I booked a resort with different room type which was superior hill view through agoda.and then I confirmed with the resort just to double check on booking.I got to know that they (agoda) have booked a twin room for me instead of superior hill view. On Agoda website, there is nothing mentioned about twin type bed under superior category.I called the agoda team and raised the query and explained everything about confusion they have about categories. Agoda team connected with resort internally and they raise a wrong request to resort that customer wanted to change the room type to superior (screen shot shared with me by resort coordinator) which was highly mismatched.why would I request to change the room when I booked a right one and the glitch from agoda side. According to the website we did the right booking. But now struggling to get right room for right booking according to their information and mentioned in the website.also resort coordinator confirmed that they have not open few room for online booking still it was showing in Agoda.
Overall, the information displayed on agoda website is totally vague.and lead to misguide. If you book through agoda you have to check and confirm with resort also you just can't sit relax and will end up cancelling bookings.

Worst experience ever
April 14, 2023

I booked the a Hotel in Prague. On arrival at the hotel they denied having any booking at all with my name or the booking reference number. They even said they have never received any booking confirmation from Agoda for the booking. I had to call continuously call Agoda support which took me around 10 euro of international calls, 2 hours of long hold & embracement sitting there in the reception area (as there was no booking for me).

I asked Agoda support team to book an alternate hotel. Which they should have done from their end as this clearly seems to be their mistake. But they did not do it. Even though those hotels I could see available in Agoda itself.

Considering the easter holiday most of the hotel prices were high or rest are overpriced for the last minute booking. I booked a different hotel, which initially I asked Agoda support team to book & also from Agoda app (With a higher fare last minute).
I had to take a cab again to the new hotel. Change all my schedule as I was already 3 hour late with all these hassle.

To Agoda credit they paid me the difference. Which they just could have booked on my behalf.
To my credit I trusted again Agoda for the second time and booked from them (In my defence I was booking again from Agoda wishing a full refund from them)

Hope the Agoda team book a hotel and face the same situation. Then they might understand.

WORST EVER - CAREFUL!
April 14, 2023

They offer great prices and market their products very well; visuals and content are very aggressive and efficient. I was extremely happy with them until they didn't honor a cancellation already approved
It is the WORST customer service ever - recommend you check reviews on facebook and other chats before using them.
Different agents kept approaching, and none knew what the other had written. They Keep you busy and confused so you will get tired and quit while they keep your money against their own policies. After each time one of them wrote; you get 2 emails asking how was the service - it is so absurd and obvios, it is even funny! I am convinced they think we, the customers; are dumb to treat us like that.
After seeing the worst of them; happy to return to Airbnb, Expedia and other more reliable companies with better ratings, which have proven honesty and reliability in all affairs.
Remember cheap things can turned into the most expensive!
I was lucky and found out how they work with a small amount - can't imagine how much money people have lost to them.

I had to change my credit card number as the original was compromised by some online users. I notified Agoda of the change but their system could not update my CC number. In stead they asked me to establish a new account number, to which they would transfer my reservations. This process took several calls and many weeks. But to my horry, when I arrived at my hotel in Japan, Agoda had automatically CANCELLED all my reservations, each and every all subsequent reservations. I made several expensive international calls to Agoda but to no avail. Fortunately, I was able to convince the hotel to allow me to stay in their spare emergency room. I have used Agoda for many years, but now I WILL NEVER USE AGODA AGAIN.

Do not use this company. I tried to cancel in less that 24 hrs to no avail. Agoda was saying I have to cancel with the property (hotel), hotel was saying it was agora I have to cancel with since they are the one that did the booking. After Agoda charged my credit card which is way before the check in date, they sent me a cancellation policy of 363 days prior.

Wouldn't refund money
April 12, 2023

I booked a 2 night trip for our wedding anniversary. I am disabled. My husband became very ill, we were unable to travel, and no allowances were made for us. Agoda did not request any documentation in regard to our circumstances, and did not care in the least about our particular situation.

A SCAM AND A THEFT!
April 11, 2023

I tried to contact Agoda through the customer support and cancellation option, but since it was ignored I decided on this approach.
Agoda, it is very hard even to start expressing how disappointed I am. I have been your loyal customer for a long time and never before had experienced the situation like this. Following the info from the application, we arrived at the address of tonight's accomodation and it turned out to be a completely empty and derelict building. We paid for the accomodation in advance through the application with the card. There was absolutely no answer to my email, which I sent way in advance, or any kind of communication from the owner. The neighbours told me the owners moved away to England long time ago and they already had the situations like this for tourists looking for this place but when they tried to call them the phones of the owners were not active anymore. I already had the problem with my card being overcharged for the accomodation in Sarajevo but this brings scam on the next level. But then the real disappointment began. I contacted Agoda's customer service with the hope to find the solution to this situation. The agent wrote it will take 10 to 30 minutes to review my issue and yet we waited for HOURS without any answer! I was already badly sick and they let me and my girlfriend to wait for HOURS in cold and dark! Now my health is completely ruined and I am not able to continue my trip and will have to spend a lot of money for a recovery in a foreign country! I waited for the solution but since none was given I have to go to the police to report this scam.
I expect Agoda to give us full refund for this booking, and in addition to that a monetary compensation for the ruined health and all the shock and trauma we went through tonight.

