Website terms of use

Meridian Guides publishes Malacca Homestay Guide as an independent directory of homestay businesses in Malacca. Scores come from public review data, computed under the published rubric on the how we rank page, and the same rubric applies to every business. These terms govern your use of the site.

Information, not endorsement

Listings and scores are information, not an endorsement or a recommendation. Business details can change faster than any directory updates, so confirm the specifics (availability, pricing, credentials, insurance) directly with a business before engaging it. We work to keep the data accurate but do not guarantee it is complete, current, or error-free.

Referral disclosure

We may pass your enquiry to a listed business or a partner, and we may be paid a referral fee when that happens. Referral fees have no effect on scores or rankings, which come from the published rubric applied to public review data and cannot be bought or adjusted.

Listing corrections and removals

Corrections, score disputes, and removal requests for listed businesses are handled through the listing policy, which sets out what qualifies and how to submit a request.

What you may not do

You may browse the site and contact listed businesses through it for genuine enquiries. You may not scrape or republish the compiled directory content, submit false or misleading enquiries through the forms, interfere with the site’s operation, or use the site for any unlawful purpose.

Ownership of content

Editorial content, scores, and the compiled directory are the property of Meridian Guides. We do not claim ownership of the public reviews the analysis is derived from (those remain with their authors), nor of any business name or trademark that appears in a listing.

Our responsibility

The site is provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, Meridian Guides is not liable for losses arising from your use of the site, from reliance on the information in it, or from your dealings with any business you find through it. Your agreement with a business you engage is between you and that business. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Which law applies

The laws of Malaysia govern these terms. Disputes arising from them are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.

Changes to these terms

The published version of this page, with its date, is the current version of these terms; we may revise it from time to time, and continued use of the site counts as acceptance. For questions, reach us at hello@meridianguides.my.
