affiliate disclosure

short version: some outbound links here earn this site a commission. nothing on travell.cc is sponsored. the two are not the same thing, and the difference is the whole point.

as of right now, no affiliate programs are active on this site. outbound links to booking sites and delivery apps are plain links and earn nothing. this page is published in advance so the terms are on the record before that changes.

what an affiliate link is

a link to a hotel booking site, a tour operator or a delivery app that carries a tracking code. if you click it and then book or order, the company pays this site a small share of its own fee. you pay exactly the same price you would have paid going there directly.

what it does not change

which places get recommended, and which get called overrated. the rankings on this site come out of published reviews and research, and the critical verdicts stay in — there are guides here that tell you to skip the most famous restaurant in a city, and guides that tell you a hotel's "lake view" is oversold. a commission on a booking link does not buy a better write-up, because the write-up is the only asset this site has.

if a place is not worth it, it is still described as not worth it, affiliate link or not.

no sponsorships

nobody pays for coverage here. no hotel, restaurant, tour or brand has ever paid to appear on travell.cc, to be ranked higher, or to have criticism removed. if that ever changes for a specific piece of content, that piece will say so at the top, in plain language, and it will say it before you read the recommendation rather than after.

what this site has not done

worth stating plainly, because a lot of travel sites imply otherwise. the guides here are built from published reviews, menus, government orders, conservation records and reporting — not from visits. nobody from travell.cc has stayed at the hotels or eaten at most of the restaurants covered. every guide says so in its own introduction, and every rating is labelled as a composite of other people's published reviews rather than a personal score.

hotel guides deliberately quote no nightly rates at all, because rates move weekly and a number published in october is wrong by december. restaurant guides do quote prices, because menu prices are stable and checkable, and each one states where the figure came from and that it has probably crept up since.

where disclosure appears

on any page carrying affiliate links, a notice sits directly under the title — above the first link, not buried at the bottom. that is what the ftc guidelines and india's asci code both ask for, and it is the only placement that is actually honest.

questions

if something here reads as compromised, say so and it gets looked at.hey@rahul.biz.
