How we make money.

Lehotelist earns money in exactly one way right now: affiliate commissions from hotel bookings.

When you click the “Check rates & book” button on a hotel page and then book through one of the online travel agencies that shows up (Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Airbnb, and others), the travel agency pays us a small commission. It costs you nothing — the price is the same whether you go through us or straight to the booking site.

We use a service called Stay22 to handle this. They aggregate all the major booking platforms so you can compare prices in one place, and they split the commission with us.

What this doesn’t mean

Hotels do not pay us to be listed. Every hotel on this site is here because we think it belongs — not because someone paid to be included. We may later offer hotels the option to upgrade to a featured listing, and if we do, those will be clearly marked.

Reviews are not paid for.The write-ups on this site are our own editorial. We never accept payment for a review, and we disclose when we’ve been hosted for a stay.

Commission rates do not affect rankings.We don’t push you toward the booking platform that pays us more. Stay22 shows you every option side-by-side and you pick the one you want.

You can always book direct.Every hotel page also links to the hotel’s own website. If you book direct, we earn nothing — and that’s fine. Independent hotels prefer direct bookings, and so do we.

FTC disclosure

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides: booking links on this site are affiliate links. Lehotelist may earn a commission when you make a booking through one of these links. This does not change what you pay.
