A man recently took to X to share a\u00a0frustrating situation that he faced when he reached the location of his pre-booked hotel in Bengaluru.\u00a0In his tweet, Amit Chansikar, who is a digital marketer, explained that he had booked an Oyo hotel room via MakeMyTrip. However, upon arriving at the location of the hotel, he realized it was under renovation and nobody was present there. To make matters worse, an amount was also deducted from his refund.<\/p>\n

Mr Chansikar slammed both the\u00a0prominent booking platforms, and called his experience ”tantamount to cheating.” He wrote, ”@makemytrip\u00a0&\u00a0@oyorooms scam alert in Bengaluru. Just came here to find that the hotel I had booked is under renovation. There was not a living soul here. This is tantamount to cheating! After wasting 2 hours here they cut money from my refund. Shame on you!” He also shared pictures of the site and all his booking details.\u00a0<\/p>\n
