How this is different
- Sourced, not written up. Each fact links to the agency or hotel page it came from, with a quote. How we verify.
- Dated per fact. Every rule carries the day it was checked, a re-check schedule and a freshness word (fresh, due, stale, unreadable). Newest check: November 1, 2026. Accuracy scorecard.
- Nothing is filled in. When a source does not state a fee or a limit, the page says "not stated by the source."
- Independent. Verification is never for sale. Saw something wrong? Suggest a correction; we re-check the source and log the result.
