I see Agoda as a competitor to booking.com, I can see they always have a price advantage against booking.com. All these services are not pleasant to use. People normally spend quite a bit time in searching for places to stay. I wish there is more personalized service. I find it is painful to go through reviews and list of properties.

Agoda is owned by booking.com.

Do you consider AirBnB to have more personalized service?

No. But if you go to Airbnb, you probably have already narrowed down your search, it makes the booking process a little bit easier. I find more options is always annoying. Say some reviews are more important than others, I wish sites like booking.com can discard listings when certain keywords appears in negative reviews. All I want is to have a few options to choose from. I personally don't use Airbnb any more.
