Affiliate links
Some links on MASA — the “Check rates” and “See tours” buttons beside a recommendation — are affiliate links. If you book through one, the company pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. We work with Booking.com.
Every paid link is marked ad beside the button where you click it, and carries rel="sponsored" for search engines. A link that is not paid is not marked, and does not claim to be.
Money never buys coverage. Hotels, restaurants and experiences appear in our stories because our editors consider them genuinely worth your time — commissions have no influence on what we recommend or how we rate it. Every place named in a recommendation was named first in a published, fact-checked story; the button is only a way to act on something we had already written.
Editorial independence
Ratings on MASA (the score out of 10 you see on stays and restaurants) are editorial opinions. We do not accept payment for reviews, placements or rankings.
Photography
Photography on MASA comes from the photographer communities on Unsplash and Pexels under their respective licenses, with photographer attribution displayed alongside images wherever it is available.
Accuracy
We work hard to keep every fact accurate at the time of writing, and volatile details (prices, opening hours) are framed as approximate. Things change — always confirm with official websites before you travel. Spotted an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
