Subscription bug from Insta

Made an error with subscription as already had an account that I forgot about - I paid but because my phone number was already in use I couldn't go further and now I don't have access to the new account -and I can't cancel the subscription either - and it is extremely difficult to get someone to answer from zen desk as it has been quite a few days now. -

For my first diner with Timeleft I met great people we had a very nice diner and we plan to meet again.
I really had a good time and I believe the 5 other persons had a good time too.
Just a little regret we were 5 women and just one man. But it worked well though

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Curiosity and a Sense of Adventure is Key

My rating of 5 is about the uniqueness and creativity of this concept, how they have set it up, and the seamless execution. This is a fascinating and well-done concept which I will strongly recommend to anyone seeking opportunities for friendship and socializing.
If you enjoy meeting new people, deepening connections made, and maybe need a push out the door, Timeleft is a fun way to do it.

The negative ratings I've seen are all about the people and specific setting for that night. Those are outside Timeleft's control so it's unfair and, honestly, missing the point. We are meeting semi-random people based on a few questions, so it's going to be a bit of an adventure. If you don't have a good time, ask yourself how much may have been your expectations versus anything in Timeleft's actual operation.

Curiosity, openmindedness, and a joy in meeting people who may not see the world the way you do are essential components to Timeleft's model.

Embrace that and you will have a good time!

As someone who tends to alternate between being invisible and dominating the conversion, Timeleft has been a good way to socially adjust to group situations, particularly post-pandemic.

Made a friend!

I’ve only been to one dinner so far, but I already made a friend and we’ve hung out a handful of times since the dinner! The restaurant was nice and centrally located. My group was friendly and the time passed fairly quickly.

Hey! Thank you so much for this :) We're thrilled to hear you enjoy the surprise effect and restaurant choices! However, it seems the experience with some attendees wasn't ideal, and we get it. We're actively working on ways to minimize no-shows to prevent situations like this in the future. We hope we can host you again sometime soon!! 🧡

It was an amazing experience

It was an amazing experience. We met at a restaurant. Timeleft provided some ice breaker cards with questions but we actually didn’t needed them because the conversation kept flowing. I am still in contact with one of the people I met:

You get out what you put in!

I’ve been to three dinner and each has been very enjoyable. I don’t think that I would have found these restaurants on my own and I will go back so that’s very positive! I’ve met some interesting people and had very nice conversations. I’ve even made a couple of new friends!

Something different, I like!

I enjoyed the dinner location chosen and I love that there is an option for "last drink", to continue the conversation elsewhere, and meeting other locals. The timeleft app reveals details about your outing slowly leading up to the evening, which I enjoy. It's exciting, and leaves you with something to look forward to. Dinner with strangers can be nice. My dinner 3/5 already knew each other. If I could change anything I'd make it 6. That way during conversations one person isn't left out, and I'd also make it more random for strangers, so that everyone can experience a new face. Overall, it's a great idea! 5 stars

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Interesting but...

I had my first experience and even if I did not enjoy it (one of the guest was way to talkative and the group slightly too old for me), I will try it a second time.

It's nice to meet totally different people in a restaurant you discover.

Still, timeleft has some issues :
When you choose the less expensive restaurants (you have 3 options: $, $$, $$$. Which is very approximative), you can have a big surprise with the prices (in my case, the menu was 38€).

The age mix is not always fair.

The game isn't very interesting.

It can feel very long if you don't match with the guests, especially if you sit close to them.

The worst part is the feedback timeleft invites you to fill at the end of the meeting : you have to give a note to each person and it's terrible when a website pushes you to do such a thing when you are supposed to have a good time. Everyone is potentially thinking of the note he will give you once alone.

Thanks for sharing such a balanced and honest review 🧡 We’re glad you’re giving it a second try, sometimes it really clicks on the next one. And your points are super valuable, we know “$, $$, $$$” can feel too vague, and we’re working on making expectations clearer.. We’re also always improving the algorithm so the group feels more aligned, and we totally understand how rating people can feel awkward, but just to give you peace of mind, it's only asked so we can base these answers and match you with more aligned new dinner mates!
Thank you again. Thoughtful feedback like this helps us improve the experience for everyone ✨

I did my first TimeLeft dinner on May 2024. I met an incredible group of people who are now my best friends for about one year and half. 🫶🏼

Great experience (but read review please TL people..)

I’ve attended 50+ TL dinners in 2 countries and whilst some dinners have been better than others (due to group or location), I love the concept and having standing dinner plans each week exploring different restaurants in my city. Have made some amazing forever friends from the experience too!

I’m a little disappointed however that there is no referral or loyalty program in place. I’ve put a lot of people onto TimeLeft and clearly been a regular attendee but I just opened the app to book next weeks dinner and my 6 month subscription has run out. No problem.. go to renew my subscription and it has gone up by 21%. Obviously not a huge amount but it’s not sitting right with me unfortunately and I’ll be taking a break for now. Hopefully TL put some thought into some type of rewards program/recognition.

You promised 6 people for 6 weeks

You promised 6 people for 6 weeks. First week had 5 which was alright, second week three. Not at all acceptable. I have repeatedly asked for my money back but no one responds. They make it impossible for you to get your money back and they don't care what your experience is at all

Thanks for sharing this 🧡 We understand how disappointing it feels when the table isn’t full. Sometimes people don’t show up without warning, and that’s beyond our control and depends on the community respecting the terms. A table of 5 is still considered a valid dinner, but when more than 2 people don’t show up we treat it as a "no-show table", and handle it accordingly.
Please reach out again with the date and location of the dinner so we can review your case properly, we do respond, but we need those details to help you. Your experience matters to us ✨
