We started getting reviews (128 currently) when we started asking for them. Even then, most folks say they would love to write a review but only a small % of those actually do. I usually try to work the request into an ongoing conversation at breakfast about how guests found us. Obviously, I never mention reviews if we have a PITA on board.We have been in business about 7 years. We have ONE TA review, but hundreds of positive reviews in our journals and unsolicited verbal reviews from guests who gush over us and promise to return. Go figure....
Same here. Only once in the past 5 years have I booked a place that had no reviews, and it was a BIG mistake. We walked out after 5 mins.No matter where you go you should check the reviews of the hotel and when you find everything satisfactory, you should book it. That's what I did when I booked hotel on my last vacation after checking reviews of Barcelona hotels..
trouble is what if somewhere is super new? my neighbour kept trying to get listed on trip adviser as people were trying to review - but it just didn't take! took about 3 years to get listed and she has about 10 reviews in 6 months all of which are good - but it was a struggle to get on in the first place.Same here.

You wonder what world they live in to run an inn and not have a web presence or reviews of any kind. But you confirmed it once you got there...Highlands John said:Same here.
