3. Main features of review moderation
Before being posted to our site, each review goes through our automated tracking system, which collects for each a certain amount of information. If the system detects an element in clear contradiction to our Guidelines, such as abusive or aggresive behaviour the review will not be posted to the site. The user may be informed as well as the reason for this and may be offered the opportunity to write another review in accordance with our Guidelines, depending on eligibility.
When the system detects a potential problem with a review, it is marked for review and is then manually reviewed by our team of content specialists. Please note that in some cases, we will also send you an e-mail asking you to validate your opinion before it is posted. You just have to click on the link provided in the e-mail.
4. When will my review appear on the site?
It usually takes less than 24 hours to see reviews on our site. The process can be longer if the review needs to be examined in more detail by our team of moderators.
5. How long will my review appear?
Once posted, your review will appear indefinitely on our site. Your review will only be removed if:
- you remove it.
- our team of moderators has determined that this review did not meet our Guidelines.
- an establishment is removed from our site, in which case all reviews are removed.
6. Can I be rewarded for a review?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal benefits, such as gifts, services or money, will be removed.
Establishments are free to encourage their clients to post their reviews when they return home. However, no representative of the establishment can offer premium, discount, upgrade or special treatment for current or future stays in exchange for advice.
7. Is it possible to modify a review?
Once submitted, your review can not be edited. You can remove your review and resubmit as long as it complies with our guidelines.
