Connecting your email account to Gondola is generally safe if you’re comfortable granting a third-party travel service access to your travel confirmation emails. If you prefer not to connect your email account, you can still use Gondola’s hotel search tools and can forward travel confirmation emails to Gondola individually to add specific trips to your account.
Gondola aims to simplify that process. The free platform combines hotel search, loyalty tracking and booking monitoring in one place, helping travelers compare points and cash rates, track upcoming trips and potentially save money through automatic repricing tools. I tested Gondola's features to see how well it works and whether it's worth adding to your travel toolkit.
