If you’re a tourist don’t bother

We are from the US, ordered because we were exhausted and didn’t want to walk to a restaurant. The status remained “preparing order” for two hours. Driver when texted typed to call within the app, which didn’t work. Even tried calling on our cell phone but call kept failing. Cancel order button disabled so we couldn’t cancel the order.
We enjoyed using Bolt for travel services but DO NOT USE the food service if you’re not living in Poland

App developers: Don’t bother replying-our money got wasted. Spend the time actually fixing the issues to deliver food promptly and accurately

Hi, being left waiting for two hours with no working way to reach the courier or cancel the order is a frustrating end to an already tiring day, and we’re sorry for the hassle and wasted money. Please contact us via in-app support (☰ Account > Support) so we can review the order and the cancellation issue with you. We hope your next order is a better experience.

Freez!! Cravings!

AI support bot will scam you

First time leaving a review. I wish I could leave 0 stars. Ordered two burgers with one drink each, but only received one drink. Went to support, and the bot offered me a partial refund for the drink.

I accepted, but the noticed the offer was for about 1/3 of the missing drink, not the whole drink. Said this in chat, but the bot refused to talk about it further, as a “refund had already been issued”.

Spent about 30 minutes saying I want to talk to a human, but the bot kept going in circles. I don’t think they even use humans for support.

Terrible experience.

1 Star — Terrible Customer Service. Never Again.

I ordered pizza and a Fanta through Bolt Food, waited nearly an hour, and received only the pizza. The courier confirmed that Domino’s had not given him the drink.

When I contacted Bolt Support, instead of resolving the issue, they repeatedly offered to refund only the missing drink.

Here’s the ridiculous part: I already paid a delivery fee for my complete order. If I want the missing drink, I now have to place another order and pay a second delivery fee to receive something I already paid to have delivered.

Support actually confirmed this was their policy, showed no willingness to offer a reasonable solution, and kept repeating the same scripted refund response.

I wasn’t asking for free food or special treatment. I simply expected to receive what I paid for without being charged twice for delivery.

I’ve used Bolt regularly without complaints, but this experience showed me how poorly they handle even the simplest customer service problems.

Refunding a missing item is the bare minimum, not a satisfactory resolution.

I’ll be switching to Wolt. If Bolt can’t take responsibility for an incomplete order, they shouldn’t expect customers to keep trusting their service.

We’re glad we can help with your incomplete order, and that the support replies didn’t give you a resolution that felt fair, especially after you already paid delivery for the full order. For missing items, please report the affected order through in-app Support (☰ Menu > Support) so the team can investigate using your order details. We hope your next delivery goes much better.

App sucks

This app sucks. They always have the drivers doing six deliveries at a time so your food always gets there later than they say and cold.

Customer service 0/10

Won’t/dont use again

Terrible service terrible drivers

Our driver was two hours late to deliver even though the app said food was ready 10 mins after ordering, the estimated delivery time kept going up as he was clearly out running other orders. Then suddenly the app said “delivered” but the food had never arrived. We called the driver and he swore and cussed us out for wasting HIS time can you believe it. I got a refund but it’s now 11:30pm all the restaurants are closed and I haven’t eaten dinner. Terrible service.

Bad customer experience

I’ve had a very bad experience three times now while ordering food. The order never arrives, and after waiting for nearly two hours, it eventually gets cancelled.

The AI customer service is extremely frustrating and never provides a suitable solution. Even when the money is eventually refunded, you’ve already lost two hours of your time and, most importantly, you’re still left hungry.

This is really disappointing and needs to be addressed.

Macdonalds food delivery

Took over 45 mins and coke was spilled all over and driver was rude

Misleading refund process

Got auto-charged for the subscription after the free trial. Contacted support for a refund since none of the benefits had been used. The refund was issued promptly “to the original payment method,” with waiting time of up to two weeks and the agent immediately closed the case.

Later, I found the money sitting in my Bolt Balance, with no ability to transfer it back to my bank account. Dissatisfied.

