Can You Reward Staff for Positive Mentions in Reviews?

💬 “Thinking of giving bonuses when guests mention team members? Here’s the reality.”

⚠️ TripAdvisor now prohibits incentives tied to review mentions to prevent fake or biased reviews.

✅ Focus on inspiring authentic service—train and empower your team to create memorable experiences.

💡 Celebrate achievements internally with recognition programs, shout-outs, or perks unrelated to reviews.

✨ Great service naturally earns mentions—and genuine reviews build trust.
