Hotwire's property reviews now gone?
I have used hotwire a lot and been really happy with my savings and results, based on doing a fare amount of research before buying. Used to be you could read the reviews people left for individual properties, and pick up some clues based on what people said.
Then suddenly the reviews disappeared, then they came back, and now are gone again? Anyone else experiencing this too? If you can seem them, what browser are you using?
Thanks

Are you referring to the Secret Rate hotels or the Standard Rate hotels?
The Secret Rate ones have those "X% Recommended" ratings still listed where they have enough data to do it.
The Standard Rate ones have for a specific hotel both a link to TripAdvisor and reviews on the Hotwire site.

I agree. The only device I have displaying Hotwire reviews is my Ipod touch. I'm pretty sure Ipad does the same as these devices except for size are pretty much identical in functionality. Now, I guess it's not that they wanted to remove the reviews from the desktop sites (or other mobile like WP 8.1) but their developers are just plain stupid and couldn't port it to the new "improved" site. Or maybe Hotwire wanted it also removed from I-devices as well but they didn't figure it out yet. Again same problem. I also don't like the "mappiness" thing where things are floating like crazy as soon as you start moving the mouse.
