Has anyone used Agoda for booking hotels

Berberis

Hi Folks I have already booked hotel in Seoul since early this year for upcoming holiday in Korea. (have free cancelation with this booking)
We have since seen another hotel nearby to the one we have booked which appears to be just as nice as our original one.
Difference is though that this other hotel is almost €1000 cheaper if we book it with Agoda, but there is no cancelation with this booking
But as we are going in 2 weeks I don't see that as much of a problem really (fingers crossed)
Question is though has anyone here booked through Agoda and if so how did they get on with them.
Thanks in advance

I've used them lots of times - they often have a larger selection of hotels in Asian cities than some of the other sites.

The only thing to be careful of is that usually they don't include all taxes and charges in the original price so double check before checkout.

Cheers for the reply. Yea I noticed that about the taxes and charges alright, as the price on the site says €41.45 per night which is €580 for the 14 night stay.
But then at checkout it is €702 per room for the stay which is great for us as we are booking 2 rooms and are saving close to €500 per room against the hotel we had already booked

Used Agoda all over Asia a number of years ago. No problems in Japan or Vietnam with them. They are often a fair bit cheaper than the competition. Would recommend them.

agree, used Agoda for some of our bookings in Asia. As long as you're fully aware of the price you're paying it's an easy transaction.
