Reviews have become a big deal because the opinions of others can help us decide. The problem is that there are dozens of places on the internet to read property reviews and it’s hard to ask guests to take the time to go to work for you. Plus most folks like to keep their special vacation spot to themselves rather than tell the world.
To get reviews owners have paid guests and given discounts, which certainly isn’t right. Guests have used the threat of a bad review to extort money and free lodging from owners. The whole thing is a mess.
And how reliable are those reviews anyway? Does the person writing the review have a clue? Who knows? There has to be a better way.
We don’t have an open review section. Instead we provide space for owners to copy a few reviews of their choosing.
We also provide a professional review service for owners who opt for it. It’s a combination home inspection report and professional travel review that we review with the owner to address any issues and then post on their listing. It high grades the properties listed on FBC and provides travelers with a professional review they can rely on.
