Last updated: August 6, 2026

Welcome to Michelle-Madrid.com. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Michelle Madrid website, articles, newsletters, photographs, recommendations, contact forms and other content or services made available through the website.

By accessing or using Michelle-Madrid.com, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.

About Michelle Madrid

Michelle Madrid is a travel and lifestyle journal featuring distinctive hotels, memorable destinations, elevated wellness and the people behind exceptional experiences around the world.

The website provides editorial, informational and inspirational content. It is not a travel-booking agency, medical provider, financial adviser or legal adviser unless a particular service is expressly identified otherwise.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use this website.

By using the website, you represent that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you use the website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these terms.

Editorial Content

Articles, reviews, interviews, hotel features, destination guides, wellness content and other materials published on Michelle-Madrid.com reflect the information available and the writer’s opinions at the time of publication.

We aim to provide accurate and useful information, but we do not guarantee that every statement is complete, current or free from error.

Hotels, restaurants, attractions, wellness providers and other businesses may change their:

  • Prices

  • Hours

  • Amenities

  • Policies

  • Ownership

  • Management

  • Services

  • Availability

  • Accessibility features

  • Reservation requirements

Readers should verify important information directly with the applicable business before making travel plans, reservations or purchases.

Reviews and Recommendations

Reviews and recommendations reflect honest opinions and experiences. Individual experiences may vary.

A positive feature or recommendation does not guarantee that another visitor will have the same experience. Michelle Madrid does not warrant the quality, availability, safety, suitability or performance of any hotel, restaurant, destination, product, service or experience mentioned on the website.

Editorial coverage is not a guarantee of endorsement, partnership or future coverage.

Hosted Stays, Gifts and Sponsored Content

Michelle Madrid may occasionally receive complimentary hotel stays, meals, products, services, event admission, travel assistance or other benefits in connection with editorial coverage.

The website may also publish sponsored content or participate in paid brand partnerships.

When a material relationship exists, Michelle Madrid will seek to disclose it clearly within or near the relevant content. Receiving a complimentary experience, product or payment does not guarantee positive coverage.

Sponsored articles, paid partnerships and advertisements may be labeled with language such as:

  • Sponsored

  • Paid partnership

  • Presented by

  • In partnership with

  • Hosted stay

  • Complimentary experience

  • Gifted product

All opinions expressed remain those of the writer unless expressly stated otherwise.

Affiliate Links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a reservation or purchase, Michelle Madrid may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not determine every hotel, product, destination or service selected for editorial coverage.

Where appropriate, affiliate relationships will be disclosed near the relevant links or content.

Prices, availability, cancellation policies and transaction terms are controlled by the third-party seller or travel provider, not Michelle Madrid.

No Travel Guarantee

Travel inherently involves uncertainty and risk. Conditions may be affected by weather, transportation disruptions, illness, political events, natural disasters, closures, labor disputes, crime, government restrictions and other circumstances outside our control.

Michelle Madrid does not guarantee:

  • The availability of flights, accommodations or reservations

  • Entry into any destination or venue

  • The safety of a destination

  • The accuracy of visa, passport or entry information

  • The performance of a hotel, airline, tour operator or other provider

  • Refunds, reimbursements or compensation from a third party

  • That a featured experience will remain unchanged

You are responsible for conducting your own research, reviewing official travel advisories and obtaining appropriate travel documentation and insurance.
