MakeMyTrip India Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I wish to update on the false promo made by make my trip.com,
I wanted to visit varanasi to perform last rituals to my dad. So I decided to book a flight from chennai- varanasi and back to chennai ( since they advert for the above destination), on visiting thier site, I came to know about the offer buy one get one. So I decided to book onward and return individualy and against making single round trip transaction, to avail this offer. before purchasing the ticket i confirmed with thier customer care, they said only Rs 1000 would be given as cash back. So I booked on 22 Novemer 2012 from chennai to varanasi for 13 December 2012 flight and booked the return ticket on the same day 22 november 2012 from varanasi to chennai for 14 December 2012.

After booking the ticket, found that no cash back has happened in my account from Makemy trip.com, so I enquired the customer care, I was said that they would deposit the amount after the journey.

Today 27 December 2012, When I inquired the customer care for the same reason they say the travel date of free ticket must be 7 days after the booking date of free ticket.
I clearly explained her the booking date is 22 November 2012 and travel date is 14December 2012 so it is more than 20 days, why it is not applicable to me and why you people gave me wrong info that 1000 would be cash back after journey.
Kindly help me to get right justice,
Thanks & Regards

Recently i booked a travel ticket from Bangalore to Coorg through makemytrip. My booking id is NH[protected], booked in my name (Sibabrata Sahoo) on Tuesday, 18 December, 2012, 9:44 PM. The guest house i booked, that address was,
Stewart Valley, Coorg, Near Vartha Bhavan, Stuart Hill Road, Madikeri,Coorg,Coorg,Karnataka,571201. The contact person for the guest house was Mr, Naveen ([protected]). The booking was for 2-days from 22 December 2012 - 24 December 2012 for 5 peoples and the money that i spend was Rs. 13,814 using my credit card.

When we reached there on 22 December 2012 by 4PM and contacted Mr. Naveen, he directed to some other guest house. It was difficult for us to know the guest house name immediately because when we asked for confirmation about the name to Mr. Naveen, then he replied that you are at the back side of the house and the name board is available in front side. That is the reason we went inside of the house and few time latter we found the guest house name is Hill Valley in Mangaladevi Nagar. This was not the guest house we booked for, so we started communicating with MakeMyTrip customer care[protected]. Many times the call was disconnected and some times they replied Mr, Naveen will reach you, in next half an hour. But Mr, Naveen never came back to resolve the issue. By that time Home Valley house owner came to know about the fraud and demanded the money from us. Because we could not able to afford paying money again, so we back to bangalore on next day 23 December 2012. Before starting back to bangalore i talked again to makemytrip customer care and found they are unable to help in that emergency condition. I reached bangalore on 23 December 2012 night and on 24 December 2012, i placed a call to makemytrip to refund my paid money as well as all the lose that happened during the trip. They said they need 12 hr to resolve. For proper co-operation, i extended the time till 26 December 2012(10AM). I did not got any call back by that time, and when i called back again, i found they do not have any intention to work on it. They could not able to give me any decision about refunding my money.

Hello,

I've been through a horrendous experience and mental harassment due to makemytrip.com faulty reservation procedures.
I've booked Munnar Heritage Resort through makemytrip.com on 29th Nov, 2012 for 2 nights stay (22nd Dec, 2012 ~ 24th Dec. 2012). They have sent me the hotel confirmation voucher with booking Id - NH[protected] mentioning "your booking is already confirmed and no need to contact hotel or makemytrip for further confirmation".

Though I've re-confirmed the booking few days ago with makemytrip.com customer care.

But when me and my wife reached the Resort on 22nd morning, the resort guy said he had no intimation of our booking from makemytrip.com and they are full. Hence they couldn't give us room.

After almost 2 hours of continuous discussion with makemytrip.com executives and sales persons, finally the we got only 1 night stay in that resort and makemytrip.com assured that they'll arrange another resort for the second night within few hours.

But even after several hours they didn't do anything. Even the morning shift sales person left without notifying about my case to his evening shift executives. Then I called and communicated with them continuously for 3-4 hours to get a confirmed resort for the 2nd night. The makemytrip.com sales guy Mr. Prithviraj Barut sent me a SMS with Blue Bells Plantation Resort confirmation for the 2nd night and they assured this time Mr. Anil from that resort confirmed the reservation and there should not be any problem.

