MakeMyTrip India Complaints & Reviews

I booked two bus tickets (C5,D5) on makemytrip.com for 16th Jan, 2011 from Bangalore to Hyderabad. However, when we reached the bus operator's office (Varsha Travels), at the designated time, we were told that our seats had been canceled. The reason was non-synchronization of seat booking at Varsha travel end and makemytrip.com end.

This caused a lot of mental agony and we had to pay a very price to another bus operator for the travel.

I was told that the money would be returned by makemytrip.com but they are refusing to return the money.

Please look into this issue

I booked a ticket for 2 persons from Tehran to Ahmedabad on 29-Dec-2010 for the travel date 30-Dec-2010 through ICICI netbanking. Due to fault in makemytrip website amount was deducted from my account but booking was not confirmed. I called call center and the agent said they can see the amount in the system but booking was not successful so do a fresh booking through credit card on phone and they'll call me back to confirm previous booking and I have to tell that this was the case and fresh booking was done and amount will be refunded to me within 2-3 days. I did same, did fresh booking for 31-Dec-2010 on same day(29-Dec-2010). I got e-ticket which shown failed booking as well as successful booking and I traveled back to India using same. However till date I haven't received any refund. I tried to contact various persons whom I came across during booking but none of them even bothered to reply or guide me in right direction. I called call center several times and every time people kept me on hold and then finally transfer somewhere else where I need to explain everything again. Or sometime call just drops. I am very dissatisfied with makemytrip service and customer support due to this. Call center people ask to send full bank statement which doesn't make any sense. Why would one share transactions with them?

Then I talked with a call center executive called Adhiraj and he suggested me to send email to [protected]@makemytrip.com with details. I sent transactions of several days to that email address. I got auto responder(as usual) saying I'll get response within 24 hours. As expected, no response in 48 hours. I called call center again and some other agent asked me to send full bank statement to [protected]@makemytrip.com. I asked him if you guys check emails at all as none of the emails I sent to makemytrip are answered. Its like sending emails to black hole.

I STRONGLY SUGGEST EVERYONE NOT TO USE THEIR SERVICE.

I couldn't get email address of CEO. Wish the owners/managers of the company read these complains and try to improve service.

My name is Pankaj Sharma..I made a transaction on makemytrip.com to book a ticket..It was for Rs.5692 and was made on June 5 2010.Although, the transaction was unsuccessful, they charged me for it(for Rs.5692)..Since then I've mailed them for about a hundred times now, but don't see any constructive reply from their side..I also have given them each and every detail(bank statements,etc.) that they have asked for but for no vain.I am really disappointed with the services of a firm as big as this and dont see myself doing any further business with them..

HI,

I had made a booking with make my trip for a British Airways flight from Bombay to Denver and return from New York to Bombay. The return flight which was scheduled on 17th Dec 10 was cancelled by British Airways due to the weather conditions in London. I was rebooked and even that flight got cancelled on the 19th Dec 10. So BA had given me an option to book my own flight as the originally booking was not done by their site or contact make my trip to rebook.

Make my Trip did not help me out in that and told me that I will have to repay for the new booking which was a higher amount as it was considered as a single flight. Finally I had to rebook myself on my own and according to the policy claim for the refund of my flight which was non operational. The total amount that I had paid Make my Trip was Rs 80000/- for return flight. So ideally I am suppose to get the 50% of refund of my amount as the flight was cancelled. Make my Trip initially sent me a mail saying that the amt that will be refunded to me would be Rs 6500/- post my arguement with them it suddenly came to Rs 26000/-

I spoke to BA to check with them about the refund details. I was not told the exact amount by them as it was mentioned to me that Travel Agents get some discounts on their booking however I was informed that I should still be getting close to 50% refund of the amount that I had not flown and that I should ask for detail breakup of the refund amount.

I have been trying to get in touch with Make my Trip since the time I have returned from US that was from 27th Dec 10. Till date there has been no concrete explanation on this. I have all the mails as a proof of the communication that I have had with them.

I would like you to help me get my money from them as I am stuck as I had to pay double for the return travel. One that I paid initially and the other that I had to pay to another airline to fly back. They are trying to cheat their customers like this and there is no explanation or follow-up on this inspite of me telling them that I will take this to the consumer court.

I require your help to sort this at the earliest.

Thanks,
Shraddha Iyer

Hi Indian Commissioner

I need to report a complaint against Make my trip they have deducted INR 35782 from my account in the transaction where in there was even no booking done and I got error message in 1 minute I called their customer care that transcation is been not done but as my bank gives me a immediate message on any deduction of money so I got the message that money is been deducted.

Below I am copying the mail done by their 2 customer care person and till now nothing happened, please ask them to pay the intrest amount also as I am a resident of Singapore and have got deduction in dollar so their will be diffence of the amount.

