RoamNivo is a hotel-selection service for Thailand. Every shortlist on the site is built the same way: we start from the travel decision, check the facts against suitable sources and explain the trade-offs, so you can choose the stay that fits your trip.
Who prepares the guides
Guides are researched, written and updated by the RoamNivo editorial team and are signed by the team rather than by individual writers. We do not present desk research as personal experience: unless a page says otherwise, we have not stayed in or tested the hotels it describes.
1. We start with the decision, not with a hotel list
Each page answers one practical question, for example which area of Krabi suits a family or which hotels are convenient for an early train. We settle the area and the type of traveller first, and only then look for properties that fit.
2. What we compare
- Location: real distance and access to the beach, old town, station, pier or airport the page is about.
- Transport: whether you can walk, need a taxi or scooter, or depend on a boat or a transfer.
- Traveller fit: couples, families, solo travellers, business trips and longer stays.
- Rooms and facilities: room types and family configurations, pools, food on site and accessibility where it is documented.
- Trade-offs: noise, isolation, steps, seasonal access and what a hotel is not good for.
Each hotel gets a short “best for” and “trade-off” so you can rule it in or out quickly.
3. Sources we check
For a hotel’s identity, address and facilities we start with its official website and then major booking platforms. For airports, transport, national parks, events and seasons we use official sources such as airport operators, transport and tourism authorities and meteorological services. Guest reviews and travel publications add context, but they do not replace these checks. Pages list their main sources.
4. What we do not do
- We do not order or select hotels by commission.
- We do not publish prices as fixed facts: rates and availability change daily and are confirmed on the booking site.
- We do not invent stays, guest stories or ratings.
5. How RoamNivo earns money
Links to booking sites such as Agoda, Booking.com and Trip.com may be affiliate links: if you book through one, RoamNivo may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Links to official hotel websites and official sources are there so you can check details. The Affiliate Disclosure explains this in full.
6. Updates and corrections
Every guide shows the date it was last updated. We revise, merge or remove pages when a hotel closes, rebrands or changes in a way that affects the recommendation. If you spot an error, tell us through the Contact page; the Corrections Policy explains how reports are handled.
