CloseHotel editorial policy

CloseHotel publishes practical accommodation-planning information for visa applicants. Our guides are written and reviewed by the CloseHotel Editorial Team; we do not invent individual experts, professional qualifications or endorsements.

How information is reviewed

We check material requirements against primary sources such as immigration authorities, governments and European Union institutions. We record a real review date only when the article and its cited sources have been checked.

Product clarity

A document created with CloseHotel is a provisional planning itinerary. It is not issued by a hotel, does not reserve a room, does not confirm availability and does not guarantee a visa decision. Readers should follow the checklist supplied by the authority processing their application.

Corrections and updates

Visa document requirements can change and may differ by country, consulate and applicant. When a material error or outdated statement is found, we correct the guide and update its review date after checking the relevant official source.

Commercial independence

CloseHotel guides may link to CloseHotel tools and to the related CloseFlight service. These links do not imply endorsement by an embassy, government, hotel, airline or visa centre.
