The property and the rate: what you pay, and what a loyalty programme changes about it. Hotels and Groups & brands are the registries, Loyalty & status follows programme changes, Booking & rates covers the mechanics of paying, and The stay covers what is reported about being there.
No. The site reports what named publications, operators and guides have published, and nobody from here stays anywhere. A verdict about a property is credited to whoever reached it.
No. There is no booking engine, no rate comparison and no affiliate link to any hotel or agency, so a rate mentioned in a piece is one a source reported rather than one you can buy.
It reflects what programmes have announced, credited and dated in the piece. Devaluations often arrive without notice, so the programme's own terms are the version that binds you.
Nobody is credited individually. Each piece is written with automated assistance from the source material, with the publication credited where an author would sit.
No, and there is no analytics or cookie either. Nothing is requested from a third-party host, and your theme preference stays in your own browser.
