For London hotels: what your hotel gets, and what I ask for

By Emanuel Luís Updated 12 November 2026

Hotéis em Londres is a new website in European Portuguese, for travellers from Portugal choosing where to stay in London. I am Emanuel Luís and I write it. A hotel gets a score only after I have slept there, and I have not stayed in any yet, so I am now arranging the first stays.

The site is new, so there are no visitor or audience figures to give you yet. What I can show you is the site itself, in Portuguese:

What your hotel gets

  • A full review page in European Portuguese, with my own photographs of the hotel.
  • A scored listing. Once reviewed, your hotel’s card on the list carries its score and a link to the review.
  • The link, sent to you when the review is published.
  • A say in your listing, with or without a stay. Tell me if a fact on your hotel’s card is wrong or missing, or ask for a different photograph from your Booking.com listing, at any time.

What I ask for

A stay in a standard room, on dates that suit the hotel. Breakfast as well, if you serve it, so that I can assess it: it is one of the six points I score. Please do not upgrade the room, because readers will book the standard one.

The stay can be hosted by the hotel, at a reduced rate, or paid for by me. Any of the three is fine and the review is written the same way, so tell me which suits you.

How it works

  1. We agree the dates, the number of nights and guests, and who pays, in writing, by email.
  2. I stay as any guest would and take my own photographs.
  3. I write the review and publish it.

The same for every hotel

Three things stay the same whoever pays for the stay. They are what makes the review worth having.

  • Who paid is stated at the top of the reviewA hosted stay is headed “PUB · Estadia oferecida pelo hotel” (stay hosted by the hotel); a reduced rate, “PUB · Estadia com tarifa reduzida” (stay at a reduced rate). A stay I paid for says so too.PUB is short for publicidade (advertising), the usual Portuguese label for content with a commercial tie, which is why you see it at the top of this page.
  • Every hotel is scored on the same six pointsLocation, room, cleanliness, breakfast, service and value for money. The scale is printed next to each score.
  • The review is not sent for approvalIt is my account of the stay. Facts are another matter: if one is wrong, I correct it on request and date the correction.

Before a stay: how a hotel appears today

Facts only: the hotel’s own photograph, who it suits, the nearest station, one thing to know before booking and a fact sheet with its sources. No score, no verdict. This is the card for The Pilgrm, in Paddington, as it appears on the list today.

The line above the name reads “mid-range · not yet visited”: the price level is relative to the other hotels on the list, and the site prints no prices or guest ratings.

The photograph is the hotel’s own, from its Booking.com listing.

No review has been published yet.

How a review is scored (in Portuguese)

How the site makes money

Through affiliate links to Booking.com; the small line above the card says so in Portuguese. When a reader books after tapping the red button, “Consultar disponibilidade” (check availability), I earn a commission and the reader pays the same. No hotel pays to be listed, and I never ask a hotel for a link or a mention in return for a review.

Each fact sheet also links to the hotel’s own website, as the source of its facts. After a hosted or reduced-rate stay, those links are marked as sponsored for search engines.

Write to me

To arrange a stay, correct a fact or ask a question, in English or in Portuguese. If you would rather I did not write to your hotel again, tell me and I will not.

Em português. Esta página está em inglês porque se dirige a quem gere um hotel em Londres. Explica o que o hotel recebe, o que peço para avaliar um hotel e o que é igual para todos: quem pagou a estadia fica escrito no início da avaliação, e a nota não depende disso.
