EnEsEl Reviews are incredibly instrumental when traveling to a new city or country. You take them all with a grain of salt, but most are helpful whether it's learning if a museum or a site of interest is worth visiting despite a steep entrance fee, or what to expect when ordering a restaurant's signature dish.  You compare the review to other reviews, and you also vet the reviewer based on the quantity or quality of their other reviews. I've stopped using Yelp long ago, I use Google map reviews and comments on Reddit are most helpful followed by Trip Advisor if I need to. (TripAdvisor has too many ads now for packages, sometimes it's difficult to sort and filter their reviews so I've stopped using them as much.)I think the majority of reviewers are reviewers like me who take the time to write a detailed review because they want to be helpful to others. The reviews help keep owners accountable and the reviews help give accurate info at the time they're written. The ability to make corrections on Google maps (for opening hours or an update that the business is closed) is also super helpful.
