I mostly use agoda for booking hotel rooms in Asia because navigating the local hotels English website (when it even has one) is never fun. Agoda has always been a good way to go (although one time the hotel insisted they had never heard of agoda and made me pay anyway - thats one hotel out of 30 or 40 Ive booked via agoda so Im guessing thats rare.).
