Selection
We choose properties that meet our core criteria: real hotel or resort accommodation plus a physical on-site casino.
About Lystar Hotel Casino Reviews
We are an independent editorial publication focused entirely on hotels and resorts that have a physical on-site casino. Our mission is to help travellers make informed decisions about their stay by providing accurate, practical information without the noise of gambling promotions.
Our Story
Lystar Reviews was founded in 2023 after a frustrating search for reliable hotel casino information. Most guides focused on bonuses and promotional offers. We wanted something better: an honest review of the accommodation, dining, spa and location, with clear facts about the casino itself.
Today our team of five editors and researchers covers properties across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. We personally verify information through official sources, property websites, and direct contact with hotel management. We never publish content we cannot verify, and we clearly label any information that remains unconfirmed.

How We Work
Verification
All facts are checked against official websites and direct communications. Prices, awards and guest reviews are not invented.
Publication
Each review shows the date of last checking and identifies any unverified or missing information clearly.
Updates
We update reviews when properties change their facilities, policies or casino entry requirements.
Our Editorial Values
- Accuracy over speed. Every claim is sourced, and unverified data is labelled.
- Transparency. We disclose affiliate relationships and clearly label paid placements.
- Responsibility. We never encourage gambling, and we prominently feature age notices and support resources.
- Reader first. Our reviews are written for travellers, not for the gambling industry.
