How it works

Rickshaw drivers and touts at Hospet station and in Hampi Bazaar steer tourists to specific guesthouses where they earn a commission, claiming their recommended property is the only one with availability or that your pre-booked guesthouse is "closed" or "flooded." Actual availability is rarely checked.
