Affiliate Disclosure: How Hotel Tip Waikiki Makes Money
Last updated
Hotel Tip Waikiki is free to read. We pay for research, writing and hosting through one source: the Booking.com Affiliate Partner Program (affiliate ID 8136433).
How it works
When you click a Booking.com link on our site, such as “Check Prices” on a hotel card, or search with our hotel search box, and then make a booking, Booking.com may pay us a commission. Using our link doesn’t change the price you pay. Booking.com links carry our affiliate ID and a label naming the page and link you clicked, which tells us which guides lead to bookings; it doesn’t tell us who you are. Pages with affiliate links show a short notice near the top.
What commissions don’t change
- Rankings and reviews are never sold. Hotels cannot pay for a placement, a review or a better position.
- A hotel’s place in a ranking doesn’t depend on whether, or how much, it earns us.
- When booking directly with a hotel is cheaper, for example at hotels that waive their resort fee on direct bookings, we say so, even though a direct booking earns us nothing.
- We show the full cost, including resort fees, tax and parking, even when it makes a hotel look less attractive.
What else to know
We don’t publish sponsored posts or run display ads. If that ever changes, we will label it clearly and update this page. Booking.com handles your booking and payment under its own terms and privacy statement; for help with a reservation, contact Booking.com or the hotel.
To see how we choose and rank hotels, read how we review hotels; for what happens to your data when you click a link, see our privacy policy. Questions? Email editorial@hoteltipwaikiki.com.
