We verify current hotel facts against primary sources whenever possible, including official hotel websites, Michelin and Atout France. If we have not stayed overnight, we do not write as if we have. That means no invented mattress impressions, service anecdotes or numerical scores presented as first-hand reviews.
The purpose of each hotel page is to make a high-cost booking decision easier: what distinguishes the hotel, which room categories matter, who it suits, what its trade-offs are and which alternatives deserve comparison.
