That is not so easy. We have lived in the same condo for 25 years, location is prime and rent is low. We are travelling to Europe within two months. Not a good time to move.
I get great discounts on booking.com and have used them for years without a problem. When I returned to Thailand last year I also used Agoda for the quarantine hotel one night and that was also not a problem at all. One bad experience should not lead to blank condemnation.
