About
An independent eye on responsible travel.
We started Positive Escapes because we love to travel and wanted a list we'd trust ourselves. Somewhere the research is done, the claims are checked, and every recommendation means something. We only feature places that are both beautiful and responsible.

How we select
We review each stay through nine criteria: wildlife, community, energy, water, food, waste, transport, materials, and transparency. They map to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We focus on what's publicly documented, and when something doesn't add up, we don't include it.
Our approach- Wildlife
- Community
- Energy
- Water

- Waste
- Transport
- Materials & Construction
- Transparency
How we are funded.
Positive Escapes is free to use. Some booking links are affiliate links: when you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is what funds the site. Properties never pay to be listed, and commissions have no influence on the selection or on what we write.
Run a hotel?
Our selection is small on purpose. If your property has a real commitment, we would like to hear about it.
