How we research, write, review, and correct everything on Villas For Kings — and how to tell us when we get it wrong. This is the accountability document that sits behind every byline.
Every editorial page is written by a named editor and reviewed by a second named editor. The two co-founders carry final editorial responsibility:
The wider reviewer team is distributed across the destinations we cover and is listed on the team page. Every villa review carries the name of the person who saw the property and the dates of their visit.
Drafting is AI-assisted. Every page is then edited, fact-checked, and signed by a named human editor who is accountable for its accuracy. AI is a drafting tool here, never the author of record and never the fact-checker.
This site is editorially independent. We earn no affiliate commission and accept no payment to influence rankings. No platform, villa owner, or management company can pay to appear, to rank higher, or to have a passed-on verdict removed. Sponsored placements, where they exist, are labeled and never ranked. The full revenue breakdown is on the how-we-make-money page.
Editors book and pay for their own stays unless a page explicitly discloses otherwise. When a stay is hosted, the page says so and the property is excluded from ranked positions for that cycle.
When we get a fact wrong — a rate, a distance, an amenity, an ownership change — we correct the page and update its last-updated date. Material corrections (anything that changes a verdict or a ranking) are noted on the page itself.
To report an error, use the contact page. Every reader correction is reviewed by an editor within five business days. If you have stayed in a villa we cover, ranked or passed-on, and your experience differs from our description, we want the report: we update or remove on verification.