If these people have intention to pay they would have paid long back as I requested for refund on 24th Dec 2010:-

Dear Sir,
With reference to above reference no, I would like to highlight the matter, on 24th Dec we attempted online booking for flight + hotel but at the end of transaction insted of booking confirmation it was error massage, later we called make my trip and after mail confirmation by make my trip money has been deducted from the account without booking confirmation. Moreover from 24th Dec to 29th Dec money was showing in ledger balance so we
thought as per confirmation make my trip was not claim this amount but when today I checked make my trip has claimed that amount.
Now could you pl refund 100% amount now so I can get here by tomorrow secondly pl ensure exchange rate variation as I don't want any exchange rate difference in transaction.
I believe this is quite serious attempt by make my trip that after not booking how they claim money.
You call me now for any further clarification.
Regards

Issue: Harassment

Details:

Harassment started the day I booked tickets for two n fro travel from Delhi to Mumbai on 22/10/2010. One of the return tickets was wrongly cancelled by MakeMyTrip officials and I was not informed at all. Till last hours, the agency was not able to resolve the issue and I had to book ubder high charges and in different flight (that got delayed by 8 hours).

Follow-up's:

After 5-6 calls in 2 weeks, agency apologized and commintted to re-imburse all the dues. Since then I keep on talking to 15 officials atleast, always stating the issue from scratch and every call takes 20 mins atleast. I submitted all the documents many times but to no avail.

First I tried with executives, then started talking to their Leads (just dont want to specify the names) then finally with their bosses. But nobody is taking pain to reply a single email.

Every call ends up stating the money will be transferred with 48-72 hours, It has been 75 days till date.

My heart beat gets raised and feel very very uncomfortable every time I dial up the number[protected].

Pls let me know if I need to submit each n every detail of the communications (telecons, personal calls on mobiles, emails I marked after every communication).

I have complete history of all the communications happened with every official of the agency. I am holding a very senior and responsible position and very very busy in my personal life. I spent apprx 25 hours in communication for this very issue.

This is not at all a matter of money pending but a sheer harassment, my hands are shivering while typing this note.

And the harassment continues.........

My Booking ID with Make My Trip (FLT[protected] for a JetLite S2 9352 Flight from Patna to Kolkata on 14.04.2010 which eventually got cancelled. In spite of the cancelled flight the company(Make My Trip) deducted an amount of Rs. 950.00 from the refund. Whenever the company is contacted over this issue, the standard reply is " Your case will be settled within next 72 hours" , but the next 72 hours has not arrived. All are advised not to book tickets from this fraud company.

Please do needful.

Thank You,
Manish.

I had booked my ticket using makemytrip site on the 12th of Dec 2010. I had booked 2 tickets for my old parents for the 31st of Dec 2010 flying form Kochi to Mumbai. Due to some health reasons of my father i had to cancel the tickets, while cancelling the ticket the site has charged me Rs4500 per person where as the airline has informed me that the charge for cancellation is 50% of base fare which is Rs. 2000 per ticket.

I need to know why I have been charged so much more. Please help me get back my hard earned money from this site which has been fleecing people.

Hi,
I have booked flight ticket online on make my trip on 27th December 2010 @ 12PM
It mentioned that I would be sending E-Ticket in half and hour and I didn't receive it for 8 hours.


When I tried to use the print option from the site, I said invalid Phone and reference number combination.
I tried calling customer service and it is such a crap, it kept repeating the options though I selected a option.

My flight is on 28th December, Don't know how to proceed further.
Can some one please provide the pointers to go ahead ?

Hi,

I have recently booked my ticket from Pune to Bangalore and to my surprise the last minute the bus operator called up and stated they dont provide the van pick up to the point I stated to him I have the ticket confirming it they where not ready to listen same tried calling the make my trip customer support they straight away told operators has the right to change the point So please be advise not to book any tickets thru this site since they are cheats when I asked to refund the money they did not refund it.

I booked air ticket for Kolkatta-New Delhi for a journey on 14th November by Jet Konnect 9W-2278 through Mak my trip. I cancelled it on 11th November and there is a mail from Make my trip that refund amount of Rs2000 shall be credited to abk account. In spite of regular communication there is no sight of refund. They wanted my bank details for refund. As I was not eager to share the bank details, they informed me that unless I provide the same they will not refund. Thereafter I provided the bank details on 20th November 2010. Till date they have nt refunded the amount. They informed me that due to some technical problem, they will not be able to refund the money. Can you suggest how I can get my refund. Can I take it to Consumer forum or I had to take legal steps to get the refund. Any assistence and guidnace is highly appreciated.

This is with reference to my Booking ID IN1010B04698 for a tour of Rajasthan (Jaipur, Pushkar and Udaipur) from Mumbai. The duration of the tour was from 14th to 20th Nov. I was travelling along with my parents on this tour and on Nov 16th, I was supposed to check into hotel Pushkar Fort in Pushkar.

