About World Luxury Review

World Luxury Review is an independent guide to the finest places to stay, fly and dine, written from first-hand experience.

I’m David De Clercq. Over the years I have visited every one of the world’s 197 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels along the way, from palace suites to remote island lodges. On my travel blog, World-Adventurer, I wrote close to 200 hotel reviews. World Luxury Review is where I focus on the very top end: the hotels, cabins, lounges and experiences that are worth planning a trip around.

How I review

  • First-hand only. Every review is based on a stay, flight or meal I experienced myself.
  • Honest scores. Each review ends with a score out of 10 and a clear verdict on who it suits.
  • Clear disclosure. When a stay or experience is hosted, the review says so.
