Exactly how I paid less for the exact same hotel 👇🏻
I didn’t think anything of it when I booked.
We were planning a weekend trip with friends, picked a hotel, and everyone just went ahead and booked it.
Same place. Same dates. Done.
It wasn’t until later - when we started talking about what we paid - that I realized we did not book it the same way.
I had something running in the background they didn’t...and it showed me the best hotel deals possible.
💻 What it is
Directo is a free Chrome extension that compares hotel booking options while you search like normal.
You install it once, then go about booking the way you always do on sites like Booking.com, Airbnb, etc.
When Directo finds other options for that same hotel, a little logo pops up and shows you what else is out there.
💸 What it actually shows you
This is the part that matters.
Instead of guessing, it shows you:
• the hotel’s direct website
• prices on other booking platforms
• Directo Deals
So you’re not opening 12 tabs trying to figure out if you missed something.
It’s all right there.
✨ Directo Deals
This is what made the difference for me.
Directo negotiates special rates directly with hotels.
So you’re not just comparing the same price across different sites - you can actually see a lower price that most people never find.
The hotel I booked in Washington DC for two nights:
$593 on the booking site
$394 with a Directo Deal
Same hotel. Same stay. Big difference.
📌 A few things to know
• It’s completely free.
• It only works on desktop since it’s a Chrome extension.
• And the logo popping up doesn’t mean it always found something cheaper - it means it found other options to compare, which is exactly what you want.
🔎 What to do
Search Google for “Directo Extension” and install it.
Then just book the way you normally would and let it do the work in the background.
Honestly, anything that saves money and saves me from opening a million tabs is a win.
👉 Follow and travel better, smarter, cheaper.
