Affiliate Disclosure

Travelguidess is reader-supported. When you click certain links on this site and book a flight, hotel, eSIM, or other travel product, we may earn a commission from the airline, hotel group, or booking platform. This is standard for travel review sites and is how we keep the testing free to read.

How this affects what we publish

It doesn't change a review score. A route or property we're paid to promote gets the same testing process as one where we earn nothing. We've turned down partnership terms that would have required a minimum star rating or guaranteed placement — if a program asks for that, we don't work with it.

Which links are affiliate links

• Links labeled "Book" or "Check rates" on airline and hotel review pages typically route through an affiliate or partner program.
• Links to booking platforms (such as a hotel-booking site or eSIM provider) inside a comparison guide are usually affiliate links.
• Links inside the article body that point to an airline's own site for a fare or schedule reference are not affiliate links.
• Outbound links to other publications, government travel advisories, or airline policy pages are never affiliate links.

How we test regardless of commission

Every hotel stay we review is booked and paid for at the standard public rate, on a card we hold for testing — we don't accept comped stays in exchange for a review. Flight testing is done on tickets purchased the same way any reader would buy them. If a score changes after publishing, we date the correction rather than editing the original number silently.
