| Holisto | We love travel as much as you do. That’s why we want to make it attainable, so you can make your travel dreams a reality. We believe in making hotel stays more affordable - so that you can save your money for more unforgettable travel experiences. Other travel booking websites, use the same providers and the same old search functions to findyou hotel deals currently available online. We don’t do regular, we do innovative - we spent 3 years developing an award-winning algorithm that goes beyond simple search.We CREATE the best possible deal by combining multiple rate plans into a single booking. Instead of getting your hotel reservation from one provider, we split your hotel search to get over 1.5M booking offers from global distribution systems, wholesalers, and online travel agencies. We then select the best offers and merge them back under one reservation into a unique travel deal at the hotel of your choice, at a silly price.Splitty smart, huh?Travelution Awards 2017: Startup of the Year Eye4Travel Awards 2017: Startup of the Year World's Leading Hotel Booking Website 2018 Nominee World's Leading Hotel Booking Website 2019 Nominee | $10M | Corporate Round | Jul 30, 2024 |  |
