I have always advised my clients to take reviews on TripAdvisor and other similar sites with a grain of salt. I have had personal experience where hoteliers will ask guests to put positive reviews of their resorts on these sites. One actually handed me a card with the website addresses. In this case, I loved the hotel and was happy to do it but some people are offered incentives to write these reviews.
TripAdvisor is now WARNING its readers about this practice.
