Is there a website/engine which would allow re-scoring of a particular place by additional criteria? I would personally take out all one-post 5* reviews and re-score the place - that would most likely filter out at least half of of fake reviews.
What are your techniques to filter out fake reviews?
Not an easy task if you don't have access to their raw data and I doubt you do. I now have a list of reviewers I trust and I specifically look for their opinion on properties in the places I visit. The democracy of online reviews just doesn't cut it for me anymore.
