Doalu has no panel of editors scoring hotels. Our pages are about places — cities, towns, coasts, and neighbourhoods — and we choose and order them the same way across the whole site.
Ranking
Where places are ranked, they are ordered by global recognition: how widely each place is read about across Wikipedia's language editions. A place read about more, across all Wikipedia language editions combined, ranks above one read about less. The signal is computed from public Wikipedia and Wikidata usage data. It is applied identically to every place, and no one can pay to move up.
Where the facts come from
Place facts come from open sources: GeoNames for geography and the place hierarchy (CC-BY), Wikidata for basic facts (CC0), and Wikipedia for context (CC-BY-SA). We keep claims grounded in those sources and leave out what we cannot verify.
Area guidance
Which neighbourhood suits which trip is guidance we author ourselves on top of that data, with the trade-offs stated plainly — central but busy, quiet but a ride from the centre.
What we do not do
We do not hand-pick hotels, we do not inspect properties, and we do not collect or verify guest reviews. Booking happens on Booking.com, and our booking links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. A commission never changes a ranking, a description, or the order of anything on a page.
