1. Confirm the reservation in the correct Agoda Partner Portal property.
2. Arrange the guest's stay from the confirmed booking details.
3. Protect the room once if the PMS still shows it as available.
4. Check the intended room type, rate plan, and any visible connection warning.
5. Ask the responsible provider to recover the original booking once.
When an Agoda booking is not received by your PMS, start with the guest and the room—not the technical connection. If Agoda Partner Portal shows the reservation as confirmed, treat it as an active stay while your team checks the PMS.
Do not ask the guest to book again, cancel the Agoda reservation, or let several people create replacement records. Follow the five hotel checks below in order.
1. Confirm the Booking in Agoda Partner Portal
Sign in to Agoda Partner Portal, select the correct property from Listings, and open Bookings > Reservations. Search with the Agoda Booking ID. If needed, widen the date range and also search by guest name, check-in date, check-out date, and booking date.
Open the reservation and confirm:
- Property, Agoda Booking ID, and current status
- Check-in and check-out dates, room type, rate plan, and occupancy
- Final price, payment instructions, cancellation policy, and meal option
- Latest modification and any important guest request
Also check the property's registered reservation email for the booking voucher. Menu labels can change, so use the reservation search visible in your account if your screen differs slightly.
If you cannot find the reservation, recheck the property and dates. Do not create a booking from a guest screenshot alone. If Partner Portal confirms it, record the details and continue.
2. Arrange the Guest's Stay
A confirmed reservation needs an operational plan even when the PMS record is missing. Check whether the arrival is today, whether this is the last available room, and whether housekeeping or front desk needs immediate instructions.
Use the confirmed Partner Portal details to prepare the correct room and honor the booked occupancy, meal option, cancellation terms, and payment method. Do not ask the guest to pay again if the reservation says Agoda has already collected payment. Keep payment information in the approved secure system, not in ordinary notes or messages.
Search the entire PMS before creating anything. Use the Agoda Booking ID, guest surname, arrival and departure dates, and booking date. Include confirmed, pending, unassigned, modified, cancelled, archived, and duplicate records. If you manage several properties, verify that the booking was not placed under another hotel.
If an incomplete record already contains the same Agoda Booking ID, preserve it and contact support. A second record could reduce inventory twice or send conflicting guest messages.
3. Protect the Room Once
If the booking is confirmed but the PMS still shows the room for sale, protect the inventory before continuing—especially for a same-day arrival or a nearly sold-out date.
Use one approved method: place one documented temporary hold on the correct room, or create one clearly labelled manual PMS reservation if hotel policy requires it. Copy the stay dates, room, rate plan, occupancy, price, payment instructions, and cancellation terms exactly. Add the Agoda Booking ID and mark the record for reconciliation.
Do not block the same room separately in Agoda, the channel manager, and the PMS. Assign one staff member to remove or merge the temporary control when the connected reservation appears.
A hotel channel manager helps keep incoming Agoda reservations and room availability in the same operating workflow.

4. Check the Room and Rate Plan Connection
A connected Agoda booking normally moves through the property's channel connection into the PMS. Hotel staff do not need to determine how the systems exchange the message.
Instead, compare the booked Agoda room type with the PMS room that should receive it. Then compare the rate plan using the fields that affect the stay: meal option, cancellation policy, occupancy, payment method, and final price.
Look for recent operational changes. A room or rate plan may have been renamed, copied, replaced, deactivated, or connected to a different PMS product. Similar names do not prove that the correct products are linked.
Check any visible warning in the PMS or channel manager. Do not change several connections to force one reservation through; a broad change can affect future bookings and inventory.
5. Request One Recovery
Open one support case with the team responsible for the missing step. If the booking is absent from Agoda Partner Portal after you confirm the property and search details, use Need Help in Partner Portal. If Agoda confirms the booking but it is missing from the PMS, contact the channel manager or PMS provider first.
Provide one complete case:
- Property name, Agoda Booking ID, guest name, and stay dates
- Partner Portal status and the time of the latest booking update, including time zone
- Agoda room and rate-plan names and their intended PMS products
- Screenshots of the confirmed reservation, PMS searches, and any visible warning
- Any temporary room hold or manual record already created
Ask whether the original reservation can be recovered safely or whether the hotel should keep the temporary manual record. Let one provider perform one recovery action. Do not ask several teams to resend or recreate the booking at the same time.
6. Verify the Fix Before Closing the Case
When the reservation appears, compare it with Agoda Partner Portal. Confirm that only one usable PMS reservation exists and that the Agoda Booking ID, guest, dates, room, rate plan, occupancy, price, payment instructions, and status are correct.
Check that availability decreased once. Reconcile the temporary hold or manual record without losing room assignments, deposits, notes, or front desk tasks. The incident is closed only when a later modification or cancellation can update the same PMS reservation.
Should front desk create a manual Agoda reservation immediately?
No. Confirm the booking, search the entire PMS, and protect the inventory first. Create a manual record only when the stay is confirmed, the guest or room is at immediate risk, and hotel policy permits it.
Can a missing Agoda booking cause an overbooking?
Yes. Agoda may show the room as sold while the PMS and other connected channels still show availability. Use one temporary protection method and reconcile it after recovery.
Why might the booking be missing only from the arrivals list?
It may be under another date, property, status, room assignment, source filter, or permission scope. Search the whole PMS before opening another case.
What proves the problem is resolved?
One PMS reservation matches Partner Portal, availability changed once, temporary controls are reconciled, and future changes remain attached to the same booking.
Information for Technical Support
Technical support may need to check Request API or retrieval coverage, the message ID and delivery response, and any rejected or quarantine-queue record. Hotel staff only need to provide the Agoda Booking ID, booking and stay times with the time zone, room and rate-plan names, screenshots, and the exact visible error; the provider should interpret the integration records and choose the recovery method.
