With BOOKDirect, making Hotel reservations is RISK FREE as the booking is between you and the hotel directly. BOOKDirect will never charge your credit card in advance and any cancellation fees are subject to the hotel's own policy and would be billed directly by the hotel booked.
We get our rates DIRECTLY from the hotel or from their central reservations system and over 130 major brands have signed contracts guaranteeing that the rates found on bookdirect will be as good if not better than rates found anywhere else (including the hotel or chains' own website) - this way we can ensure that you get the very best available rate the hotel has to offer.
