Here's what guests who booked direct have to say
"Saved $47 by booking direct vs Booking.com for our 3-night stay. Used the savings for dinner at a local restaurant. Plus, when we needed late checkout, Aaron responded in 20 minutes. You don't get that with OTAs!"
"I always used to book through Expedia because I trusted them more. Then I realized I was paying 20% extra for what? This place has the same secure payment, better cancellation policy, and actual human customer service. Never going back to OTAs."
"Family of 4, saved $83 for our weekend ski trip. That's TWO lift tickets! The booking process was just as easy as Booking.com, but without the annoying service fees. And I got a real confirmation email in 30 seconds, not 6 hours."
"Repeat guest here. Saved 18% compared to Expedia on my first booking, and now I get 10% loyalty discount on all future stays. After 5 stays, I've saved over $200 total. Why would anyone use OTAs?"
