How we rank

Two systems, kept apart. The first decides the order. The second only exists after you have chosen.

ARanking: what decides the order

1Your answersWhat you told us about the trip
2Must-havesAnything marked Essential, or not confirmable, removes a resort
3Verified scoresWeighed by how much each matters to you
4The orderRules version 1.2.0, so a result can be reproduced

Commission never crosses this line

BPartner links: only after you choose a resort

1A partner linkShown only if we have one for that resort. No link, no button.
2The booking providerConfirms the live price. Some links pay us a fee if you book.

Ranking code has no access to partner or commission data, and an automated test checks that.

What we call known

A score or fact appears only when it has a source and a check date. Otherwise the row says it isn't verified, and a resort with less verified data is discounted rather than guessed at.

Prices are estimates from a checked price band. Live prices are confirmed by the booking provider.
