Booked a hotel in tampa in 3/5/22-3/7/22 through Agoda website for a total of 508.00. Checked 3/5 no problems. 3/6 my husband and I woke up to frogs In the room. Call the front t desk the lady said no one is here to help me. I asked can she move us to another room she said they didn't have any available. So I contacted agoda letting them know what's going on. Representative requested I email pictures I did immediately. She said ok I have to contact the hotel. So she put me on hold I immediately went down stair. Spoke to th desk clerk she said that she can refund the money to Agoda right now. Which she did and show it to me and was nice to print it out. I looked at the receipt the rooms is only 120.00 a night. I said they charge me 508.00 she said never book through them. Remind you I'm still on hold agoda Representative came bacj on the line saying no one is answering the phone. I said I'm at the desk you haven't called. All I want is my money back she put me on hold again for 45 min. Came back saying I'm working on it. Then she came back and said we will refund you your money. I only stayed 1 night remind you the desk clerk told me the room was 120.00 they only sent me back 120 and keep the rest of my money and we had to go find another hotel after paying 508. The best day I receive an email from agoda saying for that one night I stayed they charge me 384 plus tax. I was really robbed by Agoda on my anniversaryI would have never paid 384 for 1 night at a hotels that's was only 120 a night.

This is a absolute shame of a "company" they book you the wrong dates for the wrong hotel, so that when it's "booked" they can slap on a non refundable tag on it so you are screwed! Please do NOT use agoda. Just contact the property themselves.

I reserved a heated tent on this website, and they informed me just one day before my check-in date (at the resort) that they would not be able to provide me with a heated tent. I requested a refund, but they refused and demanded that I need to provide a medical certificate if I want a complete refund.At last, they did not refund me back. They are completely useless. Please do not use this website to plan your holiday. You will just lose your money

I arrived around 10:30pm 2/4/2022, tired from a long drive. The lady at the front desk PUT me in this room. A room above the office so she knows where she put me. Maybe because it was a cheap rate, either way look at the pics! This is nastiest hotel I have ever stayed in and when I called down to her she was the rudest person you can imagine. Wyndham confirmed me getting a refund after seeing the pics. BUT AGODA IS NOT REFUNDING THE ROOM RATE. DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING THROUGH AGODA and definitely never stay at the DAYS INN IN ROCKY MOUNT, NC.

Asked for a Non Smoking room... didnt happen... so I asked for a voucher to maybe another hotel or a refund. Nope. Nor hotel worked with me or Agoda. So... In a room that is a smoking one currently pregnant with asthma. Have no extra funds and not from this city. CSR told me her hands were tied and couldn't help. I have a bed with stains and cigarette burns, with a smoke detector exposed of wires as someone ripped it out I suppose. What a night and I would never use Agoda if you are pregnant and have health issues.

2020 we suppose to go Germany but force to cancel due to Covid. Though we booked non refundable Agoda manage to get hotel operator to allow us to change date within 2 years with an email confirmation. However when we try to do the changes now, Agoda just simply bush it off and blame it on us ( claiming that we have canceled the booking) Agoda do not want to help at all. No more booking with Agoda!

Stay away...
March 1, 2022

Booked a room at a super 8 motel. 158.00 during the week. We got there and the motel was horrible. Walls with holes in them, dirt everywhere and the bathroom matt was black from who knows what. Anyway, no cancelation policy with agora. If you are selling a product, in this case a motel room, you should stand behind it. They got me this time but never again.

Did not honor their price match guarantee
March 1, 2022

I had booked a 3 night stay at the intercontinental hotel in Tahiti and after booking went to booking.com and noticed the same type room with breakfast for about $250 less. I was unable to cancel the reservation within an hour of making it and was not given the price difference because they claimed to not be able to as I had changed my email address which is still not corrected several days later. I would advise not using them instead use booking.com!

False advertising
February 25, 2022

We checked this site prior to booking, all seemed fine. Booked our vacation stay. Hotel description said double occupancy, ocean view, showed all amenities- microwave, kitchenette, etc. (I triple checked, as we required a kitchenette)
After a phone call to the hotel with other questions we learn out room is just a double room, they could not make changes as through a 3rd party. After calling AGODA we can change our room for more $$. A complete new fee. NO WHERE DOES IT SAY
ROOMS SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY OR MAY NOT VE AS ADVERTISED!
Needless to say we will never use this site again. They will not even own their errors!

We since have enquired about our refund due to cancellation a month ago and till today we have not been compensated our money. We were taken from pillar to post and our bank is saying there was no refund into the account we used to pay.

Y'all scared me! But great price, great hotel.
February 25, 2022

After I booked a Maine hotel for 4 nights with a price $30 less than Priceline had, I checked the reviews of Agoda. They were awful! Oh no! But it helped that I have booked this hotel many times previously for a very good price through Priceline so I knew they offered second party sites at a low price. I then double checked through the hotel's brand to make sure the booking was legit. It was, I was happy, it's worth a try!

100% scam alert here. I booked a room they stated has 1 queen and 1 double murphy. It had 1 double murphy. I was left with no recourse because the property says they don't book direct or handle the charge. I'm out all the money and had a terrible experience! There is no customer service number and Agoda chat tells you to reply to the email you received your booking confirmation from. You will not get a reply if you do this. 100% scam guys I can't stress that enough!

Overbooked
February 20, 2022

I booked for a weekend at Orlando. When we arrived to the booked hotel after a full day at Universal Studios we found out Agoda.com overbooked us in the hotel. We booked on a Thursday night and the hotel said they were sold out from Tuesday at least. We called to Agoda customer service, they said they weren't able to contacted the hotel and they will give me a refund and 10% cash back for the inconvenience. We called to several hotels around and everywhere was sold out, we had to drive back at 11:30pm and cancel our weekend trip!
The people from the hotel counter said this website was overbooking their place several times before us.

Poor Customer Service
February 20, 2022

We booked one room through Agoda. When we reached at booked hotel, they told no rooms available. We didn't get any cash back. No way to contact Agoda customer care... No responsibility. Very poor... Very disappointed. We are planning to raise a complaint regarding online cheeting.

Terrible

Do not use. When the USA wouldn't let tourists in, they initially said I could change my hotel dates. Then backtracked and refusing any kind of date move or refund. Customer services are useless

Scam artists
February 15, 2022

Booked a room. Had a timer on the checkout to rush you. Wouldn't take my first credit card, so had to scramble for another card. After finally checking out noticed in the email it was for the wrong month. They would not charge it online or on the phone and basically said eat the hundreds you just spent
