Our Methodology

How recommendations work

You type a travel request in plain language. An AI model parses it into structured search parameters (destination, dates, guests) — that is the AI's only role in selecting hotels. We then run a live hotel search against Skyscanner's Hotels API and show real results in Skyscanner's own ranking order. No hotel, price, rating, or booking link is ever fabricated.

What "verified" means

"Verified" means every hotel shown comes directly from live Skyscanner partner inventory at the moment you search: real property, real availability, real bookable price, and a booking link that goes to the actual offer. It is not an editorial endorsement or a quality certification.

How prices are checked

Each card shows the nightly rate returned by the live search, plus an estimated total for your dates before taxes and fees (Skyscanner lists taxes and fees separately). Prices are pulled at search time, so what you see reflects availability when you searched; the final price is always confirmed on the partner's booking page.

How often data updates

Hotel results are fetched live for every new search. Shareable comparison pages are cached for up to 30 days and refresh automatically when stale. [PLACEHOLDER: Owner to confirm/expand data-update specifics, e.g. cache windows and any scheduled refreshes.]
