Ibibo Group / Goibibo Complaints & Reviews

I have Booked a ticket in Goibibo and cancelled 1 week before the departure of the flight. I have received success message in the website but there system got down or something went wrong they did not receive the request it seems. Now the flight departure day came and now I got a message saying flight got delayed when i called them up, they are simply saying the request is not made. Then where have my request went. What the non-sense, it is there system mistake for not taking the request, they in turn saying they cannot help it is not there mistake. They are purely cheating people. I won't be leaving anyone until I get my money back.

My booking id : akefhl9t

booked on : feb. 10, 2016, 11:54 p.M.

My self jayant kumar gupta, i booked a return air ticket from delhi to bang lore via air asia. Flight timing i chose were 16th morning & 17th evening return from bang lore. When i made payment of rs. 9649. Then their was some issue with the site due to which i have to wait for 1 hour to get the confirmation. And when i got confirmation return ticket was changed to morning wen i called the customer care they dint listed to anything and told if you want to get evening flight you have to pay rs. 1785 more which was shocking and i made payment of this amount. Then i got confirmation of the flight i chosed. This is not it then i went to air port for boarding flight where i came to know instead of my jayant as first name & kumar gupta as last name. They have made ticket as gupta kumar gupta. It was so much frustrating to board a flight. I ill recommend every one to not to choose go ibibo for booking any thing.

I would request if go ibibo is genuine then they should refund my money back.

Hi, Am currently in US and not using my HDFC bank debit card anywhere yest I can see a charge of Rs 941 on 12th Feb. I have no idea what this charge is and what company is this. I have not done any online shopping as well.
Please if someone can help on this matter

I booked ticket through goibibo for Dhanunjaya travels.But Without any prior intimation they have changed my bus to kaleswari. The worst part is they have given me last seat in the bus which does not even have a push backrest, armrest, minimum leg space.i had a horrible experience. Moreover, the head room was very little being last seat i wanted to close the AC vent which is not possible.staff behavior was very rude when i asked for change of bedroll as the bed roll was different given to every other passenger on the bus, when i sought justification, they wanted me get clarification from the agent i booked.

I have booked hotel's room in Shirdi using goibibo. They have listed same hotel (G Square Shirdi) and same room (Double Bed Executive Room AC) twice in their web page. First is normal hotel page which I had used for my bookings and rate was showing Rs 2570 +533 tax = 3113. They were offering 60% discount on base price so net amount payable is: 1561
I made this booking and paid net amount.

To my surprise they also listed the same hotel and room in another category with inclusive of breakfast and on discounted price: 2050 + 433 tax = 2483. Here also they were offering 60% discount on base price so net amount payable is: 1253.

So there is a difference of[protected] = 308.

I have booked room for 2 night so total price difference is: 616 + breakfast of 2 night.

Listing same property multiple times with different price by same operator clearly indicates the intention of cheating and fraud with innocent consumers which is intolerable and should be stopped immediately.

I have booked a room through the Goibibo App. In the first page of the booking, i have gone through the hotel rules and policy which had no mention about unmarried couples at all and there was only one rule about cancellation policy of the rooms which any rational customer would assume is the policy about how customers can cancel the room they already booked. Right after the Hotel rules and policy, there was the 'book now' option which i clicked on after going through hotel rules and policy. Why would any sane man go through the rules again after he booked the room. Any customer would look at the rules before he/she books a room. The rule about unmarried couples was there in the second page under the cancellation policy under a note. The rule about unmarried couples being an important rule should have been there on the first page under the hotel rules and policy before the 'BOOK NOW' option. My female friend had to leave the room and stay outside on the streets as we had nowhere else to go and the Hotel management misbehaved with my female friend and told us we could only stay if we kept the door of our room open. I demand compensation of the largest extent for the treatment meted out to me and my female friend and the mental agony we had to go through.

I had booked airline ticket from goibibo.
It didnt confirm because of some technical issue and they deducted Rs 20313/- from my account.
They said they will refund the whole money in 24-72 hours. But its been 8days i didnt get my money back. I call them everyday, they say it is under process. Such a pathetic service they are giving.

Sir...Please...Please..Help

I have booked the hotel Om tower located at MI Road, Jaipur from 12th to 14th November 2015 from website goibibo.com.

We have 3 booking with following names:

1. Mr.Mazhar Vasanwala (myself)
Booking Id: HTLUHNFG4W & HTLQ685CMQ

2. Ms.Tasneem Khanjiwala (booked with extra bed)
Booking Id: HTLULM9EB2 & HTLYAMY88S

3. Mr. Shabbir khanjiwala
Booking id: HTLK72EFSV & HTL4Q7GN47.

During the booking of Hotel, it was showing swimming pool facility and that is one our reason to book good hotel for diwali vacation and we have also made payment to goibibo. However when we reached to hotel and inquired about swimming facility during our check-in on 12th November, hotelier said that it is not operational. I was shocked and complaint about it to Hotel reception but he told us to talk with goibibo and goibibo is responsible for it. When i talked with customer care of goibibo, she told us to wait till 24 hrs to resolve the complaint. However they have not resolved complain till date and goibibo was saying that :

"We would like to inform you that the information mentioned on the website is not wrong. Hotel do have swimming pool facility, however within the period of your stay at this hotel, swimming pool was under maintenance.

As you have done checkin and stayed, we can not refund you the money".


