Hotels & hospitality: review removal and reputation defence
In hospitality a review is not only reputation — it is position in a ranking that decides occupancy.
The pattern in hotels & hospitality
Review blackmail, OTA mismatches and ranking pressure
What goes wrong here
Guests threatening a one-star review unless they are upgraded or refunded. Reviews describing a property in another city. Complaints about an OTA's booking terms posted as a review of the hotel.
What is usually removable
Review blackmail cases, reviews with no matching booking, hearsay reviews written by people who never stayed, and content that identifies staff by name.
Evidence you already have
PMS and booking records, folios, key-card logs, OTA reservation IDs and preserved correspondence. Never delete the message where the demand was made.
