𝗕𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗬𝗢 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 OYO Rooms is involved in a scam at high-demand tourist places. They overbook hotels and a lots of rooms on a first-come, first-serve basis. When rooms run out, customers receive a last-minute call that their booking has been shifted. The new hotel is often of lower quality but higher price, making OYO a significant profit. If customers cancel, it doesn't impact OYO, leaving customers to suffer. This happened to me in Puri, Odisha. Despite booking a month early, I received a call while traveling that my booking was shifted. OYO moved us from a 3-star hotel to a dirty lodge. After many calls, they couldn't help, and I had to cancel. We ended up searching for a new hotel with our luggage, paying a much higher price. Be cautious with OYO and consider other vendors.

Yep, I had the same experience while traveling to Goa. I reached late so they knew I was not going to argue much. They booked me a new hotel for higher rates, I had to reluctantly say yes. Because I had my significant other with me and it was getting late. After that I stopped booking Oyo and use Booking.com instead.

Post this on Twitter and tag them. This is unacceptable, how the fuck someone is suddenly asked to a cheap ass hotel for the price of 3 star hotel. This 3 star hotel should be used and publicly brought to notice

I've had good experiences with OYO in the past, but this sounds terrible. Guess I'll have to be more cautious from now on.

Business Incidents Oyo started by aggregating budget hotels on their platform, similar to Airbnb. They listed properties but didn't control the experience (think: just a listing site). Their pivot transformed them into a franchisor. Now, they partner
