I had the worst experience with MakeMyTrip. I made a hotel booking on 7th Oct and it was confirmed. But 3 days before my trip, I spoke to the hotel people and they said they never received any booking confirmation from MakeMyTrip. So then, when I spoke to MakeMyTrip, I was told that the hotel is sold out and they are arranging alternate accommodation. Had I not called the hotel myself, I would have never realized that MakeMyTrip has not transferred my booking confirmation to the hotel and it would have been a disaster if I had reached the hotel per my schedule. I spent more than 9 hrs on phone talking to MakeMyTrip customer care to resolve this issue and it was extremely bitter experience. I would always get transferred to some extension and my call would get disconnected. Why did MakeMyTrip book my reservation and also made me pay full payment upfront. I was told that the booking is confirmed. However, they did not pass on the booking details to respective hotel. And later I was told that the hotel is sold out for given date. How the hell I was told that there is plenty of place at the time of booking and also made me pay the full payment and later the hotel went sold out ?? I really don’t understand what is the booking policy of MakeMyTrip. It seems that MakeMyTrip doesn’t even bother checking for room availability while making a booking. They blindly do the booking and later say that we are arranging alternate accommodation. And the customer is left burning. Besides, the alternate accommodation that I was offered was cheaper than what I had booked an and the person on the phone (Ishaan) was talking to me as if they are doing a favor to me by arranging alternate accommodation. This whole ordeal could have been avoided. I booked my ticket on the phone with MakeMyTrip employee Ishteyaque Alam (Ishteyaque.[protected]@makemytrip.com). I asked him 3-4 times on the phone whether rooms are available and he said there are 3 room available and he forced me to book it on the phone and told me that don’t book online. Ishteyaque lied to me on the phone. I listened to him and did the booking and then how 3 days down the line hotel was sold out and my booking was no good? Ishteyaque.[protected]@makemytrip.com << this guy led to entire disaster with I canceling my booking as MakeMyTrip was just freaking useless in handling customer. Sick customer service. I was always promised a callback in 10 minutes and no one would ever call me back even after 12 hrs. Below is the list of people I spoke to during this ordeal and they were all bluffing: Ishteyaque Alam (x3579) Rajeev Sharma (x3840) Sachin (3877) Raghvendra Shinoy (+91 [protected]) Ishaan (+91 [protected]) And all of above folks were just trying to get rid of me on the phone. I had to cancel my booking finally as there was no confirm word from MakeMyTrip was given. I really want people like Ishteyaque Alam be taught not to lie on the phone. This is a serious misbehavior being in service industry. He is the one who started this whole issue. He could have told me on phone that the hotel is sold out and I would have looked other places. The end result is I had to cancel my long weekend plans which I had been looking forward to for more than 2 months. There was no mistake of mine but MakeMyTrip’s pathetic service screwed my long weekend plan. This is my bookingID: IN1310B1S041173 ..and I am still waiting for the refund. -Dheeraj.

no refund given by make my trip, the gizmo shown on portal are only to attract and make money by looting innocent people. Sir, I have booked a tour to Dubai online NL[protected]. I have paid rs. 5000/-14329/-19329/-=38658/- being single >>>. where the cost for two was 27000/- per person twin sharing basis . ok After landing at dubai, the services shown on portal was not served on me. After coming home I lodged the following complaint: sorry to say i have no words to explain the experience at Dubai as there no coordination from make my trip. i landed at airport where i contacted the travel agency and show the doc they transfer me at hotel very good, next day no one turn at hotel to carry me for sightseeing as per itenary, i contacted the the person mentioned in hotel voucher but no response from other end. i also try to contact u but same fate . i have hired a taxi for sight seeing . next day a mini bus came to carry other passengers i request him that i m also from make my trip he straightly refused saying sir, you are not booked and not in my list sorry i can not carry u. then again i hired a taxi and went to Dhow cruise and back to hotel, the third day 12 noon i check out hotel and put my luggage in clock room and went for shopping in the evening make my trip transporter came and transfer me at airport. i still thinking what kind of package is it? i think you have booked airlines tickets, hotel and transfer from hotel not sight seeing transport. i pay more then the package to make my trip for this kind of service. i have earlier travel to Bangkok Thailand via make my trip, and book hotel many times and trusted, admire it, recommend it to my friends for its quality services. kindly enquire your Dubai executive and refund my money immediately. the same fate is also experienced by two others who are ladies in the same hotel. one from Mumbai and other krisma sharma from Delhi . regards, with no thanks, s r vashista [protected] Now paying rs. 38659/- this kind of reply is not accepted. So management is requested to go through the episode and refund my all money if company is caring of its customers in its real meaning. This is deficiency in services, this is the money for which desired services are not provided as show on the portal. The staff is saving its skin for carelessness by blaming the customer by making stupid reply. I trusted in make my trip and avail its services many times in past 5 years. regards S r vashisht [protected]

