Fake reviews often cluster in short bursts, repeat the same phrasing, and praise or attack a property in vague, generic terms without specific details about rooms, staff or location. Reviewer history matters too: accounts with a single review, or dozens of reviews across unrelated cities, are common red flags. Comparing the same property across several review sites usually exposes patterns that one platform alone hides.
Greenwashing is when a property presents itself as environmentally responsible using imagery, vague language or optional towel-reuse programmes, while its actual energy, water and waste practices are unchanged. It works because most sustainability claims on booking pages are self-declared and unverified. Recognised green hotel certifications and published data on energy use are more reliable signals than marketing copy.
Credible certifications involve third-party auditing against published standards, cover measurable areas such as energy, water, waste and sourcing, and require periodic renewal. Self-awarded badges and in-house eco labels carry no independent verification. Checking who issues a certificate, and what it actually measures, separates meaningful schemes from decorative ones.
