| We verify | We report but can’t audit | We never claim |
|---|---|---|
| Regulations and statutes, read at source and linked | Company specifications and pricing, attributed to the firm | That a named business is safe or well run |
| Whether a licence exists, and which register holds it | Trade association research, with method noted | That a service will suit you personally |
| Government statistics and official filings, with dates | Independent lab measurements, credited to the tester | Anything needing a qualification we don’t hold |

Editorial independence
BestOfLuxury.com sells nothing, carries no advertising or affiliate links, and holds no commercial relationship with any business we cover. We accept no payment, commission, hospitality or complimentary access, and no company reviews our work before publication.
Every guide carries a scheduled review date and is re-checked against its primary sources. Where we get something wrong, we correct it and note the change rather than editing quietly.
Our guides are informational and are not medical, legal or financial advice. Regulations, prices and specifications change; verify anything decision-critical against the linked source before relying on it.
