My experience as a ‘franchisee’ partner of OYO is quite pathetic. In a short period of 4 months, close to Rs.125000/- of mine was stuck with OYO. There is no effort to resolve partner issues – making money vat the cost of partners will not last long.

I am trying to contact with oyo through email and phone so I can start business with them. I am not getting any response.
Please let me know what I should in this case. If starting is like that how I can trust on them in future.

OYO dupes hotels that’s where its maximum revenue comes from as it’s a net profit over and above the minimum 35% commission it gets from hotels. Ask any oyo property owner for testimony. Once they loot a hotel they go ahead and find other hotels/victims and do the same again.

In reply to Phil Harmonic. Thanks Phil for the feedback. You have raised some very good points here. OYO business model is fairly consistent either in the USA or India. OYO has positioned itself as a budget hotel/motel chain. They give visibility to low budget hotels that don't have access/resources (websites, capital to upgrade their rooms/services) to attract their target audience. As a result, low budget hotels have lower occupancy compared to other hotel chains. By default, these low budget hotels tend to be closer to airports or in the lower-income communities, but I think even budget hotels would appreciate a little upgrade or refresh ;) Will it work in the US market? It's still very early to tell if it's going to work for the USA market or not, so far stats suggest that they are growing aggressively in the USA. Oyo had started with one property in Dallas, Texas in 2018-2019. Within one year or so, - They have expanded to over 70 hotels in Texas alone. - Overall in the US, they have expanded to over 300 hotels and have served over 1 million customers so far.

OYO is an Indian accommodations model overlaid in the US which will never work. The idea of cheap rooms is good but they go into rundown motels and slap their logo on the motel, give the rooms a refresh all the while the motel is still in the worst areas and locations. 95% of their “affordable rooms” are in very questionable areas . Take a look on their website.
