Yep. If they would simply add that one feature - allowing people to confirm by receipt that they actually stayed or ate at the venue in question - it would make a huge difference. I also think that any reviews from posters with less than say 5 reviews, shouldn't count towards the ratings. All you have to do is look at say the top 20 rated restaurants in London to see that the ratings are a farce. Why can't they see that?
