Oyo revised its rules to allow only married couples with valid proof to check-in, starting with Meerut, UP All hotel partners in the area are advised to deny unmarried couples from checking in According to the Region Head of Oyo North India, this is to make Oyo a welcoming place for families, solo travellers, students, religious travellers, business travelers and more The new change imo shifts Oyo from a modern front-facing hospitality brand into valuing traditions and old-fashioned ways of living Another reason could be to make couples book two rooms instead of one What are your take on this?

Leaving everything aside, What about the customers(A male and a female) who genuinely just wants a place to stay during their trip and there isnt any sexual bond between them. Will they be denied entry?

In my opinion, this has both positive and negative implications for OYO. Bookings from unmarried couples likely contribute a significant portion of their revenue, which might decrease. However, there will still be individuals who won’t mind spending extra—they might book two rooms but use only one, which could temporarily boost revenue. Overall, though, I feel this change will negatively impact their revenue. Additionally, I don’t think this rule will significantly change their image.

This is terrible & could easily amount to discrimination. If our courts were more active this act would be deemed unconstitutional. I know oyo is trying to change its image of being the Love hotel but it's terrible in my opinion. Moving backwards!

This rule in OYO it's a great loss to the company itself. The intention and the rule is good, as per culture of India this rule is great , but as per business point of view OYO company will rise to down. Now, there are many who will start as same OYO that's all happens.

I think we should copy Oyo this time because unmarried couples are not allowed in Oyo but we can open a hotel in which 18+ couples can stay And we can also differentiate the rates within it, like if Oyo's per hour is 500 then we will keep it for 300

Furnished rental homes for live in couples. A lot of couples who opt to live-in are unable to find rentals because of the discrimination they face. The idea is to find 1, 2BHK homes which can be rented out to unmarried couples who want to move in.

i think oyo is making a very big mistake. according to sources they plan to apply for couples only entry in all partnered hotels. This can give them free Marketing but on the business side they may backfire. if they only allow couples then normal
