User Reviews

User reviews for Kosyno checkpoint reveal mixed experiences with generally positive sentiment, particularly for reverse-direction crossings from Hungary to Ukraine. Wait times vary significantly based on time of day and traffic conditions. Morning crossings (around 7:50 AM) experienced approximately 4-hour estimated waits reducing to 2.5 hours actual time, while afternoon crossings (3:45 PM) took around 2 hours with minimal traffic. However, one user reported severe delays of 2+ hours at Ukrainian border followed by 40+ minutes on Hungarian side during midday crossing at 2:15 PM with only 20 vehicles present, indicating inconsistent processing speeds. A critical operational pattern emerges: crossings should be completed by 6:30 PM, as Hungarian authorities reportedly restrict entry after this time. Return crossings from Hungary during midday showed excellent efficiency with wait times under 20 minutes when traffic is light. Users noted that border officials are professional and allow pets with proper documentation (passports, vaccinations, microchips) without complications. The checkpoint operates with significant variability in processing times, and strategic timing appears crucial for minimizing delays, with late afternoon departures from Ukraine and midday returns from Hungary appearing optimal.
