 Who we are
------------

 Dalim.al is a small, independent editorial project run out of Tirana. We're locals — not a travel agency, not a booking platform, not a franchise. The people curating every listing, tip and city guide have eaten at most of the places on this site, and the ones they haven't yet are on the list. The name says it: in Albanian, "dalim" means "let's go out" — and that's the question this site is built to answer.

  02

 How we curate
---------------

 Every place on dalim.al is added by hand and reviewed before it goes live. We don't scrape, we don't run sponsored lists, we don't rank by who pays. The insider tips are short — 140 characters, one per visitor per place — because honest is always shorter than marketing. When we recommend somewhere, it's because it earns the recommendation.

 What we're not
----------------

 We're not Google Maps — they do pins better than we ever will. We're not Yelp or TripAdvisor — star ratings are broken everywhere, gamed by owners and angry tourists in equal measure. We're not a business directory padded with opening hours nobody updates. We're a place discovery guide — opinionated, local, and short enough to actually read.

###  Not Google Maps

 They do pins. We do judgment calls.

###  Not Yelp

 Star ratings are broken. We use 140-char insider tips.

###  Not a directory

 No opening hours nobody updates.

###  Not an algorithm

 Curation, not ranking. A person decides.

 How to trust us
-----------------

 If something on the site is wrong, tell us — every place has a "Suggest an edit" button and we read every submission. If you know a place that deserves to be here, add it through the submission form and we'll review it. If you're a business owner and want to talk about a premium listing, get in touch. Everything on the site is editorial — activation of a premium listing is an admin decision, not a payment field.
