That’s just wrong. Plenty of useful information in reviews, even when most of them are gamed. Bad reviews are always useful so you should leave them, especially if they exist to counter the good fake ones.

I disagree. The best way to counter a wall of fake reviews is one thorough, real review. Add a few photos, if you can.

I review every hotel I stay at. From time to time, I switch on a VPN, go into private browsing, and get a bit of joy when I see that my 500+ word Google reviews are the first thing people see.
