| 3 | Yatra.com | First time users will find it difficult to navigate through the options available. The dark background and the misaligned box shots are really irritating. |
| 4 | Travelguru.com | Simple but not informative, no toll free number. |
| 5 | Cleartrip.com | Highly simple, users may navigate away for the same reason thinking of clone sites. |

Apart from the above parameters we used to compare these sites, the most and important factor to be considered while choosing a travel company is 'Customer Care'. There are many travel start-ups popping out, let us wait and watch how many of them will survive and replace the top 5 sites listed here!
Good and Exhaustive comparison.. 5 Stars to post....
ReplyDeleteHORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT MAKEMYTRIP RECOMMENDED HOTEL
ReplyDeleteHi we stayed at Santana Beach Resort, Candolim, Goa - booking made
from Makemytrip -on 8 March 12 Booking ID NP2801016836305..
We had a
very bad experience and the staff were rude and unhelpful, and I request
you to take my feedback and not recommend this hotel again..
- Several
attempts to contact them prior to stay were met by rude staff on the
phone
- When we did check in late (10.30pm) on 1st day of arrival, one
staff person on phone shockingly indicated prior to check in that due to
late check our booking may be cancelled (already fully prepaid through
Makemytrip), and only relented when told i had prepaid and already
contacted them once earlier
- On arrival asked for a small delay on
checkout time of 11am (to 1pm or 12noon ie 2 or 1 hour late) was told by
one staff person that there were several free rooms and will be done
next day at 10am as the reception person who operates computer comes at
10am
- Next day was told the hotel was full at 10am and told to check
out at 11am sharp which we did..
- One staff tried to shortchange us,
and only when i asked did he say they didnt have change.. i offered to
give change and then got change
- Power shortages and poor inverter
backup
- Mediocre breakfast (if you want to call it that)
- Rude even to
budget foreign trippers while we were checking out
- Mostly seemed to
cater wholly for budget foreign visitors (indian owner perhaps frowns on
indian visitors and wants to discourage them, so he can get a better
"profit" from foreign visitors!!??
best wishes

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this
I really like make my trip to book air tickets they have made really very easy and fast also very very comfortable to book online because and also we get lots of other information from the website which we can’t get from other booking sites.
Did you know you can also get discount while booking tickets and hotel booking at makemytrip, you have to just use coupon codes which you can find here http://www.couponlow.in/makemytrip.com/ and use these coupons and get discount on air tickets, hotels and holiday packages.
Regards
Powar
I have booked a holiday package from yatra.com... Will share my experience once its over..
ReplyDeleteInsted of booking online try booking with the makemytrip agents ..they usualy offer lower price than site i travel a us-india-us alot
