If we could not confirm it, we left it out.

Where facts come from

We rank sources in three tiers and name them at the foot of each page.

• Tier 1. The hotel or venue itself, and the state or territory regulator.
• Tier 2. Government tourism bodies and official press material.
• Tier 3. Everything else. A fact that rests only on tier 3 is not published.

We read the page itself and keep the exact wording that supports each fact. We do not write from memory. When a fact cannot be confirmed, the page simply does not have that line. An empty space is more honest than a guess.

Walking times are measured

The walk from a hotel to its venue is a route measured on OpenStreetMap from the hotel to the venue, the same way for every hotel. Where the venue's official map point lies inside a large building, we measure to the nearest walkable point on its frontage and say so on the page. We do not copy the hotel's own claim. If a hotel says it is "moments away", we may quote that and still show the measured minutes.

Photos

Photos come from Wikimedia Commons and other free sources, with the author and licence under each image. We never show a generated image as a real place. Where there is no free photo of the hotel building, we show the area around it instead. Those photos carry the tag "The area" and a caption that says so.

Dates

The sources list on each page shows the date the pages were opened. Opening hours, dress codes and licence conditions change, so check with the venue before you travel.

If a detail is out of date

Details go out of date. If something here no longer matches the official source, the official source is right. Tell us at [email protected] and we will fix the page.
