Full transparency about how ArenaFanStay makes money
The short version: ArenaFanStay earns a small commission when you book a hotel through links on this site. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you — you pay the same price as booking directly. These commissions help us keep all guides free and independent.
Affiliate marketing is an arrangement between a website (us) and a booking platform (such as Booking.com or Hotels.com) where we earn a referral fee when a user clicks our link and completes a qualifying action — in our case, making a hotel booking.
This is a standard practice used across the travel industry and does not affect the price you pay. The commission is paid by the booking platform out of their own margin.
On ArenaFanStay, any button labelled "Check Availability" is an affiliate link. These buttons appear on hotel listing cards throughout our hotel guides and blog posts. When you click one of these buttons and make a booking, we may earn a commission.
We clearly label all such buttons so there is no ambiguity. We do not use hidden affiliate links or disguise them as regular text links.
We currently work with the following booking platforms through their official affiliate programmes:
No — and this is very important to us. Our hotel recommendations are based entirely on location, verified guest ratings and overall value for money. We do not accept payment from hotels or booking platforms to feature specific properties, and we do not rank hotels based on commission rates.
In accordance with FTC guidelines, UK ASA guidelines and EU consumer protection law, we are required to disclose any material connection between us and the products or services we recommend. The affiliate relationships described above constitute such a connection, and we disclose them transparently on this page and throughout our site.
When you click an affiliate link on our site, a tracking cookie is placed by our affiliate partner to record whether a qualifying booking is made. These cookies typically last 30 days. You can clear these cookies at any time through your browser settings. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, please contact us. We are committed to full transparency.
