WhereToStayMexico is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you book a hotel or service through them — at no extra cost to you.
We want to be upfront about how this works, so here’s the full picture.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click a hotel or activity link on our site and complete a booking, we may receive a small commission from the booking platform. This commission comes out of the platform’s margin — not your wallet. You pay exactly the same price as if you’d gone to the booking site directly.
Who We Partner With
We use Stay22 as our affiliate partner. Stay22 is a travel monetization platform that connects our recommendations to Booking.com (for hotels) and Tripadvisor (for things to do, tours, and experiences). When you click a link on WhereToStayMexico, you’ll be redirected to one of these platforms to complete your booking.
Our Editorial Independence
This matters to us, so we want to be clear:
- We do not accept payment for positive reviews. Ever.
- We do not publish sponsored posts. What you read on this site reflects our honest opinions.
- Commissions don’t influence our recommendations. We only recommend hotels, neighborhoods, and places we’d actually send our friends to.
- We earn the same whether you book the hotel we love or the one next door. So there’s no reason for us to steer you wrong.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a travel site takes time and money — research trips, hosting fees, photography, and countless hours writing and updating guides. Affiliate commissions are how we keep WhereToStayMexico free for you to read, without cluttering the site with intrusive ads or selling your data.
When you book through our links, you’re helping us keep the lights on and produce more honest travel content. Thank you.
FTC Disclosure Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255 (“Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”), we disclose that WhereToStayMexico has a material connection with Booking.com and Tripadvisor through our participation in the Stay22 affiliate program. We may earn commissions on qualifying bookings made through links on this site.
