Il prezzo che le OTA ti nascondono. Svelato in un clic.

For fifteen years, a single clause kept the industry frozen in place. Every hotel, from a Parisian boutique to a Tokyo five-star, had signed it — promising the big travel sites that no one, anywhere, could publish a lower rate. That clause died in June 2024.

What happened next was quiet. Independents dropped their direct prices 15–25% overnight. Chains created member rates — free to join — that landed 10–20% under the OTA. Luxury properties didn't move on rate but started folding in €50–€200 nightly credits, breakfast, upgrades, welcome gifts: things the OTA physically couldn't pass to you.

The travel public hasn't caught up. Most people still search the big sites, click Reserve, and never think about it again — surrendering the 10–30% commission, the points, the flexibility, the front-desk goodwill that comes with being a direct guest rather than a ticket number.

DirectStayz is the nudge. You still find your hotel on your favourite travel site. Filters, reviews, maps — nothing changes. We just add the missing button: Reserve directly on [hotel].com. Same dates, real site, better price, and every perk the hotel wanted to give you all along.
