Most of booking websites having their pros & cons. Some booking websites might be cheap on certain countries bcos they are from there & they got bulk pricing and some don't as they also rely on another bulk purchaser.

Not all websites offer the best and really need to compare. I used hotelclub b4 for my Manila trip as they were the cheapest that time.. but on other countries, they can't match. asiarooms sometime offering cheap rates esp to Singapore esp Singapore haha (Hotel81 can get US$30!) but they are expensive on other countries. Sawaddee very competitive on Thailand hitels & I used them when I booked Thai's hotels.

On overall, I find Agoda having the widest the cheapest overall on lotsa destinations & sometime, the discount much better than others (Well not all the time). The only problem wth agoda is the "implied rate" not shown when you booked. Once you want to make payment, than they will charge you atleast US$2-US$5 xtra on top of their promo.

Agree with the above. The full price is now shown initially but only appears in smaller print when you make the payment.

You have to pay for the room in full upon booking with agoda while others require only 10%.

I'm out of here. Too many "supporters" if you know what I mean. Next time I'll keep it to myself

I'm like the others, just a user seeking the best deal. I find them OK even though you have to pay the full amount upfront. It's willing buyer - willing seller basis.
There are lots of booking sites and you can contact the hotels direct. Some don't even collect a deposit like the China hotels.
