I could have sworn that there used to be a rule prohibiting price discussions, but either my memory is just wrong or they have changed that policy.
maybe you're confusing TA with Priceline or Hotwire, where discussion of prices and /or amenities will keep your review from being published.

Also some of our friends, who had the same Experience few Weeks ago, and wrote a Review, didnt got the Publishing of their Experience.
So, is here anyone, who could tell us, why they do not publish the Bad entries?
(So from now on, we are little bit carefully with Tripadvisor, because if the do not publish the True of some Hotels, why i should look to their Page, if i want have a fair information about my Hotels i want to inform me?)
Since you only have 1 post on FT, I am ignoring you.
Just kidding. I've read this complaint before, but since I've written 50-100 reviews on TA and everyone's been published, I can't give you an answer. I did have one replaced, which was a shame. I returned to a favorite hotel in Paris 3 years later and wanted to update my original review. They published it, but deleted the original.
I'm one who reads the reviews and looks for certain things. If one reviewer mentions a cleanliness issue, I don't book. Better safe than sorry.
One thing I'm taking from this thread is the need to identify the room number when I have an issue with the room. Sometimes it's just one room, floor, or side of the building that gives offense.
And yes, I read reviews for entertainment value as well.
