“Warning: FAKE Hotel!”
We booked from 2–5 September and got a standard confirmation, then chatted via WhatsApp about an airport transfer. The driver picked us up at about 3:30 a.m., but instead of taking us to the hotel we had booked, he drove us to a different property roughly 20 minutes away. That place seemed like a 2‑star establishment and had nothing to do with our reservation. The operator of the other property knew our names and booking details yet insisted it was the hotel we’d booked. Only after threatening to call the police did we get our money back. We were later told that such “fake hotel” incidents are apparently common around Delhi airport, with travelers being deliberately taken to other properties. I can only strongly warn other travelers and advise extreme caution.
