I decided to look up my favorite hotel in Bangkok and went to agoda to check the rate. Well the rate seems to have gone up. I decided to open a different search engine and check agoda again and I got a different price for the same room. I then fired up my laptop and logged on using my work VPN to do a search of Agoda for the same room and got a 3rd different price for the same room on the same days. I then opened chrome on my Ipad to do a 4th search of Agoda and if you guessed I got 4 different prices for the same room you would be right.....

Before I book, I am going to do a little more searching on the web and see what happens.

Strange I had that too!

But I only checked between iPhone and on my laptop. Price reflected on the iPhone was cheaper!
Mind boggling

I use Agoda a lot and feel they are usuallywith the most reduced rate. A website that compare prices with the one line booking agents is: www.hotelscombined.com (http://www.hotelscombined.com) Another reason for prices to vary will be the booking of the date which I think everyone knows.

Even that you don't believe me, I am with latin on this.

Try the search engine DuckDuckGo it does not track you like google and the other engines. Check out it philosophy very sensible.
