If I could give Agoda 0 stars I would. At 2 separate hotels they took our money for room bookings and then we arrived at the hotel and there was no room booked. At one of the hotels we had 2 rooms booked through Agoda and when we arrived, 1 of the rooms was booked and the other wasn’t in the system. We had to pay for a 2nd room on the spot (we were lucky - it was the last room they had). And now Agoda (after 5 separate phone calls and us sending them a letter from the hotel confirming the situation) refuses to refund the room we paid for but never received because they say it is too late to cancel now, and/ or they have suggested that both rooms were used. Please do not book with this company. It was a disaster.

So much choice with great prices, no fuss easy to book....most definitely my go to site for hotel bookings
Same old runaround> I get nothing back from Agoda about my reservation HACKING issue from Dec 2025 but AI nonsense.I will write to Singapore Consumer Protection Group to complain as Agoda just does not seem to get it! Have written the CEO 3-4X now w/ no response from him either.
This is what troubles me> I would not pursue this but $280.66 is a good sum of $$$ to me. Agoda is a multi-million dollar business. Do they really need to hang on to $280.66 that hard???
And customer satisfaction seems to mean NOTHING to them. I used to use Agoda all the time for international bookings. Never again>>>

Great platform, great customer service, what else u need?
Highly recommended!
While the transaction and booking process on Agoda was simple and user-friendly, my experience after the booking was extremely disappointing.
The biggest issue was the customer service. Most of the responses I received appeared to be automated and were not helpful in addressing my concerns. It felt very difficult to get meaningful support when I needed assistance.
More importantly, I question whether Agoda conducts sufficient due diligence on the properties listed on its platform. Over the weekend, I booked an apartment that turned out to be completely unacceptable. The apartment was heavily infested with cockroaches, and instead of a proper bed, there was only a mattress placed on the floor. The condition of the unit was far below any reasonable standard for accommodation.
What made matters worse was the impact on my health. After staying in the apartment for only about 30 minutes, I developed hives across my body, which I believe were caused by the unhygienic conditions of the property. As a result, I had to leave immediately.
I paid a significant amount of money for what I expected to be safe and decent accommodation, only to end up with a terrible experience. Agoda should take greater responsibility for verifying the quality, safety, and legitimacy of the properties listed on its platform and provide more effective customer support when issues arise.
Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would be very cautious about using Agoda again for apartment rentals.

Today, I have once again provided all the information as requested by agoda. Despite this, I am extremely disappointed to receive yet another request for details that Agoda already has.
I have repeatedly provided my booking details, personal information, supporting documents, and proofs whenever requested. I have fully cooperated with Agoda throughout this matter and have even provided the same information multiple times.I expect Agoda to take responsibility for resolving this matter.

Always straight forward never had any issues over the last 10 years
Easy to hook. The price was the cheapest across lots of platforms for the very same room
Agoda is simply and easy to navigate the info. Prices were all affordable and will love to keep on using. Keep it up
Good choice of properties and accommodation, easy to book and instant confirmation.
Impossible to contact
Gave up and cancelled booking online
2 stars only becuase it looked good initially, then the problems started.

Son landed in Bali yesterday, taxi to accommodation to Suite Apartment Ragam Citra Property Legian. room not available for him, was told it was "SOLD and no longer rented but STILL advertised on Agoda page"...He had confirmation email, there was no notification they cancelled. So he was left stranded with a suitcase to find somewhere to sleep.. I rang Agoda, they wanted to speak to him coz he was account holder, he couldnt get through.. i would have thought me being his dad and supplying booking number memb number would be sufficient but no.. then they hung up on me coz i vented my frustrations.... Now wait 30-45 days for refund, they also gave him $33 goodwill.... Pathetic service
