Agoda

Agoda was started in Thailand and is now owned by Booking Holdings. Although its two million listings include homes in destinations all over the world, it has a reputation for providing the best pricing and the most availability for hotels and vacation rentals in Asia in particular. The hotel component of the website operates as an independent OTA and accepts direct bookings. Simply input your desired destination, dates, and room specifications to receive a list of options that you can sort by Best Match, Lowest Price, or Top Reviewed.

Agoda does not provide as many filter choices as other OTAs, and some users find the UI (which is overloaded with incentivized marketing slogans and Just Missed It properties) to be unappealing. However, the company compensates with a best-price guarantee that promises to match any price on the web or reimburse the difference. The flight section functions as a metasearch engine, pointing you to the most affordable third-party site to complete your booking. Agoda also collaborates with Mozio, Rentalcars.com, and Viator to provide airport transfers, vehicle rentals, and tour tickets.
