Our Approach
Why TheChosenStay?
No paid placements
Every property earns its place on merit. We have never accepted payment for inclusion, and we never will. Our recommendations exist to serve travellers, not property owners.
Independently curated
Our editorial team researches and assesses each property themselves, reviewing photography, guest experiences, design quality and location before a single word is written.
Built for discerning travellers
We cut through thousands of listings so you don't have to. If it's on TheChosenStay, it has already passed our standard. Every stay is genuinely worth considering.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How are properties selected?
Every property on TheChosenStay is independently identified and assessed by our editorial team. We evaluate quality, uniqueness and guest experience. No property can pay for inclusion. Selection is purely on merit.
What types of properties do you feature?
We feature luxury villas, ski chalets, private estates and exceptional boutique residences. Each property must meet our standards for design, service and overall experience before it earns a place in the directory.
Do you charge booking fees?
TheChosenStay is free to use. We earn a commission from our booking partners when you book via our links, at no extra cost to you. This keeps the directory independent and free of pay-to-list bias.
Which destinations do you cover?
We cover luxury destinations worldwide, from European coastal villas to mountain retreats in the Americas and beyond. New destinations are added regularly as our editorial team identifies properties genuinely worth travelling for.
