So what makes Agoda.com so special?

After using so many distinct hotel reservation companies, I've noticed that all the hotel rates are on mean are almost the same give or take a few dollars. Agoda's room rates too are on par with the rest of their competitors. However, Agoda has a rewards point principles which you can earn for room discounts and free nights.

This is the biggest advantage Agoda has over their competitors. You can earn points automatically. From 4% - 7% of your room price. Sometimes there are special offers where you can earn more. The minimum points you need for example a Usd discount is 12,500 points and that's easy to make if you spend about 5 Usd, which is easy what most citizen already spend for a hotel stay.

You can whether use up those points or save them up like I do for an even bigger discount and free nights.

The benefits of using Agoda doesn't end there. You can earn an easy 500 recompense points for submitting a report of the hotel you you stayed in. Agoda heavily relies on guest reviews so they want to give them an incentive. It's easy to submit a report and wouldn't take more than five minutes. You ordinarily get an email from Agoda within 2 weeks after check out, request for your review. As you can see as a frequent customer of Agoda, your points can fast add up.

What I like best about Agoda is their potential to fast confirm room availability. Agoda's competitors require you to wait a few hours or maybe a day because of the time zone differences to find out if a room is available. Agoda's reservation systems are all the time up to date with the most recent deals, special prices and of course instant room availability.


Finally don't you hate it when researching a hotel online and you don't know exactly what types of attractions or other hotel options are in the area? Agoda has a great hotel map feature that uses Google Maps to pinpoint your hotel's location and report colse to landmarks, attractions and hotel alternatives.
