Where things stand
This site does not currently carry affiliate links or sponsored placements. It's run without third-party tracking links, and no business, hotel, restaurant or attraction has paid for a mention or a more favourable writeup anywhere in the travel guides.
How recommendations are made
A place is recommended, or not, based on what it's genuinely like. See the editorial standards page for the fuller picture of how guides get written and fact-checked.
If that changes
If affiliate relationships or sponsored content are ever introduced, this page will be updated plainly and on the record, the way any change to how the site makes money should be.
