Terrible X not booked x not my refund

terrible experience with Agoda I tried to do a reservation at a hotel in Bali, unfortunately Agoda charged me twice and did not complete the reservation. I contacted customer service and the attendant said that it was not charged even though they sent proof of my account. It's been almost 20 days and no solution. I don't recommend Agoda to anyone, terrible experience. I'm trying to resolve it through my bank.

Service is an absolute joke

They took money out of my account , sent me an email they couldn't provide the service , then requested bank statements with sensitive information to locate the funds. 30 days later , they are still holding onto my funds. Emails get me nowhere and their customer service goes around in circles. Disgusting service.

Agoda Cash Expired less than a month

I am a loyalty customer with Agoda. Agoda cash reward used to be expired within 2 years than it was reduced down to 1 year. I was not aware of Agoda Cash expired less than a month during the month I am still travelling. It is hard to contact Agoda if I completed the trip. Therefore, it is the only platform to share my experience. This makes Agoda cash pretty much worthless that giving less time for me to plan. I hope someone from Agoda take my case into consideration and reinstate my Agoda cash.

Non existent customer service

We stayed in a disgusting place in Melbourne with bed bugs (Arrow on Swanston). We contacted Agoda for help, none provided . They stole our money and we had to go somewhere else after 2 nights. Hotel promised to refund 3 nights but they never did.

I booked accomodation and received confirmations, so obviously then booked my flights! which are non refundable. A week later they emailed to say the accomodation wasn’t honoured by the hotel. I then spent all day on the phone literally 5 hours chasing a refund for accomodation they never honoured.

They then said it would take 30days to get the refund! Or alternatively receive Agoda cash on my account which i can only use with their hotels!!
Totally disgusting ethics and service.

All while listening to inauthentic apologies for my frustrations.. are you for real.
This is actually theft!

I could not rate Agoda worse!
We booked flights from Canberra to Brisbane and then back.
Agoda double charged us (over $1800) and them proceeded to only book the return flights.
After almost a month they refunded one of the charges but the "customer service team" cannot seem to understand that they have charged us for a service they did not provide.
I would never use them again and strongly recommend nobody else does!

Ridiculous FX rate

If you are travelling oversea and going to book with Agoda best pay on the same day and cancel later. Their FX rate is ridiculous. Confirm my payment today,1 AUD is around 96 yen but their exchange rate is 1 AUD to around 87 yen. They probabaly make good money from FX.

I am currently on hold waiting for your rep. christopher to come back with a resolution. I was up until midnight speaking with Brendan. I received a refund. I then went to use the agoda cash on booking the tickets and realised I could not do this on a refundable ticket. This created a "Ghost Ticket" their words. Which was holding the agoda cash, so I could not finalize my booking. The prices were going up, and their was only one room left that suited my family. I wanted to confirm my booking. I was told to look at other websites !?!? I did and they were more expensive. I asked for compensation since they could not guarantee my booking and could not remedy the agoda cash situation until the next day. I asked for this to be emailed to me which I have received. I then booked with another site which took all of 5 minutes. Their booking was the same and non refundable. In the email it said that they will rectify the agoda cash situation, It did not state that they will re-instate the Ghost Booking. I was lead to beleive that this could not be finalized. I woke up this morning hoping to see the agoda cash back in my account. Only to find that they have confirmed the ghost booking and I now have 2 non refundable bookings with 2 different companies! I want a refund! Back into my account! not your agoda cash!

They have now charged me the full amount for this booking and taken money. unauthorised through my bank account. I always use paypal. This is Theft unethical. I have also been sent an email saying that this new Ghost booking that they finalized without my consent. That was not confirmed by me They have not used the agoda cash. THIS IS THEFT!!!!

Greetings from Agoda!

With reference to your booking ID 1111437729 as detailed below:

Hotel: B&B Hotel Roma Trastevere
City/Country or Region: Rome/Italy
Arrival: November 26, 2023
Departure: November 28, 2023

Good day!

Upon checking with our internal team, we have not found the ghost booking that utilized the AgodaCash amounting to (USD 157.46). As such, we have escalated this issue with our internal team to locate said booking & if necessary, we will be reissuing the AgodaCash back into your account accordingly.

Additionally, we will also consider compensating you with extra AgodaCash should we get approval accordingly for the unpleasant experience.

This was their email to me before I went to bed last night. It does not state that they would confirm a non refundable full price booking, that was not confirmed. And not use the agoda cash from a previous cancelled booking. We sincerely apologize once again & we thank you for your patience. whilst we check for an update on the missing AgodaCash.

Thank you!

Regards,
Brandon
Agoda Customer Experience Group

I rang and asked for this to be cancelled.
This was the reply. To the unauthorised transaction. I am posting here as no-one seems to be cabable of rectifying the situation through there customer service centre. , we regret to inform you that the Hotel has denied your request for fee waiver. Your booking was not cancelled. If you would still like to cancel, please click the button below.
Please note that by cancelling your booking, you will be charged in accordance with the hotel’s cancellation policy.
THEFT!!

The plot thickens. The other company that I used was Priceline. This is also affiliated with agoda. It looks like a duplicate booking but It is using the same reference number for both company bookings. ???

I have had an Agoda account for some time. My email provider is ceasing hosting and so I will have a new email. I have tried to change it in Agoda but there seems no way to do that, in fact the advice given is to open a new account however I have gold VIP status and will be platinum next month. How can I change email and retain status. It seems unfair i should loose it. On that note when did Agoda cash go to a one month expiry, makes it worthless for the vast majority of people.

Hope Agoda Team read my question too! Tried to chat from the platform they referred but I don't get any satisfaction answer.

I made a booking at Hotel Michael Sentosa, Singapore at the lowest price. It says on Agoda free cancellation but at the email says it's Not refundable. Then I download Agoda App and found a cancellation policy "this property allows 24 hrs free cancellation". While in my bank account its successfully debited tho I cancelled it.

Please advice the confuse created here. Thanks

Hi Maria, thank you for your review, and we do apologize for what happened to your reservation. Upon checking, we found a booking with the same details mentioned by you. Going further, we noticed that the account holder has reached out to us and we have explained to them related to this matter, and you may suggest them to reply our email for further questions due to security purposes (may also advise them to check their cancellation email, was that stating cancellation fee 0 or refund 0). Thank you and have a nice day! ^EL