But unfortunately, when we arrived Blue Bells next day morning, same thing happened and we found Mr. Anil is from some other branch of that hotel and he never confirmed the booking with makemytrip.com.

So finally I requested a cancellation for the second night stay to makemytrip.com which is under process and I had to arrange another hotel for that night stay which was a tremendous task specially because of X-mas crowd.

So, my full holiday is ruined due to makemytrip.com mess-up. To add to this, I found there were many other guys faced same problem with makemytrip.com and many resorts confirmed that these kind of issues are common with makemytrip.com.

So, it seems there is no proper communication and handling with makemytrip.com sales guys and resort guys and customers are paying for this. If not monitory damage, at least huge mental harassment.

Hence, please be aware guys, try to avoid makemytrip.com for hotel booking and if you already booked, at least re-confirm with the hotel directly.

I have tried to book bus ticket through www.makemytrip.com on 28,September 2012. I did not get the ticket even though my money deducted from my account. I have contacted costumer care . They have given booking ID. They told money will refunded within 7 working days. I did not get money. Again contacted many times. I have complained by sending mail to [protected]@makemytrip.com . They replied that they are not able to refund automatically . So they asked to send Bank statement. I have sent and contacted trough phone. they told that money will refund within seven days. I did not get. Again and again I called .They are repeating the same words" waiting for seven days". Still I didn't get money.

Dear Sir,

I booked 2 tickets for 25th of Dec, 2012 from Chennai to Howrah, for myself and my wife. After booking we realize that we cannot take this flight, its shows "2 stops", because my wife cannot travel with this many flight changes as she is pregnant. So I decided to cancel this ticket.

Later when I put mouse over "2 Stops" the details says it will stop only one place that is only Bangalore, if that is the case we would have not cancelled this ticket.

Because Information which MakeMytrip shows on their site, that mislead me to cancel the ticket. For cancellation I have been deducted Rs. 2,500.

When I have sent this refund request to the MakeMytrip, they are not refunding my money back.

Due to Family emergency i booked ticket for my family using makemytrip.com on 15th Dec , Travel date was 17 Dec @ 9.30 AM


As of now ( 11 PM @16th Dec), I haven't got the ticket though amount 2.6 Lakh (ICICI bank) was charged as of 15th Dec only.

I have called up 6-7 time on makemytrip toll free number, everytime they apology for my issue, escalated it and ensured that they will return back to me, but no one has called me up

Its less than 6 hours before i have to leave with my family (including two small kids) and i dont know...as no one is able to provide me 3 ticket

Its very very painful event for me and my family when we dont know that we have to travel after providing big amount,

I cancelled ticket for BLR to PNQ and return by GoAir for travel on Nov 17 (onward) and Nov 20 (return) booked through MakeMyTrip. The refund amount that MakeMyTrip claims to have credited to my card a/c is Rs. 4421/- (have an SMS from MakeMyTrip). The amount received in my a/c is Rs. 4039/-, and there is a difference of Rs. 382/-.

I have been following up with them for last 3 weeks (Complaint No.[protected], and there are many more.. so I am not listing them here) to credit the additional amount. I have sent details provided by my bank (ICICI), and still there no response from their end. I am deeply frustrated at MakeMyTrip's handling of this situation, this despite me being a "Gold" rewards customer.

Please note that this is not the first time I have had an issue with MMT. In Mar, 2012 I used their service to book Sterling Resort at Ooty on the eve of my 5th marriage anniversary. After a long 10+ hours drive to Ooty from Bangalore, we realized that there was an issue in the hotel booking, and Sterling Fern Hill at Ooty declined to provide accommodation. Finally, I settled for an alternative arranged by Sterling, and also lost Rs. 1500/- in the process. I had lodged a complaint with MMT (ID:[protected] immediately, but no response from them.

It is my firm commitment to no longer avail MMT's service anymore I think there are better alternatives now.

