Travel advice and review site TripAdvisor has been criticised for not doing more to warn users about businesses which are at the centre of sexual assault incidents . UK newspaper TripAdvisor added it had a team of hundreds of people working on content moderation focused on “maintaining the integrity” of the site, and that thousands of reviews on the website described health and safety issues, including sexual assault and other crimes. The Guardian discovered 40 reviews on the site , detailing incidents of alleged sexual assault and rape at highly rated hotels and other enterprises . In November 2017 , TripAdvisor issued a ' red flag ' warning to businesses where " harassment , discrimination and safety " problems had been identified , followed by a six - month evaluation period . Critics said the measures did not go far enough to protect users .
