While I am always wary of one post wonders, I am surprised how many people post for the first time about the hotel I work in. They are not paid, or asked to post, and for the most part, their reviews are pretty accurate. This has led me to not discount the single posts anymore, but to just average them in with the others. I still give more weight to a user review that has many many posts though.