I had made hotel booking in Trivandrum 15.11.2012 for the date 19.11.12 to 21.11.2012 (2 Nights) through make my trip- MakeMyTrip Booking ID - NH[protected]. It was written on the confirmation voucher that my booking is confirmed & I need not to contact hotel or makemytrip for reconfirmation. When I reached the hotel, they denied me the entry & told me that they have communicated to make my trip through e-mail on 15th Nov-12 itself that there is no such vacancy on the booked dates. After reaching at the hotel, I was denied entry & was standing in the midnight on the road & calling helplessly to makemytrip for the alternative arrangement of hotel. After three hours of struggle & pain, I was finally told that make my trip has booked a room for me at hotel White Dammer. I took a taxi & I checked in the newly arranged hotel at 4.30 AM in the morning & a voucher was sent to the hotel & me.

The day was full of inconvenience to me as whole night was washed out by the reluctant & reckless attitude of makemytrip service staff. I missed one important meeting with the customer on the following day & complete purpose of the travel to city was wiped out. This proved a major financial loss to me. Again my miseries were prolonged by makemytrip. I thought that I will sleep second night peacefully but at 12.00 clock midnight I got a call from hotel that make my trip has not paid to & I need to contact them for payment, otherwise I will have to pay again to hotel from my pocket. I called make my trip & two hours were wasted in the communication in night with makemytrip service staff. This night was also a pain to me because of make my trip. In the night makemytrip service staff promised that they will make the payment to Hotel early in the morning & I need not to pay. But when I went at reception for checkout, hotel informed that they have not received any payment & make my trip has stopped responding to their correspondence. It was a real humiliation that I was kept waiting for the payment delivery from you. Make my trip mailed hotel not to take payment from me on the promise that they will make payment after 10 AM. The hotel kept my luggage as security against payment default from make my trip & allowed me to go on business call. Again all these things delayed me & I missed another appointment with customer on next day also. When I came back in the afternoon to collect my luggage, I was shocked to know that still make my trip has not paid to the Hotel. I was forced to pay again

I have booked my Bus ticket from Makemytrip from Abu Road to Mumbai on 01/12/2012 Bus operator - Neeta Tours and Travels PRN/ticket Number - 5567301 Makemytrip Bus ID :NU[protected] two seats. At the time of boarding I called the bus operators Dsmesh Travels on [protected] to get the location. The Bus opeator told me I have to come to Palampur to get the bus which was not possible me. I told him I have bboked the ticket from Abu Raod and it is not possible me to come to Palampur but he told me the Bus will not come to take me at Abu Raod. Hence I cancelled my ticket the I have not refunded any amount by Makemytrip. I must get the full refund of Rs.3600/-.

This morning i did a hotel booking on makemytrip.com site. Everything was fine and I made payment by internet banking. I got a message that said transaction failed. On checking my bank account i found to my surprise that the money had been deducted from my account, but i had received no booking confirmation via email or sms.
I called customer care and spoke to them and they told me there was NO BOOKING done ! If that is the case then why have they taken my money?
I have sent a written complaint to them to get my money refunded to me attaching a scan of my bank statement showing that makemytrip has indeed debited my account.
This is a really unpleasant experience and I feel cheated.

I had booked a cab using www.makemytrip.com on 22nd Nov. 2012. I required the cab for 4 hours on 24th Nov. 2012 starting from 7. 30 PM. I had made an advance payment of around Rs. 544 in that regard also. The MakeMyTrip Booking ID is NC[protected].

However, to my shock I wasn't provided the service by the cab service provider and kept in the dark till the very last moment that I wouldn't be provided the service. I had received a call from some cab vendor inquiring about my destination etc. and that person told me that he would send me the cab and driver details around 2 hours before pick up. However, I did not receive any such message and after waiting till the very last moment when I called the number from where I had received a call, I was informed that they didn't have any cabs available. Needless to say it put in an enormous amount of trouble as I had to scamper for a cab at the last moment.

I registered a complaint on makemytrip.com but they haven't acted on it so far. The complaint ID is[protected].

I feel cheated by makemytrip.com and want an appropriate punishment for them.