Hi

I wanted to cancel my flight and tried calling make my trip call centre to cancel my tickets but after calling 5 times and holding the phone for 30 minutes each time the phone gets disconnected automatically and i couldnt get through the call centre operator. i finally had to give up, due to which i couldnt cancel the ticket on time and lost my entire money.
This is pathetic service, and company should be banned from providing services and if they cannot service the customers as required and promised in their marketing, websites and other advertisements.
I urge all customers to book directly with airlines rather than booking through useless company like make my trip with pathetic service. The company should use funds to provide customer service rather then advertisements.

I booked a package from makemytrip for kerala for 2 person my booking id is IN1310B1S009161. They said me they will include a 3* stay and a houseboat stay for a night.Now after taking my booking amount they are saying they will not be able to give me the houseboat stay and they are not providing me details of the hotels and rooms they will provide for stay. Please look into this issue and help if its possible to get what they commited.

I was going to Bangalore for 2 days for some of my works. As it was an instant program and my budget was not that high I could not book a good quality hotel. So I have done my reservation through makemytrip.com on the same date when I was travelling (MakeMyTrip Booking ID - NH[protected], Booking Date - Wed, 21 August 13). Based on the reviews at the website I booked Hotel Comfort for 2 nights. The reviews made me fool. I traveled from Chennai and reached there at around 8:30 pm. Room was given at the 3rd floor (Room No # 307). I used the lift to reach my room. I went out from the lift at 3rd floor and found the bed sheets dumped at the corner of the corridor where a rat was running from one side to other. Entered inside the room and found a bad smell, floor was dirty, room is not maintained (trying to attach photo). I stayed there for 2 nights but could not use WiFi connection as it was not working (but it is complimentary with rooms, as per MakeMyTrip.com). On 2nd day I ordered coffee, after 1.5 hour it was delivered after 2 reminder call. But still the reviews says that it is excellent, worth staying in this hotel. I don't know how people recommend such kind of hotels. I have tried several time to write the facts using the reviews, but it never published. I personally think that most of these are fake reviews (I have couple of pictures and videos of the room, which was allotted to me, which will proof that the previous reviews are fake).

Hi My name is Biswaranjan Samal. I have booked a bus tickect on make my trip on on 06/09/2013, from Pune -Bangalore, i could not able to cath the bus because of misguided by Bus operator(VRL travels), i missed the bus and the very next day i had a interview AT Bangalore, it was very important for me, when i registered a complaint at Make my trip website on 07/09/2013, i was assured that i will get a resolution in couple of days, but it is 20 days over till now no feedback..i called to customer care there are useless, please give me a solution.

