Agoda review

Agoda is a strong second check for hotels, particularly in Asia. Its about page describes a network of more than 6 million hotels and holiday properties, plus flights, activities and transport, available in 39 languages with 24/7 support. The company is headquartered in Singapore, employs more than 7,000 people in 27 markets and belongs to Booking Holdings, alongside Booking.com, Priceline and KAYAK. Its site links to PointsMAX, which lets travelers earn partner loyalty points on stays. Agoda positions itself around helping people see the world for less, and it often carries budget hotels and apartments that are worth comparing against Booking.com. We scored it below the leaders because its public pages publish less detail on loyalty and fee terms, and the site showed only local currency from our location, so we could not confirm prices in USD. If your trip is in Southeast or East Asia, run the same hotel search on Agoda and Booking.com before you pay.
