**finally refunded me. They should have done this in the first place without making jump through hoops.
**another update, now wanting the receipt stamped and signed. This I’ve done. Then wanting bank statements. This will also be sent. I’m now waiting for blood type and inside leg measurements ***UPDATE, I contacted them as advised and ignored………..Hidden costs, false information on there advertising. You think they’re competitive but they’re not. I arrived to my hotel at lunch time as they advertised 12.00 check in. It’s actually 4pm. They then charged me a $25 a day resort fee. Agoda hide this information where they should be clear and transparent.

I just don't rate Agoda. As companies go they are fairly useless. Their customer service is rubbish. I have needed help from them too many times and have got none.

It's very confusing to find out how to actually use the discounts. No code appears when you tap on them and there is nowhere at the payment end to select them either. What's the point.

I’ve had only really good experiences with Agoda until yesterday when booking in Australian dollars at the advertised price on the site to getting to the payment and it says the property is to be paid in US dollars. This is not unusual and is fine however it ended up being about $20 more. It’s fine to allow for some fluctuations. This is in fact misleading advertising an amount in Australian dollars then doing a conversion within 10 minutes and being told that it has gone up $20-$25.

Usually shows after inputting details,hotel fully booked, when it’s not.
Typing in details takes time, then told room isn’t available, so you have to start again.
Do not be too specific about your room to avoid the above.
Other than that, pretty good.

Agoda enabled me to book my hotel of choice easily.
However, I had read reviews expressing concern about Agoda's booking failures so I tried to contact the hotel I had booked (Hotel Relais Saint Jacques, Paris) to confirm the booking directly with the hotel.
Unfortunately the hotel's email address given on the Agoda booking management page was not correct (maybe it was dated/had changed) so, alarmingly, I did not receive a response from the hotel until I found another, correct, email address. Happily the hotel confirmed my booking had been passed by Agoda. I recommend Agoda contact the hotel directly to get the correct email address to put on the booking management page.

It always surprises me with Agoda that when I log in using two different accounts, I get different hotel prices (for the same hotel). It always makes me feel a bit like I'm being taken for a fool.

Booking process was simple and found prices better than elsewhere.
Have yet to complete the stay so cannot comment on whether all went as promised.
Will update then but so far so good
My experience with Agoda was extremely disappointing and has raised serious concerns about the reliability and transparency of the ratings displayed on the platform.
During my trip to Turkey, I had to use Agoda because Booking.com was not working properly in Turkey. One of the properties recommended by Agoda was displayed with an impressive 9.2/10 rating (“Exceptional”), which naturally suggests a very high-quality accommodation.
However, when looking at the individual ratings displayed by Agoda itself, the picture was completely different: Cleanliness 6.0, Location 6.5, Comfort 4.5, Staff performance 5.7 and Value for money 5.7.
How can a property with a 4.5/10 rating for comfort, 6.0/10 for cleanliness and 5.7/10 for value for money be presented to customers as “Exceptional” with an overall score of 9.2/10?
This discrepancy is, at the very least, highly confusing and insufficiently transparent for consumers, particularly when the overall rating is likely to be one of the main factors influencing a booking decision.
After this experience, I have considerably less confidence in Agoda's rating system and in the way accommodation options are presented on the platform.

There was an issue with my booking process. booking and…
There was an issue with my booking and I was unable to address it as all of your agents were too busy to assist me apparently.
Thankfully I was able to re book my hotel. I was surprised as customer service is normally very good with Agoda.
