Free, copy-and-paste SMS and email templates that help your customers write detailed, authentic, algorithm-friendly reviews on Tripadvisor.
Tripadvisor is the decision engine for hospitality and travel. For restaurants, hotels and attractions, your ranking and bubble rating directly shape how many bookings and walk-ins you get from travellers researching a destination.
Tripadvisor's Popularity Ranking rewards recency, quantity and quality of reviews. A consistent flow of detailed reviews lifts you above competitors in your category and city, which is where most discovery happens.
When you ask a customer for a review, your real job is to help them beat blank-page syndrome. A great Tripadvisor review almost always contains these elements:
Don't send a blank Tripadvisor review link. Give customers two or three guiding questions to shape their response. Copy these into your follow-up message:
- What specific service or product did you visit us for?
- Did a specific team member make your experience exceptional?
- What would you tell a traveller deciding whether to visit us?
Subject: How did we do, [Customer Name]?
Hi [Customer Name],

| No incentives, ever | Tripadvisor's fraud detection is strict. Offering anything for a review can get your listing penalised or banned from ranking. |
| Use the free Review Express tool | Tripadvisor encourages collecting reviews via its own Review Express email system, which produces compliant, recency-boosting reviews. |
| Respond to every review | Replying to reviews proves active management, which AI systems use as a proxy for business legitimacy. |
Open your listing on Tripadvisor and use 'Write a review', or grab your Review Express link from the management centre. Paste the deepest listing/review link into Saint Aura.
