How can we help?
Today, when searching for a hotel, you often find yourself scrolling through thousands of options, with no clear way to understand how to choose the best one for you. We're here to help with that.

How do we choose hotels?
The information that we collect is divided into two categories: hard facts and subjective views. To understand this, let’s consider the scenario of compiling a list titled 'Hotels in Tenerife with an Amazing Pool for a Great Vacation', and imagine we've come across a hotel that we are considering for inclusion in the list. The hotel's website states that it has a pool. We generally trust hotels to provide accurate information, so for us, this is a hard fact. However, pools vary in size and shape. Simply having a pool does not guarantee automatic inclusion on our list.

This is where the subjective view becomes important. 'Amazing' is subjective and cannot be proven in a single way. At this stage, we seek evidence to determine whether the pool qualifies as amazing, based on our own criteria and assumptions about what our users consider amazing. There are several ways we approach this. Firstly, we look for photos. Upon finding photos, we investigate them carefully, knowing the impact that skilled photographers can have. Additionally, we explore the hotel's description. We assume that these descriptions are carefully crafted to convey exactly what awaits guests. Another valuable resource is guest reviews on travel websites. If numerous recent reviews praise the pool as amazing and no negative comments are found regarding its size or quality, we feel confident in assuming that the pool meets our standards.

By considering all these factors and more, we ensure that the information we provide is accurate and meets our high standards.

This is why we've developed this website: to assist you in finding hotels that align with your expectations. We understand the frustration of searching for a hotel with a fantastic pool, only to discover that the pool falls short of expectations in reality.

Do we use AI?
Yes and no.
‍
Yes: We believe that not using tools like ChatGPT these days is like lighting a fire with sticks. It is a great tool that helps us be way more productive.

No: We do not use ChatGPT or any AI tool in a way that will make you read false information. For example, when we just started playing around with ChatGPT, we asked it for recommendations for hotels in the Costa Brava region near Barcelona. Some hotels were in Costa Brava, others in Barcelona, which is nearby, but not what we've asked for, and many hotels we got don’t even exist. We use AI mostly for writing our texts a lot faster and not for getting information. When we do ask for information, we always verify the results to make sure we get good and accurate information.

Where do we get our images from?
We will never use an image in an illegal or unethical way.

When we use photos of hotels, there are two options:
1. We use photos that the hotels kindly gave us clear permission to use after we contacted them.
2. We use the Embed feature of Instagram. When we do that, the image will show with a frame of Instagram, and a click on the image will direct users to Instagram. We aim to minimize the usage of this method, mostly because we don’t believe it is very convenient and does not have a good flow. When we do choose to use it, we always select images from the hotel’s official account, and we do our best not to use images that were posted by guests and then reposted by the hotel.

Regarding other images, we mostly use Unsplash or Canva.

Do we get paid to advertise hotels?
No.
