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.

Awful

Aug 2020 • Family

This is just somebody’s private house. It’s very hidden by a large amount of trees and bushes. It is a waste of time to be honest. Don’t go there

Nice house

June 2023 • Couples

Nice to see where Tolkien lived and wrote but I wonder if the present owners like people looking at their house? Ila nice house in the suburbs of Oxford. It would be nice if it was opened as a museum
