Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: 12th October 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Jamie and Kev Go Travelling, we believe in complete transparency with our audience. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn income through affiliate partnerships and how this affects the content we create.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you click on them and make a purchase or booking. These links help support our work whilst costing you nothing extra.

How It Works:

  1. You click on an affiliate link on our Website or in our content

  2. You're directed to the partner's website (e.g., a hotel booking platform)

  3. If you make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission

  4. You pay the same price – there is no additional cost to you

Our Affiliate Partnerships

We participate in affiliate programmes with various travel and booking platforms, including but not limited to:

Current Affiliate Partners:

  • Expedia – Hotel and travel bookings

  • Other travel booking platforms and services (as they are added)

We only partner with companies and services that we believe offer value to our audience. As our business grows, we may add additional affiliate partnerships that align with our travel content and your interests.

How We Use Affiliate Links

You may find affiliate links in:

  • Blog posts and articles – Within our written travel guides and hotel reviews

  • Video descriptions – In the description boxes of our YouTube videos

  • Social media posts – Occasionally in our Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and other social media content

  • Resource pages – On dedicated pages listing recommended hotels, attractions, or services

  • Newsletters – If we include booking recommendations in email communications

Affiliate links are clearly marked where possible, and we strive to make it obvious when a link is an affiliate link.

Our Editorial Independence

Honest Reviews, Always

We pay full price for our hotel stays and experiences. We do not accept free stays or complimentary services in exchange for positive reviews. This ensures our content remains authentic and unbiased.

Affiliate Links Don't Influence Our Opinions

The presence of affiliate links does not influence our reviews, recommendations, or opinions. We share our genuine experiences – both positive and negative – regardless of whether affiliate partnerships exist.

Our Promise:

  • We only recommend hotels, attractions, and services we have personally experienced

  • We provide honest assessments, including any drawbacks or limitations

  • We would never recommend something solely because it offers an affiliate commission

  • Our reviews reflect our authentic reactions and practical observations

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Creating high-quality travel content requires significant time, effort, and expense:

  • Travel Costs: Hotels, meals, attractions, petrol, and other travel expenses

  • Equipment: Cameras, editing software, and technical gear

  • Time Investment: Filming, editing, writing, and managing our platforms

  • Website Costs: Hosting, maintenance, and tools

Affiliate commissions help us: ✅ Continue creating free content for you
✅ Visit more destinations and review more hotels
✅ Improve our video and blog quality
✅ Maintain and grow our Website and social media presence

Your support through affiliate links allows us to keep doing what we love whilst keeping our content free and accessible to everyone.

Your Choices

You're Never Obligated to Use Our Links

Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You can:

  • Book directly with hotels or attractions

  • Search for deals independently

  • Use other booking platforms

  • Still enjoy all our content without clicking any affiliate links

We'll never pressure you to book through our links. Our goal is to provide helpful information that inspires your travels, regardless of how you choose to book.

No Additional Cost to You

When you use our affiliate links, you pay the exact same price as you would if you went directly to the website. Sometimes, you may even find exclusive deals or promotions through our affiliate partners.