To Whom Soever It may Concern I have been over charged for a Flight ticket booked through Make My Trip.com below chain of mails to and from them will give an idea of the ordeal I have gone through... I hope my experience will be a lesson at least for others not to use MMT

Kunal,

I work in the logistics and Airline industry myself... please dont give me excuses that Airline rates are dynamic... I understand that it is dynamic but based on load factor... but 2 changes in a gap of 25 minutes and that too from one rate to another and then back to the same rate??? Are you kidding me??? This answer is unacceptable to me...

And mind you... when your dash board said 4851 when I clicked 'buy' on it I should have got that rate... other wise you are cheating the customer... and as the date closes in does the rate go up or down? and within 25 mins?

I think you guys need to at least give me a valid explanation to the point that how did the rate change in the minute of clicking the dashboard to booking the ticket and that to by over 40% and was back down within a span of 25 minutes???? Please do not give standard responses... The least I expect you to do is a thorough back ground check before reverting...

Please let me know the contact details of some one with a little more responsibility and sensibility that I can correspond to since you seem more bound by policies and standard scripts than common sense.

If this is going to be your final response I will be forced to go to the consumer forum on this... Since it more a matter of principle here than money. I feel cheated by Make my Trip.. And I will go to any end to express my displeasure...

Hope to receive a more sesible revert from a superior at the earliest...

A very dissatisfied customer

Subject: Re: Complaint - Your Jabong.com and CaratLane.com Vouchers from MakeMyTrip.com

Dear Makemytrip Manager...

Please stop sending customers coupons which have got riders attached to it... I tried to use the below voucher at Jabong.com... Following is what happend

1) When you select one item and apply the voucher it applies... but the site will not let you buy the produsct saying that you have to attach atleast two items to your cart before you can purchase... (So it cant be used)

2) When you add one more product and try to use the coupon it says the coupon is not applicable... this is ridiculous...

And more inportantly the cost on Jabon is atleast 10% higher than any normal online site... So if your agruement is that we first need to purchase two items without the coupon and then use the coupon on the 3rd purchase... eventually the loss for the customer is far higher than the gain of that mere 500INR.... I would have rather you didnt give any vouchers.. than make a fool o[censored]s consumers...

I am going to be posting this information on the other networking sites as well... So that others dont waste their time... since I wasted at least a couple of hours surfing the site to find some products which suited my requirement (and my time is very precious like a lot of others) since the other were senselessly overpriced.

Another big issue that I had faced while doing my booking on MMT is that when I booked a ticket for BOM => the price said said 4851 All inc... but when I booked it... the final transaction amount came to 7652(Booking reference NF[protected]... And then 25 mins later when I made another booking for the same sector the price was back to 4976 (Booking reference NF[protected].... Same flight same date... booked on the same day within a span of less than 30 mins... When I called your call center the 1st time your agent told me that flight rate fluctuate any time... Which I agree.. but that logic doesnt apply in this case.. for two reasons.. when I saw the cost of flight on your dashboard it was 4851INR, it changed in less than 2 mins??? and in another 20 mins it was back to the same cost???? I understand escallation of cost towards the flight date but the reverse???and tat too up and down fluctuatio in a span of 30 mins... anyway she couldnt explain a logic back to me and said she had to speak to her senior... while on hold the line got disconnected and i had to call back and speak to another agent ouf yours who understood mystand point (was pretty understanding and sensible, but somehow not empowered)and has told me he has escallated it to the back office team apparently... he gave me a ref no of[protected] and told me some one would get back to me within 3 working days on this ... so I am waiting... but I want to put on record that I do not expect an experience of this nature from what I thought was a professional organisation in MMT....

I have been using MMT for some time andiIt would hurt me to got out as a detractor and negate MMT in all my social and professional circles... Not to mention the social networking...

Hope to hear from someone in a responsible position in MMT soon...

I have booked my trip through make my trip though call center. MMT lack communication in many aspects. One should not book online or though call center. The trip should be booked on counter or MMT office. The hotels in thailand ask deposits around 2000 to 3000 baht. No one informed us before trip. Gems gallery is waste of time should not be included in package. Kesari is little expensive but better than MMT
