NJS 4431 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Anyone used Agoda? I booked a hotel 5 years ago through Expedia and it turned out they'd used Thomas Cook as an agent so when I turned up at the hotel I was told the booking had been cancelled. To be fair to Expedia one phone call later and they'd booked me into the same hotel and given me £150 for the hassle so the only black mark was not telling me before hand. Anyway since then I've always booked with hotels directly but I have a problem with one this year where their system keeps rejecting my card - it's not getting to my bank so the problem is at their end. I rang them yesterday and they promised me a call back which hasn't happened. Expedia don't have the room I want available but Agoda do so hence the question - are they sound?

ewerk 31299 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Aye I think they're okay. I haven't booked a hotel through them but have booked car rental and it was fine. They've been around for a long time now so that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4431 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 (edited) Thanks. I went ahead and got a message from the hotel confirming it so all looks good. Edited July 2, 2024 by NJS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked this year with Ayoda, I was unsure of them too but I got an email straight after paying for it confirming the room, it said, 'Booked you are, porn channels there's not.' so it was fairly ok. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
