The Ledger

Every change to the list

Who joined, who left and why, and every time we went back to check. A place among the ten is earned, and it has to be kept.

Published
The first stays in a destination, on the day its list goes live.
Added
A stay that joins a destination already on the site, after the same evaluation as the rest.
Re-checked
Every quarter we read recent guest feedback, and once a year we reassess each stay against the criteria it was first judged on.
Retired
A stay that no longer meets the standard leaves the list, and we say why.
