InterNations Reviews 1,125

I created an account and was directed to join the Albatross membership of either: 3, 6 or 12 months.
There was no option for me to use the free basic membership to see how the concept worked. I was unable to create a profile yet. I received an email confirmation and I clicked the link to verify and it lead it straight into the membership options. Not a fan of this website. Quite on the sneaky scam tactic if you ask me.

No oversite on these groups or who creates these groups. People in groups can write anything on group chat about anyone and is allowed by InterNations. Even in groups that this person never interacted with. When reported the admins can't be bother to look into any issues and let these posters run wild.

THE responses to the negative comments are more telling than the comments themselves.

Cancelled my Membership before Expiry Period
Spoken badly by those Hosting Events on part of Internations
Cheat

I appreciated getting my issue resolved promptly. The support team responded promptly and was able to successfully resolve my issue.

To improve, InternNation could focus on refining its matching algorithms for better internship fits, enhancing user engagement through a more intuitive interface, and expanding its network of partnering companies.

InternNation is likely doing well if it has a sizable and diverse pool of internship opportunities, maintains positive user feedback regarding its services, and demonstrates adaptability by incorporating innovative features or addressing user concerns promptly.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the incredible support of the Internations team firsthand when I encountered a problem recently. I reached out to them for assistance, and I was blown away by their helpfulness and dedication.

From the moment I contacted the team, I could sense their genuine enthusiasm to help me. They listened attentively to my concerns and wasted no time in finding a solution. Their professionalism and efficiency were truly impressive.

What truly stood out to me was the personalized attention I received throughout the entire process. The team went above and beyond to ensure that my problem was resolved to my satisfaction. They were patient, understanding, and made me feel valued as a member of the Internations community.

I am immensely grateful for the support I received from the Internations team. Their quick and effective response not only solved my problem but also left me feeling reassured and supported. It is experiences like these that make me proud to be a part of the Internations community.

Thank you, Internations team, for your exceptional assistance and for going above and beyond to help me. Your dedication and commitment truly made a difference, and I am thankful for the outstanding service you provided.

Warm regards,

Having finally got an email saying my account had been deleted and I had (as also requested) been 'forgotten', a day later I get an email asking to review the service received!
Deleted, forgotten and then another email asking me to review their service. Beggars belief!!!

their concept of making easy to meet and interact with fellow expats

InterNations is a great community that brings together expats from all over the world with different backgrounds and cultures. I have met here, online and in person, many fabulous people and made wonderful friendships. We share our perspectives, learn from each other and laugh. I would recommend InterNations to anyone (ever) living abroad. I’m genuinely grateful for InterNations.

It was the prompt response by the person concerned Abhishek to resolve the issue.

Very helpful and professional customer service.

I warmly thank the staff especially for quickly solving my problem.
In my case, I felt privacy protection, ensurance of respect as person and consul of a wonderful group.

As a Basic, you have to give an email address to join the Community.

As an Albatross, any sales terms written on their site. The Community Support give a rate per country and per person. Bad pricing and no knowledge in marketing and sales.

As a Consul, you have to be without any experience organizing activities, like that the Community support can manage your actions. if you go more than that, the Community Support limite your passions to avoid give less importance to the old Ambassadors who never update their events, never share passions with other people (againts InterNations Motto) and think only in their own profit, because normally these people who hosts events, do not have a real work or they are searching for a job out of this platform.

As an Ambassador, if you do well the Community Support do not like and if it is too perfect you are fired (paradox) . The Community Support prefer to manage you all the time to avoid being better than them. Many complaints from members about the bad pricing on the site, that I had to decline to them because I was only volunteer.

I organized a lot of activities and events for passion out my real job. But I feel upset that my passion and my free time were used to give money to the Head Office based in Munich that use Consuls and Ambassadors as a volunteer to earn money. But the worst, with Christoph Markert who does not know anything in France and his leadership is a little poor... Hope that the staff will be soon like before !

I completely forgot to cancel my free trial and the same day I contacted them to please cancel my 12 months renewal since I am in a bad state economically.
They showed no empathy and understanding and kept insisting that it was my fault, which it is, but I was asking to see if they could do an expection. But impossible. Poor cusomer service.

Very fast resolution! Ian was very prompt in assisting me with my concerns. Great experience

Malhonnête, trompeur, arnaqueur, a éviter a tout prix !

Dishonest and deceitful company who provide very bad service and charge extortionate and dissimulated fees.

Avoid at all costs !

Karen was exceptionally pleasant to work with these past few weeks. I admire how she expertly explained my balance-owed situation and addressed my concerns incredibly politely. Please give her a High-5 for me!

there was an unfair complaint made to my account and a file for closing my account.

I contacted the INTERNATIONALS support team and they responded to me quickly, asked for time to solve the problem, and finally solved my problem.

I can log in to my account again.

Thank you to Roxana from the Internationals team 🙏

The customer support was very responsive and the people were very friendly. Thanks a lot!
