VERDICT

Should I use Getdirecto (Directo)?

🎉 - NEW - Pay less for the same hotel: prices negotiated by Directo → [See how it works](/directo-deal) - getdirecto.com

Worth it. Buy if you book hotels regularly in Europe or the US and want to skip OTA fees — it is free, so the downside of trying is minimal. Skip it if you rarely book hotels or dislike granting browser extensions access to booking pages.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; user-review depth is thin.

Alternatives

Compare Getdirecto (Directo) with each alternative.

  • Google Hotels

    Free price comparison in-browser, no extension needed.

    Guess: huge inventory and familiar checkout, but OTA fees included.

  • Expedia

    Guess: bundles hotels and flights; commissions built into rates.
