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 decided to cancel (my decision) our holidays in UAE, so after spending many minutes on their customer service FAQ and discussing with their silly chatbot, I managed to find their phone number. I had bought (for 2 passengers) refundable tickets with 260.- Swiss francs refund…

I have to agree with the one star reviews here. In this post-COVID era, airlines need to offer customers more flexibility with booking. $199 USD to change your flight - WHA??? And that too, you cannot change the destination - just the date. So they lock you in, and you're left…
