Most Common TripAdvisor Complaints and Tips

While TripAdvisor is a leading platform for travel reviews and recommendations, our community has pointed out a concerning issue related to business acquisitions. Common complaints include losing all positive reviews when a business is bought, which impacts the new owner's online reputation and perceived service quality. This can be frustrating for both business owners and potential customers relying on those reviews for decision-making.

To avoid these issues, we recommend business owners ensure a transition plan is in place that preserves existing reviews. Customers should check recent reviews and be aware of potential changes in ownership that might affect service quality even if earlier reviews are missing.
