While we pass all feedback and recommendations on to the writers before they set off to research a region, the decision about what to include in our products is left entirely up to them.
This editorial independence has been an important part of our publishing model since 1973, and we believe it sets us apart from other travel-focused publishers.
The omission of a business doesn't necessarily mean that the business isn't worthy; it might simply be that there are other similar options nearby, for example.
Don't let it discourage you from sending us your recommendations - our writers regularly discover great new attractions from traveler feedback, and they do enjoy hearing opinions other than their own!
