Hotels.com vs Agoda

[pdogg]

Do you prefer Hotels.com or Agoda?

 

It seems most guys use Agoda if not booking directly with the hotel.  But by comparing prices I think Hotels.com might be better.

 

The prices are very often exactly the same (but Agoda does not initially show the service charge and tax in their initial price, so for Thailand hotels you need to multiply the Agoda price by 1.177 to reflect the 17.7% increase when you actually book)

 

But Hotels.com seems to have a better loyalty program.

 

If you book with either of these sites please use our links on Asia Hotel and Travel!

Here is our Pattaya thread in which we provide both the Hotels.com and Agoda link for each hotel that uses both.  I think it's a good idea to check both,
