Posts: 159Agoda
I just had my go-around with Agoda. On a prepaid, no refund, reservation at Shangri-La in Jakarta.
Here is how it worked for me:
1. I emailed Shangri-La first and they replied in a day that because of Corona they would honor a full refund, but I had to go thru Agoda for the refund.
2. I had 2 email exchanges and a phone call with Agoda. No result.
3. I received a 3rd email from Agoda asking for a copy of the Shangri-La refund email.
4. After sending a copy of the S-L email to Agoda, I got a full refund in less than 24 hours (has yet to post to my CC).
GOOD LUCK.

Meanwhile, I have had much easier cancellations / refunds / point re-bookings with Expedia (easy & fast), Hyatt (seamless & perfect), Marriott (no problem but it took time), Intercontinental (still waiting for one of their expired vouchers to be extended so I can use it, but otherwise good), Scoot (great), and United (no complaints).
My absolute worst experience getting a Corona refund has been with Air Asia. After many tries I finally have 2 Air Asia reservations "in progress" towards receiving a full refund, but it was not easy and Air Asia tells me it may take up to 30 days before the refund hits my CC account. I have a 3rd Air Asia ticket that I wish refunded, but the flyer (guest) is one of my girls - Yangon Sally, and the Air Asia auto refund program kept malfunctioning on the final line of the refund process. So I finally gave up on getting a refund for that ticket after the umpteenth attempt and had to settle for a 365 day flight credit in my Air Asia account instead.
Thus my message to you is be patient, yet persistent with Agoda and I think you will eventually get your refund. But the moral of this story is do not forget who gives you trouble refunding and who is a breeze to work with when it comes time to make your next booking(s).

They were locked down 11 weeks. A leaky lock-down will take longer to eradicate the disease.
My wild ass guess is that some form of lock down travel restriction will extend until June or July. I have resigned myself to not making it home to Canada this year for my annual visit.

Just go direct to Agoda (if you originally booked through them).

Posts: 3040I am no expert on contagion, but it seems to me a country, any country, will have to keep their quarantine / lockdown in effect until at least 14 days after the last known occurrence or risk a 2nd flare up or until a cure can be widely distributed. The Z pac is looking ever more promising in this respect. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) + Azithromycin.

If flights do start up again on April 15 or 16 you can expect that preference will be given to those who have either a Philippines passport or a permanent visa (like a 39 a / spouse visa).
It hasn't been established yet when visas on arrival will be re-commenced. You'd be wise not to book hotels until the visa aspect is clarified.