My Question to goibibo is :

1. Is there no liability of Goibibo to check whether facilities described on your website is true or not and if yes facility is there then it is operation or not?

2. Why Customer will not check-in if customer get to know about hotel is not as per specification given on gobibo website when he is at doorstep of hotel and goibibo customer care has told him to wait for 24 hours to reply his query?

3. Why we should not get refund if goibibo was saying after trip completion that : "You are not eligible for refund as you have done checkin and stayed" while as during first complaint before checkin they have not said anything regard to same.

4. Is there any penalized action against hotel who are giving wrong information on your website?

I need answers specifically.

Thugs, their Gocash scheme is just a vague attempt to get ticket booed through them. Of Rs.2000 Gocash amount offered, they allow you to use only Rs. 230. Don't get trapped thinking you will be able to use Rs.2000 Gocash for the next booking.

I had a horrible experience with goibibo theives, i was try to booked Airline ticket on 25 Jan 2016 .After selecting a flight and on payment screen system thier application stuck and the booking was not completed.Amiunt deducted from my cridt card and right away i raised a complaint to thier customer care and they confirmed me on email that booking wasnot made and amount will refund within 24-48 hrs .But in relaity no amount was refund post 48 hrs and i called goibibo and they said problem is from the bank, (which is impossible as i had already got a successfully paid message by the bank) i called the bank and they said it has been paid and they also gave me the proof which is the Payment Request Number.I again escalate message to Goibibo management team and they also said the same and i do some investigation at my end on 02 Feb 2016 and found 2 PNR number confirmed which is not made at the time of booking and Goibibo even not sent any confirmation email, when i escalated and advice the same to Goibibo management team they sent a conirmation email and not readt to pay refund .Even on their support team confirmation on email i made the same booking .

SERIOUSLY DOUBT THE CREDIBILITY OF GOIBIBO AND MOVING TO CONSUMER COURT WITH A CHEATING COMPLAINT.

I booked a hotel from goibibo app in chennai, The hotel name is Centre Point, the booking was paid but i was not allowed to check in the hotel.
When i called goibibo customer support number, i got the response very late, they said they resolve the issue in 45 minutes and get me a hotel booking. Dissapointedly i did not get any call for them further, when i called them back there was again no response. The worst part is that all this was happening at night 11 . Where i was totally helpless.
The booking id was HTLFWMRTAM.
On the date of 30 jan 2016.

I booked the hotel it shows as free cancellation and after that i tried to cancel the booking it shows refund amount is 0 Rs. Cancellation charges are 100% booking amount. Kindly cancel my booking and refund my amount:6010 Rs. Goibibo is playing like anything.

I had booked Bella Vista Resort in Munnar for 2 days 20-22 December 2015 via Goibibo app. The booking was confirmed as HTLS8U4GBR. But to my surprise when I reached there the hotel staff denied checkin as they said they did not receive any payment from Goibibo. Then I called Goibibo customer care and after waiting for over 1 hr and harassment the Goibibo team booked another hotel nearby. I can adjust that. I returned back to Chandigarh and then booked a hotel in New Delhi by Goibibo named City Palace Guest House. The booking was confirmed as HTLLWKKNHW for 29 Dec 2015. This time I made a call to the Hotel to confirm my booking and they replied that they do not take any booking from Goibibo. I then called Goibibo customer care and they assured me that my booking was confirmed. I reached New Delhi at 11.30 PM and took a taxi to the Hotel. When I reached there the hotel staff again denied any bookings from Goibibo. Then I called Goibibo customer care several times but they put my call on hold every time and I was like nowhere in the middle of night. It was 12 past in the night and could not figure out what to do. The hotel staff was also very misbehaving. I started walking alone to find another hotel as I was having my exam on next day. I was about to book another hotel when I got a call from Goibibo regarding booking in another hotel. It was very difficult to find the hotel and I reached there at around 1' O clock in the night. The room was very dirty and I could not sleep whole night. My exam was spoiled and no one can fix it ever.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I have booked a bus ticket from Chennai to madurai through GOIBIBO on 03.12.2015 for two passengers. Scheduled time was 04:30 pm. At 3:53 pm i received a message saying that the bus has been cancelled and i will receive my refund. It has been around 50 days and i am yet to receive my refund amount. I didn't contact goibibo in Dec 2015 thinking that my amount would have been credited. But referring my account statement by month end, i found that there was no credit. So i contacted goibibo customer care on 02.01.2016 and i was informed that i will be receiving the money within a week. But no refund till date. I have been following through calls from Jan2, Jan4, Jan11, Jan14, Jan18, Jan 21, Jan22 and Jan23. The reply i get from them is that i will get a call at the end of the day and they are processing the complaint. But i have never got call back even for a single day, it is me who is following for my refund. I am almost fed up by their response, am certain that there won't be any effective response regarding my refund.
Kindly help me with the refund.

I saw "The Camelot Resort" available on 13th Jan for dates 22-26 Jan. Goibibo asked for full payment in advance as only a few rooms were available & the payment was made throught net banking.

Booking was confirmed via email (booking id: HTL7BSSF2V) advising "No need to call us to reconfirm this booking"

I get a call post 17th Jan, with a shock that my booking is not confirmed as hotel is sold out & the representative asked for a day to confirm an alternate booking. Till today, I am following up with the customer service of Goibibo, but the only assurance I get "give us a day"

Transportation has been arranged for 22nd Jan, with no clue of where to go???
