How It Works

From the First Search to the Front Gate

What happens at each step, what you pay and when, how changes and cancelling work, and who helps when something goes wrong.

  1. Search

    Where, when and who. Places show the whole price for your dates.

  2. Quote and hold

    A priced snapshot, and the room held while you pay.

  3. Pay

    MoMo, card or from abroad: only what this host accepts.

  4. Confirmed

    Only once the payment is verified and the host has your booking.

  5. Arrive

    Directions, your pickup and a person to call.

Booking and Holds

A Quote You Can Trust, and a Room Held While You Pay

When you choose, you get a quote: every line priced, the terms as they stand, the seller, and how long it's valid. The room is then held for you while you pay. If time runs out, it goes back on sale and nothing is charged.

  • The terms you book with stay with your booking
  • A host changing their policy later never changes yours
  • No hidden extras added at the desk

Paying

MoMo, Approved on Your Own Phone

Choose your network and approve the prompt on your phone. If the network is slow, the page waits honestly and checks with the network, so you never pay twice. Cards are Visa and Mastercard; from abroad, international cards, and PayPal where the host accepts it, charged in your own currency and labelled as such.

  • In Ghana, prices are shown and paid in cedis only
  • Deposits and balances shown with their dates
  • Receipts for every payment
Changes and Cancelling

See What Comes Back Before You Decide

A change is a new quote with the difference shown; your booking stands until you accept it. Before you cancel, you see what comes back, what's kept, where the money goes and how long it takes, under the terms you booked.

  • Refunds go back the way you paid wherever possible
  • Each refund step shows with its date
  • If a host cancels, you're offered comparable places or your money back

Help on the Ground

One Button When Something's Wrong

Locked gate, wrong room, no pickup: press Problem at Check-in on your trip. It opens a case with a named person at Agoo Travel who calls the host, keeps your booking and your money as they are while it's sorted, and finds you somewhere comparable if it can't be.

  • A person decides, not a script
  • Your messages, photos and calls kept with the case
  • Help never depends on leaving a review

Questions

Good to Know

Is the price I see the price I pay?

Yes. Once your dates and guests are set, the price is the whole stay with every mandatory charge. If a quote expires before you pay, you get a fresh one, and the price never changes without you seeing it.

When is my booking confirmed?

When your payment is verified and the host has accepted the booking, not when a page says thank you. Some hosts confirm by hand: you'll see a request with a firm answer time, and nothing is charged until they accept.

Will Agoo ever ask for my MoMo PIN?

Never. The approval prompt comes from your network on your own phone, and you enter your PIN there. Anyone asking for your PIN or a one-time code on our behalf is not us.

Can someone else pay, or stay?

Yes. The person booking, the people staying and the person paying can be different people, and each sees only what they need. A company paying for a room gets the invoice, not your private details.
