Editorial Policy

Editorial Independence

Sunbed Ranker maintains strict editorial independence. Our content team operates independently from our commercial partnerships. Hotel reviews, ratings, and editorial recommendations are never influenced by advertising relationships or affiliate partnerships.

Hotels that have claimed their profiles may provide additional information and imagery, but they cannot influence their scores or editorial coverage. Our reviews reflect the genuine quality of each hotel's pool experience.

Content Standards

All content published on Sunbed Ranker must meet these standards:

• Accuracy: All facts, figures, and claims must be verified before publication.
• Originality: We publish only original content. All articles are written by our editorial team or vetted contributors.
• Usefulness: Content must provide genuine value to travelers planning their holidays.
• Timeliness: Hotel reviews and destination guides are regularly updated to reflect current conditions.
• Fairness: All hotels are assessed using the same criteria, regardless of commercial relationships.
• Disclosure: Affiliate relationships and sponsored content are always clearly disclosed.

Affiliate Links & Revenue

Sunbed Ranker earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with hotel booking platforms. When you click on a booking link and make a reservation, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

These commercial relationships never influence our editorial content, ratings, or recommendations. A hotel's affiliate relationship has no bearing on its score or placement in our rankings.
