Hi, I hope this review can help somebody... I run a hotel since 6 months, never wanted to go with agoda.
The previous owner had an account with the old hotel name. Apparently, but this I cannot certify, he contacted agoda to close the old account.
I also contacted agoda many times to tell them the account needs to be closed.
We are now in full season, since 6 months nothing has been done and customers are arriving here as they booked through agoda on the old hotel. They also of course paid upfront.
Agoda is not doing anything despite me sending lots of e-mails, not even sure they are giving you the money back. Well done agoda.
Agoda needs to make up their mind. How much they charge 17% or 23%? You just don't know how much they are going to charge. At first, the rates look ok, when you check out, boomed. https://twitter.com/htut82/status/**************
This is the first time using Agoda. Easy, efficient, fast
Trusted and reliable and very good bargain for hotels room rate, my thumbs up
Ust finished trying to book a place through Agoda... I have used them before (ok. Though communication/hard to reach... a big issue) This time they were a disaster; with, I'm quite sure, an attempt to scam me, which they did. Here is their angle, if you are like most, "booking now pay later".: When you go to pay, a few days before the penalty date (usually 3 days) AND if the place you have booked is not in big demand, you are OK. In our case it was other... the place we booked Grand Inn (Jalan Penang) Penang, we found out later was in demand... and so when I went to pay, I could not get Agoda to take payment on their online site... Timed out well before time... 10 times. They cancelled my booking... I could never get them on phone. I did get my money back, but they are trying to keep the booking fee. SCAM ALERT
I have used Agoda on several occasions and find them very professional and helpful.
Their prices are always very competitive, and their customer service team are extremely efficient in resolving any problems.
Would not hesitate to use them again and recommend Agoda to my friends.
I travel a lot on business but normally these are one or two nights stay, Agoda provides me enough information with regards to the hotel and the area its in in order for me to quickly do my bookings, it provides me the best rates and a convenient manner to select and manage my bookings.
Thank you Agoda. Yesterday I booked a room and made the mistake of not taking the Book now & Pay later option. Once I realized this, I emailed Agoda and told them what had happened. This morning I had a reply giving me information as how to correct this error.
I have now made a new booking using the Book now & Pay later option. So, thank you for extra good service.
I've used this service a few times and always with excellent results. Easy to use and accurate every time soon far. I'll use it again next trip in the area.
I live in Thailand and always use AGODA when visiting Bangkok or any other nearby Asian countries. I have tried others over the years but will always come back to AGODA. Only one problem is that i have lost my pass word so cannot register my bookingd for the points benifit.
One of the easiest sites to use with no hidden extras and with the best price.
Agoda guarantees the lowest price, even lower than directly booking to the hotels. I like their book now and pay later deal and I use Agoda for all my hotel booking needs.
Be sure to check out and compare prices with Agoda before booking.
Have generally found better prices here in the 5 years that I've been using the site.
Hotels booked so far have been thoroughly evaluated and have lived up to expectations.
Always easy and convinience to book hotel room by Agoda, I just booked 1 room for my son who will transit in Honolulu - Hawaii next week.
Search few major websites and Agoda still provides best deal of all... next time will not waste my time on other website.
Very good comparison and informative, linked to trip adviser. Highly recommended
I am a customer since a couple of years. It is just easy to book the hotel. Never had to worry as every hotel knew agoda.
Answer: I didn't know that? I have had the best deals from them and I find them very helpful.
Answer: I don't bother making lists just search for where I am going and select the best deal for at least 1 mth before its needed and keep track of prices
Answer: You maybtry the resort website http://thecliffresort.com.vn and check the payment method. I got a better rate thru agoda, so did not contact the resort directly. The photos in agoda and resort web truly reflect the rooms and facility. http://thecliffresort.com.vn
Answer: For me as well very bad experience with this site. The administrator failed to confirm my booking in the evening, claiming they could not see it in their system and stating that the reserved room was unavailable, despite all the correct booking information being provided. Instead, they offered me a different room. At 10 PM on December 31st, traveling with a child, I had no choice but to agree and pay again for the alternative room. I immediately reported the issue to Agoda for assistance. The room we were given was in an unacceptable condition: it was dirty, there were holes in the bathroom walls, and mold was visible. It was nowhere near the standard described in the booking. The following morning, a different administrator located my original booking and refunded the payment for the additional room. However, they falsely claimed that I had stayed in the room I originally booked. This is not true—the room I stayed in differed significantly from the description and photos provided at the time of booking. Despite providing all necessary evidence, Agoda has refused to support my complaint, stating that the hotel confirmed my booking, which does not address the poor service, the forced additional payment, or the unacceptable condition of the room. This experience demonstrates an appalling lack of customer care from both the hotel and Agoda. As a customer, I feel my rights were ignored, and no proper resolution was provided. I expect Agoda to take accountability and address this issue properly, as this level of service is completely unacceptable.
Answer: Well, you probably need to call the customer service online or send them email from Agoda to get a reply. I feel that it was in vain to look for any help or compensation once your reservation has been done. Even the you overlooked some tricky information, Agoda will completely ignore what you said and push the blame to the hotel/property or the users. That is how I feel after trying so sort our the issue. Once a mistake is made, we probably can only eat it. Never expect they will admit any misinformation on line.
