Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: November 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At initiondigital.com, we believe in being upfront and honest with our visitors. This disclosure explains how we earn revenue and how it may affect the content you see on our website.
How We Make Money
initiondigital.com is a free resource that helps travelers compare and discover luxury hotels worldwide. To keep our site running and continue providing valuable content, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
What This Means
When you click on a booking link on our website and make a reservation, we may earn a commission from the booking platform. These are the types of links you'll find on our site:
- Booking.com — Hotel reservations
- Hotels.com — Hotel reservations
- Expedia — Hotel reservations
Important: You pay the same price whether you use our links or go directly to the booking site. Our commission comes from the booking platform, not from you.
How Affiliate Links Work
- You browse hotels on our website and find one you like
- You click on a "Book Now" or similar button
- You're redirected to the booking platform's website (Booking.com, Hotels.com, Expedia, etc.)
- You complete your reservation on their website
- If you book, we receive a small commission from the booking platform
Our Editorial Independence
Our reviews and recommendations are not influenced by affiliate relationships.
We feature hotels based on:
- Quality of accommodations and amenities
- Guest experience and service standards
- Value for the price point
- Unique features and highlights
We do not:
- Accept payment from hotels for favorable reviews
- Prioritize hotels based on commission rates
- Hide negative aspects of properties to encourage bookings
- Recommend hotels we wouldn't stay at ourselves
Identifying Affiliate Links
Links that lead to external booking sites are affiliate links. These typically appear as:
- "Book Now" buttons
- "Book on Booking.com" links
- "Book on Hotels.com" links
- "Book on Expedia" links
- Any link that takes you to a third-party booking platform
Third-Party Booking Sites
When you click our affiliate links, you leave initiondigital.com and visit a third-party website. Please note:
- We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of these external sites
- Your booking is made directly with the third-party platform
- Any issues with your reservation should be addressed with the booking platform or hotel directly
- Prices, availability, and terms are determined by the booking platform, not by us
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate commissions allow us to:
- Maintain and improve our website
- Research and add new hotels to our database
- Provide free, unbiased hotel comparisons
- Keep our content updated and accurate
- Operate without charging visitors or requiring subscriptions
Your Choice
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can:
