I'm guessing you never worked for the public?

only post reviews when I have something positive to say. The lack of positive reviews can be just as bad as negative reviews. I usually don't even read nor give credit to a review that starts with "WORST SERVICE EVER!!!" or anything like that.


The people who review the most think they are Anthony bourdains love child.

I've had to answer these reviews with previous jobs. Some are based on a good or bad experience but others are just boorish curmudgeons with not much to do who think they are experts at everything.

I write in the review what I would want to read if I was considering the place. I try not to overpraise or murder the place. Some places earn the over the top reviews, both good and bad, but most places fall in the middle.

I only leave positive reviews for the most part, and even that is a rare thing. I mostly do it for businesses that are lesser known and could use the good publicity.

The only exception is AirBnb. On that website, they allow you to call a space private/entire household when it is a renovated garage storage room or something similar. I won't slam a place that's nice, but I've left reviews when I've had to enter through someone's front door and foyer while they are home to get into my space. I feel that potential renters have the right to know what they're in for in situations like that.

Blur out your name and post the review.



I've been around a lot longer than this says. And certainly long enough to know what posting a review would lead to

Listen here you beer hipster who parades under the name of mavens, while you may think Opus Vert is brewed with the pearls of moisture falling from Aphrodite's pussy, I assure you, it's boring.

A good bitter is one thing, but don't push your luck

The wine selection was a joke


Wait. You rented a vacation home that was already stocked with booze? Is this a thing? You don't just bring your own? One less thing to have to complain about IMO.

But seriously, how does that work? You just get charged afterwards for what you drink?

You can rent vacation homes fully stocked with booze and food if you want. Hell, you can rent them when the owner or a hired cook comes in a prepares your food for you each night. Just depends on how deep your pockets are

I actually had a friend recently use a concierge in Orange Beach area recently where they got the beach house stocked with groceries/food for the week before they arrived by this service. It's their own beach home that they own. The concierge service was just an outside company offering that, along with private chef services if you are into that.

I ignore any review that uses exclamation points, talks about how super friendly the hotel or restaurant staff was (I want them to do their jobs - I don't care if they greet me by name), or goes overboard with their praise. I'm sure the Hilton was nice, but I'll question their credibility when they write that it's the greatest hotel that they've ever experienced.

Yep.

But it was all California stuff. I prefer South American when it comes to wines. I also prefer reds to white.

I basically drank stolichnaya bloody marys for 5 days.

Idk. I'm of the opinion things should be as advertised. I'll stay in a tin shack, and have, provided it's advertised as a tin shack.

The inaccuracies and embellishments with online reviews are ridiculous. A good social media company can make them disappear as well. They are largely a waste of time

Bingo.

Just say what it actually is.

The place in question had tons of features we weremt aware of and were shocked were included for the price. But it also was missing quite a few things that we were looking forward to.

I only review places and things I like so I can maintain a positive attitude.

I don't leave reviews. My time is valuable. I will read them and can easily see when someone is being a douche or pompous a-hole. I just ignore or totally discount those.
