About: who counts these prices and why you can trust them
dalat.place is a guide to Da Lat written from the inside: prices with the date they were checked, the paperwork and the roads explained, weather across 35 years and places with an honest verdict. We live in the city, pay the same bills and publish only what we checked ourselves — and readers correct the figures and decide what the site gets next.
How this differs from other Da Lat guides
A typical review says Da Lat is cheap and never names a figure you could verify. We name the figure, put the date we checked it next to it and say where it came from: our own receipt, a rental contract, a seller's price list or a phone call. Where there was no check, the figure carries the label approximate, and you see that at once.
What the labels on prices mean
| Label | What is behind it |
|---|---|
| checked | We saw the figure first-hand or took it from the seller. The check date stands next to it — without a date there is no label. |
| approximate | A range across several places, or a price we have not checked in person yet. A rough guide, not a promise. |
| ask | The price changes faster than we can check it: ask on the spot before you pay. |
What we do not do
- We take no money for a place in a list or for a verdict. A venue gets here because we went there, not because it paid.
- We do not rewrite other guides. No first-hand experience or primary source means no article.
- We do not take photos from maps and review sites. Pictures are ours or official, with a link.
- We do not invent what is missing. An unknown field stays empty rather than filled with a guess.
The site is made together with its readers
One person cannot walk the whole city and re-check everything that changes in it. So anyone can shape the site, and there are four doors for that:
- Send your own price — it joins the shared median next to our check, so you see whether the figures agree.
- Correct an article in the comments: reader notes sit right under the text instead of hiding in a mailbox.
- Add a place or your own service — the editors will complete the card, check the price and publish it.
- Suggest what the site is missing and vote for other people's ideas: an idea goes into work once a hundred people back it.
What to do if a figure is out of date
Prices in Da Lat move fast, and some go stale before we get to re-check them. There are three ways to fix that:
- Send your own figure through the what you paid form — it goes into the shared median.
- Leave a note under the article: reader corrections sit next to the text instead of hiding in a mailbox.
- Suggest a place we are missing — the editors will fill in the card and publish it.
You can take our data
Every price is published openly: the data page gives the full list in JSON and CSV together with check dates, and reader medians come as a separate file. Quote with the date: a Da Lat price without a date is worthless.
