OYO Rooms Complaints & Reviews

OYO is a cheat organisation. I am a frequent traveller and sometimes cross cities at night so need an accommodation that is best suited with my budget. I had booked with OYO many times in the past but it has never been so aggravating or frustrating. I made a booking with OYO on 25th Nov around 3PM for the same day check in but as I was travelling, due to traffic I reached the property around 11PM-11:30PM. I was not allowed to check in as the ID was carrying was of a different city but was within 2hrs or drive. I tried explaining at the property that I have already paid advance and as I am travelling the address for which I am showing the ID proof will be totally out of my route. The person at the property was not ready to understand anything and asked me to speak with OYO. I called OYO and complaint while I was at the property. The representative spoke with the person at the property and tried to convince but that person still didn't listen. I asked the representative to transfer the call to a Supervisor or a Manager. I was kept on hold for approx 15mins in that 50mins duration call and then my call was disconnected. I was so tiered that I didn't wanted to waste my time calling them again to I went to a different hotel and paid again. I filled a written complaint to OYO through email mentioning everything along with an audio recording of what has happened with me as I record all my calls due to my profession but there has been no revert. Only revert I received was that someone will get in touch with me but no luck till now. I have't got my money yet and I need compensation for the mental harassment I had to go through due to OYO. I am ready to take legal actions against them if guided. Please help!

Had stayed in Oyo property which is marked as premiere in Ahmedabad at lal darwaja... The hotel is a budget hotel n oyo mentioned that the property had power backup but I had to suffer along with my husband n 4 years old son as power went off n in a suffocated room we had to spend two hours... Their premier room doesn't have power backup... I[censored] need proof check my call to u at 3:00a.m requesting for help which never came. Attached file shows that Oyo have mentioned power backup but the hotel doesn't have it

Hi, I had made 2 booking and below are the booking reference nos: DFZT2839 & ZPTQ5839 on 08 Oct 2015 While making the booking and also while making the payment the T&C clearly stated that I can cancel the booking 24 hours prior to the check-in time. However when I called today to cancel the booking, the OYO team in not ready to refund the money stating some Goa policy which doesn't allow them to refund any money. It is very strange and absolutely absurd that these guys cannot refund my money when the email sent by them clearly states that I can cancel for a full refund, 24 hours prior to check in time. No one made me aware of any special Goa policy that they have brought in place. Hence I do not think that I care for their internal policies and request them to refund my money for both the bookings immediately with no further delay. Regards, Nitin kalra- [protected]

Hi, My cancellation refund for booking ID QBUW5431 & XKGD2357 close 12700/- is still pending with OYO rooms after several emails and calls they simply drag the matter and only assure to resolve the issue but does not transfer the money back. They claim to be the best Hotel booking App, but when it comes to after sales service they lack business ethics. I have so far written 20 plus emails and so many calls wasting all my time and energy just to get my money back.Its rather frustrating to do all, and OYO is least bothered. I request you to kindly do the needful and transfer my money ASAP. Regards Sandeep [protected]

We had booked 4 double rooms through OYO for our stay at varanasi from 2-5 December 2015 on 1st October 2015 and received confirmation of the booking at Hotel Lara India. Again OYO confirmed our booking on 2nd December 2015 through email. However, on contacting Hotel Lara India on board train on 1st December, they said that there is no such booking, however, they would accommodate us. On reaching Hotel at 9 p.m. on 2nd December 2015, the Hotel showed to us that OYO had kept the booking 'on hold'. Again we contacted OYO over phone from the Hotel, but could not get any positive response or instructions to hotel to honor the booking. Inevitably, we had to accept the offer of the hotel to take only 2 rooms at the cost of 4 rooms. We underwent great inconvenience due to this. But again OYO has sent mail on 5th that we were provided 4 rooms and checked out from 4 rooms. We want to get refund of the money paid for 2 rooms in excess and damages for the inconvenience caused at an unknown place.

I had booked a hotel room under booking Id RIQK 4056 dated[protected]. Subsequently I had to cancel this booking on[protected]. The refund for this cancellation is yet to reach me. I have sent several email and have contacted them on their helpline several times but each time I am told that the refund is processed and will be credited in my account in 3 to 4 working days.Last Saturday was told that the amount would be credited for sure on[protected] or latest by[protected]. The refund is still yet to happen.I read in this site several similar complaints and am alarmed. A similar complaint for an earlier refund could be resolved after much delay several email, telephone calls and deep anguish . Please ensure that this complaint is resolved without any further delay.

I am one of the regular customers of oyo rooms due to its good hospitality but I'm afraid this is no more the case. I had booked a room for two days. I checked in at 1:00 pm on 8th December but due to a family emergency I had to leave the next day early morning.I needed to cancelled my booking for the next day. I called up the Oyo rooms customer service and informed them well in advance, that is, more than 16 hours before but they refused to cancel my booking and charged me for that. How can such a reputed name like OYo rooms deviate from its own policies. Such insensitivity of the OYO service proved has caused me to incurr additional costs in the time of a family emergency. Apart from the unconvinced caused this has been a very disappointing experience. My stand is OYO should not deviate from its policies . I look forward to settling this matter amicably. If, however, the matter is not satisfactorily resolved, I will consider taking legal action to resolve the complaint through courts.

