The one way we earn
When a room request sent through this site becomes a confirmed stay at The Ville, the hotel or the booking partner that completes the reservation pays us a commission. That is the business. You do not pay us anything, we add no fee to the rate, and we never take card details.
What happens to a request
You send dates
The form goes to our desk.
We check
We ask the hotel's reservations team or a booking partner what is open and at what rate.
You decide
If you confirm, the hotel or the partner takes the booking and the payment. The commission, if any, is paid to us by them after the stay is confirmed.
If you do not confirm
Nobody pays anybody. The request simply closes.
What is not connected
- Advertising
- None. There are no ad networks on this site and no paid placements.
- Affiliate networks
- None connected at the moment. If that changes, this page will say so, with the date.
- Tracking
- No analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookies.
- Links to the hotel
- Buttons to the-ville.com.au go to the official site without tracking codes. We earn nothing if you book there directly.
- The casino
- We earn nothing from gambling and accept no money from gambling businesses.
Does money change what we write?
We are paid the same way whichever room you choose, so we have no reason to push the expensive ones; our verdict recommends a $285 room first. We are only paid if you stay, so a bad recommendation costs us. And we will not invent reviews or bend facts, because every fact on the site carries its source.
