Last updated: March 2026
Short version: Some links on this site earn us a small commission. It costs you nothing extra, and we only recommend things we’d actually suggest to a friend.
These commissions help support the operation of this website and allow us to continue creating free travel content.
What This Means
This website participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a small commission from the company — at no additional cost to you.
We participate in affiliate marketing programs including, but not limited to:
- Booking.com Partner Programme
- Amazon Associates Program
- GetYourGuide Affiliate Program

How We Choose What to Recommend
Our editorial process is not influenced by affiliate relationships. We recommend hotels, tours, and services based on research, reader feedback, and our own experience. If something has a bad reputation or doesn’t offer value, we say so — regardless of whether we earn a commission.
Affiliate links are typically marked with labels like [CHECK RATES HERE], [VIEW OPTIONS], or similar call-to-action text. In some cases, standard text links may also be affiliate links.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We believe in full transparency with our readers.
