Ibibo Group / Goibibo Complaints & Reviews

I faced a hell lots of problem for my flight from melbourne to delhi with pnr no. Y12d8, as my parents were not given wheel chair support event at melbourne airport and also at indian airport, inspite they both are old aged and are suffering from severe osteoarthritis.. It was pretty difficult for them to come out ant took around 2 hours for them to reach out with substantial swelling in both knees of my mother and father, doctors have advisedd strict rest for them... Not only this even the money has been deducted from my creditcard in favour of air india and also they have not upgraded my seats to business class...# company and staff behaviour

As part of booking the flight tickets, i was checking different sites and there are few sessions that were opened.
During this time, i guess the names were mixed up. Instead of
Ab and xy the names became ab and xb!!!

Nobody gives these voluntarily. Why cant update the names correctly!!

The min i submitted, i relized this and asked for correction. Its been 18 hours and everytime i was told i will get a callback and no callback at all!

I have shared the screenshots etc and still its not being considered. What is that i can do??
Please fix this!!!

I have booked a flight in air asia, from indore to banglore with
Registered mobile no. Is [protected] for the passenger named mr. Teerh
Raj yadava. Contact no. Mentioned in booking is [protected]. Amount
2060 is deducted but booking has not been confirmed. I called many
Times to customer care but problem was not resolved. Kindly pay your
Attention on situation.

I booked a deluxe room at grand bhagavati ahmadabad for 11th and 12th jan. Goibibo offered marginal discount for the same as compared to the rates given by grand bhagavati. After checking in on 11th jan i came to know that my booking was only for room and not morning breakfast which was included in the tariff offered by the hotel. This means goibibo cheated me as the merger discount was at the cost of morning breakfast, offered by hotel for all deluxe room clients. One need to be careful while booking through such sites which have an attitude to cheat

I booked a hotel stay from goibibo on 11th jan, 2019 for 2 nights and 3 days for check in on 30th jan, 2019 and check out on 1st feb, 2019 with booking id htlmbuzs24 for the waterfront shaw hotel in lavasa for my family of 2 adults and 2 sons (Age 11yrs and 10yrs respectively). I made a non-refundable booking inclusive of breakfast for 4 o[censored]s and made an upfront payment of inr 9720. The confirmation email that i received mentioned wrong ages for my sons as 1yr old each. My wife immediately bought this to goibibos notice and asked them to rectify the ages. They are denying to do the same and asking us to pay inr 6000 additional plus taxes.

Firstly why would i book a 1bhk apartment with 2 infants.

Secondly why would i make a obvious lie in a non refundable booking.

Thirdly this was an error on goibibo's part that the ages mentioned while booking the hotel were not mentioned correctly in the booking confirmation, the app clearly states that my booking if for 4 guests.

I fail to understand what should i pay extra for when i have already paid occupancy charges for 4 guests and also the booking includes breakfast for all 4.

We have all the call recordings of conversations with the goibibo executives and one of them after speaking to his senior even asked my wife what is the maximum amount you are ready to pay.

This is clearly extortion as they know it is a non-refundable booking and we wont have a choice but to pay.

Sirs,

Today i have booked return air ticket for son [pnr no. Qnbo8s]. I have faced two problems -
1) spell error noticed in father's name i. E. Instead of sanjay it is written as sanajy. Needs to be corrected.
2) further i have given my son's mobile no. As +49 [protected]. However the same is 11 digit. This is valid number. But for all calling or writing through your call center / website it demands 10 digit...

Hi team,

My wallet is locked and i can not use money. It is a cheating by goibibo to their customers. It is not ethical practice to cheat its own customers
My registered email id is [protected]@gmail.com
Go cash earned is showing credited is my account but i can not use and msg is notification showing that any suspicious activity is done in my account but no advance notice is given before a action like lock the wallet and not mentioned any genuine reason of lock. It is a planned cheating by a reputed online site.

