There are other useful features in the app. This includes "Chat with us". Talk with the team if you have any problem which could not be settled.
Nevertheless, you could refer to the FAQ for your problem first :)

OYO REWARDING |
OYO is something great to share with friends! Above all, OYO rewards you for successfully inviting your friends to join! Your friend will get RM50 upon sign up which is equivalent to a free room stay as you can see some rooms only cost less than RM50! Well, you get RM10 upon their sign up and RM40 after their first stay! Both you and your friends get mutual benefit through the system and fair enough to all :) That's my sharing on OYO, I hope you guys will include my referral code EMILGQXSE upon sign up yeah :)
