Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you book or buy through one, the company pays me a small commission. You do not pay more, and it does not change what I recommend.
What this means in practice
- Affiliate links are marked, and where a section is monetised it says so near the link.
- I only link to services I would use myself. A commission has never been a reason to include something, and a refusal of commission has never been a reason to leave something out.
- Nobody pays for a mention, a review, a ranking or a positive paragraph. Hotels and tour operators cannot buy coverage here, and I do not accept free stays.
Current status
This site participates in travel affiliate programmes for accommodation and experiences. When a link is affiliate, it is disclosed at the point of the link, not only on this page.
Why I do it
Writing and travelling cost money. Commissions from bookings people were going to make anyway are how the site stays free of sponsored content and display clutter.
