I recently had the misfortune of booking a stay at Bedzzz Hotel, Varanasi, for the night of October 14th via Goibibo. Due to my flight being cancelled, I had to rebook for October 13th, extending my stay to two nights. Considering the situation, I requested Goibibo to amend my booking to include the extra night. They reached out to Leisure Hotels to check availability, only to inform me that the hotel was "fully booked" and could not accommodate my request. Instead, they shockingly suggested I stay in a female dormitory with my 76-year-old mother. How could anyone in hospitality even suggest this as a viable solution? When I then requested to cancel the booking, as clearly no reasonable options were being offered, Goibibo informed me that the hotel’s approval was needed. However, when I reached out to the hotel's reservation manager, Mohd. Zubair, he simply passed the buck back to Goibibo, refusing to approve the cancellation. Despite Goibibo reportedly sending three emails to Leisure Hotels, Zubair blatantly refused to help. It is truly appalling how Leisure Hotels handled this situation. Rather than showing any understanding or flexibility for a customer in an unforeseen situation, they hid behind rigid policies, prioritizing their profit over basic customer service. Leisure Hotels’ treatment of customers is nothing short of harassment. For a brand supposedly focused on hospitality, they have failed miserably. I would strongly advise anyone considering a stay at Leisure Hotels to think twice. Their complete lack of empathy and unprofessional management makes for a truly pathetic experience. Don't expect any support if you find yourself in a tight spot; they will happily leave you stranded. Avoid at all costs!
