Orkney Stays

Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 10, 2026

Our Affiliate Partnerships

Orkney Stays participates in affiliate programmes with Booking.com (via CJ Affiliate) and Hotels.com (via Partnerize). This means that when you click on a booking link on our website and make a reservation, we may earn a commission from the booking platform.

What This Means for You

  • No extra cost: You pay exactly the same price as you would if you visited Booking.com or Hotels.com directly. Our commission comes from the booking platform, not from you.
  • Same deals and offers: Any discounts, promotions, or loyalty benefits available on the booking platform apply in full when you book through our links.
  • Your booking is with the platform: When you click through and complete a booking, your contract is directly with Booking.com or Hotels.com. Their terms, cancellation policies, and customer support apply.

How We Choose Properties

Our property listings and recommendations are based on our own editorial judgement. We feature properties that we believe offer good quality accommodation for visitors to the Orkney Islands. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence which properties we list, how we describe them, or how they are ranked on our website.

Ratings and review scores shown on property pages come from verified guest reviews on Booking.com and are not created or edited by us.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

On each property page, the “Check Availability” button links to the property's listing on Booking.com or Hotels.com. A disclosure notice appears directly below the button confirming that we earn a commission if you book through it.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

The commissions we earn from affiliate partnerships help us maintain and improve Orkney Stays. This income supports the cost of running the website, creating content about the Orkney Islands, and keeping our property information up to date — all at no cost to our visitors.

Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) CAP Code, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and the terms of our affiliate programme agreements.
