Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency about our partnerships and how we fund our haunted hotel research
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Haunted Hosts, we believe in complete transparency about how our site operates and how we fund our extensive research into Britain's most haunted accommodations.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain tracking codes. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, the merchant can identify that you came from our site. In return, they pay us a small commission - typically 2-8% of your booking value.
Important: No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links never costs you anything extra. The commission comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not from an additional charge to you. In many cases, you may even find exclusive deals through our partner links.
Our Affiliate Partners
We currently work with the following trusted booking platforms:
Expedia
Commission Junction Network
One of the world's largest travel booking platforms, offering competitive rates and comprehensive hotel information for our featured haunted properties.
Future Partnerships
We continuously evaluate new booking platforms to provide you with more options and competitive rates for haunted accommodation experiences. As we establish new partnerships, we'll update this disclosure accordingly.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate Relationships Do NOT Influence Our Content
We want to be absolutely clear: our editorial decisions are completely independent of any affiliate relationships. We do not feature hotels because they offer higher commissions, and we do not exclude hotels because they don't have affiliate programs.
Our Selection Criteria
Every hotel featured on Haunted Hosts UK must meet our strict criteria:
- Documented Paranormal Activity: Verified ghost sightings and historical records
- Guest Safety & Comfort: Professional management and modern amenities
- Historical Significance: Rich heritage and architectural importance
- Guest Testimonials: Positive reviews about both accommodation and paranormal experiences
We research each property extensively, often visiting in person, before adding it to our directory. Affiliate partnerships are only established after we've decided to feature a hotel, never before.
How Affiliate Commissions Help Our Mission
The commissions we earn from affiliate partnerships directly support our mission to document and preserve Britain's haunted hotel heritage. Here's how:
Site Maintenance
Hosting, security, and technical infrastructure to keep our site running smoothly
Research Travel
Funding site visits to verify paranormal claims and document new haunted locations
Content Creation
Historical research, ghost story documentation, and creating detailed hotel guides
Direct Booking vs. Affiliate Links
We always provide multiple booking options where possible. You'll typically find:
- Direct Hotel Links: Book directly with the hotel (no commission to us)
- Affiliate Partner Links: Book through our partners (we earn a commission)
Choose What Works Best for You
We encourage you to compare prices and choose the option that offers the best value. Sometimes direct booking offers perks like free breakfast or room upgrades. Other times, our affiliate partners have exclusive deals or better cancellation policies.