It has been more than 2 months and have not received the refund amount back even after providing the new account details. After 4-5 days they provide the UTR # but have checked with the bank and does not find such transaction. I am really fed up for requesting to pay the refund amount. I just want to know from oyo team whether they are interested in refunding the amount or not ???????????????? Can anyone help me in this. My booking no. is NQHA5980

I recently went to Darjeeling where the hotel was not provided, after standing in the open for hours together we were provided a room in some other hotel. That property treated us like dogs. Never book through OYO unless you want to be cheated and insulted. Today my wife and daughter reached Bangalore and are facing the same ordeal, either you wait in the OYO phone line queue (understandable) or you conveyed that situation is not within control. My wife and daughter are suffering due to my trusting OYO. India will never change if we continue to have such people like OYO who do not have any ethics. SHAME

Asking me a marrige certificate for stay with my guest refused to giving a room. I highly disappointed n will not suggest any of my friend for using such company for spoiling their vacations.

we had booked Oyo room for mahabaleshwar from 22nd to 25th oct. We had received confirmation as well about 2 weeks before the travel date. On the day we were supposed to reach mahabaleshwar, oyo calls and says there is a problem at the property so they are upgrading us and sending us to another property near the original property - we agreed. They said they will SMS details of new property in sometime - since we were really reaching mahabaleshwar in an hour we requested them to be quick. An hour later we called the call centre - we were put on hold for more than 20 minutes for both calls... then they say we need to check in at the original hotel.. when I explain about the call I received from them they transfer me to another dept.. again call on hold for forever.. the guy then says its not sorted yet and he will call us in 5 mns and let us know the new property location.. again no call for half an hour.. we c all again.. after half hour and then the same exact same conversation as pervious call but this time the guy says give us 15 mns il callback.. no call received again.. we get to the original property we had booked but the hotel manager tells us that the hotel has no rooms for us since the entire property is already booked.. he apparently had lready told Oyo few days back about this situation. it clearly Oyo didn't bother till the day we were to reach mahabaleshwar. the manager manages to contact someone directly since the call centre was clearly of no help to us.. the Oyo guy on the call gives us the name and address of the new property in which we have been shifted. guess what.. the new property which was supposed to be near the original property is not in mahabaleshwar! it's in panchgani but obviously who cares. we check out the new property and find the rooms very small - they were almost half the size of what we had originally booked. we raise a concern the new property hote man ager says we can book the more premium rooms and its available le but will come at extra cost.. also on OYO it states property has a swimming pool but this new property does not.. also the previously booked property had better ratings plus peoperty was better (including ratings on tripadvisor) we raise our concern with Oyo and the guy lies saying the premium rooms are not available! ya we clearly are to book through Oyo. then this man threatens us after making us wait on the road for hours and make us roam around from one place to another that we can either take the small rooms or cancel the booking and take the money from OYO. Awesome ownership of his job he has done.. first screw up terribly and then threaten us..Then we called up OYO saying that our rooms were degraded and need balance money back but only reply from oyo was we will call you back this happend more than 4 times and have yet to received a call back from them and not even a courtesy call back

Dear Oyo. You have cheated me. I was given Room-304 at Season Four residencies-Thiruvanmiyur-Chennai] on 17-Nov-2015 for the booking MTGC0427. It simply did NOT match the high standards claimed by you. The following were the list of problems I encountered. 1. There were ugly stains on the walls 2. Poor acoustics [ It was possible for me to hear every word spoken in the adjacent room. Corridor noise could also be heard inside the room] 3. No Wifi 4. No lift [I was given a room on the third floor and had to take the stairs several times] 5. Breakfast offered only after 8:30 AM [For a working professional like me, 8:30 AM is VERY late] 6. No attached restaurant 7. Broken door stopper 8. No trashcan in the bathroom to dispose of the tissue papers 9. Slippery bathroom flooring 10. Uncleared trash in the corridor [Food leftovers left outside the rooms had not been disposed of in a timely manner] I contacted you on 19/Nov and you agreed to revert back to me after your investigation. I have not heard back from you. I want nothing less than a full refund for this third rate experience. -Prakash

Dear Concerned, With great excitement I booked Oyo Rooms for my Nainital Trip. I booked a Premium OYO room ( Channi Raja ) under Booking No. TLRJ6154. After i reached Nainital on 15th November '15, I was shocked to find out that Channi Raja has no contract with OYO. Imagine my state of mind to find this on a Chilly evening with my Wife. After speaking to the Call Centre, I was offered Hotel Ahuja which was a very standard Hotel. I had to accept it as i had no other choice in that cold evening and we were very tired after a full day journey. The Room was not upto the mark along with bathroom and also Channi Raja is far more superior Hotel than Hotel Ahuja. This is cheating as i was not informed about it before reaching Nainital.Because of this i demand refund Or compesation for this inconvenience and cheating. I have not receievd any reply to the number of email which i have forwarded to OYO. You may contact on the email [protected]@gmail.com as i am unavailable on the Indian Contact number being out of the country. Thank You and awaiting your reply. Niraj Kanojia

Check in at Delhi - Radjeep Palace from 1st-7th Dec Confusion with bookings- not given form HQ, staff incompetent most of the time Room had to be changed 3 times due to dirt, no windows, broken locks. final room was ok but bathroom was dirty, worn and the bath was broken. it felt a little unsafe to shower in The staff, including the manageress were very unhelpful at all times and sometimes a little rude- walking away when they were talking to you, ignoring you, talking on their phones like you were unimportant and not dealing with some serious problem with customers. Noise level of other roos, hammering upstairs and even an experience of a rat in the room Each time you went to request help they would laugh at you and also not resolve the problem. One 'sir' actaully called another room to say i was complaining about their noise, telling them my room number (this is after i had asj=ked nicely 3 times) He seemed to find the whole thing hilarious. I found the attitude of the reception staff appalling and extremely unprofessional. I will NEVER stay at OYO again and am tempted to ask for a refund on my stay
