The Direct Booking Champion badge

Direct bookings tend to die at the payment page, when the guest wonders whether they should go back to the app they know. This badge answers that hesitation. It links to the Champions page, a plain-English explanation of why booking direct with a host is safe, and usually better. Sites flying the badge get listed there too, whether you take direct bookings yourself or champion the idea.

It’s free, there’s no sign-up, and the only condition is leaving the link in place. That link is what reassures your guest, and it’s also how the next host finds this site. Hosts: paste it near your booking button or in your footer. Advocates: anywhere your readers will see it. Then tell us where to look and we’ll add you to the Champions list.
