Now not attractive already. Have not used Hotels of late cos Agoda has been good for my requirements, namely; cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaw819 4th Gear January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 Honestly do not rely on 1 site for the best discount. With Google just search and sure can find the best price around. Some will even surprised you with their add-ons. Of course if you are lazy to read and compare just go to the popular ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And particularly in australia, booking.com usually gets me what i want. Price wise i think just at most 1-2 dollars difference usually. I've never met a scenario, the prices differ significantly.

louisbosco 3rd Gear January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 agoda in my experience has always been the cheapest. not necessarily finding the cheapest hotel, but offering the cheapest deal amongst the different sites. booking.com from what i've found out add stuff onto the nightly price after you come to the total amount. can't remember what but it was the case on one occasion comparing total cost for agoda vs booking.com best is still to stick to 1 website. agoda vip i find is good enough for me. plus can redeem agoda cash and save a little $$ per trip..

zipping Supersonic January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 Normally use hotels.com until they start to "redirect" payment to another country (iirc my case was France) and I'm being charge extra 1% for "conversation fees". Switch to Agoda few yrs back, and my last 2 bookings they charge me in HK, and additional 1% on my credit card statment. All my bookings done in SG. Call their cso, keep avoiding e question on why was e transaction is being process in HK. Cso keep saying on their side charge is correct and i should chk w my cc bank. But when i started to "bang table" they came back and say "system error?" and will refund me e 1%. Any of you guys w tis issue w hotels.com or Agoda? https://blog.moneysmart.sg/credit-cards/credit-card-transaction-fees/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubwee Supercharged January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 Tot these days most of the big hotel chains website also offers the best price guaranteed ? Can earn membership points some more and i find that its always easier to request for early check in or late check out when you book directly with the hotel . Most of the time , they do offer free upgrades and sometimes daily breakfast also .. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
