Terms and Conditions
We want to set realistic expectations for our affiliate partners and are entirely transparent on the restrictions in place.
Some affiliates gain traffic using pay-per-click advertising through search engines. These affiliates are welcome on the Village Hotels programme, providing they adhere to the Terms and Conditions set out below. Village Hotels also runs PPC campaigns and consequently we've set up guidelines to ensure that we're not bidding against the same keywords. As such, the following terms apply:
1. Generic keywords: Village Hotels affiliates are welcome to bid on generic keywords.
2. Using the Village Hotels brand in PPC ads: You may not refer to Village Hotels in the title or body of your advertising.
3. Direct linking: Direct linking to https://www.village-hotels.co.uk/ is strictly forbidden, as is the use of URL redirection to the Village Hotels site.
4. Brand bidding: Brand bidding is prohibited. This includes misspellings and variations of Village Hotels
5. Bidding on specific hotels. Bidding on specific hotel names (and variations) is also forbidden.
6. Transaction Queries. All TQs raised by affiliates must have accompanying hotel location, stay date and booking reference attached as standard in order to be processed. Any TQ submitted without this data will not be rewarded any commission. TQs must be raised within a week after the stay date.
Please note that these guidelines are published to ensure that there is complete clarity as to the activity permitted on the Village Hotels programme. We are always on hand to answer any questions, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if anything is unclear.
We gladly accept all affiliate promotional types onto the programme.
Please also be aware that the Village Hotels policy is to withhold commission if any affiliate contravenes these rules. Any partner that repeatedly breaks the rules will be removed from the programme.
Can you please also ensure that all mentions of the brand now refers to Village Hotels and not Village, Village Hotel Club, Village Urban Resorts or Village The Hotel Club.
