References to “TopHotelsList.com,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Instant Media Access.

By accessing or using TopHotelsList.com, you acknowledge the matters described in this Disclaimer.

1. General Information Only

Content published on TopHotelsList.com is provided for general informational, editorial, comparison, and travel-inspiration purposes.

Our content may include:

• hotel rankings;
• hotel descriptions;
• destination guides;
• accommodation comparisons;
• travel suggestions;
• editorial opinions;
• sponsored features;
• affiliate links;
• advertisements;
• links to third-party websites;
• embedded videos and other media.

The information is not personalized advice and should not be treated as a substitute for independent research or advice from a suitably qualified professional.

You remain responsible for evaluating information and deciding whether a hotel, destination, provider, service, or travel arrangement is suitable for you.

2. No Professional Advice

TopHotelsList.com does not provide:

• legal advice;
• financial advice;
• medical advice;
• immigration advice;
• visa advice;
• insurance advice;
• security advice;
• tax advice;
• personalized travel advice.

Nothing published on the website creates a professional adviser-client relationship between you and Instant Media Access.

You should consult an appropriate professional or official authority where advice is needed for your specific circumstances.

3. No Hotel or Booking Services

TopHotelsList.com is not:

• a hotel;
• an accommodation provider;
• a hotel chain;
• a booking platform;
• a travel agency;
• a tour operator;
• a package-travel organiser;
• a reservation service;
• a payment processor;
• an insurer.

You cannot directly book, pay for, cancel, amend, or obtain a refund for accommodation through TopHotelsList.com.

When you follow a link to an external provider, any booking, payment, purchase, cancellation, refund, or other transaction is entered into directly between you and that provider.

TopHotelsList.com is not a party to that transaction.

4. No Responsibility for Reservations

We cannot access, manage, modify, confirm, or cancel reservations made through third-party providers.

We are not responsible for:

• booking confirmations;
• payment processing;
• payment-card charges;
• room allocation;
• upgrades;
• reservation changes;
• cancellations;
• refunds;
• deposits;
• no-show charges;
• overbookings;
• loyalty benefits;
• customer-service decisions;
• disputes between visitors and third-party providers.

Questions concerning a reservation must be directed to the hotel, booking provider, payment provider, or other company through which the reservation was made.

5. Accuracy and Completeness

We aim to publish useful and reasonably accurate information. However, we do not warrant or guarantee that all information will be:

• complete;
• accurate;
• current;
• error-free;
• suitable for every visitor;
• available at all times;
• applicable to every circumstance.

Errors, omissions, outdated details, technical problems, or incorrect third-party information may occur.

Information may also change after an article is published.

You should independently verify any information that is important to a booking, purchase, or travel decision.

6. Hotel Information May Change

Hotels and accommodation providers may change their:

• names;
• ownership;
• management;
• brand affiliations;
• room categories;
• facilities;
• amenities;
• restaurants and bars;
• swimming pools;
• spa services;
• parking arrangements;
• pet policies;
• accessibility features;
• check-in procedures;
• cancellation conditions;
• renovation schedules;
• opening or closing dates.

A facility mentioned in an article may be unavailable, seasonal, temporarily closed, renovated, or subject to additional fees.

Always verify essential features directly with the hotel or booking provider before making a reservation.

7. Prices and Availability

Hotel prices and availability can change at any time.

Any price, rate, discount, promotion, room category, or availability information mentioned on TopHotelsList.com is illustrative unless expressly stated otherwise.

Prices may vary according to:

• travel dates;
• room category;
• occupancy;
• demand;
• availability;
• cancellation conditions;
• taxes and fees;
• currency;
• location;
• device;
• account status;
• loyalty membership;
• promotional conditions.

TopHotelsList.com does not guarantee:

• the availability of a hotel or room;
• the duration of an offer;
• a particular price;
• that every tax or fee is included;
• that a linked provider offers the lowest available rate.

You should review the final price and all booking conditions directly with the relevant provider.

8. Rankings and Editorial Opinions

Hotel rankings and recommendations represent editorial opinions based on the information and methodology available when the content was prepared or updated.

Terms such as:

• “best”;
• “top”;
• “recommended”;
• “best overall”;
• “best value”;
• “best for families”;
• “best for couples”;
• “best location”;

are subjective editorial assessments rather than objective guarantees.

Different travelers may reasonably prefer different hotels.

A hotel’s inclusion or position does not guarantee that it will meet your preferences, expectations, accessibility needs, budget, or other requirements.

9. No Guarantee of First-Hand Experience

Unless expressly stated in an article, you should not assume that a representative of TopHotelsList.com has personally:

• visited the destination;
• stayed at the hotel;
• inspected the rooms;
• tested the facilities;
• spoken with hotel staff;
• independently verified every published detail.

