Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. Here's exactly what that means, and what it doesn't.

When we recommend an experience, a place to stay, or a service through a link marked "/go/", we may earn a commission if you end up booking — at no extra cost to you. The price you see is the same one you'd see without going through our link.

What the commission doesn't buy

It doesn't buy placement in a listing, it doesn't buy a more favourable safety note, and it doesn't buy our silence on a real problem. We verify a place because we think it's worth recommending — the commercial arrangement, if any, comes after that, never before.

How to spot them

Every affiliate link ships with a visible note next to the first link in the article, before you click — never hidden in the footer or in fine print.

If you have questions about a specific link, write to us: we'd rather clarify than leave room for doubt.
