Guests pay for negative reviews

Tables are turned for reviews found wanting for hotel operator:

NY hotel charges $500 for negative reviews | New York's PIX11 / WPIX-TV

I wonder what the credit card company would say if you did a charge back?

Hope they go broke.

Ludicrous, ridiculous and pathetic.

And people use their real names when reviewing hotels?

I know guests can be unfairly malicious and frivolously slanderous with negative reviews, but this is taking the mickey.

I'd like to see how this would hold up in a court of law.

This kind of threat may work in socialist parts of Europe (e.g. France), but good luck for other jurisdictions.....

Sometimes they even do so on AFF.

There is only 1 that I know of but he has since switched handles.

Unless you mean the hotel will try to cross reference JohnK with someone that stayed at the hotel and wrote a review on TripAdvisor as JohnK_BNE.... even though JohnK actually lives in SYD.

If this idea catches on I should be able to make a killing from my annual performance reviews at work.
