We asked each place the questions that decide your trip: is there halal meat, is alcohol served, is there somewhere to pray. Then, for every place that answered, we printed exactly who, and when.
Most travel guides tell you what a camp or hotel says about itself. Booking sites give you a green “halal-friendly” label and no way to find out who said so, when, or what it covers.
This guide asks the questions you would ask, writes the answer down in the property's own words, and prints who gave it and the month. Where a property did not answer, the entry says “Not established”, which is not the same as no.
An honest “no” stays in the guide. No property paid to appear, and no free stays, meals or transport were accepted.
This is one entry, as printed. Every property in the guide reads like this: a photograph the property allowed us to use, then what it told us.
