OYO Rooms Complaints & Reviews

Hi I booked a hotel with OYO rooms for March 3rd and 4th for myself and my father. When I reached the hotel at 11pm at night the Hotel did not even have a board and it was not a hotel but a mansion built for bachelors that reeked of alcohol and smoke. And on top of that the person in the reception said "OYO has overbooked the hotel pls deal with OYO we have no part in it" And I had to put myself out there at 11pm at a place that clearly was not recommended safe for girls and keep calling OYO a thousand times so they can put me on IVR and then disconnect the call telling i have not selected the valid option. finally when I got hold of one customer care executive he was too busy putting me on hold for the next 10 mins while he investigates the issue and came back with the reply "Please wait for 24 to 48hrs as the hotel is not picking calls". Finally after putting up a fight with the executive for 30 mins he finally agreed to a refund and a gratification amount for the "INCONVENIENCE" caused and the they filled a ticket complain with the ID "[protected]" . Later after 48 hrs I got a email stating the refund has been initiated and no mention of the gratification amount and when I emailed them asking about it they simply stayed silent and no reply. To be honest this is not the first time that this happened to me. In my opinion OYO has the worst customer service and apps like makemytrip and airbnb, agoda are far far better that OYO.

It's such a pain dealing with these people at oyo and their numbers are all international numbers and they've made me wait weeks so far for a refund on booking one room for one night when an oyo refused my id for checking at one oyo but anther different oyo down the road accepted it the next day. I believe the teller knew this would be a hassle and did this on purpose to rip me off and I've sent pictures of my ID and several emails and have been given the run-around. if you have any hesitation about this OYO chains customer service, rest assured they are unscrupulous and will rip you off. Don't book with them.

I had done a booking for room with amount of 1089 at silver key bhumi world. Once I had completed booking and payment.
The app started showing me another 409 pending amount which was not shown before booking

Hi,

I have made a payment of Rs 1, 342/- to oyorooms from the UPI ID pay.frosti.[protected]@okicici on 09-03-23. The UPI transaction reference number is[protected]. But booking not showing in mobile app.

Please help me in refunding the amount at earliest.

Its been more than a month yet my refund was not provided as the coustomer care promised to provide it by 7-14 working days asking them for the same in which there response was it will take few more days and than transfere my call to some other entity in which they put the call in a loop where no reponse is provided called complained it many times yet no seriousness is taken for the same

I booked the prepaid hotel booking through booking ID UYZ50874 on 22 December 2022 however, while at the time of check in hotel manager decline to give me access to the property citing that OYO does not give them their share of the revenue and embezzles all the booking amount with them only. It was very dark outside so spoke to OYO manager regarding this then they said they will refund my prepaid booking amount within 14 working days and I can take the room at my own (paying in cash for the room). It is already more than 2 months since OYO reject my prepaid booking and still waiting for the refund amount.
I also heard every other OYO customer citing this problem (not refunding the cancelled booking's amount).
In this way I don't think OYO will sustain for long.

Kindly refund my amount.

I called the oyo number and your reservation desk member said he'll book an oyo for me and gave me this link through which I paid. He then cut the call on me before giving any booking id. Now I've lost money and got no oyo room. I need refund. You can check all the details in the screenshot. My registered oyo number is [protected]. I paid using [protected]. Without booking id I can't proceed further

I've mafe a booking on oyo and when i tried payment on first attempt it got failed and on reattempting it got successful but at the end money is debited twice from mu account. I've been trying to contact customer care but no response. I need a refund

This complaint is regarding harassment faced regarding Booking ID: LOVM6273. I booked my stay online for 1 day [[protected] to[protected]] in Oyo Ankan Regency. But after I reached the hotel the front desk receptionist told us that they have not received any booking from Oyo regarding Booking ID: LOVM6273. They informed me that they will not be able to provide us any room. So we called Oyo Tech support and after a conversation of approximately 1 hour the Tech support person told me that she will only be give me a refund for Booking ID: LOVM6273 and create a new booking at a nearby Oyo property and can do nothing else regarding the harassment we faced due to your technical issue. I had no option than to agree to what she said and paid an amount of Rs. 1063/- again for a new booking regarding Booking ID: UMH52363. I request you to escalate this matter to the person concerned and arrange for a refund for the new booking regarding Booking ID: UMH52363 which happened due to the technical error at your end.
Please do the needful at your earliest.

