posting of tour reviews

Has anyone else provided a post-tour review to RS, but not had it appear on the Reviews page. It's been two months since I submitted mine and it's still not posted. Many people who took the tour after I did have had their's posted.

Just curious.

I know there is a place to choose if you want it displayed or not. Any chance you chose to not display?

I have taken 16 RS tours and have been told that RS reads all of the reviews. Believe that or not. However, given the huge number of tour members who fill out reviews, myself included, I seriously doubt if RS has the time nor capacity on line to publish all of the reviews. I only hope that the ones that are published are representative of all of the reviews received. I have read some negative reviews so that I know that they are not all edited out.

They used to all post a couple weeks after the end of the time frame to post. I'm not sure now as it seems there are very few from most of the tours that show up.

On my Greece tour I noticed that some reviews from my departure were posted in a few weeks and mine didn't post until much later. I assumed they were just behind. It did eventually post.

I've had a couple that took about 5 or 6 weeks to post, as I recall.

David,

This is the review questionnaire that is sent to you after completing a RS tour. You do it online and answer several questions if you want. Excerpts are posted in the "Our Tours" section under the relevant tour.

I actually PM'd the webmaster a couple of weeks ago as I noted there were no new reviews for some tours I was looking at. I think the last posted were mid-June or something like that. I also remembered that a few years ago there was some kind of computer glitch that prevented them from being loaded so wanted to make sure that wasn't happening.

I received a prompt reply and the Webmaster indicated some areas are just behind in getting the reviews loaded.

It is odd that more recent ones are posted so I would probably contact the Webmaster to ask about it.

I’ve had my positive 5 star review taken down in past years. Their system certainly has glitches at times.

My last tour my review was never posted. I think there are so many more people traveling they can’t post them all. I also really miss the old format where you really learned a lot more about the tours vs the very short same more or less replies.
