When you come to Koh Samui to book your accommodation, you can opt to use an online platform such as Agoda. Agoda is one of the fastest-growing websites for online travel reservations in the world. From its establishment as an e-commerce start-up based in Singapore in 2005, it has grown to offer a worldwide set of 2 million properties in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. Agoda offers travellers easy access to a wide range of luxury and budget hotels, apartments, homes, and villas to fit all budgets and possibilities for travel. 

 

Why Koh Samui? 

Koh Samui is a cosmopolitan melting pot, drawing budget travellers who stay in simple beachside bungalows for a month or two, to one of the many luxury resorts or villas on the many white-sand beaches of Koh Samui for a weekend. From the lively bustle of Chaweng to the vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere of Lamai Beach to the timeless feel of Bophut's Fisherman's Village to Maenam's tropical beach paradise, Koh Samui is unique among Thailand's islands in retaining a wide appeal to all. The unique comfortable environment that distinguishes it helps to provide this.

Benefits of Agoda

Agoda will deliver lower rates than other websites on occasion, which means it is very affordable and therefore worth testing. You also pay for the booking in advance, so it might be easier if you choose to do this. 
Thailand's Agoda is a popular forum and is used by many hotels. They also have an app for repeat clients, incentive plans and coupons. 

 

Testimonials 

With so many hotels to choose from, it can be difficult to make a decision about where to stay. Reviews can be a highly useful way of deciding if a specific accommodation is a good one. 
You get to see what real guests feel about their stay, not just the definition of the facilities of the hotel. 
Consider the ranking of the location, often a star system. A higher score shows that with few if any difficulties, the previous hotel guests enjoyed their stay. You have a greater chance of enjoying your stay if you limit yourself to these hotels as well. 
If there are a lot of reviews, you will get a much more detailed description of the hotel. This does not mean that a place with a low number of reviews is bad, but if a lot of people gave it a high score instead of only three or four guests, a high score carries more weight. It also doesn't imply that reading all 300 reviews is essential. The first page or two should be sufficient. 
Read all the good and negative stuff people comment on in articles, and look for things that might bug you. A hotel with a lot of complaints about unnecessary street noise might not be right for you when you're easily distracted by noise. If you are sensitive to firm beds and beds have a few issues, move on. But if the TV was too little, and you're still not watching TV on vacation, if there are questions about that, don't let that weigh on your decision. 
Ignoring some negativity. It was probably just a fluke if 30 people were raving about the hotel and one person said it was bad for some reason. Don't let one negative review overwhelm a sea of good feedback. For some guests, there are certain expectations, and they are not always met, but that doesn't mean that the hotel is at fault.

Security

There will always be the possibility of a mistake throwing a wrench into your travel booking schedule. No service is resistant to these types of events, which is why they have some money-back guarantees you should check out, and if necessary, their customer support team is always there to assist or refund you. 
By using Agoda, you have your reservation assured, which is better than just turning up to the accommodation when there may not be any rooms available. Getting your reservation via Agoda implies that if you do not seem to connect with the property for any reason, you can also contact Agoda. 

 

Filtering

You can easily compare other properties in the same area or even on a budget by using Agoda's filtering system. In this way, you will be given a list of certain accommodations that fit your criteria or are in the area you want to stay, instead of looking for a big and large place that might take more time.

Pricing

Before you had to wait to confirm your booking to see the full price, Agoda now includes all taxes and charges in its price, but not any more, a welcome change. Please note that when you arrive, properties sometimes apply tourist taxes or extra fees to the bill. This should be clearly written during the booking process somewhere, so make sure you read it all. 

 

Disadvantages

Occasionally, it may take some time for the hotel/accommodation to obtain your booking confirmation. Prices can be a little more expensive than other websites for similar-type lodging, always compare. Great deals often have several dozen people watching them at the same time, so you will have to move quickly to book or be mindful that they may go fast. 

Koh Samui Resort

The finest solution 

Book for a short time but continue to stay for a longer time. If you do not want to put too much effort in before arrival, one of the best ways to use Agoda is to make your reservation for a short time, two or three days. Then, when you arrive, you can extend the stay directly. 

 

Comparison

Compare other websites for bookings. Often the price difference is fantastic and can save you money. Check it, there are also offers for longer stays and it could be cheaper on one website than the other according to the time you plan to stay.
