Editorial Standards & Review Criteria
The integrity of our travel journalism is paramount. Every guide, hotel review, and itinerary published on Ho-liday.com adheres to the following rigorous standards.
1. Firsthand Inspection & Research
We do not rely on PR press releases or stock descriptions. Our recommendations are curated by writers, regional residents, and journalists who have visited the destinations, walked the neighbourhoods, and inspected the rooms.
2. Balanced Pros & Cons
No hotel is perfect for everyone. Every hotel review in our magazine is required to list verified drawbacks—whether it is steep stairs down to the beach, high peak-season rates, noise from nearby beach clubs, or a location that requires a taxi.
3. Regular Content Audits
Destination landscapes change rapidly. We conduct seasonal audits to update pricing benchmarks, check that hotels maintain their service levels, verify ferry or flight schedules, and archive outdated advice.
