The Company known as Trip Advisor should be totally ashamed of their Un-ethical, un-professional business practices
For some reason this web site thrives on slander, libel , character and business assisination, its almost like the meaner the review is, the better they think their personal ratings on the web are.
This site allows a guest of a Hotel , Motel or Inn to make a comment, that comment can be good or bad in regards to the guests stay, if you review this web page, it only reads all negative comments, and the web master for this page allows the guest to literally use slanderous, and libelous comments , though it states that such language or use of words is not allowed, well
they do allow it, as I am proof.
Its the only web page, that says they allow the owner or management of the business to reply to the posted message, but when you try as an owner or manager, you are denied this action? now tell me why? this web site advertises that it is a biast review, how can they post that when they will only listen to one side of the story, every ligitimate Better Business Bureau listens to both sides of a story? not Trip Advisor They are literally bashing and blemishing peoples Business' and personal reputations. this should be banned from the internet? is there no govt agecency that could conduct a full blown investigation on this web site Do you realize that you could be in competition with another business and they could spend hours and hours just sending in unauthourized reviews about your business to tarnish potential guests from coming to your busines establishment, Trip Advisor states that you are not to fraudulently make a review, but there is no way for your competitor to not make up a phony email address and bash away
Web sites should be about the truth..not about lies and acqusations that can not be heard by both sides
This web page is an insult to Business Ethics and Standards I want to get the word out there, some Business' might not understand why their Business is not doing well, maybe you better check your Business'
name under Trip Advisor , that might be ther reason your sales have dropped Trip Advisor and its web master should be ashamed of themselves as they are not supplying any biast reviews to the public, they are thriving off the ratings from Bully's

TripAdvisor CEO Kaufer is a malicious slanderer!

AUTHOR: Stephen Kaufer - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, July 01, 2008

No matter how hard you work at your hotel business trying to do the best you can to be a success and maybe make a tiny pittance of profit from your considerable effort, there will always be someone who will try to make a living out of undermining you, telling vindictive malicious lies about you. A smirking smug bullsh*tter like Stephen Kaufer.

He does not represent, sell or provide goods or services, he peddles gossip, innuendo, slander and libel. Kaufer is in the bullsh*t business.

Not everyone who posts a dissenting opinion works for Trip Advisor. I certainly do not.

I Stayed At Madison's Haunted Inn and Enjoyed The Experience

AUTHOR: Flossie1868 - (Canada)

POSTED: Monday, December 24, 2007

I just spent this last Saturday Night @ Madison's Haunted Inn @ Kincardine Ontario and I really liked it. I went for the Paranormal Experience and I was totally blown away by the whole experience. The Mansion is so very cool and so spooky and its haunted to boot. We were literally trembling from fear all night. The room we were in was so classy that we felt a little out of place. We didnt want to make a mess or touch anything.

As far as the comments from Trip Advisor go on this location. The guests that spent the night from the US were wrong. Our sheets were so crispy and smooth that my wife said she thought they were egyptian, there were no worn sheets on our bed. We also liked the idea that the owners were not in our face or placing any restrictions upon us during the night, we roamed around the hallways and took lots of pictures and film footage we liked that they were not at our door in the morning and we just packed up and packed the car without any one wanting to converse at 9am in the morning. I would recommend this truly haunted location to everyone. Just be prepared to experience fear !!! of the unknown..

Trip Advisor is NOT a Rip Off

AUTHOR: Phectorne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, December 17, 2007

I have used Trip Advisor on several occasions while traveling. I have also posted several times, both positive and negative, on Trip Advisor. As the others state, if you are getting a lot of negative remarks, maybe you need to check into the complaints and find out what the problems are.

Not just negatives...

AUTHOR: Ken - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, December 17, 2007

I have filed several reports on TripAdvisor about no fewer than five different locations around the US. Several reports have been more negative than positive. However, several others have been exclusively positive, and they do indeed show up on TA.

So Michelle please do not make such blatantly false statements about "only negative reports show up". If your establishment is getting negative reviews, perhaps it is due to the service your patrons are getting.

And as the CEO, it starts with you.

Good luck.

Biast?

AUTHOR: Melissa - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, December 17, 2007

I think you mean "unbiased" as in, not taking a side. If you have a lot of bad reviews on Trip Advisor, perhaps you should look into improving your hotel. Just a thought.