Content may be based on research using publicly available information, official property materials, traveler-review patterns, maps, videos, tourism information, and other sources.

10. Use of Artificial Intelligence

TopHotelsList.com may use artificial intelligence as a tool in the research, drafting, editing, organization, formatting, or production of content.

AI-assisted systems can produce inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or misleading information.

Artificial intelligence does not personally visit hotels, inspect rooms, test services, or independently confirm physical conditions.

Instant Media Access retains editorial responsibility for content published on TopHotelsList.com, but the use of editorial review does not guarantee that every error will be detected.

Important information should always be verified independently.

11. Images and Visual Material

Photographs, videos, illustrations, maps, and other visual materials may not represent the exact room, view, facility, condition, or experience you will receive.

Visual material may:

• show a particular room category;
• have been professionally staged;
• have been edited;
• predate renovations;
• show seasonal facilities;
• have been supplied by a hotel or third party;
• be illustrative rather than documentary;
• have been created or modified using artificial intelligence.

You should not rely on an image alone when making a booking decision.

12. Guest Reviews and Third-Party Ratings

TopHotelsList.com may refer to guest-review patterns, public ratings, or opinions published on third-party platforms.

We do not necessarily verify:

• the identity of each reviewer;
• whether every reviewer completed a stay;
• the accuracy of every review;
• whether a review was incentivized;
• whether fraudulent reviews were detected or removed;
• whether a displayed score remains current.

Guest opinions are subjective, and your experience may differ.

13. Affiliate Links

Some links on TopHotelsList.com may be affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link or complete a qualifying transaction through a third-party provider, we may receive a commission or other compensation.

Affiliate commissions do not determine the ranking of hotels in our independent editorial lists.

Commercial relationships may affect which outbound links or booking providers are available on the website. TopHotelsList.com should not be treated as a complete comparison of every provider, price, hotel, or booking option.

Further information is available in our Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure.

14. Advertising and Sponsored Content

TopHotelsList.com may display:

• advertisements;
• sponsored articles;
• paid hotel features;
• spotlight articles;
• exclusive commercial features;
• promoted placements;
• other paid content.

Commercial content will be identified where required.

A paid inclusion or sponsored feature does not entitle a hotel to a higher position in an independent editorial ranking.

Advertisements may be supplied automatically by third-party advertising services. We may not select, review, or approve every individual advertisement before it appears.

The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean that TopHotelsList.com endorses the advertiser or its claims.

15. External Links

TopHotelsList.com contains links to websites operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for a third party’s:

• content;
• availability;
• security;
• accessibility;
• prices;
• advertisements;
• booking systems;
• representations;
• privacy practices;
• cookie practices;
• customer service;
• products;
• services;
• legal compliance.

External websites are governed by their own terms and policies.

You access and use third-party websites at your own discretion and risk.

16. Embedded Content

TopHotelsList.com may display videos, maps, social-media content, travel tools, or other material through official third-party embedding and linking functions.

The underlying content remains hosted or controlled by the relevant third party.

We do not guarantee that embedded content will remain:

• available;
• accurate;
• appropriate;
• accessible;
• free from advertisements;
• unchanged;
• permitted in every location.

A third-party provider may remove, restrict, alter, or disable content without notice.

17. Travel Requirements

You are responsible for determining and complying with all requirements relevant to your journey.

These may include:

• passport requirements;
• visas;
• electronic travel authorizations;
• immigration rules;
• customs requirements;
• vaccination requirements;
• health documentation;
• insurance requirements;
• local laws;
• entry and transit restrictions.

Requirements can change rapidly and may depend on nationality, residence, transit route, passport type, travel history, and personal circumstances.

Always consult official government, embassy, immigration, border, and health sources before traveling.

18. Health and Safety

Travel involves inherent risks.

TopHotelsList.com does not guarantee that any hotel, destination, activity, neighborhood, or transportation option is safe or suitable.

We are not responsible for:

• illness;
• allergic reactions;
• accidents;
• crime;
• natural disasters;
• extreme weather;
• political unrest;
• public-health events;
• unsafe conditions;
• inadequate medical facilities;
• personal injury caused by third parties;
• failure to follow official advice.

You are responsible for assessing relevant risks and obtaining appropriate professional advice, insurance, and official information.

19. Accessibility, Dietary, and Personal Requirements

We may publish information about accessibility, dietary options, family facilities, pet policies, or other special requirements.

We do not independently certify that a hotel or service can accommodate a particular need.

Before booking, contact the provider directly if you require:

• step-free access;
• an adapted room;
• specific bathroom features;
• allergy-safe food preparation;

• border restrictions;
• government action;
• hotel closure;
• provider insolvency;
• circumstances outside our reasonable control.

