I hate to say this. I have been a good Agoda customer (ID *******136 I planned my holiday since 17 March 2016 and got a good rate with Agoda then. Agoda have no right to cancel my booking ref. ID *******. Not even any attempt to call me on phone to confirm prior to the cancellation. Although Agoda have sent me an e-mail notification on 27 April 2016 to inform that they could not charge my card. Bear in mind not everyone have access to their mail all the time but at least have courtesy to call me on phone or sms whatsoever. Particularly for super peak season like that it is not surprising for Agoda to do so because of the higher demand and better rate gained. All I can say is Agoda have no mercy for customer. I call up Agoda to reinstate my booking but was told all booking full. At least allow me to charge my card upon check-in. Imagine the anxiety caused not being able to get any hotel accomodation at the very last minute. I demand for a written explanation for this grave inconveniences caused.
I went through Trip Advisor - can't believe they send you to this site - booked a hotel - gave them my credit card.
Then they send me an email saying that they want to confirm my credit card by doing a small charge. Then they ask me to confirm the small charge. Ok I do it. Then, immediately they send through the large charge.
Every bank's fraud detection software looks for small charges followed by large charges - that's how people who steal credit card numbers verify the card is good.
Of course my bank declined the large charge then notified me. Within hours this site cancelled my reservation at a fully booked property and I am left with little options.
I can't believe these morons are still in business and am now looking poorly at Trip Advisor for directing me there.
I am using agoda.com for more than a year already. It is the best and cheapest way to book hotels worldwide
I made an advance booking in agoda but a month before the booking date, I cancelled the booking and asked for the refund, they informed me it will take 30 business days, 1 month, 2months passed I followed up and they said its on its way. They gave me an ARN code which according to them will help me track my refund from my bank. I went to my bank and they couldn't help me. Guess what, 6months passed still NO REFUND! I sent another email after several followup emails in the past and you know what? Same response! All they can give me is that $#*!ty ARN code with no use at all. Even without that code, i should have been credited already! Never will I use this company EVER again! Aside from the rates not really as truthful when you actually book to the hotel, they have bad customer service and they are just a bunch of scammers!
Stayed for a night at Vermillion in Talisay, Bacolod. Very disappointing. The place is old, the room looks like an old hospital room. It doesn't feel safe to stay in this place.
I have reserved a room for my wife and sister-in-law from travel agent in Jakarta. It was clear in online reservation when is Check-in and Check-out, also the length of stay. But, when they arrived at the hotel and do register processes, Agoda has never confirmed or gave the guest details to hotel administration. And the worst thing is, they can stay in the hotel for four hours. I have filled the date of C/I and C/O so why they can stay for four hours. Furthermore, the customer service didn't understand or may be need more training how to deal with customer.
Agoda listed a Hotel as a 3 star. When we arrived in Japan the hotel was the worst Hotel we have ever been to... We walked out and booked another room with Expedia.
I called Agoda and they would only refund 2 of the 3 nights.
How can you trust a Hotel chain that falsely advertises a 1 star hotel as a 3 star.
I've used Agoda more than a dozen times now. Their reviews are always accurate and the process is quick an easy. It can be difficult to find places in Asia--especially the Philippines--that accepts American Express but Agoda handles it without a problem.
Had been using Agoda.com for a long time...
I bet they're priorities are customers retaliation, as I dad put u a few requests over the years an they did them flawlessly. Sometimes I even tried to pis them off a bit and they still able to take it. I recommended the Singapore Customer Services (5-five patient).
Her hat there are sightly cheaper deals out in the market but Agoda.com will always be the site that I booked my hotels. Easy and fast to navigate, hotel map location are 95% accurate, no hidden charges with full prices shown u on the selection area except the country Taxes which will be shown when u about to pay. Another fact is they're prices are very good and does include rewards points after u have completed your stay. They even include free points when u write good/bad reviews. This review has no rewards for me and I wrote these because I a satisfied happy customer. Just done a booking and I just claimed a $560 cash off by using the rewards points system!
10/10 recomended to my friends and family!
I have been your loyal client for 7 years and find it very easy and friendly to use it.
Love it. Thanks AGODA
Agoda is truly an intuitive and very friendly site to make travel arrangements through. The site is extremely thorough, easy to read/understand and quick to complete the arrangements. I would definitely encourage other travelers to consider Agoda for their travel needs.

A great no fuss booking site - love the easy to follow lead in information, instructions and clear accommodation pricing and information layout.
I had been searching most of the evening for the best deal, got frustrated with other sites, their prices increasing and changing every time I viewed their site.
So saw a pop up dialog box with other sites and decided to look up Agoda - Yay! A winner.
Agoda provides great and accurate information for the hotels throughout the whole world. Through reviews from other travelers about hotels we are looking at, it helps in decision making. On top of that, as Agoda member we can enjoy special insider rate! That's my favorite!
Its my first time stay in miri with my family and i chose Imperial Hotel. I am interested with its one bedroom apartment instead of hotel room because i am bringing my family of 5
It was nice experience with ease to book and got good rates compared on other website
I get better price in agoda than other similar websites. Agoda also provide more room options than other websites.
Great experience.
I always book by hotels through Agoda be it for business or leisure and they have never failed me. Reliable and efficient, thumbs up ;)
I ready lot of bad thing about AGODA. But first thing is after done the booking we need to double comfirm with the hotel that we book thru agoda. For me i have fantasic moment with 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.
