Could not be worse experience

We ordered the Legoland hotel and got the confirmation email before we made the vocation planning. But when we arrived at the hotel after hours of driving from north California, we were told by the hotel that they were overbooked and they couldn’t contact us because they didn’t have our contact information, they suggested us to contact where we placed the order. So we tried to call Agoda, we told the customer service the problem and each time the call was received by a different customer service, they said they were trying to contact vendor and promised to call us back in 30 minutes but never did that. After calling them 4 times and they promised the manager would call me later but never did. Our child was really disappointed and fell asleep since it’s midnight, we had to find another hotel… I am wondering why they sent the confirmation email but couldn’t guarantee it? Why customer service passed the problem from one to another then another? Why they didn’t give a reply at the time they promised? Why customer should pay for agora’s mistake? The reputation of agoda is ruined, people can’t believe what agoda has promised. You can’t expect them to do what they have confirmed and can’t believe the customer service can help to fix their issues…

Downloading and try to remove

I downloaded this app for travel purposes. Once I realized I did not like the app so much, I removed it from my iPhone. Then I started noticing that the app was hiding in the background without being download it the next day. Mind you I had already deleted the app and removed it from my phone… I have removed it now after three months 20 times. I’m wondering why this is happening. I’ve wrote to them and told them that I would not like to see it on my phone one more time if I did I’m going to seek legal counsel against the parties who continue to be uploading it onto my phone. This is not a good app I believe it is a scam please do not download it. It will not be completely removed off of your phone, it will keep attaching itself to your phone. I’m not sure what it is but, I’m very unhappy with this matter. So I’m reaching out to my lawyer today in reference to the app and the developers and see what they can do for me. Steer clear from this one

Great app

The app works perfectly. I use it all the time. The only reason why I don’t give a 5-star review is because I also have to use the website on my computer to add certain filters like a bathtub in the room. Not all of the same filters are available on the app. It’s convenient to use the app, but it seems unnecessary to remove certain features that are available on the website.

Excellent and very easy to use Apps

I have booked accommodation using the Agoda for many years, for travel and for work. I am a frequent traveller and I have on average, stayed over 120 nights per year, mainly in London. Almost 98% of the time booked using Agoda. Agoda Apps is very easy to use and has definitely made my life easier. I had in many occasions in the past (and still do) checked price with other hotel booking Apps, but prices on Agoda remains the cheapest for the same accommodation most of the time. I also have very few problems with my bookings. No more than three problems in the last seven years, but all to do with the hotel operators. Agoda helped me out each and every time.

I’m a fan

I have used AGODA for many years and I’ve never had issues with them. I was staying in a hotel in the Philippines once, and an alarming weather event was forecast, so I tried to check out early. The hotel refused. I had booked through Agoda so I contacted Agoda. In less than an hour I had received a confirmation email that I could check out the following morning, so I went to reception to advise them. They’d already received notification from Agoda. So I guess I’m an AGODA fan for life.

Do not book hotels from this app

I booked a hotel in lower Manhattan New York with this app. It was near Chinatown and the address showed that it was in lower Manhattan near Chinatown. The map even showed the hotel is at lower Manhattan. So I booked the hotel for 3 nights. I paid a little for the option to cancel my hotel if anything happens. After I paid I found out that It actually didn’t put me on the option to pay a little extra to be able to cancel my stay and get my refund. Didn’t think much of it because I was going to make the trip anyways. Come to find out the hotel actually wasn’t even in lower Manhattan. When I got the confirmation email, it showed a totally new address which says it’s in New Jersey. The email also had an attached PDF file and in that PDF file it says that it’s in Chinatown New York.. so I looked up myself on google maps to try to find the hotel but I could not find it on the map at all in lower Manhattan. Their website was not helpful at all for me to dispute this. They provided me with false information. I will be disputing this with my bank and I have proof of the false information they provided on their app. I advise others to Never use this app!

Do not use Agoda to book a hotel you’ll be sorry

Here is my sad story, book a hotel room for my sons birthday near Disneyland, they charged my card the very moment, next day they email me from their fraud department saying that they need it a picture of my ID and Credit Card ( red flag)
Called the Hotel asking if that was their policy and they say no, try to contact Agoda and not luck they do not respond to emails, there is no a phone number to call . Found a number from New York office nothing, they send me another email the day of my arrival saying that I have canceled my reservation NOT true.. they left me without a place to stay for my and my kids, unforgivable who does that.. evil company .. Beware I’m still dealing with refund money.. Donnot use them Hotel manager told me is not the first time that happened and that everyone has something to say about Agoda… please stay away …You Been Warned!!!!!

Easy and Informative

Love the App. Have used it many times and always been very happy with it. Easy to navigate around. Great competitive prices.

Regular hotel app

I use this app occasionally. I tend to use whatever one has the cheapest prices as I’m unfortunately homeless due to unemployment complications and the department dropping the ball on my account..(admittedly)..so I have had no choice but to live in my vehicle but the summer heat has led me to need a place to go into so I stay at hotels Constantly, booking hotels is a regular thing for me and always trying to seek the best prices etc. This app is fine, regular experience..nothing too special, I really don’t get much from the rewards, I wish it was more beneficial but otherwise, it’s just normal, regular hotel app🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ not much to it (personal opinion based on personal experience, other opinions/experiences may
differ😉👋🏼🤝)

Got lucky…but confirmed accurate reservation with property to be sure.

I’ve booked three stays with agoda in the past 6 months. Each time I received the stay, in the intended room I booked. All three stays were at a resort in St Pete Beach, Florida. I have to say that Agoda has some “extra” room categories that are actually duplicates with different titles. So you may book a gulf Front suite for $225 and a sea view suite for $300 and they are actually the same suite. I recommend doing your research, which may include looking at other sites/property site or confirming with hotel. It might be extra work but the savings on Agoda made it worth it for us. I actually also confirmed with Agoda app under bookings and with someone over the phone with Agoda. Each time the information matched up. Felt especially confident after hotel directly was able to confirm after booking. Have to say, I’d do all these things, with any third party booking site.
