About Us

We find Singapore's best, so you don't have to

EatStays Singapore is a curated guide for visitors who want every meal, every night and every day out to be worth it.

Our story

Born from too many good trips ruined by one bad meal

Singapore has thousands of restaurants and hundreds of hotels. For a visitor with only a few days, sorting the unforgettable from the merely okay is exhausting.

So we built the guide we wished we had: short, honest and focused on quality. Only places that real diners and guests consistently rate 4 stars or higher make it in, and we re-check them every week so the list stays current.

How we choose

Four steps before anything is listed

Only places rated 4+ on Google make the list, and weekly checks decide whether they stay.

  • Shortlist

    We start with places holding a Google average of 4.0 or higher from a substantial number of reviews, so we're not relying on a handful of opinions.

  • Verify

    We cross-check the details that matter to visitors: location, opening hours, price range and how recent reviews are trending.

  • Write it up

    We publish practical details visitors need: what to order, which room to book, the best time to go and how to get there.

  • Re-check weekly

    Ratings, hours and prices are reviewed every week. Places that slip below 4.0 or close are removed.

Rating policy

Our rules are simple, and we never bend them

Trust is the whole point of a guide. These rules apply to every restaurant and hotel on EatStays.

  • Restaurants and hotels must average at least 4.0 stars on Google.
  • Ratings and opening hours are re-checked every week and dated on each listing.
  • No paid placements, sponsored rankings or free stays in exchange for coverage.
  • Ratings are shown as published by Google at the time of our last check, and may change.

What we believe

The values behind every recommendation

  • Visitor first

    Everything we write answers one question: is this worth your limited time in Singapore?

  • Independent

    Venues can't pay to be listed or ranked higher. Any affiliate links will always be clearly labelled.

  • Local insight

    Beyond the ratings, we share the timing, etiquette and small details that only locals tend to know.
