Brussels has over 5,000 restaurants and bars listed online. Nearly 9% of reviews are fake or biased — a 267% increase in five years. Add paid influencers, sponsored posts, and industrial waffles disguised as artisanal : the tourist doesn’t stand a chance of finding the good addresses.
TripAdvisor removed 2.7 million fraudulent reviews in 2024. Including 360,000 linked to employee incentive programmes. What you’re reading are often ads in disguise.
In 2024, 214,000 reviews written by artificial intelligence were removed from TripAdvisor. How many slipped through the net? Nobody knows.
Across all platforms, nearly one third of reviews are fraudulent. Estimated cost to consumers: $787 billion in 2025. You deserve better.
“Influencers recommend whoever pays. Not whoever brews the best. You deserve a selection made by someone who has nothing to sell — except his expertise.”
