What is the context for this query?

In order to create a valid contract, one party must make an offer, another party must accept the offer, and consideration must be exchanged. The one who makes the offer is known as the “offerer,” while the person who receives the offer is called the “offeree.” Although you can make an offer with just a single-sentence verbal statement, you and the other party will generally benefit from a detailed written descriptttion of the offer and its terms.

An offer refers to a promise that is dependent on a certain act, promise, or forbearance given in exchange for the initial promise. It is a demonstration of your willingness to enter into an agreement and an invitation to the other party to conclude the agreement by expressing assent.

Accordingly it is not an offer.

For better knowledge go through Contract Act.

It is just an invitation to offer.

Hello, 

An offer is one party’s willingness to do or not do something to another person to acquire his approval on such expression. So, the acceptance of the offer by the latter results in a legally binding contract. It must be communicated to the intended recipient. However, there is something called as an Invitation to Offer. This is an act before an offer, in which one person induces another person to make an offer to him. So, therefore, you as a customer make the offer at the shop which may be accepted by the shopkeeper. Once the shopkeeper accepts your offer it results into a valid contract.

For better understanding, you can look through the differences between an offer and an invitation to offer.

This post is regarding the online cheating in hotel bookings through the Agoda booking.com, I have booked 5 rooms in�Jun 2022 for 3 nights with Katriya Hotel Hyderabad . The booking was made based on the star rating and the images posted in Agoda booking.com. We are really shocked�at the moment we entered the room after saw the filthy room and corridor, poor bathroom amenities, ugly toilets. There is no basic items like, bucket, mug, kettle, tea bags, sugar etc. which is not acceptable. We have�realized the cheating through the website images posted to attract customers to sell rooms with falls promise. We went to reception and reported the issue and requested to changing the rooms but the staff was irresponsible and no authority to solve the issues which is unfair. The hotel staff asked us to contact Agoda booking.com in case if�we wanted to change the rooms and refund to checkout from Katriya. But Agoda doesn't having any customer service in India and only available contact number is toll free number which is not in India. I have sent legal notice to Agoda though online legal India but they failed to proceed since July 2022 and I am not getting any proper reply on my emails. Can you please advise?
