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.

Enjoyed a lovely relaxing Wednesday in Raglan and fancied a nice birthday meal to finish the day. At the entrance the lady asked where I'd like to sit in the half empty restaurant "Somewhere I can watch the sunset" I said. So she showed me...More

Went for brunch on a public holiday. The service was very slow with us having to request our coffees and food several times. The eggs benedict were cold and hard boiled and suspect they had been left sitting for some time before being served. The...More
