TripAdvisor to remove negative reviews when hotels renovate

TripAdvisor is to be commended for reviewing its policy towards hotels which want to wipe the review slate clean after major renovations have taken place. At the same time, it is vital that a robust method is used to validate these changes.

Hotel groups may spend millions on renovations to a property or brands may change, but this doesn’t necessarily remove underlying problems at each property. Poor guest experience and negative reviews are usually the result of human error. Dirty rooms, unhelpful staff, poor food and dangerous pools are all the result of poor management which can’t be forgotten about when a renovation is made.

When TripAdvisor analyse hotel alterations to decide whether old reviews can be deleted, transparency is vital to ensure that a guest is still receiving an accurate picture of where they are looking to stay. Guest experience and wellbeing must be the priority, so TripAdvisor must work hotels hard to prove that renovations are worthy of having old reviews removed.
