Very unreliable booking application.
My experience with Agoda has been extremely disappointing and has seriously damaged my confidence in this platform.
I booked The Rembrandt Resident Bangkok through Agoda for 1–4 November 2026. Unfortunately, due to an electricity outage at the hotel on 2 November, which left essential room facilities unavailable, I had no reasonable choice but to check out early.
The hotel acknowledged the situation and agreed to provide a full refund for the two unused nights. The hotel receptionist even assisted me in contacting Agoda to facilitate the refund process.
However, what followed was an unacceptable customer service experience.
Despite the hotel’s agreement, Agoda repeatedly delayed the refund, continuously referring to its third-party booking partner and providing excuses rather than taking ownership of the matter.
As a customer, I should not have to spend so much time chasing money for a service I never received, particularly when the hotel had already agreed to the refund.
Agoda’s responsibility does not end when it successfully collects a customer’s payment. It also includes providing proper assistance, accountability, and fair resolution when something goes wrong.
Unfortunately, my experience demonstrated the opposite. The lack of ownership, repeated delays, and disappointing communication made an already unpleasant situation considerably worse.
I expected Agoda to act as a reliable booking platform and protect its customers’ interests. Instead, I was left chasing a refund and repeatedly following up on an issue that should have been resolved without unnecessary complications.
Think twice before booking through Agoda. A booking platform should be judged not only by how easily it takes your money, but also by how responsibly it handles problems and refunds.
This experience has significantly undermined my trust in Agoda.
And short to the point “I still haven’t received the refund that I claimed about 10days ago which is totally agreed to refund by hotel for the absent to accommodate minimum needs for stay.
