Who pays the sites that sell us travel adventures? Ah, yes, they must be the ones who have blocked my review of a certain site and information about listing another. They said they only publish “first-hand traveler experiences” and apparently mine did not make the grade.
They were wrong, http://www.tripadvisor.com, for telling me that I lied and was a business owner or manager trying to “pad” the reviews. In fact, I gave a negative review and they still wrote me and told me it was not a “first-hand traveler experience.”
I will not use the aforementioned site again until I receive an apology for their error. If they’re looking only for good first-hand reviews I can only tell the truth and what I experience on a visit to a hotel or restaurant. When I look to travel anywhere I appreciate honest reviews from people who’ve been there. If they do not appreciate honest reviews and then tell me I have not been to the restaurant or hotel so my review cannot be considered for publication (when many of my reviews have been published in the past) I have to wonder if those of us who use this “service” can count on its legitimacy.

They told me to edit and try to re-publish the first review they declined to publish. Everything in it was true. They did not apologize for their error in saying it was not a “first-hand traveler experience.” It appears I’ll have to deal with them here rather than with their computers.
