Agoda -- Is it reliable or too good to be true?
 
I'm trying to get the least expensive rate for the Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport and Agoda offers a rate that is about 1/2 of what I can find on booking.com, hotels.com, hotwire, trivago.com, etc. Is this too good to be true?

Is Agoda reliable or is this a scam because no other website comes close to the pricing Agoda has.

Thanks.

I've booked occasionally with AQODA over the years because sometimes they have fantastic rates, but mainly they have pretty average rates!

Certainly I've had no issues with the reservations made through them.

It's a large OTA so no issue. But make sure to make screenshots and save emails, etc. as they do sometimes offer rates that are incorrect and might not be honored without a fight.

Good to know. Thanks.

Agoda is a really huge OTA in Asia - I use them all the time. Don't worry.

It may be a mistake rate, but it is unlikely to be a scam.

Never had a problem with Agoda... and the HP isn't bad, just a bit remote.

Beware of hidden tax&fee you don't see until before you pay.

Agoda is good, I use it most of my travels. I've also tried Trivago

They're legit. I've used them for hotels in Asia several times without any problems.

Agoda is legit - I've used them on and off for about 7 years. Sometimes they have smaller rooms and the rates exclude taxes so you do need to read the small print. Enjoy!

They are as big as it gets - owned by Priceline.

I've used Agoda a few times when their prices seemed lower than hotel chains or other OTAs. I've had no problems with them.

agoda is 100% legit, used many times

I've used Agoda for rooms in Japan, China, and Hong Kong.

Agoda often adds fees that are shown on the panel that follows the "Book" button next to the room rate that you select.

I actually filed for a price adjustment a week before I headed to HKG. Agoda refunded the difference within a day or 2!

I find Agoda rates to be higher than direct bookings with hotels sometimes (like in Athens)
