Liked the vibe of the place. The staff was very helpful. Had few issues in finding the hotel but the staff at the hotel guided us well to reach there on time. Will definitely suggest booking this small cottage in Himachal

Trustpilot removed my review because Oyo said I wasn’t a genuine customer. I am and I have provided the evidence. Avoid this company - there should be a regulatory body so places like this are shut down. Chased a refund for 6 weeks. Ended up going through my bank. No proper customer service contact line set up. Corrupt.

I booked at an OYO property via booking.com and, on arrival, found the property to be in a clearly unsafe condition. The air conditioning control panel was physically hanging off of the wall in our room; there were wires hanging from light fittings in corridors; multiple steps/stairs were dangerously loose; and broken items of furniture were left out in corridors. We informed the check-in desk we would not be staying and expected a refund, but having emailed customer support and waited over a month I have had no response.
This experience left me out of pocket twice over - once due to the lack of refund, and again due to the higher cost of finding alternative accommodation same-day.

This is unbelievable, same experience as these last few. Got online to book, said it didn’t go through there was an error. I only got one confirmation email, sent to me. Get to the desk, realize they had multiple reservations for me. I asked for a refund, she said nothing she can do, but would put it in the system for one of them. The lobby smells like weed and is disgustingly gross. I get to the room, pull back the sheets and there’s blood on the sheets, the chair in the room is the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen, and the room isn’t mopped. I was in the room less than 5 min. Please give me my money back, I’ve tried to call customer service but same experience as others.

Went on the website to price a booking. Did not think I had completed a booking but then got an email confirmation. Tried to cancel (I had not provided payment details) but links don't work, emails are returned undelivered, to call is an Indian number, no responses to texts. Have tried to contact the hotel directly which is part if the group with same responses. Hotel switchboard gives options but none work.
After this review they did cancel my booking. So all ended happily.

Worst booking company ever. There is no customer service. Just a chat bot that sends you round in circles. I want to cancel my booking and it says it will send a 4 digit otc but it never gets sent so cannot cancel. Talked to an Indian call centre on one of the many telephone numbers told to ring and they said they cant amend my booking and gave me an www address and guess what? It sends you back to the chat bot. Telephone number for hotel call and they cant help saying i have to discuss it with Oyo!! Stay away from this firm at all cost unless you want to go insane

I booked the Nant Ddu Hotel Lodge & Spa, two Executive rooms, for a stay for myself and my family. Upon arriving I was charged the full amount £1408, when we went to the rooms, it was clear that there was a spider infestation, and I went back to the main reception, and stated I couldn't stay there as I have a very severe phobia. The front desk said that they could not refund me any money, but agreed that I should get a full refund and said I should not cancel my stay on Booking.com, as there was a process to follow. As the hotel had taken full payment, I was left with having to go through their escalation process, which I have been emailing every day for 4 days now, and no one has even acknowledged any of my emails. This is a huge amount of money to be out of pocket and frankly the state of the hotel was truly disgusting! I would not ever stay at am Oyo hotel again! They have taken my money and not given me a refund, even though I stayed a total of circa 40 mins at the hotel and this was only to allow them to try and clear the infestation, which they could not. They also stated that they had a known problem with spiders at that hotel, to which I replied that they should put that on their website and customer information, as it was a very common phobia and not good at all. I was promised a full refund by the front desk, but to date have not a single penny refunded, nor have I received any response to my emails. I would avoid this brand and especially avoid the disgusting Nant Ddu Hotel Lodge and Spa. I am still waiting for my full refund, as promised to me by the front desk staff at Nant Ddu Hotel Lodge and Spa.

💥Update to respond to your reply.
This was the response I received by email when trying to follow through on the initial instructions to ring a number for the refund. It includes the booking reference, but dont think I can post my contact details on this public forum. The ticket number is 5998428814.💥

Worst hotel experience ever, do not use this company. We booked a room online drove for one hour in rush-hour to check in, when we got there, we were told there was a computer error and there was no room available for us. And that there would be a refund, it took me six weeks to get that refund of fighting and calling almost every day. I was caught in an escalation loop of broken promises. Failed callbacks, hung up on when they transferred me to a manager at least 12 times. I only got the refund approved the day after I called the Better Business Bureau.

