Tripadvisor operates a website and mobile app with user-generated content and offers online hotel reservations as well as bookings for transportation, lodging, travel experiences, and restaurants. It’s the world's largest travel platform and helps 463 million travelers each month make every trip their best.
The Tripadvisor app is free for use to all users. Once signed, users/clients could post reviews about a place they visited, and the business can view and respond to reviews. To access reviews, one goes to the reviews page, clicks on the title of the review, and they are directly taken to the page where the review was published. TripAdvisor uses a popularity algorithm for ranking businesses. Popularity Ranking is based on the quality, recency, and quantity of reviews received from users. TripAdvisor bubble ratings provided by users as part of their reviews are also to rank the quality of the experience at each business.
