What affiliate links are

An affiliate link is a tracked link. If you click one and then book with that company, it pays the site a small commission — the price to you is identical either way, and nothing here is gated behind a click. That commission is what funds the work.

What a commission does — and doesn't — do

It doesn't buy a recommendation. Whether a partner appears in an article, and what's said about it, comes down to one test: would I send someone I care about here? A partner that stops clearing that bar gets written about honestly, or dropped. Nothing on the site is recommended that wouldn't be recommended without the affiliate tag — and if that's ever not true, the email below is how you tell me.

Comped stays

If a stay is ever hosted or comped, that's disclosed plainly at the top of the article in question, and the verdict is published regardless of who paid. No brand sees an article before it goes live.

Your rights as a reader

You never have to use these links. You can look any partner up and book direct for the same price. The editorial reads the same either way — it isn't a lead magnet for the affiliate; it's the point of the site.
