A holidaymaker recently gained widespread attention by sharing a money-saving trick that helps her save “thousands” every year. TikTok user Anna, known as @annathingbutanimals, has been capturing interest with what she calls her “ultimate travel hack,” which she openly shared saying she didn’t want to “gatekeep”.
In her video, Anna elaborated on her method of keeping a collection of phone numbers belonging to Airbnb hosts she has previously engaged with. She organizes these contacts using a Rolodex, a convenient paper wheel for easy browsing.
When Anna plans a trip, she consults these contacts and directly messages the hosts to arrange her stay. According to her, they frequently offer her more budget-friendly rates compared to booking through a website.
Anna negotiates directly with them to secure lower prices.

How DirectTrip Works
Speak Directly To The Host
Unlike other platforms, we enable direct communication with hosts by sharing their phone numbers with you. This allows you to gain a better understanding of the accommodation and the local area, as well as negotiate a better price.
No Service Fees
Booking directly with the host allows you to avoid extra service and booking fees charged by third-party platforms, which can be as high as 15%. This means more savings, giving you extra money to spend on your trip!
No Travel Agent Markups
By booking through travel agents, you end up paying inflated prices due to their markups and fees. With DirectTrip, you can save money by booking directly with the host, ensuring a transparent and affordable experience.

"I saved big on the service fees and on top of that the host passed on some of his savings that he would normally have paid as commission on Airbnb."
