Editorial and correction standards

StayMatch Asia publishes hotel decision guidance based on attributed provider facts, mapped coordinates and clearly identified planning advice.

Evidence behind each recommendation

• Agoda supplies hotel identities, photos, stars and guest-review aggregates. A retrieval date identifies the sample; it is not an inspection date.
• OpenStreetMap supplies linked attraction coordinates. Distances are calculated straight-line estimates, with no walking-time claim.
• Tourism sources inform the linked contextual advice where available. Our planning interpretations are labeled separately.

What we do not infer

We do not infer family suitability, quietness, accessibility, amenities or cancellation terms from a star rating, photo or score. We do not claim firsthand stays or comprehensive market coverage. Sample comparisons use the records available on the destination page.

Freshness and corrections

Hotel facts and live offers have different timestamps. Catalogue refreshes do not renew editorial review dates. A correction should identify the page, the disputed fact and a supporting source. Supported corrections update the affected content and its relevant date; unavailable facts are removed rather than filled with assumptions.

Affiliate independence

Qualifying Agoda bookings can generate a commission. Our match calculation uses the published criteria, without a commission multiplier. Agoda confirms the final booking details.
