The standards that govern every review, guide, and recommendation published on The Gilt Atlas.
The Gilt Atlas accepts no complimentary stays, flights, upgrades, or experiences in exchange for coverage. Every property and airline reviewed on this site was booked and paid for personally by the author. No hotel, airline, or tourism board has any influence over what we publish or how we rate it.
We do not write about places we have not personally visited. We do not aggregate third-party reviews. We do not publish destination guides based on research alone. If something appears in these pages, we were there.
Prices, programs, room categories, and hotel standards change. Where we become aware that information has become materially inaccurate, we update the relevant article and note the date of the update. If you spot something that needs correcting, we welcome the note via the contact page.
Some links on The Gilt Atlas are affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through them, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships are established after the fact and have no influence on our ratings or editorial conclusions. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
The Gilt Atlas does not sell display advertising. We do not run sponsored posts, native advertising, or paid placements. The only commercial relationships on this site are affiliate partnerships, which are disclosed transparently.
Unless otherwise credited, all photography on The Gilt Atlas is original — taken during personal visits. We do not use hotel-supplied press photography as a substitute for our own images.
