Operate a hotel, resort, retreat or distinctive place to stay? The Brief Review considers hospitality properties for independent editorial review from a guest’s perspective.
We are especially interested in properties with a strong sense of place, thoughtful hospitality or an experience that travelers should know about.

Who Can Request a Hotel Review?
Hotel owners, general managers, marketing teams, tourism representatives and public relations agencies can submit a property. We welcome both independent properties and hotels associated with larger hospitality groups.
How a Hotel Review Collaboration Works
- Submit the property details, proposed dates and reason for the review.
- We consider the location, property and relevance to our readers.
- If suitable, we agree on timing and the practical arrangements for a stay.
- We experience the property and assess it from a guest’s point of view.
- The resulting article may cover rooms, location, service, amenities, food, value and the overall experience.
We generally prefer to stay at a property before publishing a review. Professional photography may supplement original images where helpful, but supplied images should be clearly identified and authorized for publication.

Editorial Independence
A hosted or complimentary stay does not guarantee publication or a positive recommendation. Our reviews are intended to remain useful to travelers and may discuss both strengths and areas that could be improved.
Commercial hospitality features may be considered where there is a natural fit. Any relevant relationship should be disclosed clearly.
