Everywhere now days scam going on in every field. In that case, i would have changed the hotel as already I m ready to pay more. Then why to pay them!! There are more hotels that might be good and pay them only. 😌

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I reached there at 8:30pm and didn’t have the energy nor inclination to go Hotel hunting then

[@dondornongrum475]

sir plz come to my Village smit .in my Village we have some thing nice......

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I’m going to visit Smit soon

[@anonymousstranger4856]

I suffered same in sohra . I really disappoint it's my first visit to North East state and such experience I got. I travelled many other places like goa but on such location I don't get experience like that. Really disappointment .

[@KevinNongkynrih-]

Im a local khasi from here...If you need any help do inform our NGO call KSU so that they will take action against those hotel .

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I don’t want to pick a fight, just want people to be aware so they don’t fall in to this trap and go through the frustrating experience

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I have, of course, reported them to Booking dot com (btw, just realized why your comment disappeared-it’s because you probably put a link in the comment. KZbin doesn’t like that). I don’t want to pick a fight with the hotel. I just want people to be aware of the scam so they tread the path of online booking for cheap hotels carefully

Much love from Shillong 💛

[@itehillahdiengdohdiengdoh6351]

Really sorry to hear about this especially because it's in our State but I think this happens everywhere , it's just that it becomes even more sad if there are first time visitors who are visiting to explore the place but just because of such scammers they're visit will just be the first and last 🥺🥺 without knowing that there are good people out there in our beautiful state . Hope anyone who sees this will still come to shillong and experience the beauty that surrounds us.

[@DCTravelerExperience]

That’s right. Scammers are everywhere and I have seen much worse scams in other places. I absolutely love Meghalaya, so much so that I’m now living in Shillong in my own rented room 😀

[@Laikagirl2023]

I experienced the same....it's not the hotel management it's the scammers they put up a fake link where the money goes to the scammers and not the hotel.

[@DCTravelerExperience]

No it’s not that. I didn’t have to pay online. The money was supposed to be paid at the Hotel itself. It’s just that they ask for more money than what they advertise online

[@renukalalwani5805]

Same thing happened with me. Hoteliers don't take action nor State government stringent steps

[@alanzchannel6525]

Which hotel sir it's happened like that if you have any problem again with you or your friends go to police station or call HYC, KSU, HANM , etc they will come to lockdown thah Hotel

Thanks for the heads up, DC Traveller! I am less than two weeks away from my trip to Shillong and I haven't booked an accommodation yet. I'll be more alert while doing so. And I'm considering some of the homestay you suggested on your previous vlogs in Sohra. Xx

Great, enjoy your trip! 😀

[@nomanland5752]

Thanks even I'm from Shillong but i didn't know there is a scam for booking a hotel..better to go personal

[@gratiasmarweinmarwein4821]

Thanks for such informative vlog dc traveller. Most of us though local we are not aware of such

[@ishaanlymz7948]

You can book in home stays either being obsessed with that ......We work in home stay we really make guest comfortable for their stays .....

[@alverzenongkhlaw5688]

Name us the hotel and we'll provide you justice...

[@WaMo721]

just name the hotel......it will save many tourist from going there and have a painful experience....i dont understand why you showing empathy to such disgrace peoples....i see no logic

[@swagata97]

Exactly you are right... @dc traveller you should declare the hotel name...

[@shaikordor164]

Hotels flourished because of their customers. But if they treated crookedly to the ones who gives them bread and butter, they are depriving themselves from blessings. Customers won't suffer they will suffer in the long run.....

[@DCTravelerExperience]

True!

[@bhubandahay7450]

I'm telling you guys never ever book the hotel through OYO it's a scammed one of the OYO employee told me himself that when you book the hotel and you use some discount code and the price becomes less and it doesn't satisfy the price tag of that particular hotel the manager they lies about it not having the room available or any other excuses to not give you the room because they aren't satisfied by the price you booked

[@hubert140990]

Sad To hear... To be honest if you don't exposed the hotel it's not going help the other and they'll keep scamming tourists...

[@chanbormesuting6179]

Let you know most of the hotel in shillong run by non tribal and most of them from wbengal and bangladeshi busssiness men. Local people will never do like this.we are welcome each and every tourist.

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I know!

[@bhubandahay7450]

Till today I didn't get my money back they told me there is no refund policy

[@unpluggeddooars7165]

Why u not shown the hotel name?

[@mangkarakhyriemmujat388]

[@humbertthongni4525]

Why not mention the name of the hotel as well. That would make your claim valid

[@DCTravelerExperience]

I provided the reason why I don’t want to name the hotel. If someone thinks it’s not valid, they can experience it for themselves. I did my part to make people aware 🤷🏻‍♂️🙂

There's certainly more to it than what he is saying that is why he is not providing the name

[@kalpanaaudreyganatra9636]

Your walking at the G.S.Road Shillong. Prestigious hotels will not cheat. Youcan go to the Police Station and file an FIR....to teach them the lesson.

[@4peaceT]

Some people they don't know anything about the internet I'm really feel shame to hear my lovely state like that situation

[@sleepingtiger8844]

That’s not really a scam You still have choice to change the hotel anytime

[@DCTravelerExperience]

People do advance booking because they don’t want to waste time looking for a hotel after reaching their destination. So asking the customer to pay more than what they originally booked for is unethical and a breach of contract. At 8:30pm at night I won’t go hotel hunting and I’m forced to pay them more. That’s a scam

[@rikhasi123-72]

please mention the name of that hotel

[@anjupaul1997]
