So, is there some science to spotting fake reviews here? What do you think?

Ah ber ever the cynic
In fairness a lot are easy to spot, but with the sheer volume that Highway and John have to go through some will still slip through and get published.

Better be the cynic than the eternal optimist which will only lead to continious dissapointment

It's not that some slip through. It's just very hard to prove sometimes. There's plenty I say to myself are fake but without me been in the bedroom with them there's no way of knowing for sure.

Actually to face the truth brings great contentment and very little dissapointment, just remember the vast majority of
people have some angle they are working so a little awareness is crucial

I actually quite like Trip Advisor but take a general over view of the reviews rather than one or two glowing ones or one or two bad ones.
A bit like on here as not everyone likes the same things and you can't trust everyone who writes reviews are being accurate and honest.
Take life with a bit of salt!!
