OYO Check-In Rules: OYO Hotels in India is not only popular among the youth, but its demand is very high in every city of the country. The common belief among people about OYO is that unmarried couples go there the most. As the year 2025 begins, OYO has taken a new step in changing this perception. Now according to the new rules of OYO, unmarried couples will no longer be able to book rooms. Let us tell you that OYO has recently started a new check-in policy for its partner hotels and this rule will be applicable from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh.
Entry of unmarried couple banned in OYO
OYO has revised the check-in rules for partner hotels and introduced new guidelines from this year. The new rule states that unmarried couples can no longer check-in at OYO hotels. Actually, OYO has implemented a new rule for Meerut city of Uttar Pradesh. Under this rule, now unmarried couples will not be allowed to check-in at OYO hotels. OYO officials said that now couples who book hotels will have to show valid documents during online or offline booking. The move is aimed at respecting local social sensitivities and law and order. OYO has given its partner hotels the right to reject couples’ bookings at their discretion.
The rule will be implemented from this city of UP
OYO has directed its partner hotels to immediately implement this policy in Meerut. According to sources, if the impact of this policy remains good, the company may consider implementing it in other cities as well. OYO had earlier received feedback from civil society groups from some other cities, including Meerut, demanding that it not allow unmarried couples to check-in. The company said it also aims to promote longer stays and repeat bookings.
That’s why OYO took this step
Speaking to PTI, Pavas Sharma, Regional Head, OYO North India, said, “OYO is committed to maintaining safe and responsible hospitality. We respect individual freedoms and personal rights, but at the same time we respect the law and civil society. We also recognize the responsibility to work with groups to review this policy and its impact from time to time.” The company said that this initiative has been brought to change the old perception. These rules have been brought in to provide a safe experience for families, students, business, religious and solo travelers. Apart from this, this rule is being made to improve the image of the brand.