We have booked a Hotel looking at the photos on the Website at Makemytrip. We have paid 6831 INR. The location was Mahabaleswar. We were having very limited time to spend with family at Mahabaleswar. We have reached hotel and it was completely pathetic, the environment was completely dirty, the rain water was directly coming up to Bed, The Garden, Entrance was completely opposite which was shown on the website. Then I have requested hotel that this is not which was shown on website. He was very rude & not ready to even talk (I was requesting him as I had already paid for my rooms). The manager was fighting with some beggar & his employees were fighting like anything. Then I have called Makemytrip & requested to help me. Make my trip was not ready to understand the situation; we (me and 5 adults & 3 kids) have spent 2 hours fighting on call where Rain was falling. After 2 hours of call & explaining the situation I have requested the Makemytrip person to escalate the call to Floor manager of Makemytrip, after more than 30 min of struggle I have again explained the same case to manager & he understood the same. He suggested us not to check in & leave the hotel, and then book another hotel & given assurance that Makemytrip will process for 100 % refund. We agreed with the manager & started searching for another hotel. As it was raining, our condition was worst. We spent more 2-3 hours to search for a good hotel & finally got one which was out of our budget, as it was hard time, we took decision and selected the same. Later we got a call from Makemytrip that they cannot process for refund as it is their strict policy which says not to refund on cancellation. Then I have asked again that why they have committed at that time for refund. They took some more days & reverted to me that they are ready to refund for one room!!!!! This is completely wrong & I am still fighting with them to solve this however Makemytrip is completely with hotel & doesn’t help me with hotel. We have spent 30-40 thousand rupees per family(We were total 3 families), travelled all the way from Kutch to Mahabaleswar & didn’t got time to enjoy, We were just fighting for the rooms & hotel for entire day & were required to leave next day morning as the schedule was very tight. I would request you to please get involved & help us for the Justice.

Same is the story with me via booking id IN1304B12599/IN1304B12626 and I think this is the big company and have started cheating people For this I have made a Facebook page against the company which I urge you to join or like So that I think together we can raise our voice so loud that it should reach to the top management and they should know how their staff is looting people of their hard earned money Kindly share that page to your friends other people also via all social medias Page link is https://www.facebook.com/Ruinmytrip

Please provide as much information as possible... Hi, I had availed one of the makemytrip packages for Kerala two weeks ago and have been writing to their customer care section (Booking ID : IN1308B8S105600) to get an issue resolved. I had taken a 2 nights in Allepey, 2 nights in Munnar package. They charged a total of 14500 and claimed to arrange for the best close to 3 start accommodation. 1. I reach Allepey, and the accommodation is a budget hotel which did not have a restaurant of it's own. On calling makemytrip customer care, they say that it was never claimed the hotel will have a restaurant. They said they are charging me 2k for the room where as when I checked the room charges were 1200. The hotel authorities agreed to cook for us if we gave them a prior notice of 2-3 hrs. 2. It took me an entire day to get through the customer service to get this issue resolved. The calls were initially answered, however after after a point they refused to answer my calls. They kept saying they will get back to me but never did. I finally get a call sometime in the night saying the room will be upgraded. I asked them to move us immediately to the Munnar location and they agreed to do so next day. 3. Cab driver was not provided his fuel amount. He borrowed this from us. 4. Makemytrip claimed the cab would be with us all the time however the driver informed us that his work timings are from 8-6 and post that we can avail the cab only for emergencies. This was not informed to us by makemytrip. 5. We reached Munnar the next day, however had to leave the very next day due to an emergency. We informed the hotel authorities and they agreed to pay us back the entire amount for the remaining two days. Makemytrip agreed as well and they refund me 2000? When contacted they said it was a calculation miss and they would refund 4000. They are paying me back only 27% where the rooms were used only for two days and taxi was used only for pick up from Kovalam, drop to Cochi and in-between sightseeing just once. On questioning they claim taxi charges were 8500 which cannot be refunded and I am not even given a clear split of the entire package. Its been two weeks now and I still haven't got a response. Thanks, Rebecca

Please I was booking a flight mum-rpr for 6th sep but payment debited from bank and in booking section ticket is not showing so I called your customer care but no use after calling 5 - 8 times I can't reach the customer executive in the mean time a call came from make my trip and he told you are booking a ticket so for any help call our customer care (Supposing we don't know whome to call while booking online ticket.) anyway after frustation of not getting connected to customer care after repeated try (sometime call forwarding bouncing the call to one executive to another) I made my booking from YATRA.COM very smoothly. There executive called me and guided me till my booking is done. Look in to the matter and hope you will review your process to get early and proper response to customer. for trial you yourself try to book a ticket on yatra.com and see the difference. moreover try once to call your customer support and another time yatra customer support. provide as much information as possible...

