I booked a room at Motel 6 for $40 on Agoda. There is a timer on the booking page that clearly says my rate is being held so long as I complete the booking within five minutes. I did. A few knifes later I get an email stating that my booking was canceled due to “an unforeseen technical error.” I went back to book the room again. Now the rate is $49. I had just barely enough to pay for the room at the $40 rate...a rate that was being held if I completed the order on time - which I did! I called customer service and (after about 15 minutes of arguing and begging) they finally agreed to compensate the difference in “agoda cash” which I could apply to the booking. Fine. So I went to make a new reservation, except on the check out page there was no option to apply the agoda cash. Turns out the property is a “pay at hotel” property, which evidently means I can’t apply agoda cash to it. So the $9 of agoda cash that they begrudgingly gave me when they screwed up does me NO GOOD anyway and doesn’t actually compensate me in any way. I still don’t have any way to pay the higher rate and I have no way to relocate to some other property. What a load of garbage! The site clearly guaranteed that rate if I completed the booking in time! And I did! I held up my end of the bargain, you should too! Never using agoda again and will be reporting this story through every agency I can think of and sharing it through every social forum I know. Bunch of garbage.

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…

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!
