Hi everyone,

It's a work in progress. Our team is working to get through the backlog. Looks like a little bit more work than expected.

Hi again everyone. We're still working through our backlog. Lots of exciting new properties and reviews!

Cool :)
Thanks

Hi there

I wrote a review for the Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech. (here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/expe...marrakech.html or on expert reviews here: https://www.flyertalk.com/hotel-revi...marrakech-2670 )

But somehow I received neither the badge, nor the does the review appear on the global review map. I see that there were mentions of some kind of backlog and that hotels that have not been reviewed before need to have a new page created for them manually.
So I'm wondering how long does it take for a review (of a new hotel) to be fully implemented (in the map) and how long does it take for the badge to appear? (I really want that Fairmont Review Contributor Badge :) )

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick,

Your review should be up now. Depending on how busy our schedules are, a review can take a day or two to get up now that the backlog is cleared.

Hi Nick, it looks like we did have a small technical hiccup with your review, but I figured it out and it should now be viewable.

Some of the issues that I pointed out a month ago still exist so I thought you were still working on a backlog, and therefore I am surprised to read the statement above. For example, as mentioned before, Grand Hyatt Dubai still does not show up on the master map of reviews. I still have a number of other reviews that are not counted because I can see a discrepancy between the number of reviews I have under my profile, "hotel reviews" (or "map" of my reviews), and the number of reviews counted for the badges. It seems the reviews not counted for the badges are exactly the same reviews that do not show up on the master map so the two issues are probably linked.

We're looking into this. It looks like a different technical issue than we first thought.
EDIT: Should be good now.

Yes thank you!

I believe all my reviews now show up on the master map. There is only one small exception: Grand Hyatt Melbourne. It shows up on the master map but when you click on the hotel it says "0 reviews, 0% recommended". And my review is not there to read. It is also not in my profile, under "hotel reviews". However it is in my profile, "map", at the very end.

Also there seems to be a small unrelated issue which might not allow proper search by brand and loyalty program:
Hilton Surfers Paradise: it incorrectly shows up as "Brand = AC Hotels by Marriott" and nothing shows up for Loyalty Program rather than "Hilton Honors"
The Library (Koh Samui): it incorrectly shows up as "Brand = AC Hotels by Marriott". Should be Brand = Design Hotels. And Loyalty program says independent boutique, but should be Starwood.
Sheraton Saint-Hyacinthe: it incorrectly shows up as "Brand = AC Hotels by Marriott" and nothing shows up for Loyalty Program rather than "Starwood"

Those should all be updated (although we don't have a category for Design Hotels).

I checked the changes and indeed all looks good now! ^

Just curious now that I have reviewed 5 Starwood hotels how long it will take for my badge to be updated? I actually have 2 more I am planning to post soon.

Thanks!

Do keep in mind that in order to qualify for a badge, a review must be detailed.
