Ibibo Group / Goibibo Complaints & Reviews

I had done the above booking and could not travel from India (Due to Covid 19) due to which, I could not travel further from Sydney to Auckland against PNR VT42JH. This was the flight of New Zealand Air.
As this covid problem started, I had been following up with your team, for cancellation, but could not do so till the last moment. In the meantime just before the travel on 15th March i received whats app from your end (proof attached) to take insurance against the above trip by selection of option 1. which i did then i got the link and paid Rs 998 to secure the trip cancellation upto Rs 25, 000. Till this date I have not received the policy documents nor have you been able to help out against my loss.

I was looking forward to what you will do. But Alas, no help was coming directly nor you were able to send me an Insurance copy that I can follow up to get a refund of my Rs 22, 793.

After this, i was just thinking that now is the time to not to do the business with the aggregator, because at problematic times they are not able to help nor handle the situation and instead of thinking of business the focus is only on profitability from each transaction rather than profitability in overall business. This thought came to me because the Hollandamerica cruise booking which I had done gave 125% credit. Etihad travel booking which was done that gave Future Credit with $ 100 extra per ticket, whereas booking done through aggregators like you are simply looking around instead of running around and helping the CUSTOMER.

But again my perspective changed, when i received a call from your team on 13th May 2020, followed by the mail. In the call a person assured me that your team is trying to get a refund and will revert me at earliest with the same.

I waited for a week, then today when i called up your system diverted me to go on net and do the chat. Your system chat is ### (i am sorry to say so with harsh word, because it's a program to frustrate rather than providing proper response). Again I dial on [protected] at 12:15 (this time I am giving so you can check the recording) and your agent says that because all are working from home they are unable to help, citing the reason of Covid 19.

Now, please think, if you people in travel constantly remind me of covid 19, the unwanted history and then you are spreading the fear among the people who are contacting not only for the past but for future business and in the process you are a loser.

Please do needful and solve my past problem fast, because from the bookings you can see that I have already planned to go to Canada on tour in October 2020. I still have to do lots of other booking and it's your responsibility also to generate confidence among the traveller like us, by solving the past problem at earliest.

I have already booked Antarctica Cruise for Jan 2021 and further North Europe cruise for June 2021. I have to book lots of flight and hotel booking in the months to come, so it is in the interest of our relationship that you solve the problem at your end itself instead of awaiting another person's response. If you can understand faster it's better for everyone, otherwise if people's psychology changes, aggregators will have a very tough time to get turnover, forget profitability. In my case you will be able to recover also from the Insurance policy which I took through your link. So please tell your team to spend energy. Help Clients and Help yourself.

I am manohar singh. I booked ticket from Jaipur to Indore on 4 july 2020. But I got a call from bus operator on that evening that my bus has been cancelled. I called to operator to refund but operator said that Goibibo would give refund. So look into this matter immediately and start process to give refund.

This is with reference to our Flight Booking PNR No.UFYVKW for 3 passengers from Vienna to Mumbai via Istanbul scheduled ( now cancelled) on 8th April, 2020 by Turkish Airlines.
As you are aware that due to the outbreak of COVID-19, all the international flights have been cancelled. We had made the said flight booking on 26th October, 2019 and paid Rs. 72984/- towards the booking.

We sent an email on 8th April, 2020 to Turkish Airlines to confirm the refund.On the same day, in reply to our email, the Airlines confirmed the refund and advised us to contact the travel agent which is Goibibo. Thereafter we are in touch with Goibibo. However, unfortunately, there is no favourable response till date and hence we have had no other option but to approach Consumer Complaints Forum.

We are unable to understand why even after confirmation from Airlines Goibibo is unable to refund amount. The matter is pending since 3 months.

We request you to look into the matter and oblige.

