It was a good experience to book…
It was a good experience to book tickets for train+bicycles (Nl-D) through Happyrail. Once you understand how it works it is very easy!
Just be aware when booking bicycles that you add the right number (in my case 2), as you also can book f.e. 2 tickets and 1 bicycle.
Convenient and easy to access
Convenient and easy to access. I had been struggling to book my itinerary through Eurail and Happyrail was a last minute savior in a family trip. Such a relief this service came through without delays or tech issues.
Easy searching and easy booking
Easy searching and easy booking. Clear overview of all the options with or without transfer and same voyage offered by different companies at different rates.
Booking, paying and receiving tickets was easy and fast!
Interrail reservations
One of the few sites that allows you to make the obligatory reservations for some Interrail journeys (e.g. Frecciarossa in Italy). Select this option by clicking on the 'tickets' button, and select 'reservation' from the options
The booking process for Switzerland was difficult
The booking process for Switzerland was somewhat difficult with the Happy Rail site, which, at times, would override what I was attempting to book with old data. My needs were simple, 2 saver day passes and a number of seat reservations. I spent between 3 and 4 hours to complete all the bookings because the information would keep on changing. The solution that finally worked for me was to delete all the Happy Rail cookies, so that the system couldn't erroneously reuse old cached data.
Even better as booking a flight!
Easy Booking process
It was easy to select destination, hotel and train. In every step you choose you can see the actual price. Booking process was smooth.
Booking was very easy and tickets…
Booking was very easy and tickets directly available in the mailbox.
Treinreiswinkel is doing a great job.
Treinreiswinkel is doing a great job! There is so much need for a trustworthy platform for train travel, in Europe it’s very fragmented concerning the many countries with their own booking system. Treinreis winkel is unite them all to a very convenient system for all your traintravel. It’s much easier to book your tickets, for example from Kiruna to Athens. It is all possible with much lesser stress than booking separate by the train companies in all the different countries. When having questions you have a easy point of contact instead of many.
Easy and clean booking
Easy and clean booking, only wish the system would remember the personal data put in when clicking out of the personal data window to change something.
Best place to book train tickets
Best place to book train tickets, Interrail passes and the corresponding reservations. The layout of the overview under "My account" can be improved though - the rounded boxes should also include the green "download" and the "cancel" buttons, to make clear to which ticket they belong. But that's the only reason not to give 5 stars.
extra cost for using mastercard or visa
The experience was more or less straight forward, but to only in the end find out there's a 2,5% fee (there is already a fee for using them and not booking it directly at the railway company) for using mastercard or visa which makes it more expensive than other platforms. Still it's the only platform I could find where I was able to book a reservation for the train I needed, so that's where the 1 star are coming from
Also they asked me to write this review to enter a giveaway which is already over! Not cool and also against the rules of Trustpilot.
Easy way of planning(100%) and…
Easy way of planning(100%) and booking(most) of an international train-trip.
The app (HappyRail) and the browser (treinreiswinkel.nl) are synced for the data and therefore easy for using on more than one device.
If purchasing certain tickets are out of reach there is a link to the local provider to book.
So far a good central point to start your trip abroad.

At first I had difficulties finding the right train. When I booked, I was pleased. But I want an 'Anytime Single' for the return ticket and I don't know how to book it. The AI wasn't helpful.
