Affiliate Disclosure

This site earns a commission when you book accommodation through some of its links. This page explains which links those are, what our booking partner stores in your browser, and why the same notice appears at the top of every guide.

The short version

This article contains advertising. The accommodation and activity links on this site are routed through a booking partner that adds commission tracking automatically, so if you book through one we earn a commission from the provider, at no extra cost to you. It never affects what we recommend.

How this site is funded

We work with Stay22, a booking partner that handles the accommodation and activity links on this site. When you follow one of those links and make a booking, the provider pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same either way.

There is no display advertising on this site, and no sponsored posts. Commission on booking links is the only way it earns anything.

Nothing here is a paid placement. No hotel, restaurant, tour operator or attraction pays to be included, and no partner sees a guide before it is published. Where we recommend something, it is because we think it is worth your time.

Why every guide says this, not just this page

A disclosure only does its job if you see it at the same time as the link, so the line appears at the top of every guide rather than only here. This page exists to give the detail, not to stand in for that.

What this means for your data

Stay22 runs a script on this site that rewrites booking links and identifies your device so a booking can be credited to us. It does this using characteristics of your browser and device rather than a cookie, and it stores an identifier in your browser’s local storage. It runs only if you accept the marketing category in the cookie notice, and declining does not limit what you can read here.

We never see your booking, your travel dates, your name or your payment details. What comes back to us is a count of clicks and, occasionally, the fact that a booking happened. There is more detail in our privacy policy.

If anything here is unclear, or you think a link is not labelled properly, please get in touch.
