By accessing and using the Capsule Index website (capsuleindex.com), you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, do not use the site.
Capsule Index is an editorial directory of capsule and pod hotels, operated from Sweden. The site publishes curated recommendations, structured analysis of public guest reviews, and editorial articles. Capsule Index is not a booking agent, a travel agency, or a hotel operator.
Capsule Index participates in Booking.com's affiliate programme. When a user clicks a link from Capsule Index to Booking.com and subsequently completes a reservation, Booking.com pays Capsule Index a commission. The price paid by the user is not affected by this arrangement. This is Capsule Index's sole source of revenue. Capsule Index does not accept payment from hotels for inclusion, placement, or favourable editorial coverage.
All reservations are completed on Booking.com's platform under Booking.com's own terms of service. When a user clicks an affiliate link, they leave Capsule Index and enter Booking.com. Capsule Index is not a party to any resulting reservation. Disputes regarding availability, pricing, check-in, cancellation, refunds, or the stay itself must be resolved between the user and Booking.com or the hotel operator. Capsule Index has no authority to mediate such disputes, but welcomes user reports to improve its editorial coverage.
Capsule Index's recommendations are opinions based on the editorial team's analysis of publicly visible guest reviews and other publicly available information. While reasonable efforts are made to keep information current and accurate, Capsule Index makes no warranty that any specific detail, score, review excerpt, distance, female-only arrangement, or amenity description reflects current conditions at a property. Users are expected to verify critical information with the hotel or booking platform prior to travel.
Editorial writing, methodology, scoring systems, design, and illustrations published on Capsule Index are the copyrighted work of Capsule Index and may not be reproduced, republished, or redistributed without prior written permission, except for short quotations with attribution for journalistic, educational, or review purposes.
Hotel names, property descriptions, photographs, and guest review excerpts are sourced from Booking.com under the affiliate programme. Map tiles are provided by OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap contributors under the Open Database License (ODbL).

Capsule Index reserves the right to block access, rate-limit, or refuse service in response to prohibited activity.
The Capsule Index site and all of its content is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by Swedish law, Capsule Index and its operators disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
In no event shall Capsule Index be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising out of the use of the site, reliance on its recommendations, hotel experiences, booking failures, availability issues, or errors in published information.
Capsule Index may update these terms as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site following publication of revised terms constitutes acceptance of those revised terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or the use of Capsule Index shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Sweden.
If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a competent court, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent of the original.
