Editorial Policy
Dumaguete Compass publishes practical guidance designed to help travelers make informed decisions.
How we choose topics
We prioritize questions that affect real travel decisions, including location, transportation, trip timing, accommodation fit, accessibility and common planning mistakes across Dumaguete, Negros Oriental and Siquijor.
Research and accuracy
We use available first-party information, operator information, reputable references and local context. Time-sensitive details such as ferry schedules, prices, opening hours and availability should always be confirmed directly before travel. We do not invent ratings, reviews, prices, schedules or availability.
Hotel recommendations
Hotel Match compares traveler preferences with fields in the Dumaguete Compass hotel database. Recommendations are informational and are not guarantees of suitability or availability. Agoda controls current room information, pricing and booking conditions.
Affiliate independence
Some accommodation links are affiliate links. A potential commission does not change the matching method or the amount a traveler pays through Dumaguete Compass. Our Affiliate Disclosure Editorial Policy explains this relationship.
Corrections and updates
We correct material errors when identified. A page’s update date should change only after a meaningful content review. Travelers and local organizations can report an error through the contact page.