Hi, Can anyone explain the basis of the CONVENIENCE CHARGES Rs 300 that are applied to the customer just before payment option selection. Absolutely NO DETAILS about the convinient charges on the website. Why and What is the reason and How it has been decided. Basically, If a person books a ticket worth Rs2000, then he still ends up paying extra Rs300 for you (You have good Quarterly Results, we know it). Return My Rs 300 , You fraudulent Company and Explain the reason for the fee.

We are being taking for a ride by the makemytrip people. I had done a booking for kingfisher airlines from Delhi 28th Nov 2012 to Guwahati and return on 3rd dec from Kingfisher through Make My Trip . However 2-3 days before my journey I got the mail stating that flight has been cancelled. I asked for help from Make my trip to arrange trip but they did not help and I had to book my tickets at higher price. I was told that my refund would be there by Dec end 2012. And since then I have been chasing them regarding my refund but all in vain. I have contacted them numerous time but they are not even giving me any answers. I am really frustrated and irritated with their responses. I know the status of Kingfisher airlines.. However it also responsibility of make my Trip , as the tickets were booked through them… The details are as follows:- MakeMyTrip Booking ID - NF[protected] Amt to refunded- Rs. 18554 Require Help…Not sure what to do?

MMT Complaint ID:[protected] makemytrip is publishing false advertisements in Bank homepages and eventually cheating customers by not refunding back the cash by saying that the cashback was not valid for the period of time when I booked the ticket. This FYI MakemyTrip i called your customer service executive before booking the ticket also I got a successfull confirmation on the promo code "ICICIDF" while applying the deal code. Even after this the unprofessional customer care executive keeping on saying the same statement . I feel being cheated and MMT must stop publishing such nuisance in Bank Websites at least.

I had booked my Kashmir Tour for my six family members....It was all Inclusive Tour and I was told by make my trip that i need to pay nothing more on the Trip. I had done this booking online through the Tarvel agent called Himani Soni (mobile no [protected] ). But in the Trip i found that the arrangement was poor, Hotels were not the same as shown while booking....Service managers were not very helpful.....The worst part was that at Gulmarg Gandola Ropeway booking was not done by makemytrip although it was included in the trip. And after that the tour manager forced us to book the Horse rides which proved costly....on top of that the Housekeepers were trying to misbehave with the female members of my family. When we tried to resist they started beating us up and my brothers hand was broken and had to kept in plaster for 3 months......The tour manager ran away from the scene and refused to provide any sort of help...he said whatever happens to customer is not his business and we should manage on our own......i tried complaining online as well as to Post sales dept of makemytrip Shivkumar and Amandeep ( contact number [protected]) but it proved of no use..
I will request all the readers please not to book anything through MAKEMYTRIP as this company is not at all caring about its customers

Hi, i am a Swiss author who also happens to live in the Engelberg valley in Switzerland. I have also worked a few years at one of the hotels in Engelberg that caters for Indians, so have extensive "background" knowledge on what goes on behind the scenes.
I am currently working on a book about Indian tourism in Switzerland, and would like to personally interview a few people who have actually been on a tour to Switzerland, and find out how they were treated from the time they bought their ticket, to the time they returned home. I will be in India in 2014 doing research, and if anyone has the time, and would like to meet up for a chat, i would be very happy :-) I can be contacted on: [protected]@bluewin.ch
thanks.

I have booked a ticket from ahmedabad to mumbai in indigo airways in rs2074/person with tax through makemytrip on 10/09/2013 at 3:59pm for 3 people. And the day of trip is 10-15days from the date of booking. But for obvious reason i have to cancelled one passenger from tour. So i have cancel a ticket on the same day at 5:45pm. They refund me back just rs323. So i have called to makemytrip for inquire abotu the penelty and they reply me that 1500rs was the penelty by airlines and 250rs penelty is by them. This is rediculus. How can the airline charge me 1500rs and the agent 250rs for just rs2074 ticket. Which is 10 to 15 days from the day of booking.
