I got an email saying the booking has been confirmed. Got to the hotel and they inform me no reservation is made. Ring agoda and the rude staff said we did not send an email so they have no more rooms available'. I said so what do I do now?! They said relocation or refund. At 3am I said where do I sleep! Give me relocation. It has now been 1 hour 20 mins and I'm still waiting for the relocation. Disgusting. It's almost 5am. I'm so annoyed angry and hurt. Shocked.
$#*!house website, happy to make your booking easy but when wanted to change dates due to an emergency, there is no way of making contact with them. Panheads over in singapore running the show. Absolute $#*!! Do not support these cockheads ring hotels directly
I TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO CANCEL MY BOOKING WHICH IS WEEKS AWAY BUT IT ALWAYS RETURNS TO "SOMETHING WENT WRONG" POP-UP... I TRIED CONTACTING THEIR CHAT SUPPORT BUT IT ENDS CHAT WHEN I SAY CANCELATION. WTF IS GOING ON? WHY ARE YOU SCAMMING PEOPLE?
I had a big issue with my room in London and they contacted me within 24 hours to solve the matter. They issued a full refund and their support team was just awesome.
Agoda refused to give the invoice from hotel which payed. No repayment of expense later for me fie their reduse.
Something was wrong with my booking ID and it didnt work. So i tried calling/chatting but the thing is you need a booking ID to do that. So I emailed and asked for a refund. No reply so far.
I booked room with 2 beds in hostel in venice but the hostel recieved booking with 5 beds.
That was in venice during the floods and the customer service was not helpfull untill booking.com steped in and gave me some refund.
Dont book anything thurogh agoda!
Don't use agoda.
They process your payment and then bear no responsibility if the hotel is not as described. They wont refund you unless the owner agrees and they will believe the owner no matter what, how scmmy is that.
I booked a hotel reservation with AGODA.COM for Jun 25,2020 to Jun 28,2020. When I refreshed the page, it preset to Aug 25,2019 to Aug 28,2019 (the same day I logged on) which is intentionally listed as "Free Cancellation" with hidden non-refundable policy under that button. After realized that I booked an incorrect date, I contacted them immediately and they promised to inform the hotel to change the date.
After more than a week, they charged my credit card claiming that the hotel refused to change it. They showed the email they sent to the hotel requesting the change, but it showed the same date without any changes!
THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!
Booked a hotel for Venice. It's under water, we have pictures but they refused to refund our stay. Said the hotel claims to be 100 percent operational. But they didn't have the food or ability to make it as promised with their free breakfast. They had standing water in the hotel. It smelled like fish in the entire hotel.
Awful Customer service as trying to get help is a missing and a half. Documents sent don't have any information on it. If you are booking within a company i would advise not using this company
I booked accommodation in Auckland near the airport. I found a great apartment for our family of 5. The price on the Agoda website was $150 for the night. So I booked it but wasn't charged straight away. But when it came out of my account they charged $224.50. I rang Agoda as the host name and number wasn't on the email booking confirmation. Agoda said that they could see the website booking was for $150 and because it was the advertised price we could get a refund but first we had to email the confirmation. So I did that, then they wanted proof from a bank statement. So I gave a screenshot of our bank statement and the amount that came out. Then that wasn't enough because it was in the name of the host not Agoda. We didn't want to email a detailed bank statement which shows all our bank numbers and details. Two phone calls three emails and sitting on hold. Still not resolved!
I got confirmation of booking and the next very day without my consent my booking got cancelled by Agoda and mentioned that booking is cancelled on mg request. Terrible experience where customer is left with no option but to pay more and mentally disturbed.
Never will use Agoda(dot)com in my life again. Such frauds should go begging on Indian streets. At least those beggers have some integrity and they do that for survival.
I had booked two rooms in Chennai and paid thru credit card. To my horror, the property manager did not allow our check-ins. This despite the fact his system had our names and payment details. His problem - he hates Agoda(dot)com because there are some pending payments, which is long overdue. He would have given us accommodation had we paid him directly instead of Agoda. Amazingly, Agoda's so-called customer Care' Indian numbers are all non-functional. I tried calling the UK number too and when the booking ID is entered, the call gets disconnected!
My family and I were stranded until we could arrange for an alternative stay. During this unpleasant & trying times, we missed attending the wedding we had gone for! All of us went so late for the marriage, it seemed that we were there only to show-up we indeed travelled to Chennai from Bangalore.
Agoda is more of a hustler rather than a honest, upfront site.
Typical issues:
- Click somewhere, and the booking dates will be changed
- Remove the Agoda cash redemption
- No clear formula on arriving to a final price
- If I go through travelocity, the prices are lower
You have to be on the alert all the time. It's like dealing with a predator.
It is an excellent place for staying. There is a very beautiful environmen. I was staying there with my famil. There is resturent service is very good. Food peice is very cheap. I love this place very much.
Totally horrible. I accidentally cancel a non-cancellable booking 3 hours after booking, how can it even go? They keep my money and I get no accommodation. Agoda says it will help but me but then blames the hotel for not approving this. I contacted the hotel who absolutely think Agoda should fix it as it was a mistake. Calls Agoda again which says that the hotel again says that the hotel does not approve of this, stop lying and offer some kind of understanding and customer service. They say they understand that they were mistakes. Absolutely horrible customer service and I will never book through the site again.
I booked 2rooms with Agoda... unfortunately they charged me twice and refuse to make a refund saying I confirmed twice... which I absolutely did not
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.
