Some links on DrinksAdvisor are affiliate links. If you book through one, we may earn a commission — and you pay exactly the same price you would pay going direct. The commission comes out of the partner’s margin, never out of your pocket.
How to spot them
Every page that contains affiliate links carries a short notice at the top, above the first paragraph, before you have read a single word of the article. We do not bury it in the footer and hope you miss it.
Affiliate links themselves are marked in the page code as sponsored links, and open in a new tab so you do not lose your place.
Who we work with
When we send you somewhere to book, it will normally be one of these: Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Viator, Winalist or DiscoverCars. Occasionally we link directly to an estate that has given our readers a discount code, in which case we say so on the page.
What we do not do
- We do not sell listings. No estate, hotel or tour operator can pay to appear on DrinksAdvisor, or pay to appear higher up a page. If that ever changes, it will be labelled as advertising.
- We do not let commission decide the order. A round-up is ordered by what we think is worth your money, not by what pays best.
- We do not invent ratings. Where you see a score, we say where it comes from — either the booking partner or our own review, with the criteria published in our editorial methodology.
- We do not reuse photographs. A picture of one property is never used to illustrate another. Where we have no photograph of a place, you will see a plain graphic instead.
About the prices you see
Prices are always shown as “from” a figure, because that is what they are: a starting rate set by the booking partner, which moves with the season, the room and the day you look. We check them when we publish and we recheck them when we update an article, but the price on the booking site is the one that counts.
Discount codes
When we publish a code, we publish its conditions and its expiry date next to it. An expired code left on a page is worse than no code at all, so we remove them.
Why we tell you all this
We compete with sites that have far more listings than we do. The only thing we can offer that they cannot is a straight answer about how we make money and what that does — and does not — change about what we recommend.
