour waiting period. We were asked to made in masjid with kids and elderly. This schedule was exhausting and completely unsuitable for the elderly and young children.

​2. Zero Hygiene & Maintenance:
The most disappointing part was the accommodation. There was absolutely no cleaning of the rooms or bathrooms for days in both Makkah and Madinah. Cleanliness is a basic requirement for prayer (Salah). How are we expected to pray and maintain spirituality when the living conditions are filthy?

​3. Poor Food & Rude Staff:
The food service was unreliable, the quality of food was not good. The staff was rude with no proper service. Breakfast and dinner were not up to the mark. When we simply requested eggs for the children, the staff was incredibly rude.

​4. Abandoned during Checkout:
In Madinah, we were forced to check out at 2:30 PM, even though our bus was not scheduled until 8:00 PM. We were left stranded for hours with no response or assistance from the management.
5.There is a permit needed for Riyazul Jannah, which is usually provided by the agent. But in their case they suddenly said that the permit needs to be done from our end that too in the end moment. I had to apply it on my own and out of 5 members we only for permit for 3. 2 of us did not get a chance. This is so unprofessional that the customer who pays so much has to bear all these inconvenience and still doesn't get a chance to pray.

​This was the worst travel experience I have had. If you are traveling with family, especially seniors, please look elsewhere.

I experienced a real customer support when I was approaching for the refund which caused the airline cancelled the flight due to poor weather. Upon follup with AT customer service they supported to get me back the full refund amount, thanks to the AT team.

Akbar Travels has been extremely unhelpful. My son was kept waiting at the airport for an hour, and they made us wait without giving any proper assistance. Now they’re refusing to give a refund even though my son didn’t board the flight including the return ticket. This is really unacceptable.

THEY ARE SCAMMERS.
If you book a ticket from their website, they’ll happily take your payment and then, after a few minutes, send you an email saying the seats are full.
Then they tell you that you can choose another flight and pay the difference between the current fare and what you already paid.

But ironically, the same flight I originally booked is still available, just at 3x the price.

This is SCAMMING AT ITS PEAK. 🚨

Dear All,

I am writing this to seriously caution everyone against using Akbar Travels. My experience with them was not just disappointing, it was outright fraudulent. They cheated me out of my money in the most unprofessional and unethical way possible.

I booked a ticket with Akbar Travels and even paid extra for a "fully refundable" option. But when I had to cancel, they refused to refund even a single dirham. Instead, they hid behind ridiculous conditions that they never disclose before booking. Their so-called “refund” is a trap because the only scenarios they consider valid are completely unrealistic:

Sudden death

Airline-cancelled flight

Natural disaster at the arrival airport

Police case at the origin destination

Clearly, these are excuses designed to ensure nobody ever qualifies for a refund. This is nothing short of daylight robbery.

Till now, I have exchanged more than 30 emails and spoken to multiple customer service agents—all useless. No resolution, no accountability, and zero professionalism. It is very clear that Akbar Travels has built its business on misleading customers, hiding facts, and pocketing people’s money.

👉 I strongly urge everyone to stay away from Akbar Travels. Do not book anything through them, no matter how attractive the offer may seem. If you do, be prepared to lose your hard-earned money.

We need to stand together and expose these unethical practices so that others don’t fall into the same trap. Akbar Travels is not just unreliable—they are running a calculated scam.
