Are Trip Advisor reviews reliable ?

The reliability of online websites has always been controversial, especially in the realm of user reviews and advice.  TripAdvisor, one of the leading online review sites for hotels, resorts, flights, vacation rentals, travel packages, etc. has been up for question for a few years now.

Like most other online review sites, it’s an easy process to become a member and write a review.  However, those that are interested enough to become a member and write a review are likely to publish a handful of reviews, not just one.  This is where TripAdvisor users seem to be manipulating the system.
