Lots of complains, but people underestimate how much money, time and effort the company spends on a customer service. It's a war out there, traveloka raising half a billion dollars, "old" companies must fight back.
Not only their prices are usually the lowest, but they also offer matching prices.
The room was not as advertised? Booking would at least offer a coupon for next booking.
Hotel was overbooked? They would find you a room of no lower standard, in similar location, and they cover the difference. It happens that if there's a big event in the city, they might cover your 5* hotel if you booked a shitty 2* room.
Many small properties have shady businesses, booking.com protects you from this.
They might not use the shiniest tech, but their customer service (which is biggest portion of the work force) is top notch.
I'm courios about the salary offered. In Amsterdam Booking is known to be paying above the market average. Their salary range is also listed stack overflow careers page. Are salaries really that hight in India?
Agoda is the largest and fastest growing online hotel booking platform in Asia, and as a Priceline Group company, we are part of the largest online travel company in the world.

Process: after few Skype calls, you will be flown in to meet us in person, and show you around the office. The company also arranges all required paperwork, and helps with relocation for you and your family.
huh? 50k is not almost 65k (assuming you mean 30% ruling). Rent in Amsterdam is also more than 900Euro, unless you mean sharing a room, a shitty flat somewhere far from anything, or you know someone. I'd say 1300Eur is more reasonable price for someone new in the city.
Gamesys is the bomb. I interviewed there few years ago, it was a bliss (didn't get the job though). Super smart folks, great technology stack, amazing office. Can't say for the working conditions, but I'd be surprised if it wouldn't be top-notch