I have booked collection O ******* Hemadri Residency 2days before journey from KSR Bengaluru City railway station. I have paid Rs.200 for Auto to rich there 3.7km from railway station but after reach hotel the staff asking for additional Rs. 600 per day additional & very rude behaviour of staff please take care what you are booked 3rd class staff behaviour that I do not want to stay free also. After trying to reach Agoda customer service to lodge the compliant there is no option to reach. So don't trust Agoda & don't spent money & time to reach this kind of hotel because they don't bother about you and your family very risky to visit this kind of hotel with family.

It's almost like when you go to a store shopping and looking for sale prices but what they really do is they rack up the price and then put a sale price on there and all actuality you're still paying more and there is no sale on it that's exactly what this aguda site does is a falsely advertise a price click on it and go to check out you have promotions discounts somehow you still paying way more I could have gone to other sites probably paid less they are fraudulent and scam artists

Agoda spent 2 days being obtuse and downright dishonest to make sure they didn't have to repay and keep the cancellation money. Sadly this is policy.

Scammers company
April 4, 2023

Property - Omkar wellness inn (Goa)

Worst behaviour trust me these rooms management are Scammers. At first we booked here for 6 rooms before 2 months to check in date obviously at that time price was less and days came near while 10 days left to check in I had called manager to ask some details at that time he is saying we can't give u accommodation for this property because of less price what nonsense is this I booked 2 months before coz I get for cheaper price at that time they took booking now all these drama that property manager name "Sushant" is doesn't respond to guest property he speaks rude just before check in these people hospitality is so worst what if I had checked in and got this type of hospitality. I booked through agoda they are just waste less company they can't do anything than apologise. This property manger doesn't have manners to inform guest regarding accommodation. Assume wat if I had reached property with 12 guests and got stuck in this situation horrible thank god it didn't happen like that. I would have given zero stars for this scammers but no option. At last I would surely not recommend this property to anyone. I have a travelling team each one of them going yo raise google review and sue in consumer complaint for this worst behaviour from property side.

Property manager - Scammers
Agoda - Nonsense company

Basically a scam
April 3, 2023

If I can rate them 0 star I would do but I can't put a review with out sadly put a star. Guys be careful of this scam, they cheated us and canceled our reservation after booking 5 month in advance and they are saying we want your credit card and is ID PICTURES ( which sadly we sent) still they canceled our reservation so they can sell it for higher rate at the last minute and they told us if we want we can re book on triple the price! Very concerning website and representative talk like a robot and do nothing beside cheating you! They ruined our very expensive vacation for over seas I hope there will be some legal work against them as they are really a full scam! Please be aware and don't go through the fraud we went through!

Never again
April 2, 2023

They take the money and yet in case of dispute tell you that it's the hotel that needs to agree to refund! How tough is it to accept that you are cheating your consumers. What's a process or a policy if it doesn't have the customers interest at hand?

THEY WONT ADMIT THEIR MISTAKES AND BLAME IT ON ME BECAUSE I CAN'T PROVIDE A SCREENSHOT OF A PHONECALL DONE +5 MONTHS AGO
I booked with them (sadly) a room for Dec 2022 and due to personal reasons called them on Oct 2022 before going through surgery and asked them to cancel, assumed they did their job and my mistake didn't double check (which I shouldn't have to anyway) turned out they never cancelled! I found out when I was charged a no show fee for $830 USD. Called them told them this wasn't right and I have been trying to solve this since then. They claim they have no record of my phone call (of course why would they have a record of their mistakes) and that I only called them on DEC (when I was charged) and by that time I was outside their cancellation policy. I've tried escalating this with every team possible, it's been 3 months of going back and forth with no success at all, so tired of this and so stressed because of it.
Submitted a complaint on BBB they contacted me and asked me for a screenshot of my call (it was 5 months ago) I don't have it, therefore I'm wrong...not only they are charging me for something they shouldn't (because someone didn't do their job) I'm so stressed out because of this I've invested so many times sending documents talking to them, my bank, the hotel etc etc they are hurting me financially and emotionally.
They won't really look into anything just Oh you don't have that, sorry then you are wrong and we coincidentally don't have the record of you contacting us before December so it's your fault.
I will never ever use this service again, I'll make sure I share my experience with as many people as possible and even though I'm tired of this I will keep fighting the charge because it is the right thing to do, I'm not paying for their mistakes.

Scammed warning.! Please do not give your bank details to Agoda. Agoda has joined with some other travel scammers agents one of them called Nusatrip they stole my money and charged my booking with multiple taxes, so they all took a profit from my money. They don't tell you at the beginning until they stole the money then show the other company name. One of them is called NUSATRIP his name is Abdullah Syafei. It's shown on my receipt. And he used my phone number. Please be aware. I hope some people will take the to justice for stealing a lot of customers' money. I have all the proof and be careful once you book return tickets, they will only give you one way. So they're expecting you to book another ticket.? That's how they make easy money. They are a bunch of scammers. Agoda bad reputation for you, scammers.! Thumbs down
