Wouldn't recommend using them for short notice bookings ,<3 days out, but other than that found them fine.

I use them quite often. They are nearly always the cheapest but it is still worthwhile comparing them against the others as they are sometimes not the cheapest.

I am always wary of their hotel reviews as they seem to me to be bodgie at best.

Tripadvisors reviews are much more accurate.

Found this review at another forum about Asiarooms :

Thailand Travel / Travel Agents / Hotel Warnings

I have tried many booking sites and have never had any problems with Sawadee.com.

One site put a hold on my visa card and would not confirm a booking for over two weeks. In the end I had to threaten them to either confirm the booking or release the hold. They released the hold and I booked elsewhere.

In my opinion all asia rooms is ok have used many times,of course a company this big will have complaints.

I like asiarooms. Very good. Will send you email reminders of your bookings and sms confirmations.

Dori · #10 12-09-2007, 17:50

I have used Asia Room the last 3 tours and have found them to be reliable and competative

noman · #11 14-09-2007, 09:21

I use them all the time, very good service

nelsonone · #12 14-09-2007, 10:08

have used them many times without problem...even had a refund from them when I had to cancel due to the Tsunami

aussie45 · #13 14-09-2007, 12:55

I've used them for 4 trips only problem was a hotel instigated one which asia rooms sorted out promptly. I'm just about to use them again for a Bkk, Chaiang Mai/Rai trip

Icebox · #14 14-09-2007, 21:35

never had any serious probelsm with them but have found they rather pricey of late

fotonut · #15 15-09-2007, 16:01

Never used asiarooms but I'd recommend asiatravel.com as another reliable alternative.
