What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link is a URL that contains a unique tracking code identifying us as the referring site. When you click one of our links and then complete a booking on the partner's website, the partner can see that you came from rentapartment.me and pays us a commission.
This is one of the most common ways travel websites operate — and it's the model used by major travel publishers, review sites, and comparison platforms worldwide.
You can identify affiliate links on this site because they go to our partners' domains
(booking.com, getyourguide.com, viator.com, busticket4.me) and may contain parameters
like aid=, partner_id=, or ref= in the URL.
Does this cost you anything?
No. The price you pay on Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Viator or busticket4.me is exactly the same whether you arrived from our site or typed their URL directly.
Our commission is paid by the partner platform out of their own margin — not added on top of your booking price. This is a standard industry arrangement and is written into our partner agreements.
Our partners
These are the affiliate programs we currently participate in:
We earn a commission when you complete a booking through our search widget or any Booking.com link on this site. The commission is paid by the property, not by you.
We earn a commission when you book a tour or activity through a GetYourGuide link on this site. The commission is included in the tour price set by GetYourGuide — it does not change what you pay.
Similar to GetYourGuide — we earn a commission on completed Viator bookings. Viator sets the price; our commission comes from their margin, not from your pocket.
We may earn a referral fee when you book bus tickets through busticket4.me via our links. Ticket prices are the same as booking directly on busticket4.me.
How this affects our recommendations
We are aware that affiliate income creates a potential conflict of interest — a site could theoretically recommend whatever pays the highest commission rather than what is genuinely best for you.
Our approach is straightforward: we only link to destinations, tours and services we believe are worth recommending. We do not accept payment for placement, sponsored reviews, or inflated ratings. Commission rates do not influence which tours or properties we feature.
If we wouldn't book something ourselves, we don't recommend it to you. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, and it's the only way this site makes sense as a business long term — repeat visitors require trust.
FTC and EU compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and the EU's requirements under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive for transparency in commercial communications.
Affiliate links on this site are marked with rel="sponsored" in the
HTML, which is Google's recommended practice for disclosing paid placements to search engines.