This company stole money from my bank account. I recorded the phone call in which my cancellation was confirmed. I also have evidence from the hotel that the booking was cancelled. My booking is VBCD3332. You can pay me back oyo but don't write a bullshit apology here and expect me to contact you back only to fobbed off again. I am not going to waste my time.
You have my booking ref. If you refund me I will take this comment down... So if this is still on trustpilot then I haven't been refunded.

For Oyo: booking ref T1B50864
Reading other reviews this is a pattern! Booked Sunday Burford Bridge Hotel with full cancellation option but now struggling to get my refund paid despite two emails and two calls. Appalling service from Customer Service who said they’d received no emails from me but would ‘copy me in on their Finance email’ to follow progress but this didn’t happen either. Someone at Oyo sort this out!

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! I booked 23rd June but couldn't stay because of their error. Now 28th July and after many chases, no refund! Today they claim that my details had disappeared. THIS IS NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE. OYO.
OYO PROMISED TO REFUND ME 7 DAYS AGO, AFTER REVIEW. STILL WAITING!
ANOTHER 10 DAYS, PROMISED TO LOOK INTO IT, OBVIOUSLY USED STEVIE WONDER? DO NOT USE OYO FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

DO NOT STAY HERE: BED BUGS!!!
This place is absolutely disgusting, filthy, and not fit for human habitation. My friend and I booked two nights here at £153 - expensive for Great Yarmouth. Upon arrival, we were placed in a room that we hadn’t asked for or booked which was a twin superior room. Instead, we got a double room and had to share a bed. The rooms on the pictures on Booking.com and Google are extremely misleading, please do not believe what you see, they DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT! Dismissive manager, Hanif, passed all issues I had with the room onto the maintenance guy, Richard, who clearly isn’t management. On the second day I completely broke out in bites all of my body, as did my friend who I was staying with. Upon searching the bed, several bed bugs were found! My friend and I had to sleep in her car for the night before travelling back the next morning as we could not find space at another hotel at 2300. I’m covered in sore, itchy bites and I’m absolutely horrified and traumatised by my experience at this place. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!
Update 23 July: no one from OYO or Booking.com has contacted me back. I have had to spend a significant amount of money on medical bills for the bites. I have made a formal complaint and requested not only a refund, but compensation.
This vile place should be closed down.
Update 28 July: OYO and Booking.com have refused to provide a refund or any compensation. I’m absolutely disgusted with the way I have been treated and will be deleting my Booking.com account as I refuse to be an account holder of a company who lists hotels like this on their platform and then refuses to provide a refund.

Terrible customer service, waiting on $666.00 refund since April. OYO keeps telling me to call Booking. Com and Booking.com sends me back to OYO. I think they work together to rip people off. They took my $ twice and won’t refund what they owe me. Be aware of OYO Motels. I DON’T recommend this Motel to anyone. Be careful they will take your money $$$ and run.

I tried booking a hotel room through oyo's website, and while it went through, there were MANY technical issues and red flags where I didnt even receive any sort of confirmation e-mail (much less even a confirmation screen upon completion of my booking) that I decided to book elsewhere for cheaper and better customer service. Despite cancelling within 24 hours and receiving an automated cancellation confirmation e-mail, my refund cancellation and refund were rejected 3 weeks later, 1 week after my booking window. I will never use Oyo again and would warn ANYONE else to book through any other service.
Booking took place on 06/07/26, cancellation made (and cancellation confirmation received) on 07/07/26, booking was for 19/07/26-24/07/26, rejection of cancellation and refund received on 27/07/26. Booking ID was X3PO9502

Promised compensation by manager of Sunday's Bristol hotel after major problems with check in and lock out from room. Confirmed in email from manager and directed to oyo customer refunds. No response from oyo. Four 'promises' of resolution via telephone customer support - nothing. Three unanswered emails to customer support. Three 'tickets' generated all of which promise action - nothing. This has to be one of the worst company's in the world for its customer service.
Update (6 Aug). It gets worse ! Supposedly an email has been sent to me in relation to the matter raised in initial review. No email has been received. Is this simply further obfuscation?
