Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using FootballStays, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.
Affiliate Disclosure
Important: FootballStays is an affiliate directory for football stadium hotels across the UK and Europe. We earn a commission when you book accommodation through links on our website. This commission comes at no extra cost to you and helps us maintain this free resource for football fans.
Affiliate Program Participation
Expedia Group Affiliate Program
FootballStays is a participant in the Expedia Group Affiliate Program, administered by Commission Junction LLC. We earn commission from qualifying bookings made through the following Expedia Group brands:
- Expedia.com
- Hotels.com
- Vrbo
- Travelocity
- Orbitz
Other Affiliate Programs
We also participate in affiliate programs with Booking.com and may add additional booking platform partners in the future.
Commission Structure
Commission rates vary by booking platform and are typically:
- Hotels.com: Up to 6% commission on qualifying bookings
- Expedia: Up to 4% commission on qualifying bookings
- Booking.com: Up to 4% commission on qualifying bookings
Important: These commissions are paid by the booking platform to us. They are NOT added to the price you pay. You pay the same price whether you book directly or through our affiliate links.
Our Editorial Independence
While we participate in affiliate programs, our hotel recommendations are based on objective criteria:
- Proximity to football stadiums (walking distance or easy public transport access)
- Guest reviews and ratings from verified travelers
- Match-day suitability (amenities like bars, breakfast, parking, 24hr reception)
- Value for money and competitive pricing
- Quality of transport links to stadiums
We do NOT receive payment to rank hotels higher, feature specific properties, or provide biased recommendations. If a hotel pays for "Featured Partner" status, this will be clearly labeled.
