I've posted more than 150 reviews of restaurants, attractions, etc. to Trip Advisor. Many accompanied by photos I've taken. Today, I received an email which read in part:

Follow-up to your review
As part of our effort to ensure the integrity of the 1 billion plus reviews and opinions found on Tripadvisor, we sometimes ask our members if they received incentives in exchange for their reviews.

I oftentimes read comments across social media questioning the veracity of TA reviews and in the instance of restaurant reviews I honestly don't think I've seen many I think are planted by business owners.

Have any others reading this sub experienced a similar query? I'm wondering if someone reported the particular restaurant review as suspect? Or does TA routinely ask high-volume reviewers about our motivations? Anyhow, I answered the questions honestly and assume that's that.
