recent experience booking and checking in via MakeMyTrip at Hotel O Kohinoor Plaza was disappointing and troublesome:
Check-In Delayed & Denied: Despite your confirmed booking and timely arrival at 11AM, the hotel made you wait an hour and then refused to honor your online reservation.
Pressure to Cancel: The staff insisted you cancel your MakeMyTrip booking, which is against standard hospitality practices.
Poor Coordination: The lack of support and clarity between MakeMyTrip and the hotel resulted in confusion and wasted time.
Resolution Delays: Assistance from MakeMyTrip’s help center took over an hour, and your booking was eventually shifted to a different hotel, adding more inconvenience and extra travel.
Overall Inconvenience: You lost approximately 3 hours and incurred extra costs—all because of weak agreements and poor communication between MakeMyTrip and its partner hotels.
Verdict
This experience reflects serious flaws in both hotel management and the MakeMyTrip booking system:
For travelers: Such gaps can disrupt plans, increase costs, and cause significant frustration.
For MakeMyTrip: There’s a clear need to strengthen agreements with partner hotels and improve conflict resolution.
For hotels: Honoring online bookings is essential for trust and reputation.
Overall: my experience was unprofessional and unsatisfactory. Stronger checks, better coordination, and more responsive customer support are needed from MakeMyTrip for a truly reliable travel platform.