You should consider appropriate travel insurance and review its exclusions and limits.

21. Website Availability

We aim to keep TopHotelsList.com available and functioning, but uninterrupted access is not guaranteed.

The website may become unavailable because of:

• maintenance;
• updates;
• hosting problems;
• security incidents;
• malicious activity;
• network failures;
• technical errors;
• third-party service failures;
• circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may change, suspend, reorganize, or remove any part of the website without prior notice.

22. Website Security

We use reasonable measures intended to protect the website, but we do not guarantee that it will always be free from:

• viruses;
• malicious code;
• security vulnerabilities;
• unauthorized access;
• data corruption;
• harmful downloads;
• technical defects.

You are responsible for maintaining suitable security measures on your own device, including current software, backups, and malware protection.

23. No Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TopHotelsList.com and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We disclaim all express and implied warranties to the extent legally permitted, including warranties relating to:

• accuracy;
• completeness;
• merchantability;
• satisfactory quality;
• fitness for a particular purpose;
• non-infringement;
• availability;
• reliability;
• compatibility;
• security.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes a warranty or legal protection that cannot lawfully be excluded.

24. Exclusion of Certain Losses

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Instant Media Access will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive loss arising out of or connected with TopHotelsList.com.

This includes, without limitation:

• lost profits;
• lost revenue;
• lost savings;
• lost opportunity;
• loss of goodwill;
• loss of business;
• loss of data;
• travel inconvenience;
• additional accommodation costs;
• transportation costs;
• cancellation costs;
• missed reservations;
• loss caused by reliance on third-party information.

This exclusion applies whether the alleged liability arises in contract, tort, negligence, misrepresentation, restitution, statute, or otherwise, to the extent permitted by law.

25. Maximum Aggregate Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Instant Media Access arising out of or connected with:

• TopHotelsList.com;
• its content;
• your access to or use of the website;
• your inability to access or use the website;
• reliance on information published on the website;
• links, advertisements, or embedded content;
• any related claim;

will not exceed the lesser of:

1. USD 500, or
2. SEK 5,000.

Where currency conversion is necessary to determine which amount is lower, the amounts will be compared using the applicable European Central Bank reference exchange rates for the date on which the relevant claim first arose.

This is a cumulative and aggregate maximum. It is not a separate limit for each:

• claim;
• event;
• page;
• article;
• hotel;
• transaction;
• legal theory;
• affected person acting jointly in relation to the same loss.

Related claims arising from the same or substantially connected facts will be treated as a single claim for the purpose of this limitation.

The cap applies only to liability for which Instant Media Access is legally responsible and only to the extent that limiting such liability is permitted by law.

26. Exceptions to the Liability Limit

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation would be unlawful.

The exclusions and liability cap above do not apply to the extent that liability arises from:

• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by Instant Media Access;
• wilful misconduct;
• gross negligence where liability cannot lawfully be limited;
• death or personal injury directly caused by negligence where liability cannot lawfully be limited;
• violation of mandatory data-protection obligations where liability cannot lawfully be limited;
• another liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

The cap also does not remove any mandatory consumer right that cannot legally be waived or restricted.

Where a complete exclusion is not permitted but a limitation is permitted, liability will be limited to the greatest extent allowed by applicable law.

27. Third-Party Liability

The liability cap in this Disclaimer concerns only the liability of Instant Media Access.

It does not determine or limit any liability that a hotel, booking provider, advertiser, payment provider, transport provider, insurer, or other third party may have under its own terms or applicable law.

Claims relating to a hotel stay, booking, payment, cancellation, refund, or third-party service should generally be directed to the provider responsible for that service.

28. Basis of the Limitations

TopHotelsList.com is generally made available to visitors without charging an access fee.

The exclusions and limitations in this Disclaimer reflect:

• the informational nature of the website;
• the absence of a direct hotel-booking service;
• the fact that we do not control third-party providers;
• the rapidly changing nature of travel information;
• the availability of primary information directly from hotels, providers, and official authorities.

You acknowledge that important decisions should not be based solely on information from TopHotelsList.com.

29. Mandatory Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to deprive a consumer of mandatory protections available under applicable law.

If a provision of this Disclaimer conflicts with a mandatory legal right, the mandatory right will prevail, and the affected provision will apply only to the extent legally enforceable.

30. Governing Law

This Disclaimer and your use of TopHotelsList.com are governed by Swedish law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory protections that apply under the laws of the country in which you habitually reside.

31. Severability

If any provision of this Disclaimer is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary.

If it cannot be validly interpreted or limited, it will be separated from the remaining provisions.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

32. Related Policies

• Terms of Use
• Privacy Policy
• Cookie Policy
• Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
