Any experience with hotel booking on sawadee.com?
 
I am booking a Gypsy Hotel in Koh Phi Phi on Sawadee.com as it has much better price than Agoda.

But I googled and saw Sawadee.com, first time using this site.

Have any one here used it before? Is it reliable?

Thanks

It's as reliable as Agoda,Booking.com, Trivago etc.
But each may have a different room location.
I'd try contacting the hotel direct to see if they can match the above.
If the hotel comes close then book direct. As well as establishing a contact you might get a better room.

I've booked with sawasdee.com many times over the years. In my experience, they often have better rates than booking.com, agoda.com, etc for Thai hotels as it is a local booking site. Just make sure you read all the fine print, as some rates are refundable, some are not, just like on other sites.

In my experience, hotels are reluctant to match internet prices, though it never hurts to ask.

Thanks all.
As I found some of their rates are lower than Agoda and booking.com and first time known about it that made me be more careful :D