Response from developer

Being auto-charged after the free trial and then seeing the refund land in Bolt Balance instead of your bank is not what we want for you. We are looking into what happened and how refunds should be handled. If you can, tell us what you see on the screen when the Bolt Balance refund appears. We will keep working to make this right!

They are uncooperative

So I ordered food ya and items were missing so I went to support ya they said we can’t do anything go leave a rating we don’t care and we won’t give you any refund or a reorder, that’s just nice isn’t it.

Response from developer

Hello, we acknowledge that your order arrived with missing items and that your support request felt unhelpful, especially when you were expecting a fix. For missing or incorrect items, the next step is to report the affected order from inside the app so our team can review it using your order details. We hope your next delivery goes better!

Frustrating experience

Very frustrating experience. I accidentally ordered the wrong item, but there was no option to cancel the order or even send a message to the restaurant. I tried calling the restaurant, but the staff couldn't understand English, so there was no practical way to communicate with them. Even after the order was completed, the feedback system only allowed me to give a star rating, with no option to leave a written comment. Bolt Food really needs better cancellation, messaging, and feedback features.

Thank you for flagging the cancellation, messaging, and feedback options you ran into, it helps us understand where the experience can be improved!

Very Poor Service

I was in another country - hadn’t eaten all day after traveling - ordered from a restaurant and did not receive the dessert I paid extra for (I was hungry!). I contacted support about this immediately, obviously asking for a refund at least on the dessert, and they told me no. They said I should have opened the bag outside - 10 PM on a very windy night - before the driver left to make sure everything was there. Upon me explaining that I opened it as soon as I got back inside, they did not care. Terrible experience as someone using the app for the first time, will not be using again.

Edit: they’ve said they’re looking into my specific order, but I’ve received no communication whatsoever.

Response from developer

We didn’t receive the dessert you paid extra for, especially when you were relying on the order after travel at a difficult time of night. Missing items, followed by being told the refund request was not eligible, can feel like a poor first experience. We are looking into what happened with that order so our team can help with the missing item. We will make sure this gets the attention it needs!

I really don’t like giving bad reviews but I felt I had to here as companies shouldn’t be allowed to operate like this. Bolt is happy to take your money and route orders to restaurants, but if something goes wrong you can be sure you will get no help to fix things. First because their AI bot is useless and it’s absolutely impossible to talk to a human (which sadly seems to be the norm across all companies these days) but then when you do manage to get through to someone they said they can’t do anything about an order that has gone wrong and that you should contact the restaurant yourself?! Absolutely appalling response. Bolt team, I strongly urge you to check what best in class apps in this space do on this front (e.g. Deliveroo) as this is unacceptable.

Response from developer

We’re really sorry your order issue turned into a hard time getting real help, especially when support suggested you contact the restaurant directly instead of sorting it with you. Please contact us via in-app support (☰ Account > Support) and include your order details so our team can review what went wrong and guide you from there. Thank you for taking the time to flag this.

Отвратительный сервис

Что это за доставка, в которой нет курьеров!!!
Конкретно в Батуми не рекомендую пользоваться!!!
Ждал 1,5 часа когда освободиться хотя бы один курьер, так и не дождался!!!
Не рекомендую пользоваться!

Awful service

Ordered for the first time. 1st driver cancelled after 40 minutes. 2nd driver cancelled after another 20. I reached out to support, and they assigned another driver, who would be there in 30 minutes. When I pointed out that my food had already been finished and ready to collect for half an hour, and would have been sat there for an hour by the time the new driver got to the restaurant, they closed the support chat on me. Sure enough, food was stone cold and inedible. Avoid at all costs.

Promo codes

Absolutely ridiculous promo policy. Bolt Food gives you a 30% discount code, but blocks it if the restaurant has ANY discount—even if that discount comes from the restaurant, not Bolt.

So what’s the point of giving a “30% OFF” code if you can barely use it? This feels misleading and unnecessarily restrictive. Fix this ridiculous policy.