Despite shifting confirmation with Oyo Customer Service, check-in was denied for two hotels in a row
After reaching out about the approx. 400rs travelling charges for the second Oyo room, they denied check-in stating Oyo had not credited the Wallet and after talking to customer care they mentioned we will investigate this.

I had booked oyo (oyo hotel Riviera, Agra) on 11th feb 2023(from 11 feb-12 feb 2023) from agoda website. Made the payment online of rs. 2090. When I reached the hotel, the person on reception told me that due to some technical fault as some merger of agoda and oyo were going on ( he told me that) I will have to pay offline in cash( same amount as paid online) to them to book the hotel room and the amount I have paid online will get refunded in 3-4 days. He also told me that some of his previous customers had also faced the same issue and got their money refunded in 3-4 days. It's been a month now and my amount that I have paid online is not yet refunded. I have called the manager several times but he is just making excuses for that. I have called the oyo customer care more than 10 times now and none of them is able to help as they just cut the call after listening to complaint. I made the double payment of the same amount once online then offline(in cash at the hotel reception). I checked in there stayed there as I was in urgent need of the hotel as i have to give the exam the next day. Kindly look into this matter.

It has been 2 months still my complaint has not been resolved.
I made a booking with amount 1296/-, paid via UPI. Money deducted from bank and I checked with bank customer service as well, that transaction was successful. But from Oyo side, person consitently mentioned that we cant do anything as booking id is not generated and I have to contact bank people only to check wrong transaction.
Oyo, did not try to see if they recieved a mony with help of accounts team, and ultimately no solution was given.
I have submitted the bank statements already to Oyo, clearly stating the trasaction of 1296/- to oyo.

Oyo is biggest scammer na hotel wale room dete h na Oyo wale refund pesa free ka ata hai kya jo khakar bth gai hai ye company more den 30 days ho gae hai jisme 30 se jada call kr chuka hu 40 40 min hold par daldete h na koi solution na koi response na refund aya abhi tk itni badi scammer company mene aaj tk nhi dekhi i just want my refund 2 bookings ka refund nhi aya h. I just want it.

I booked a room in hotel orient flagship 73965 on 1st march through oyo app. I paid booking amount through app but when I reached hotel, they told me that booking is invalid and if I want to checkin I will have to pay extra tariff charges which is not mentioned anywhere in the oyo. As I had no other option, I had to pay extra charges i.e. 542₹ apart from 458 which I paid while booking, so total bill was summed up to 1000. They also refused to give me bill. Even though I am sharing screenshot of payment done by me. This is totally not expected from oyo. I just want refund for extra money that I paid which is 542₹ as soon as possible. I have contacted oyo service multiple times but it is not worth contacting. Executives are only putting calls on hold for long hours and not responding. Resolve my issue as soon as possible.

I had booked OYO rooms Via OYO calling booking source on 28th February 2023 at OYO townhouse 069 using online payment (₹603.00).
But when I was checking in Hotel manager asked me to pay extra amount of rs. 403. So total they took 1006 rs. When I complained oyo customer care they asked me to roam from one hotel to another as they could not resolve with their hotel...which was not feasible for me as i was with my family and at the hotel i booked... So i paid 1003 extra irrespective of making full payment asked in advance by oyo booking agent i.e. rs603. The oyo booking agent cheated by false claiming about my booking that they talked to the hotel and i will not be facing any issue as i have booked by their side on calling mode. I confirmed them twice about the same thing.. But each time she lied that my booking is confirmed and took payment from my side...
Please try to help ASAP. Attaching bill for the extra payment made at the hotel.

Dear oyo,

I came to hotel at morning 9 am today. They refused to check in. They said, they did not receive full amount from your side.
I booked this property in advance full payment to oyo and requested for early check in. But here situation was totally opposite. I called ur customer care that time and took more than an hour but nothing happened. Even I asked to ur customer care for booking another property nearby. But he could not able to give me. My complete schedule disturbed and big headache also.
I booked this property oyo townhouse 160 Vaishali 1.
After taking so much pain. I booked this same hotel in cash so I had to pay here Rs. 3815.
Now I want the refund of this total amount oyo.
I am very surprised and shocked by your services first time.
