Discrediting Trip Adviser

Just as I thought! Just received an email from lowcostholidays offering a £25 credit off my next holiday providing I add a POSITIVE report to Trip Adviser for the recent holiday to Salou which I booked for my mum.
Unbelievable that this sort of thing is allowed.

    Tripadvisor is just an Affiliate Commission website disguised as a hotel review site anyway.

    Cracking business model.

    See also Comparethemarket.com, GoCompare.com etc etc

    I prefer booking.com reviews.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    Such a message would be enough for me to add a NEGATIVE report for bribery and\or blackmail. I would include "Have been asked to post a positive report in exchange for a discounted holiday".

    On saying this, TA is reknown for deleting reports that are not positive. Its why I NEVER use Trip Advisor for accurate and unbiased reviews.
