Eco methodology

How we evaluate and verify each property — from the application file to publication on the platform.

01
📋

Application file

The host submits a complete file: official certifications, supporting documents (solar panels, composting…), photos, description of practices. No self-declaration without proof is accepted.

02
🔍

Certification verification

Our team verifies each certification directly with the issuing bodies (EU Ecolabel, Clé Verte, etc.). Expired or falsified certifications result in immediate rejection.

03
📊

Eco score calculation

The score is calculated out of 100 points across 6 weighted dimensions. Each point is awarded based on documented evidence, never on promises. The detail is publicly visible on each listing.

04
🏡

Field audit (optional)

For properties requesting the 'ecobooking certified' badge, a field audit by an independent partner is conducted. This badge is awarded only to properties with a score > 80/100.

05

Publication & monitoring

Once approved, the property is published. The score is updated annually. In case of loss of certification or a traveller report, the score is revised and the property may be suspended.
