Affiliate Disclosure

This website is owned and operated by Joshua Israel Ventures LLC.

Noravelle Stays publishes editorial guidance for boutique, design-forward, and luxury-leaning US stays — not a cheap-hotels marketplace. Soft Compare rates CTAs may earn commissions when partner links are live; we do not invent live affiliate URLs or process checkout.

How we may earn money

Some links and CTAs on this site may be affiliate relationships. If you click through and complete a booking or purchase on a partner site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We may also use display advertising or similar programs in the future.

Partners may include online travel agencies (OTAs), hotel booking networks, flight metasearch/affiliate networks (Travelpayouts / Kayak-class), and related programs when those links go live. Partner lists can change. CTAs are labeled Compare rates (or similar) — we do not require live affiliate URLs on every page at launch.

Flight affiliate partnerships

We may participate in flight affiliate or metasearch partner programs (for example, Travelpayouts / Aviasales-class networks, Kayak affiliate, or similar). When those links are live, CTAs labeled Compare flights (or similar) may earn us a commission if you complete a booking on the partner site — typically at no extra cost to you versus using that partner without our link.

Flight affiliate economics are often thinner than hotel affiliates. Some OTA creator programs pay little or nothing on flights (for example, Expedia Creator is commonly reported to pay $0 on flight bookings). We prefer flight-capable networks rather than relying on hotel-only programs for air CTAs.

Placeholder affiliate URLs are configured in /js/affiliates.js (window.NORAVELLE_AFFILIATES.flights) so live deep links can be swapped without rewriting every page.

What this site is not

Affiliate referral does not make us the merchant of record. We do not collect lodging payments, issue confirmations, or act as the lodging seller. Bookings and contracts are between you and the third-party partner or hotel.

Editorial independence

Commissions do not determine our neighborhood guidance or destination recommendations. We may discuss areas or trip types critically. Affiliate relationships do not mean a partner endorses us.

FTC note

This disclosure is provided in line with applicable US guidance on endorsements and affiliate marketing (including FTC guidelines). We aim to be transparent whenever compensation may be involved.
