Agoda is a Singapore-headquartered digital travel platform offering accommodation, flights, activities and other travel services. Launched in 2005 and now part of Booking Holdings, the brand has grown from its Asian roots into a global platform built around technology, choice and more accessible trip planning.

About Agoda

Agoda was created by entrepreneurs Robert Rosenstein and Michael Kenny, whose collaboration grew from an earlier travel startup in Asia. Their goal was to build an online travel company rooted in Asian markets, and Agoda.com officially launched in Singapore in 2005.

A major step followed in 2007, when Agoda was acquired by what is now Booking Holdings. From its early focus on accommodation in Asia, the business expanded internationally and developed into a broader digital travel platform, adding services beyond hotel booking while keeping technology central to its growth.

What Agoda Offers

Agoda connects travelers with hotels, private homes and other accommodation, alongside flights, activities and additional travel services through its website and mobile app. Its accommodation offering ranges from traditional hotels to apartments, villas and other types of stays across international destinations.

The platform combines travel search, booking technology and mobile services to help users organize different parts of a trip within one digital environment.