Regards,
Sanjay R Lotlikar

Book ticket from Delhi to Gaya from goibibo on 2nd April for 19 April which was cancelled automatically due to corona outbreak but I still didn't get any refund as it said DGCA claim refund on 4 may, 21 day time which was given by DGCA has passed and I still didn't get any refund.They say use our web forum but it show you have no upcoming booking with us and as there is no way to communicate them due to lock down they are taking advantage of it, it's been a very long waiting for something as simple as refund.

Please do something as I am waiting for refund desperately in this pandemic.

I have attached my booking details please do have a look.

Hi team,

Created 9 tickets as of now for the refund on flight cancellation happened in mar 2020. Just imagine the service from goibibo.

Looks like goibibo support team, without reading the issue description simply closing tickets with some junk information.

In some cases, they just drop the call in the middle and soon they close the ticket.

It's been more than 3 months now, can you please complete the refund asap.

Fyi

I had booked my flight from Bangalore to Ahmedabad for 16th April. However 2 days before the flight I was notified by Goibibo that the flight will not run and requested us to cancel the flight booking. I went ahead and cancelled the flight but its been more than 2 months I have not received my money. I understand these are unprecedented scenarios but 2.5 months a long long time even in the situation of the pandemic to update me on my refund. This is pure harassment as it is impossible to reach Goibibo's support and they have replaced their voice support stupid incompetent chat support which is super dumb.

Please update me on the refund for my flight booking with PNR number: WRKPKR.

If I still od not receive any update on my refund in another 2 days, I will have to unfortunately file a legal complaint in consumer court.

I have booked a ticket from seattle to delhi via paris through goibibo (Pnr g2k7t4 travel date 18 mar 20). But the flight from paris to delhi got cancelled due to covid 19. Due to that i have to cancel my ticket. But i have not got the refund till date from goibibo for my cancelled ticket.

The amount of refund due to flight cancellations due to covid has not been full. Goibibo has deducted cancellation and reschedule charges from the refund amount which is totally wrong.

Hi, mr. Sanjay bhasin
Greetings of the day.

I need your intervention urgently.
For last two months i have been trying all ways and means to reach a person in goibibo to help me get a credit shell or refund of my paid air tickets booked thru goibibo.
I had written so many emails to customer service, but nothing worked out.
I have booked round trips tickets for 4 persons from chandigarh to goa.

Both the tickets have got cancelled due to covid-19 and there is no information on giving the credit or refund.

The indigo website is so horrible it does not allow you to navigate. There is not a single person who is viewing customer issues at goibibo.

Pl understand i am jobless for more than two months and its with pain that i am writing this mail to you.
I hope someone will call me and help me out of this mess. I have been your customer for more than 8 years if i am not wrong.

Request my issue before coming monday otherwise now i dont have the option to knock the consumer forum door.

Regards
Manoj kumar dogra

My booking id is gofldand9a[protected] with pnr k1vkwm.
I cancelled the ticket through goibibo app. The refund processed is rs.6350 however i have booked the tickets amounting rs 14670.
Since the flight got cancelled by airasia i am eligible for full refund. I request you to look into the matter and take necessary action at the earliest.

Subject: my flight ticket mumbai-chennai 7th may 2019

My pnr no. V5eyxt.

I had booked air ticket through goibobo travels for mumbai-chennai sector for 7th may 2020, by vistara airways. Unfortunately, as you are aware the flight got cancelled due to covid-19.
I had requested vistara airways for full refund money of rs.4580/- and with great difficulty they had agreed for the full refund. A copy of the mail message to this effect from vistara airways is appended below. Subsequently i received refund advice from goibobo intimating full refund of rs, 4580/-, a copy of the refund advice is also appended below for your perusal.
However i am surprised to receive refund of rs.1923/- only instead f rs.4580/-. I am at a loss to understand as to why a huge amount of rs.2657/- has been deducted, when no service has been rendered to me. Morever vistara airways have refunded the full money of rs.4580/- to gobibo; but goibibo have refunded me only rs.1923/-.
I am a senior citizen and i have no other source of income. I would therefore request you to instruct goibibo to refund me the balance amount of rs.2657/- immediately.

Thanks.
