“Platform for pleasant voyage”

Seenvik H.
3/15/24

When i had a trip to Egypt, I worked with this website. Basically it's all in one solution because here you can book a flight, book a hotel or place for kinda private stay, plus they are generous enouhg to give some atteactive coupons. Other than that, here you can even buy tickets for ferry, trains, airport transfers and rent a car. That is the reason why I consider it as a platform packed up with all necessary things for having pleasant voyage.

“Large-scale scam”

Laurence C.
1/10/24

I have never visited the Agoda.com website or made a booking with them. However, agoda.com managed to debit a large sum of money from my account via another site on which I wanted to make a purchase. This site is 100% fraudulent and dishonest. Customer service is no help at all and asks for personal information to help you in order to rip you off even more. NEVER USE THEIR SERVICE

Just had another memorable celebration at my family's favorite hotel-Okada Manila last Oct 30-31,2020. After 4 rebookings due to the covid 19 pandemic lockdown we finally had our much awaited delayed quarantine birthday celebration at Okada Manila. More than the elegant ambience, its the consistent warm, homey feeling and special treatment that we receive from the staff that make every visit exciting and more thrilling everytime! We will keep coming back for more as we continue to make beautiful memories of our family celebrations here. We love Okada Manila very much! Till next time!

Paid 5900 per night through Agoda.
Provided PRESIDENTIAL room with RO water filled bottles, no valley view, no toiletries (shaving Kit, dental kit).
The same room is otherwise available for 3.1 to 3.5k directly or through different websites.
I couldn't make out for what service/amenities/luxury in 10 x 10 room, I was charged ~6K by Agoda. The spatial room which appears in pics is totally deceptive. Far better luxurious rooms betwen 3.5 to 4k available in nearby luxury hotels.
This 4 star snow valley resort located out of manali Himachal pradesh doesn't know about
1. Disposable slippers
2. Clean glasses wrapped in sterilized covers
Agoda cheat people

Seeing the price comparison from the official hotel site, I took a 'to hell with it' stance and had booked a nonrefundable option in early February through Agoda. It was my first third party booking and was pleasantly surprised with the whole hassle free service. I enjoyed my vacation, the user expierience and definitely would recommend the site.

I had to give him a star in order to say that his cancellation policy has language that is in favor of them. I was charged 10 days before I arrived at the Hotel, you have no way of talking directly to them until you tell them that you will report them to the relevant agencies and there they are not much help either. We must take this to all the communication networks given by deception and more with us. WHEN DO WE MAKE THE GROUP AND REPORT IT? And I'm willing to go all the way to the last achievement

On 11/18/2022, I scheduled a fun Aunt weekend and booked a large 2 queen bed room well in advance for 1/13/2023 through Agoda. The goal for the room was the kids to stay overnight and be able to swim then we eat pizza and read scary stories at bedtime. I called the hotel several times between date of booking and arrival to ensure the pool was functioning. We get there...Everyone piles in all their stuff and I tell them they can get in their bathing suits once we get to the room...Sorry Pool is Out of Order. WHAT!? I had to scramble around, find a new hotel night of so of course at a much higher price and cancel the old room. The policy was no refund, but I called anyway to see if anything could be done. The very professional and courteous Agoda rep walked me through everything and placed me on hold while he called the hotel to speak with the manager. The manager explained everything and the Agoda rep popped back on informing me that I would get my funds back in about 3 business days. I truly appreciate the help and now you've got me for life. We will always book our small and big trips through Agoda. :)

Using this site since 2008 and booked dozens of hotels per yr for personal travel. I love this site, they have great layout, ample room pics vs other sites I use. Some challenges i faced like accidental booking (my fault), double booking (my fault too), using wrong credit card (my fault again). But have always gotten them resolved nicely. The latest being trip cancellation (Apr 2020) due to Covid, they blanket all the hotel bookings and updated the FREE CANCELLATION policy to make it easier for guests to shift plans. This also lessen the CS burden, so kudos to Agoda! U are my fav hotel booking site! My only dismay is agoda removing the points system gathered from room reviews. But otherwise still great and will continue my support!

I made an error when booking a non-refundable flight and ended up with a ticket departing from the wrong city. I sent an email explaining my mistake to customer support and within an hour I had an assurance that they'd requested a cancellation from the airline (and I could contact the airline directly to check on the progress of that request). They then followed up with an email confirming that the cancellation was successful, no further action required, and that I could expect a refund in the next 30 days. I was expecting I'd have to fight for a refund, but everything was just resolved with minimal fuss, and I now have purchased the tickets I actually needed.

Tip for consumers:
The site uses your location data to autofill some fields. If you are using a VPN, make sure to double check that your tickets are for your actually city and not the city your VPN is hosted in.

I was a bit worried about booking with Agoda after reading the negative reviews on here but decided to try them to book the hotels for my recent holiday. The price they offered compared to other websites was so much cheaper. Everything went smoothly from booking to receiving my confirmation. Money was taken out of my account on the day they specified. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. I printed out my confirmation and presented this on arrival at the hotels with no problems. I would definitely use Agoda again. Easy to use and hard to beat prices.

How often can you find a hotel in ANY city with early AM check in the hours past midnight!? I'm arriving at 3am in DXB, so waiting till 12 pm is out of the question. Those Sleep N Fly time listings are inflexible & overpriced, most hotels are inflexible regarding check in regardless of price. When Kayak displayed that rarity (but special price good if booked within the next few minutes) Agoda was the only booking site shown, so I acted quickly. At first, there was a glitch with my preferred payment method that could have derailed the time limit, I kept repeating the attempts without success, also it took extra time to reduce the file size of required documents for a successful upload. My Amex CC had over $7000 available credit, I couldn't understand why the repeated rejections, so I used the chat line. After being referred to Iman (if he was or is in the UK, it was 5 am there) he managed to straighten out the problem and get it resolved. Although I'm anxious, I am also patient. It took more time than I expected, but I sensed he'd be successful. Thanks Iman & thanks Agoda!

Tip for consumers:
Always be patient with this kind of service, especially if you've located the perfect accomodations based on your special requirements. I'm not sure why other people give Agoda low ratings on other sites, IMHO those aren't deserved. Be kind as well as patient. Give them time to figure it out.

A few moments ago, I completely fouled up my reservation on a non-refundable room. Agoda Customer Service phoned the hotel and personally corrected my mistake. This was not the first time. They have also arranged for refunds three months after I did not show up for a reservation. While YMMV. Mine has been nothing short of first class.

30 May - 3 June, 2018
We were two ladies travelling to Como Lake Region.
Our one-room cum apartment was old charm plus refurbished shower and toilet.
Warm and friendly hospitality extended by owners Rita & Luigi with their daughter Christina.
Aside from the steep daily incline and decline to the town square [option of booking a taxi E12 per trip of 10mins spiralling mountain roads], we had a most beautiful vacation.

Tip for consumers:
Be prepared with covered good walking shoes to walk up and down pebbled paths.
Need summer hat and sunblock!

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!
