If I don't write a review for a guest, will their review of us appear on our page anyway?

Hello,

We had two guests recently that we were very displeased with, and I suspect the feeling was mutual. Since almost 14 days have passed and they had not written a review I figured I would do the same, the old "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" rule. However, I just received notice that they have now written a review.

If I choose not to write a review for them, will their review go public anyway? Even though we bent over backwards to please these individuals who seemed to think they should have been staying in a polished urban hotel instead of a country house I'm afraid their review will reflect their (apparent) disappointment, and not our efforts to please them.

Thanks,

Amber

Maybe they didn’t write one because it will show up after 14 days even if it’s one person who wrote it. To my knowledge…

I think the whole entire review process is horrible and to be honest, not an accurate gage of things. I have run a hotel for over 27 years and feel the views of professional travel writers have always been more objective but we are stuck with this system. I always write good reviews for my clients no matter what ....kill them with kindness so to speak, but if I have a guest who I know is  bent on writing a poor review, I pass writing anything on them. In all the cases I have never seen a review posted by them as a result

What was the outcome?
