FT Expert Hotel Reviews Issues
Please report your Expert Hotel Review issues here.
FAQ: Why did FlyerTalk add them"Expert Hotel Review" feature?
The (FlyerTalk) website has rolled out a new hotel guide in which its members rate and review hotels from around the world. FlyerTalk “soft-launched” its Expert Hotel Reviews feature earlier this fall, but is now talking about the effort publicly for the first time.
What’s behind the effort to add hotel reviews? Tarr (Jeremy Tarr, FlyerTalk's editorial director) says such information has long been posted to FlyerTalk over the years, but it typically has come in users’ “trip reports” that have sprung out of the site's frequent-flier focused origins.
“FlyerTalk has a ton of information from a lot of expert travelers who have flown all over the world and stayed at shocking numbers of hotels,” Tarr says. “A lot of that information is often buried in the forums. We wanted to organize it into something that it is much more accessible to a broader audience.”

There was a backlog of about 2 months in putting hotel reviews in the master list, and now it looks like it's been all taken care of! ^
One minor note about the review below: loyalty program should be Marriott (not independent) and brand is Design (not AC hotels)

Any progress or news on this?

Hi
can you please have a look at this thread
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/acco...hnom-penh.html
i made 3 reviews in this thread. In the 2 1st ones, which are on page 1, I am 99.9% sure that there were some pictures but they have disappeared.
I had a similar issue in another thread that you solved very efficiently, so I hope you’ll do the same here
thank you

However I understand @Goldorak 's issue is more problematic and is about pictures disappearing from old reviews.