I got an email confirming refund of an overcharged amount per email as given below. However i have neither received the refund nor can i find details from anywhere. Please sort it out if possible, including forwarding it within goibibo as necessary. Thnx1

I booked a goibibo cab for my journey on 13-jan-2019 from hotel eyrie suites, aecs layout, marathalli, bengaluru, karnataka-560037 to kempegowda international airport bengaluru. The time of departure for this cab was 5:15 am. I was standing at the pickup point since 5:10 am. When i tried to contact the driver he didn't pick up the phone. I waited there for 15 minutes (Appx) and after 15 minutes i have to find a new cab and go along with him at a much higher price. When i tried contacting goibibo for this scenario and to get my prepaid money back no one is picking up the call for assistance. Goibibo has cheated me.
For further reference, i am attaching the pics of the cab booking.

Ps: pnr number-carpaf8h2xv4obe

I booked the hotel from goibibo site and they had charged me Rs 2688/- where as when i checked out of hotel they had given me the invoice of Rs 2000 approx (i have original copy). They told me that they will not provide me the invoice of Rs 2688 as they rooms rent are lesser than the requested bill. They given me the invoice of Rs 2000 approx. I raised my complaint to their customer care and as result of that i received a mail that 1 call was not picked by me so they are treating my complaint as closed. I mailed them again and i received a call on which they told me that this their internal tie up and they won't give me back my differential amount. When i told them that i will move to consumer court than they told me in a sarcastic manner that you can.

I feel cheated.

Thanks
Vineet

Booking no.-htljbwm874
Date of incident: 31 december 2018

I made a booking via goibibo after going through their certified hotel list. The pictures and location were not even close to the real description. On arriving, i could not ask for a cancellation as the booking was non-refundable and i stayed there for the first night.

On the second night, there was a heavy knock on my room window and i noticed a few men outside on the adjoining building's terrace staring into my room. I am a female, i was alone in that room and i didn't know what to do in the middle of the night. There was nobody at the reception and the location was not safe for me to leave.

It took all of my courage to run from that place at 4 am and rush to the next nearest hotel. I came back to that hotel in the morning and took all my luggage, but the hotel said they wouldn't refund the rest of the amount as it was non-refundable.

I request a refund of my booking amount for the remaining 2 nights and the amount i paid to book another hotel for 2 days. This is highly disappointing on the company's part to have given a 4.2 rating and certification to this hotel. Pathetic service, no safety, no decency. I want the refund, definitely.

Hi,
I have booked flight from goibibo for the airlines spice jet. My pnr no is xek1jn dtd 10th november. My registered no is [protected].

I have cancelled ticket online on 7th november, 2018. Today i called spice jet for refund then they have replied that refund already initiated to goibibo on 7th november. But till date we have not received refund. Please do the needful and refund the amount.

We have tried to call goibibo customer care but not getting response. Firstly we have tried to cancell from goibibo but at that time customer care executive told to contact spice jet. Please refund the amount

Amount of 8239rupees had cut done from bank account. But ticket pnr had not been message to our mobile phone. So, we want our amount back to our account or send message of our ticket to[protected] mobile number. We were requesting for our ticket or getting our amount back to our bank account which we had done the transaction. Please this is our kind request from our side.

I have booked hotel for 1st to 2nd december. After reaching hotel i found that there is no booking for me. I called customer care, the executive asked me book a hotel by my own with a limit of 6000/- and difference amount will reimbursed. I have been following them since then and they are making false promise with me to wait for 5 -15 days.. They customer care executes are also very much ill mannered.

Hello, i had booked “caravela beach resort” in goa from 2 jan 19 to 5 jan 19 from goibibo app. The booking amount was 96700. While booking, i had applied a promo code cashback according to which if i make payment through my debit/credit card then i ll get approx 20% cashback after i checkout from the resort. Which i haven’t received till now.

I am calling customer care people for last two days who are not responding well and behaving rudely. I have also mailed the booking confirmation received on my email in which it is mentioned that the promocode applied is cashback because the goibibo people are now saying that i have not applied any promocode. How could they make this false statement when they know that i have the proof.

Well, finally i am forced to submit the complaint here and going to do it on other consumer forums and facebook. It is a request to please solve the issue.

