Affiliate disclosure
Last updated 2026-05-25
Safar earns affiliate commission when you click out to a booking partner and complete a stay. This page explains how that works, what it changes, and what it doesn't.
How we make money
Safar may earn a commission when you click an approved affiliate link and complete a purchase with a third-party travel partner. You pay the same price as if you went to the partner directly - the commission is shared with us from the partner margin. Direct hotel affiliate access for Booking.com, Agoda, and Expedia is not active unless shown as approved in the product.
FTC compliance
Every active affiliate link on the site is accompanied by an adjacent disclosure ("We earn a commission if you book through this link, at no extra cost to you.") visible without hovering or clicking. This follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission endorsement guidelines for affiliate content.
What this changes about our editorial
Nothing. We list properties on verification quality, not on commission rate. The trust score sort uses the same weights regardless of which partner carries the property. We will not raise a property's tier or hide an evidence concern because a partner pays better.
What we don't do
We do not take payment, process bookings, hold reservations, or act as a travel agent. The third-party partner is the merchant of record. We do not accept paid placement or sponsored property content.
