CONTENT MODERATION

Guest Review Moderation Guidelines

We only accept customer reviews from customers who have booked and completed a hotel stay with us. Occasionally, we may also obtain and display customer reviews from other third-party service providers. Reviews may include a rating, text, and/or images.

All the reviews submitted by customers are initially auto-moderated. The reviews that do not pass the auto-moderation check due to various reasons, like suspected fraud reviews, irrelevant reviews, comments containing profanity, etc. are manually moderated.

While manually moderating reviews, we make the best efforts to ensure that the intent, meaning, or the language of the review is not changed. This means that neither will the reviews get edited for grammar, spellings, sentence construction, use of abbreviations, nor will it be edited to make it more comprehensible. We understand that customers are not professional writers, and any change in the content makes the reviews look fake and fabricated.

We make reasonable efforts to detect fake reviews. We reserve the right to delete and investigate any review we have reason to believe is fake. We may also cease showing reviews of a property if the management of the property changes.

We make no representation or warranty regarding the accuracy, genuineness, or veracity of any review. Anyone who relies on such reviews does so at their own risk.

Moderation Guidelines for Content Only Reviews

What kind of reviews are accepted?

  • Reviews containing abusive or inappropriate language, personal attacks, hotel pricing details, comparisons with other hotels or OTAs, or statements that are controversial or disrespectful towards any religion are removed. The review may still be published with the remaining appropriate text.
  • PMT may make minimal edits to a review – only to modify, mask, or replace specific words or expressions that are profane, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate for public display. These edits do not change the overall intent, meaning, or sentiment of the original review.
  • Reviews written in regional languages are accepted wherever possible. If a review is in a language other than Hindi, an English translation (using available online tools) is added.

What kind of reviews are rejected?

  • Duplicate Reviews: Only the two most recent reviews shared by a customer are accepted while the others are rejected. This is done to prevent fraudulent reviews from coming in.
  • No Check-in Review: A review is rejected if a customer cancels the booking, does not receive any hotel booking confirmation, or does not show up at the hotel.
  • Fake Review: Reviews posted through a travel agent's email ID and non-booking reviews are rejected. There is a fraud check in the auto-moderation flow as well.
  • Irrelevant Review: Reviews which don't mention anything specific about the hotel stay experience are rejected/modified to that extent. For example: "wait for reviews on the way", "I have lost my winter jacket.", or hotel reviews which seek to penalise the hotel for the booking process handled by the online OTA.
  • Hotel Rules Issue: A review is rejected if a customer is not allowed to check-in due to a breach of the hotel rules and policies.
  • Review about Another Hotel: Reviews with feedback on any other hotel, and not where the customer stayed, are rejected.

Airlines retain the right to reschedule flight times, route, change or cancel flights or itineraries independent of and without prior intimation to PMT. As a facilitator PMT has no control or authority over the logistics of the airlines and therefore is not liable for any loss, direct or incidental, that a User may incur due to such change or cancellation of a flight.

Different tickets on the same airline may carry different restrictions or include different services and price.

The baggage allowance on given fare is as per the terms decided by the airline, and PMT has no role to play in the same.

The prices for adding check-in baggage to a booking may vary from airline to airline. The User is advised to contact the airlines for detailed costs.

CODE SHARE

Some airlines enter into "code share" agreements with other Airlines.

Instead, it contracts or partners with another airline to fly to that destination. The partner airline is listed as "operated by" in the booking flow.

If your flight is a code share, it will be disclosed to you in the booking process and prior to payment.
