Agoda: Service Application Review

I've been a user of Agoda.com since 2010, then I switched to their android app a few years ago.

I have also tried installing other apps such as hotels.com, trivago and booking.com but I keep uninstalling them afterwards. Sure I love to compare prices and read user reviews but getting too many inputs coming from multiple sources is confusing me.

With Agoda's app, I feel everything is less cluttered. The reviews are from their direct users - Agoda users like me. When you click it, you read it, you don't get transported to another website or app review page.

You also earn points that directly translates to $ savings on your next reservation and it has tie-ups and can earn you frequent flyer miles.

Best of all, no horror stories of arriving at hotel only to find out you have no rooms reserved - happened to someone I know who used another site. Even the non-refundable cancelation is easy to reverse, they have local numbers that you can call. Wait time is fairly quick compared to other customer service lines. I explained I made an incorrect booking. Was informed it was non-refundable but they would put it back as credit on my account to make the correct purchase and that was it. Took me less than 15minutes to re-do my reservation.

Overall, I only have good things to say - I've use this app for domestic and international travel, for staycations, for emergency accommodations.
