How we check our information
Island information goes out of date fast. Here is exactly what our labels mean, how often we re-check, and what happens when you report a mistake.
What the labels on our pages mean
- Green “Checked” + date
A person on our team confirmed this information against an official source or the operator on that date, and the next check is not yet due.
- Amber “Check before you go” + last check date
Someone checked it, but the re-check is now overdue or a reader reported a possible change. It is probably still right — please confirm before you rely on it.
- “Researched, not yet checked on site”
We compiled this from published official and local sources, but no one from our team has confirmed it individually yet. Treat details such as hours and prices as a starting point.
How often we re-check
Every fact type has its own re-check rhythm: event dates about every 4 weeks, opening hours and prices every 3 months, contact details every 6 months, and locations and general descriptions at least every 12 months. When a check is due, the page shows it.
“Visited by our team”
We only say a place was visited by our team when a dated on-site visit is logged for it. Desk research and phone or email confirmations are labelled as checks, not visits.
Sources
Every place page lists the official sources we link (operator, park or authority websites) and when the page was last checked. Other references and our commissioned research are shown as a count, because they are a starting point, not proof.
Corrections
Spotted something wrong or out of date? Use “Report outdated info” on the page or the suggestion form. A person reviews every report, fixes the page when the report holds up against a source, and updates the check date.
Editorial rules for live updates
Updates and notices (ferry changes, closures, weather warnings) need a named source, are confirmed by a person before they are published, and carry a correction note when they change. Sponsored content and affiliate links are always labelled and never appear in safety, transport or weather warnings.
Does money change what we write?
No. Requests are free for travellers. Local providers pay us a commission after a completed service, and some businesses buy clearly labelled partner listings. None of that changes our safety notes, check dates or corrections.
