# Directo — Book stays directly (getdirecto.com)
> Directo is a free browser extension that helps travelers find the *official* website of hotels and vacation rentals while browsing OTAs, so they can book directly and often save on fees. It also helps hosts route OTA traffic to their direct booking sites.


## Audience & purpose
- **For travelers:** discover the property’s official site while you browse Airbnb/Booking/Vrbo/Expedia/Abritel, compare perks/rates, and book direct.
- **For hosts & hotels:** show a “D” badge on OTA listings that redirects interested guests to your site to increase direct bookings.


## Start here
- [Install the Chrome extension](<https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/directo-travel-deals-save/fonalplhodhnenmokepaijoemaednpjm>): One-click install from the Chrome Web Store.
- [Enable on iPhone/iPad (Safari)](<https://www.getdirecto.com/app-ios-onboarding>): Steps to turn on the iOS Safari extension.
- [Hosts & Hotels — join Directo](<https://www.getdirecto.com/hosts-and-hotels>): Onboard properties and get the “D” badge live.


## How it works (travelers)
1. Browse your usual OTA (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia, Abritel).
2. When Directo detects the property, click the Directo icon to open the **official website**.
3. Compare direct rate/benefits and finish your booking on the property’s site.


## How it works (hosts & hotels)
