Singapore's CASE will never do what the Australia's ACCC did; our govt is scared to ruffle some big foreign companies' feathers.

looked at Trivago a few times when they had this advertising blitz on TV.

prices were not cheap so I stayed with Agoda and Hotels.

Been using Agoda and Hotels all the while if want to book hotel during the pre-covid days. Never encounter much problems. Except one time when i booked a hotel room using hotels requesting a queen bed, and when reached the hotel they gave two single beds!  Now dont know if these two platform still ok or not?

Second the TripAdvisor one. Actually if I were to click on the Agoda link from TripAdvisor, I usually get a lower price then if I click Agoda directly. Anyone has the same experience?

Used to be good but now agoda sucks

 

i made booking recently and wanted to change date so hard. Cant reach their CSO. In fact they don’t have CSO. All robot replies

 

then i booked few times trip.com recently, very easy to change or even get refund when i no show due to unforeseen circumstances although i booked non refundable room

Trip is PRC co I tink 

Sometimes the rates are significantly cheaper than others and sometimes significantly more ex. Luck of the draw

Sometimes if the rate is comparable to hotels.com I will book via hotels to accumulate the 1 free night redemption. Managed a few redemption nights so far no issues

perhaps, one can only hope that it was settle out of court on multi million dollar amount..
