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.

Seats were tiny and uncomfortable for a 7 hour flight. By the time food service was made available to me, they had run out of non veg option. The veg meal was not tasty or hot. With all the crying and kicking youngsters, the lack of captions on the few tv shows provided left me…

I fly a LOT and this was, by far, the worst experience I've ever had. We paid $92 per person to upgrade for extra legroom, which gave us barely more legroom than a cheap seat on Delta. The whole plane was such a hot box everyone was dripping w sweat. The seats felt like wooden…
