Not every page on this site was researched the same way, and we think it's worth being direct about that distinction rather than presenting everything with equal, undifferentiated confidence.
Two different standards, used deliberately
General guidance — how to think about choosing a base village, what a caldera view is actually like, how to plan a wine day — is written from careful reasoning about the island's well-established, slow-changing character. This kind of content doesn't need a fresh source check every time, because it isn't the kind of fact that goes stale week to week.
A second category — anything naming a real, specific business (see our hotel profiles, winery profiles, and restaurant profiles), or stating a rule, requirement or fact that can genuinely change (see our drone rules, entry requirements, and earthquake and seismic activity guides) — is checked against current, independent sources before publishing, not written from general impression.
What that means for you as a reader
Both categories aim to be accurate, but the second category is where "this might have changed since publication" matters most. We say so directly on those pages rather than presenting a snapshot as permanently settled — rules, prices, and even whether a specific business is still operating are all things worth reconfirming close to your travel dates regardless of what any single article, including ours, says.
Corrections
If you spot something out of date on either type of page, let us know — we treat corrections as a priority, not an inconvenience, and every article page has a direct link to report one.
