Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I faced an unexpected situation on board when my seat was indicated for another passenger. Even this is not surprising... but it is surprising that the service people on board behaves as terrible as possible - despite the fact that the movement on board is blocked due to the

"Bring eye shades, good ear plugs, something for lumbar and neck support and you'll have quite a comfortable sleep. Slippers also help."
