TREEBO hotels is BIG RED FLAG FOR ALL FOREIGNERS
That is the way how TREEBO welcomes their foreign guests: they fail to follow the foreigners registration's laws, but it will be YOU who they easily get rid of by offering you downgrade, shifting you to another hotel at some outskirts at your own cost or simply by cancelling your booking all of a sudden with a partial refund only. And then you find yourself suddenly packing your stuff, quickly making a new hotel reservation, moving your luggage late at night, covering all taxi costs by yourself instead of all your previous plans. Doesn't it sound amazing to you, does it?!
Treebo hotel where we stayed wasn't able to provide us C Forms that are an absolute must and a requirement of the Indian government. We contacted even the support team of the chain Treebo to receive the forms.
Their solutions were:
1. Downgrade to a hotel (cheaper one) where we should move by taxi ourselves at own cost the same day as that another hotel could make C Forms. But that location wasn't convenient for us and 40 minutes taxi ride in Bangalore traffic could easily take more than one hour. So, complete waste of time and money and the feeling that it is only us who should suffer and lose time, money for that Treebo's failure to comply with the Indian laws, basically for breaking the laws and their illegal actions.
2. Cancellation of our booking the same day when only one night passed from our 3 nights stay. We preferred this option. So, they decided to get rid of us (read: possible government fines up to 50 000 INR for their illegal actions).
After some fight per phone with one of their representatives (again our time wasted) they agreed to refund only 50% for all that damage that they had caused: we chose this hotel due to the location only (we needed to be in that area), we had to leave the hotel on the 2nd day of our stay (we booked 3 nights), we had to leave late in the evening, pack our stuff, find a new proper hotel ourselves, make a booking, pay again, move and wait for their refund of course as it takes time.
TREEBO puts you under risk and at the same time makes you the only responsible for all their mistakes. "Outstanding hospitality". So, please avoid TREEBO hotels as much as you can for your own safety and health.
