This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

We booked a 4* hotel in Hong Kong for a certain date. However, the date was amended and Agoda's CSO made it clear that they will waived off the HKD600. However, few days later, an email sent by the Agoda CS team, requesting us to pay the HKD600. We called back to the CSupport team, and was told to void the email. However, upon check in, we were told to pay HKD600, upfront. (Which we do not, and suggested to check out, because the room we got wasnt exactly the kind of room we booked for.) We called up to CS Team and had a very bad service from their CSO V____. He kept interrupting everything we were trying to convey and was EXTREMELY rude. All we intend was to get a refund for the 1 night we didn't stay and an email stating that the HKD600 hasn't been charged to the c.card. However, he claimed that it's not their practise to email with matters like this. In the end, no refund, no email. And I have to wait 24-48 hours to check with the c.card company if I've been charged with HKD600. This service is definitely BAD, beyond any standards. If only, I could have recorded the whole convo with the CSO V____. This definitely their issue on miss-communication, and also not doing their work, right. It's very disappointing to come across this kind of service. Not only was it a hassle to keep calling international hotline but also, the hassle to keep repeating your story to get the whole scene straight. VERY upsetting. Expected better.

Hi booked a hotel in Agoda but it turned out that the hotel is non-refundable and the hotel is closed until further noticed. I have been searching a lot of their customer service number so as I can call to an agent about the said issue. I cancelled it via live chat and it was cancelled unfortunately the email says we will be deducted of the said cancellation of booking and cancellation fee. How was that possible when in fact the hotel is closed. Why Agoda posted that if the hotel is closed? I need your help on this matter.

Left 3 messages ( 1 email) and 1 voicemail message - customer servoce at Agoda have not returned calls. Website says message wil be responded to in 24 hours - now 72 hours!

Simple matter of receiving emails to confirm accomodation bookings - standard response is that email has gone to your spam folder but have alraedy checked.

Yes I agree to what was happening in my booking. Lets say I made a mistake on the dates but I made correction on the same day I booked the wrong date, the Customer service replied that it will take them 48 hours to correct it and that they will notify us. Its been 72 hours already and no notification received. Upon reading all the complaints I fear that my concern was not addressed soonest possible time.

To agoda, my booking was for Go Hotel to Iloilo, Philippines correcting period of stay from Aug. 19-20, 2015 to August 18-20, 2015 for 5 rooms
I was billed almost Php. 12, 000.00 in my credit card. Please confirm my corrected booking. ASAP. Booking reference # [protected] under the name of Mr. Rex Ado. Kindly reply ASAP

I have booked 4 hotels this trip with Agoda, I only received one hotel voucher; this after several emails and resend requests. Customer services has refused to answer any of my complaints or give me details of who I can escalate my complaints to. They just keep saying it's been sent!
