Stays
- We describe only what we can verify. A property feature is built from published facts and documented sources, not from implication.
- We never claim a first-hand stay that did not happen. If a writer stayed as a guest of the property, the piece says so.
- We accept no payment for coverage. A hosted stay does not buy a favorable write-up, and it is disclosed every time.
Rankings
- The Golden Key 100 publishes its full methodology: the scoring rubric, the judges, and the conflict rules.
- Rankings are never sold. Sponsored work stays clearly separated from judged content.
- Any judge with a commercial interest in a nominated property is recused, and recusals are published.
Products
- Object features use verified maker specifications. We do not invent testing we did not do.
- Prices appear only when published by the maker. Availability is never invented.
