The site design offered by Agoda is up there with the rest of the best hotel booking sites on the web. It is sleek, professional, modern, and easy to navigate. It can be, at times, a little slower or clunkier than some of its competitors, but, overall, I like it.
From the moment you land on the homepage, it will be immediately clear how to most efficiently use Agoda. An extra-large search engine will appear at the top of the page prompting you to enter your travel details. Simply type in your desired destination, dates, and number of guests, and, voila, begin browsing hundreds of hotels and apartment stays just like that! You will be able to quickly toggle, too, between hotels, private stays, and monthly stays.
If you are maybe a little more lenient about where you may want to travel (or you simply haven’t made up your mind yet), just scroll down below the search box to browse stays by popular destinations and view some one-of-a-kind, limited-time deals. Agoda also allows you to browse listings by property type, and it even recommends future stays based on what you have searched for and booked on the site, making for one of the most personalized hotel booking experiences on the web today.
Once you finally do conduct your search, you may find the search results pages to be a little cluttered. Perhaps I should just speak for myself – I found the search results pages to be a little cluttered for my liking. You shouldn’t have too much trouble browsing listings and applying filters, but I found that my eye didn’t quite know where to land. There are a lot of bright colors, tabs, and options crammed into a somewhat small amount of space. Eventually, I adjusted to the site, but I prefer hotel booking sites that provide listings in a more neatly organized manner.
