Who paid, and how we're paid

Who paid for every stay

Every review says who paid: cash, points, a suite upgrade voucher, an advisor rate, or a media rate. When we used points or a voucher, we show what the same stay would have cost in cash.

Comped or discounted stays

If a hotel gives us a free or discounted stay, the review says so, every time.

Affiliate links

Some links, for example to travel insurance, are affiliate links. We mark them next to the link itself. If you buy through one, the seller may pay us a small fee, at no extra cost to you.
