Accommodation Scams in Jaipur

Fake Hotel and Guesthouse Redirect

When tourists arrive at Jaipur Junction railway station or by bus at Sindhi Camp, touts claiming to be representatives of legitimate hotels intercept them and insist their booked accommodation has "closed," "flooded," or "overbooked." They offer to take the tourist to an "equivalent" property — always a higher-commission guesthouse with inflated rates. Victims often lose pre-paid deposits at the original hotel when pressured to abandon their booking.
