How affiliate links work

A booking site such as Booking.com runs an affiliate programme. Once a website is accepted, links from that website carry a reference number. If you follow one of those links and complete a booking, the booking site pays the website a commission out of its own revenue. You pay the price the booking site shows you. Using the link does not change it.

Booking.com links on the guide run through CJ Affiliate, the network that tracks the click and pays the commission.

How they are marked

Affiliate links appear as booking buttons, for example "Check availability on Booking.com", and each one has a note beside it saying it is an affiliate link. The buttons pass through a lofotenhandbook.com address before sending you on to the booking site, so the guide can count how often each button is used. That count is not linked to you. The privacy policy explains what is recorded.

What commission does not decide

• A place to stay is listed whether or not it has an affiliate link.
• Descriptions, "who it's for" notes and the places listed for couples, families and other travellers are based on sourced facts, not on commission.
• Nobody pays to appear on the guide, and there is no sponsored content. If that ever changes, the content will be clearly labelled as paid.

Lofoten Handbook is independent. It is not owned by, or in partnership with, Booking.com, Visit Lofoten or any property it describes, beyond taking part in the affiliate programmes listed on this page.
