About
How this guide is made
Every fact in this guide comes from a named public source: open data for places, climate and airports, and each operator's own public pages for the places to stay. Nothing is paid for, and no place pays to be listed or ranked.
How places to stay are ranked
By the guest score each operator publishes — on its own scale, shown as published — converted to a ten-point scale for ordering, and weighted by the number of reviews: a prior of 7.5 worth 200 reviews is mixed in, so a handful of perfect scores cannot outrank thousands of very good ones.
Room counts are each operator’s own where it publishes one, and an estimate where it does not. Amenities are read from the operator’s own words.
This guide does not sell rooms and shows no prices. Each place to stay links to its own website.

Who runs this site
Where to Stay is run by the team behind Nexa AI, which gives AI assistants and travellers live availability and final prices for hotels and apartments. Where Nexa AI covers the same place or property, the page links to it; nothing in this guide's facts or rankings depends on that, and no place pays to be listed or ranked.
