It may be that earlier rules required that the initial review be deleted regardless of circumstances- or else I mis-read them. I published an updated review a few years ago and both the original and the update were highly complimentary, but I'd thought that you had to ask to have the original review deleted first even though there was no change in the overall tone.
Interesting that
www.tripadvisor.com is doing this.. I didn't know.
Through the years of changes,
www.tripadvisor.com remains a reliable source of experiences.. Granted they have been under pressure because of its commericialization.. and the fact that hotels depend on business generated from positive reviews.. but the good and the bad that's there for everyone to read, is a good source of raw experiences..
Read until satisfied!
