How We Choose Hotels

Dream Stays & Spas helps readers find a stay that fits the trip they want to take. We compare the character and setting of a property, its location, and the kind of hotel or wellness experience it offers.

We compare the experience

Each guide explains what a stay may be best suited for, such as a resort-centred spa weekend, a quiet lakeside break or a convenient base for exploring a town. We also distinguish amenities on the property from nearby experiences that need to be booked separately.

We use public and official information

Our research draws on hotel and service-provider websites and other public sources. We link to official provider pages so readers can check current prices, availability, facilities and booking conditions directly.

Research, not an implied review

Unless a guide explicitly says otherwise, our descriptions are based on research and do not mean that we have stayed at or personally inspected a property. Images may show the destination rather than the hotel; captions identify them where used.

Keeping Information Current

Hotel details and services can change. Please confirm current information directly with the provider before booking.
