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.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fabulous 50th!

Emma came to the rescue, when the self-catering house we had booked suddenly cancelled on us at very short notice. However, in the end, I think that company did us a favour, as it meant we ended up hiring The Old Schoolhouse as self catering,...More

Located on the edge of Hawkshead, this large house is exactly as described in the literature. There is a range of walks that can be accessed from the front door, as can the local village hostelries for post walk sustenance. There was plenty of wood...More