However, when I called the hotel to enquire about accessibility conditions in Pushkar owing to the ongoing mela, I was horrified to be told that there was no booking at all, although I had received a confirmation voucher from make my trip. On calling your customer care, I was told to proceed as the booking was confirmed. I spend more than 4 hours (of my vacation time) co-coordinating between the hotel staff and make my trip personal to sort out the issue but no solution could be found.

The next morning, when we set out to Pushkar, I received a call from make my trip accepting that the hotel booking had not been done. We were fortunate to be able to get a room a day in advance at Udaipur, which was to be our next destination. If I had not called Pushkar fort, I would have been stranded with my parents in Pushkar in the middle of the mela with no hotel bookings available anywhere.

This kind of in-efficiency is highly unacceptable. How could you have issued a voucher if there was no confirmation? Not only could we not visit Pushkar, but also had to shell out extra money to spend one additional day ant Udaipur in additional to the mental harassment and stress which is precisely what we are trying to escape during our holidays.

After this I was promised a refund of Rs. 3750 for the Pushkar hotel booking in a mail from amritamakemytrip.com dated Nov '16 but have still not received any payment. I demand that this amount be refunded to me along with an additional 2500Rs. which I had to shell out for the extended day of stay at Udaipur ( On Nov 16th) at Hotel Hill Lake.



A disappointed customer,
Santosh Nambiath

i was given booking confirmation of hotel in tirupati but i was shocked when i reached there that the booking makemytrip has done was cancelled this the perofrmance of this company i was stuck up there with 2 families just trusting this company which does nt bother about customers........

Hello Everyone,

Please note my worst experience with makemytrip.com as follows.
...
I have recently purchased a round trip air ticket (Mumbai – Kolkata) on 8th December 2010, Wednesday from makemytrip.com. Booking ID is NF[protected]. I have done the payment by my debit card.

Though I have filled up the booking form with correct required details, I received tickets with different name. Immediately I contacted makemytrip.com office. Their official person assured me the correction within 24 hours. Dejectedly even now after 5 days there is no response from them. Hence recently I contacted them once again and to my surprise this time another female executive told me that makemytrip.com is not responsible for this blunder. Although she acknowledged that the system is facing some technical issues but nothing can be done for this goof-up. Moreover I was really shocked when I she told me that now correction in name can be done at the cost of Rs. 2000, which obviously should be bared from my side (customer side).

Finally I had no options but to spend more 2000 rupees to save my travel.

This is clear cheating case. My sincere request to all of you is to share this with all your friends & known ones. So they can not be a part of such cheating incidence. I have barred more amounts to keep my travel, but let’s make sure no one else end up with the same story.

I am attaching all the mail chain and relevant documents for your all reference.

Please don’t use makemytrip.com and be the judge - yourself on this case!

I am still wondering whether it was my mistake to keep trust on makemytrip.com.

This is with reference to my MakeMyTrip booking Id – NF[protected] which is for Bangalore to Mumbai on 10th Dec’2010 and Mumbai to Bangalore on 12th Dec’2010.

While booking the tickets on MakeMyTrip.Com on 6th Dec'2010 night I have seen the total price of G8-202 as Rs 3,460 (with a clause of Rs 1,175 off on booking a return fare on Go Air), I opted for this offer and for Mumbai to Bangalore itinerary, I opted for GO AIR flight (G8-371) again which was costing Rs 4,907.

While I was on REVIEW page, I got a message that the total fare for Return has changed from Rs 4,907 to Rs 4,532.
Therefore the total charges should be (Rs 3,460 – Rs 1,175) + Rs 4,532 = Rs 6,817

It was mentioned (on the REVIEW page) that the any promotional discount will be reflected in the confirmation page but after I entered my credit card credentials I was charged Rs 9,167!! which I believe is full amount of Rs 4,635 (for G8-202) and Rs 4,532 (of G8-371).

I have attached the screen snapshot of the pages as reference to several emails to MakeMyTrip.com ([protected]@makemytrip.com), these screen snapshots I took to avoid such instances because I had a similar experience in the past.

On 7th Dec'2010 morning, I had over 40 minutes discussion with their customer care executive by name, Rahul at MakeMyTrip's customer care telephone number[protected] who assured me to look into this through his log files of 6th Dec'2010 (at the time I booked the tickets) and revert to me latest within 24 hours.

I am only getting reference numbers which are[protected] and[protected] asking for 72 hours time to resolve this issue!!

Today (15th Dec'2010) even after a week's time no mail has been sent to me from MakeMyTrip nor anyone bothered to give me a call to let me know the status even when I marked my one of the mail to Mr. Mohit Gupta, Chief Marketing Officer.

This shows their service level and how they treat customers, Tele-callers are also too rude in their talks as if they are doing any favors if they speak.

I am requesting the concerned authorities to look into this and let me know when am I getting my money back.

Regards,
NITIN BANSAL
