Welcome to Travel Stay Guide.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Travel Stay Guide website, including its articles, destination guides, hotel recommendations, newsletters, contact forms, and other content or services made available through the website.
In these Terms, “Travel Stay Guide,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Travel Stay Guide. “You” and “your” refer to anyone who accesses or uses the website.
By accessing or using Travel Stay Guide, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
1. About Travel Stay Guide
Travel Stay Guide is an independent travel information website. We publish accommodation research, hotel recommendations, neighborhood comparisons, destination guides, itineraries, transportation information, travel-cost estimates, and general trip-planning content.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Travel Stay Guide:
- Does not own or operate any hotel, airline, booking platform, tour company, transportation provider, restaurant, attraction, or travel agency
- Does not directly sell accommodation, transportation, tours, or travel packages
- Is not a party to transactions completed through third-party websites
- Cannot access, change, cancel, or refund reservations made with third-party providers
Any booking or purchase you make through another website is governed by the terms and policies of that provider.
2. Informational Purposes Only
The content on Travel Stay Guide is provided for general informational and trip-planning purposes.
It is not legal, immigration, medical, health, safety, financial, insurance, or other professional advice. You should consult an appropriate professional or official authority when advice specific to your circumstances is required.
Travel decisions involve personal preferences and risks. You are responsible for evaluating the suitability, safety, cost, and availability of any destination, accommodation, activity, transportation option, or service before relying on our content.
3. Accuracy and Timeliness
We aim to provide useful and carefully researched information, but travel information can change without notice.
Changes may affect:
- Hotel names, ownership, facilities, policies, and availability
- Room rates, taxes, resort fees, and other charges
- Transportation routes, schedules, fares, and operating hours
- Visa, passport, entry, health, and insurance requirements
- Attraction prices, opening hours, and reservation procedures
- Local laws, safety conditions, weather, events, and construction
- Products, services, promotions, and booking conditions
We do not guarantee that every page is complete, accurate, current, or free from errors.
Before booking or traveling, you should verify important information with the relevant hotel, booking provider, transportation operator, tourism authority, embassy, government agency, or other official source.
The date on which an article was published or updated does not guarantee that every detail was checked on that date.
4. Hotel and Accommodation Recommendations
Hotel and accommodation recommendations reflect editorial research and judgment at the time the content is prepared or updated.
Recommendations may be based on factors such as:
- Location and neighborhood
- Access to public transportation
- Proximity to attractions
- Available room types and facilities
- Suitability for different types of travelers
- Published property information
- Recent guest feedback
- General value relative to comparable options
- First-hand experience, where expressly stated
We do not claim to have personally stayed at every property featured on the website. Unless an article clearly states that it is based on a first-hand stay, you should treat the recommendation as an editorially researched recommendation rather than a personal hotel review.
A property that is suitable for one traveler may not be suitable for another. You are responsible for reviewing current photographs, policies, accessibility information, room details, location, fees, cancellation terms, and recent guest feedback before booking.
Inclusion on Travel Stay Guide does not constitute a guarantee of quality, safety, availability, or satisfaction.
5. Prices and Availability
Prices mentioned on Travel Stay Guide are estimates or examples unless expressly stated otherwise.
Hotel rates and other travel prices may vary according to:
- Travel dates
- Season and local events
- Availability and demand
- Room or ticket type
- Number and age of travelers
- Currency and exchange-rate changes
- Taxes, service charges, and local fees
- Membership status or promotional conditions
- The website or device used to make a booking
We do not guarantee that a quoted, displayed, or estimated price will be available when you visit a third-party website.
The final price and booking conditions shown by the relevant provider should be reviewed before payment.
6. Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships
Travel Stay Guide may participate in affiliate marketing programs.
Some links on the website may be affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying booking or purchase, we may receive a commission or other benefit. This usually does not increase the price you pay, although pricing and terms are controlled by the third-party provider.
Affiliate relationships help support the operation, research, maintenance, and development of Travel Stay Guide.
A commercial relationship does not guarantee inclusion in our content or a favorable recommendation. Where required or appropriate, we aim to identify affiliate relationships, sponsorships, advertisements, complimentary stays, gifted products, and other material commercial connections.
Please read our separate Affiliate Disclosure for additional information.
7. Sponsored Content and Advertising
Travel Stay Guide may publish sponsored content or display advertising.
Sponsored content will be identified using an appropriate disclosure. Advertisers and commercial partners are responsible for the accuracy and legality of the claims they provide.
Unless expressly stated, the appearance of an advertisement does not mean that Travel Stay Guide has personally tested, verified, or endorsed the advertised product or service.
We may refuse, remove, or discontinue advertising or sponsored content at our discretion, subject to any applicable contractual obligations.
8. Third-Party Websites and Services
Travel Stay Guide may contain links to websites and services operated by third parties.
These may include:
- Hotel and travel-booking platforms
- Airlines and transportation operators
- Tour and attraction providers
- Insurance providers
- Map and navigation services
- Tourism organizations
- Restaurants and local businesses
- Social-media platforms
- Advertising and affiliate networks
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, content, prices, products, services, privacy practices, or terms.
A link does not necessarily imply endorsement.
You should review the terms, privacy policy, cancellation policy, refund conditions, payment terms, and other relevant information of a third-party provider before completing a transaction.
Any dispute concerning a third-party booking, payment, cancellation, refund, product, or service must be addressed directly with the relevant provider.
9. Travel Risks
Travel may involve risks, including illness, injury, theft, crime, severe weather, transportation disruption, political unrest, natural disasters, financial loss, and changes to entry requirements.
Nothing published on Travel Stay Guide guarantees that a destination, neighborhood, property, route, activity, or service is safe or suitable in every circumstance.
Safety conditions may differ by location and may change quickly. You are responsible for:
- Reviewing current official travel advisories
- Checking entry and health requirements
- Obtaining appropriate travel and medical insurance
- Assessing your own health and physical abilities
- Following local laws and instructions
