NewYorkHotels.co.uk is a participant in the CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction) network as a publisher partner of Hotels.com. We earn commissions from qualifying purchases.
When you click a "Check Prices on Hotels.com" or similar link on our site, you're redirected to Hotels.com via a tracked affiliate link. If you complete a booking on Hotels.com within their standard cookie window (typically 7 days), we earn a small commission from Hotels.com on that booking. The commission comes from Hotels.com's marketing budget — never from you. The price you pay for any hotel is identical to what you'd pay if you went directly to Hotels.com.
It doesn't. Our hotel and neighborhood recommendations are based on independent research and editorial judgment against the same criteria for every property: location, value, suitability for the target traveller (family, couple, hen do, etc.), reviews, and our own knowledge of NYC. Hotels cannot pay us for inclusion or higher rankings. We do not accept "sponsored review" arrangements. We do not favour hotels that happen to pay higher commission rates — we have no preference between commission tiers and weight purely on merit.
All Hotels.com links on this site go through CJ's tracking system (URLs typically begin with www.anrdoezrs.net/click-... or similar CJ click-tracking domains). They include the rel="sponsored" attribute for transparency to web browsers and search engines. Buttons and CTAs explicitly say "Check Prices on Hotels.com" or "Search Hotels.com" — we don't disguise them.
The commission we earn from Hotels.com via CJ pays for the running of this site — domain hosting, image storage, the time spent researching and writing reviews. Without this revenue we'd need to charge for content (paywall) or accept paid sponsorship arrangements (which would compromise editorial independence). The affiliate model lets us keep the site free and the recommendations honest.
When you click an affiliate link, a CJ tracking cookie is placed in your browser. The cookie tracks your booking attribution for the standard window (typically 7 days). It does not collect personal information beyond what's standard for the affiliate booking flow; we never see your name, contact details, or specific booking. We see only aggregate data — number of clicks, conversion rates, and total commission earned per page on our site (via the sub-ID parameter at the end of each affiliate link).
This disclosure complies with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) endorsement guides and equivalent UK Consumer Protection regulations. As an Hotels.com partner via CJ, we're contractually required to disclose this relationship clearly — which we do here, in the page footer of every page, and in an affiliate-bar component on category pages.
This disclosure was last updated on 7 May 2026. We review and update it at least annually.
