EatWith - Reviews and experiences

The dinner event I booked got cancelled by the host, but then EatWith went ahead and charged me twice for it! I tried emailing them a bunch of times, but never heard back from them. They keep saying they're insured, but I wasn't even able to make a claim for that extra charge they snuck in. Total scam, that EatWith!

So, I tried this EatWith thing for the first time, eh? I booked a host and they cancelled on me real quick - which is a bummer, but oh well, right? But then EatWith went and took my money from my card and said they'd give it back in, like, 10 whole days! Not cool, man. So I was like, okay, let me try again and booked another host. AND THAT ONE CANCELLED TOO! EatWith took my money AGAIN and said wait another 10 days. Like, seriously? They can't just take people's money like that and hold onto it for so long! Feels a bit sketchy, you know? So, be careful when booking with them, folks.

I was so excited to do this Milan pizza and gelato cooking class on EatWith. But, right before I was gonna head out, I got an email saying the class was cancelled, no reason given. I was so let down and annoyed by this sudden change of plans. I was really looking forward to learning how to make real Milanese pizza and gelato. The way they handled it was not cool at all, so unprofessional. It really left a bad impression on me. I thought EatWith was better than that. Now I'm gonna think twice before booking with them again.

I used to really enjoy hosting on this platform, but things have gone sour lately. I worked hard to promote the site at the beginning, but it felt like nobody noticed. The communication with the staff wasn't great and my dinners just weren't selling like they used to. And after COVID hit, it's like they disappeared off the face of the earth. Having to constantly redo photos and join Viator was just a huge hassle and time suck. All in all, it was a big waste of time and way too stressful for me.