I booked a cab on goibibo app from chhatrapati shivaji international airport mumbai to pune on 7th jan’2018. My goibibo booking pnr carpif8an0pvckx. The cab departure time was 4:30am from the airport. I received a call from cab drive at 2:00am informing me that he will reach airport at 4:00am. At 4am i received another call from the driver (Shubham) from a different number and he said that he will be late by 10mins but will be there by 4:40am. I waited for 30mins outside the airport till the cab arrived at 5:00am. I called the cab driver again to confirm if he has arrived, when i realized that the cab detailed (Cab number, driver name, and number) i had received are not matching with the cab that has arrived. I refused to board the cab keeping in mind my safety concerns and called goibibo customer care number to understand what was happening. Nitin from customer care service confirmed that the driver who was booked earlier to pick me up from the airport had declined the trip and hence a new driver was assigned to me without informing me. I was surprised at this because i didn’t receive any call, sms, email or update on the goibibo app in regard to this change. I was highly disappointed and annoyed at this because the customer care absolutely denied to help me by saying we cannot update the cab detailed on your goibibo app since the system does not allow for it. My question was then how the hell will i know that my cab has changed, and a new cab is allotted if you are not going to sms, email, or update the same on the app, then what’s the point in having one. After all the arguments, i boarded the cab post receiving the email from goibibo at 5:28am with new cab details. Since the call went on for 40mins, the cab driver had to wait at airport parking for which he was charged a parking ticket of rs.220 (110 for every 30mins) which he later handed over to me to pay back to him. It wasn’t my mistake that he had to wait at parking since i couldn’t board a cab for which i have not received any information and even the customer care was not helpful. I refused to pay it back. As if all of this was not sufficient, when i reached pune the cab driver asked me to pay him parking ticket along with money for 8kms extra ride. I was amazed at this coz i had entered end to end destination on goibibo app and made the full payment (Rs.1742) in advance online for 145kms. The driver had to wait at parking coz of the mistake from goibibo’s end, he had to stop for his morning tea in between the trip and his car tank was not full so we had to go to a petrol pump, considering all of these events if the kms on this car went up, again it wasn’t my mistake. I conveyed this to goibibo customer care when the agent on the call said that he can’t help it and i have to pay for the parking ticket and extra kms. I refused to pay for anything since i had already made the payment online and it was their mistake for which there were not apologetic at all.

I booked a ticket from goibibo and later called to reschedule the same. The executive escused with the reason system not working and asked will give a call within an hour. But no call received from end. Again I called and requested the representative to share the charges I have to pay against the same. With same excuse they assured for call back. On my fifth call the executive said that penalty is approx 19k plus extra ticket charges as applicable. It was surprising because i received price confirmation on mail as 9500/_ and also total fare for round trip at that day was approx 19k. I asked the executive to recheck the same and confirm. Since the day approx 10 days I have given several call and everytime have a same reply that we ate are arranging call back which is, , , , , , , , , today I requested to transfer the call to supervisor hoping can understand mu issue but execute replied that we have to early mail the issue to the senior and after proper time, senior will give call. Direct interaction with the personal is not possible am very sorry for the worst and pathetic response from customer care. Would never buy any ticket from goibibo nor would suggest anybody to take service from you for free also.

I am avani parekh. I did one booking for irctc ticket from my goibibo account. Amount deducted but when i check for booking details its showing as unsuccessful i tried to get refund but help chat options unable to understand my query and helpline number also not working.

I had booked two room of 5103 & 7501 on 25th dec 208 in agra. When we checked into the rooms at 8pm, we found the rooms so dirty and smelly. The linen was soiled and when asked to change, we were told that their customers eat on it hence it’s like tht and won’t chnge. After a lot of struggle they showed us another room but only one which was again not tht great. Ultimately we had to search for another hotel and move out. We spent double just bcoz these ppl showed gud clean rooms and not the reality.
I demand refund of at least one room for this inconvenience caused. I was traveling without my husband and with kids.
We felt so scared in a city like agra without knowing anyone.
