About Us: Who We Are
The Only Way Is Travel is built around a genuine love of travel, luxury hotels, premium flights, memorable dining and discovering places that are truly worth visiting.
With over 30 years of travel experience to destinations across the Far East and beyond, we have stayed in a wide range of hotels, flown in premium cabins, visited airport lounges, enjoyed destination restaurants and experienced both outstanding and disappointing trips.
Our reviews are written from personal experience. We do not believe in over-polished travel writing that only tells part of the story. Instead, we aim to share what the experience was really like, including what impressed us, what disappointed us, what offered good value and whether we would return.
This About Us section gives readers a better idea of the real experience behind our website and why we write our reviews in a clear, honest and practical way.
About Us: What We Do
At The Only Way Is Travel, we focus on detailed travel reviews, practical travel insight and selected travel offers.
Our website covers hotel reviews, airline trip reports, airport lounge reviews, food and drink reviews, travel blogs, destination guides and selected travel offers.
We look at the details that matter to real travellers, including location, comfort, service, food and drink, value for money, facilities, loyalty recognition and the overall experience.
This About Us page also explains how our reviews are designed to help readers make better choices before they book.
Hotel Reviews
We review hotels, resorts, airport hotels, boutique stays and luxury properties.
Our hotel reviews look at the full stay, including location, rooms, service, food and drink, facilities, loyalty recognition and value for money.
A hotel does not need to be the most expensive to impress us, but it does need to deliver what it promises. We consider whether the stay met expectations, whether the service felt right and whether the overall experience justified the price paid.
Airline Trip Reports
Our airline trip reports cover the complete journey, from check-in and airport lounges to boarding, seat comfort, food, drink, service and arrival.
We review economy, premium economy, business class and first class experiences, with a particular interest in whether the airline delivers the standard expected for the cabin, route and fare.
Airport Lounge Reviews
An airport lounge can set the tone for a trip.
Our lounge reviews look at comfort, seating, food, drink, atmosphere, facilities and whether the lounge is worth arriving early for.
Some lounges feel calm, premium and enjoyable. Others can feel overcrowded and disappointed. We share the reality, not just the promise.
Food and Drink Reviews
Food is one of the most enjoyable parts of travelling.
Our food and drink reviews cover restaurants, hotel dining, bars, brunches and special dining experiences.
We look at food quality, service, atmosphere, menu choice, drinks and value for money, helping readers decide where may be worth booking.
Travel Blogs and Destination Guides
Our travel blogs offer extra insight, destination ideas and practical tips based on our own experiences.
These may include city break ideas, luxury travel inspiration, hotel comparisons, airport tips, loyalty scheme experiences and holiday planning advice.
Travel Offers by Only Way To Travel
Alongside our reviews, we also feature selected Travel Offers by Only Way To Travel.
These offers are designed to inspire your next holiday, whether you are looking for a luxury beach escape, a city break, a family holiday, a cruise, a safari, a multi-centre itinerary or a special occasion trip.
Travel offers featured by Only Way To Travel are arranged through the travel agent Travelosophers, with eligible bookings ABTA protected for added peace of mind.
About Us: Why We Started The Only Way Is Travel
We started The Only Way Is Travel because we know how important honest travel information can be.
When you are spending money on a hotel, flight, restaurant or holiday, you want to know what the experience is really like. Photos can look perfect, descriptions can sound impressive, and reviews can sometimes feel too brief to be useful.
We wanted to create a website that gives readers more detail, more honesty and more useful insight.
This About Us page helps explain that mission. Our aim is to help answer the questions travellers often ask before booking.
Is the hotel worth the money?
Is the location right?
Are the rooms comfortable?
Is the service good?
Is the food enjoyable?
Is the airport lounge worth using?
Does the airline deliver what it promises?
Would we recommend it?
Would we return?
By sharing our own experiences, we hope to help readers book with more confidence.
About Us: Our Review Style
Our reviews are written in a friendly, easy-read style. We want our content to be useful, clear and honest.
We focus on the details that matter, including service, location, rooms, comfort, cleanliness, food and drink, facilities, loyalty recognition, atmosphere, value for money and the overall experience.
We are happy to praise great travel experiences, but we are also honest when something falls short.
Not every trip is perfect. Sometimes a hotel disappoints, a lounge feels overcrowded, a flight fails to meet expectations, or a restaurant does not justify the price. When this happens, we explain why.
Our reviews are not written to criticise unfairly. They are written to help readers make informed decisions.
About Us: Our Travel Review Ratings
We use travel review ratings to give readers a clear summary of our experience.
Our ratings are based on expectations as well as overall quality. A five-star hotel should deliver a five-star experience. A four-star hotel can still impress if it offers great service, good value and a comfortable stay.
We consider whether the experience exceeded expectations, met expectations, fell below expectations, offered good value, delivered what it promised and would be worth recommending.
This approach helps readers quickly understand how we felt about the experience overall.
About Us: What Makes Us Different
Our content is based on real experiences.
We write about places we have stayed, flights we have taken, lounges we have used and restaurants we have visited.
We share both the positives and negatives, giving readers a balanced view before they book.
We have a particular interest in luxury hotels, premium cabins, airport lounges and high-quality travel experiences, but we also believe value and expectations matter just as much as star ratings.
Our About Us message is simple: we want to give readers practical, honest and experience-led travel content.

Most importantly, we believe travellers deserve honest information before they book.
