Sneaky Accor has limited reviews

[FlyingFiona]

Not sure if this is a long standing approach, but Accor appears to limit which reviews of a hotel you can read to the last 20 only.

I've looked at a few properties and all are the same but here's an example: Mercure Melbourne La Trobe Street

Does anyone know how to read more?

Use a different review platform.

Google, booking.com, tripadvisor etc.

You never really know these days if bad reviews are pulled if the owner/operator has a lever to pull. Real Estate agents are shocking with this online with their own websites.

Reminds me of the old testimonials on some sites with nothing but glowing reviews. Head over to some independent site and it’s mixed.

We often see the same with employer engagement surveys with IDs now linked to surveys. People will be more up front on independent non traceable platforms over something that is tracked, Management do better with their scorecards if it’s somewhat less anonymous as the pool will be smaller and they are often Management suckers leaving positive reviews.

Agree with above comment - better get your reviews from more independent platforms.

Google Maps, Tripadvisor. Nothing's perfect of course.

But definitely better than reviews published by the actual organisation being reviewed!

Agree with above. I never go by reviews on the organisations own site.
Even independent reviews I find are a bit of a hit and miss these days.

I partly wanted to see them because I wrote one and I was curious what the management had replied (only the one I wrote one was last month so more than 20 reviews ago).

What are some independent platform people use to read hotel reviews?

TripAdvisor, Trip and Booking.com for me but I generally just have a quick glance and don’t get too immersed in them

I tend to agree. Quick skim over Trip Advisor, I was looking at one in Nth Sydney only recently, 4/5 Star reviews for the bulk of them, building only a few years old. You get the odd low ball review, ie the lone hair found on a bed sheet, or a tiny blood stain found on a carpet reviews… you can’t take too seriously. Get a microscope out you will be surprised how much hair and blood exists on every inch of anything anywhere!
