Terms for using this site

These terms apply to Malaysia Homestay Guide, an independent directory of homestay businesses in Kedah published by Meridian Guides. Every score on the site is computed from public review data using one published rubric (see how we score); no business pays to be listed or scored. Using the site means you accept these terms.

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.

Corrections, disputes, and removals

If your business is listed on this site and a detail is wrong, or you want to dispute a score or request removal, the process is set out in our listing policy.

What you may not do

Use the site to research businesses and send genuine enquiries. Scraping or republishing the compiled directory content, submitting false enquiries, interfering with the site’s operation, and any unlawful use are all prohibited.

Intellectual property

The compiled directory, editorial text, scores, and presentation are owned by Meridian Guides. The underlying reviews belong to their authors and remain on the platforms where they were published; we store derived analysis, not review text. Business names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Meridian Guides accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from use of the site, reliance on its information, or any engagement you enter into with a listed business. Any contract you form with a business is yours and theirs alone. Liability that the law does not allow to be excluded is not excluded.

Applicable law

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

Changes and contact

We may update these terms from time to time; the current version is always the one published on this page, with the date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions about them can go to hello@meridianguides.my.
