The review system is rigged. I had given my bad review before and it was not published. Then I emailed to them and they replied that the reviews are randomly picked (ya right, more likely they censored the -ve ones)

Personally, I think they can make the review for hotels to appear higher. For example, out of 10 reviews, 5 good, 5 bad. They can "randomly" picked all 5 good and only 1 bad, which will give a impression that it is very good. I believe other hotels booking do the same things

That why I checked other websites like TripAdvisor and noted the vast difference in the reviews.

But I agree reviews are subjective and we tend to focus on the -ve ones
