agoda.com

Anyone use these guys to book a trip?

I used them once but won't do it again.
I usually contact now the hotels direct and get at least the same price those agency are offering, if not a better one.

hmmm now you see me confused... didn't I state the reason very clear ?

I just get better prices when calling/mailing the hotel directly. I dont see the point of paying more money just to feed an agency.

Seems like all the major hotels here and other countries are affiliated with agoda.com and must go through them for reservations and a credit card must be used to reserve one's accommodations and or to lock in any discounts offered! Once accommodation(s), which were reasonable, have been reserved, it's the reservation reconfirmation that is the problem, because they are slow to respond in giving the voucher "and or info via email and it's difficult to contact the hotel directly unless you're lucky to find it on their website and if you do, they usually have a machine that answers! So, make your reservations well ahead in advance and no the last minute! We went during the low peak winter season and prices were great and the hotel we stayed at wasn't crowed or it seemed like a ghost town, but the rooms were great in Hong Kong at "Noah's Ark" on Park Island! https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=p...w=1344&bih=762
Anyway, our reservations went fine when we went to Hong Kong last month with our friends, our accommodations was charged on our friends credit card and nothing else additional was charged prior to our check out.

I find it is easier dealing directly with the hotels. especially if a
problem arises. sometimes it can be challenging on the initial
contact but I worry more about flexibility once I arrive.
