How we check every hotel

What we check

For every hotel we read its own website and answer the questions couples planning a minimoon ask most:

• Hot tub. Is there one, and is it private (in or beside your room), private but bookable, or shared in the spa?
• The room to book. If only some rooms have the feature you want, we name them.
• Spa. Is there one on site, and are there adults-only times?
• Adults only. Is the whole hotel adults only, or just certain rooms or the spa?
• Dogs. Are dogs allowed, and in which rooms?
• Minimoon or romantic offer. Does the hotel publish one? We link to it so you can see what is included today.

If the hotel's website does not answer a question, we say "not confirmed" rather than guess. Every listing shows the pages we read and the date we read them. The most recent check was on 2 November 2026.

What we leave out

We do not copy star ratings or review scores from booking sites, and we do not show prices, because both change daily. Use the booking button or the hotel's own site for today's price.

Drive times

Drive times are approximate. We place each hotel on the map using OpenStreetMap data, then calculate the driving time from the centre of each city with the open-source OSRM routing engine. The times assume no traffic and no stops, so allow extra, especially on a Friday or a bank holiday. City hubs list hotels within about 4 hours.

Keeping it current

We plan to re-check every listing at least every six months, and sooner when a hotel tells us something has changed. If you spot something out of date, email hello@minimoonguide.com.

Photos

We do not use stock photos or AI-generated images that pretend to show a real hotel. Where we have no photo with the hotel's permission, we show none.

How the site is paid for

Some links to booking sites may earn us a small commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. Hotels cannot pay to be listed, and commissions never change which hotels we include, what we say about them or the order they appear in.
