Launch your Tripadvisor campaign
Start with 5 free verified-customer invitations
A verified-customer Tripadvisor review campaign is a structured way to grow Tripadvisor reviews without buying them. It starts from a verified customer event (stay, meal, attraction visit, or travel experience), invites that customer only through methods Tripadvisor allows, and lets them decide whether to respond, what to write, and which rating to give.
How it works
How Tripadvisor review collection works for hotels and tours
Verification is based on a completed stay, meal, attraction visit, or travel experience. Customers write their own feedback and choose their own rating.
Connect your customer records
Import completed stay, meal, attraction visit, or travel experience from your POS, CRM, booking tool, or invoice history.
Approve the invitation
We prepare a concise, neutral Tripadvisor request with your direct profile link.
Launch in measured batches
Invite guests after checkout or the completed visit while the experience is still easy to remember.
Measure and improve
Use response and profile data to improve timing, segmentation, and customer experience.
Verification
Only guests with a completed stay, meal, or tour are invited
Guests are matched to a real checkout, reservation, or ticket before any invitation is prepared.
Verified customer activity
Every invitation must connect to a completed stay, meal, attraction visit, or travel experience in your records.
Customer-controlled feedback
Customers decide whether to respond, what to write, and the rating they choose.
Campaign reporting
Track verification, invitation delivery, responses, profile growth, and next actions in one dashboard.

Tripadvisor guest review guide
Tripadvisor reviews for hotels, restaurants, and tours: rules and tools
What Tripadvisor lets owners do, how Review Express fits a guest journey, and how to answer reviews travelers will read.
How Tripadvisor reviews work for listed businesses
Tripadvisor collects first-hand reviews of hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, attractions, and tours. Owners manage their listing through the Tripadvisor Management Center, where they update photos and details, respond to reviews, and access free review tools. Owner rules and how-to articles are collected in the Tripadvisor Help Center for owners.
Owners may encourage reviews from real guests. They may not offer discounts, upgrades, free meals, or prize draws in exchange for a review, may not invite only guests they expect to be pleased, and may not review their own business, ask staff or relatives to post, or write about competitors. Tripadvisor screens submissions and can penalize listings that try to manipulate reviews.

Answering Tripadvisor reviews travelers will read
A management response stays visible under the review for as long as the review is published, so it is read by many future guests rather than only the reviewer. Write it for those future readers.
- Thank the guest and refer to something specific from their stay, meal, or tour.
- Acknowledge a problem plainly and say what has changed, if anything has.
- Never reveal booking details, room numbers, or a guest's personal information.
- Do not accuse a reviewer of lying; report a review through Tripadvisor if you believe it breaks the rules.
- Keep the tone the same for positive and negative reviews.
Mistakes that put a Tripadvisor listing at risk
- Offering a free drink, late checkout, or discount on the next visit for a review.
- Asking guests at the front desk to write a review on a lobby tablet or staff device.
- Sending invitations only to guests who rated the stay highly in an internal survey.
- Buying reviews or trading reviews with other local businesses.
- Ignoring negative reviews instead of answering them calmly.

FAQ
Tripadvisor review campaign FAQ
Answers about Tripadvisor's review rules and how a verified-customer campaign works on the platform.
Is it allowed to ask guests for Tripadvisor reviews?
Yes. Tripadvisor allows businesses to encourage reviews from real guests, but it does not allow incentives such as discounts, upgrades, or prize draws in exchange for a review, and invitations must not target only happy guests. We send neutral invitations to guests with a verified stay, meal, tour, or visit.
What is Tripadvisor Review Express?
Review Express is Tripadvisor's free tool that lets listed businesses email past guests a branded review invitation. You upload guest email addresses from your booking or management system, and Tripadvisor sends the request with a direct link to your listing. It is a policy-safe way to invite guests after a completed stay or visit.
Why not buy Tripadvisor reviews?
Tripadvisor screens reviews with automated tools and a content integrity team. Paid or fake reviews can be removed, and properties caught manipulating reviews can receive a ranking penalty and a red warning badge on their listing. In the United States, buying reviews also violates the FTC rule on fake reviews.
When should hotels and restaurants ask for a Tripadvisor review?
Ask at checkout or at the end of the meal, then send one follow-up shortly after the visit while details are still fresh. Mention the actual stay, meal, or tour, include the direct listing link, and avoid any wording that suggests a five-star rating is expected or rewarded.
Should I reply to Tripadvisor reviews?
Yes. Management responses appear under the review and are read by future travelers. Thank guests by referring to specific details, acknowledge problems without arguing, and explain what has changed. A calm, specific response to a negative review often reassures readers more than another positive review would.
