The last place I rented through Hotels.com had artificially boosted reviews. How can I make sure they are true?

There is no foolproof way to verify Hotels.com reviews, but there are ways to spot fake reviews and get a better idea of a property:
• Examine the reviews first. Generic, overstated, or repetitive language is common in fake reviews.
• Check the reviewer's profile for patterns like only one or two overwhelmingly positive reviews of the same property.
• Property reviews should be detailed, as fake ones are usually vague. Beware of sudden positive reviews around the same time.
• Check more than just reviews. Visit Hotels.com to view ratings by cleanliness, location, and value.
• Compare user-uploaded hotel photos to professional ones for consistency. Search online for independent property reviews, news articles, and blogs for different perspectives.
• Use Xolvie, TripAdvisor, or Google My Business for more reviews and comparisons.
