TripAdvisor users are again victims of sexual assault

The travel site has also been accused of not doing enough to help women who were sexually assaulted at hotels listed on their service - or to warn others about the potential dangers.
The issue last flared up in late 2017, when rape victims found their warnings removed from TripAdvisor's site because they were not family-friendly. The company ended up apologizing and adding temporary badges next to hotels where "health, discrimination and safety" issues had been flagged up.
Now, an investigation by the Guardian has uncovered new problems with the way TripAdvisor handles such reports.
In a case reported by the British newspaper, a woman told that she was a woman, and that she was a woman.
The woman, identified only as "K," said she was astonished that the company wanted her to relive the trauma and expose herself to trolling-in the event, she reportedly did not write the review as a first-person account publish it. The resort that employed the alleged rapist apparently does not have any flag to alert people who might stay of what happened.
Another woman who spoke to the Guardian said it was "futile" to leave a review detailing her own rape at a TripAdvisor-listed report.
"They definitely should have a different kind of review system, for these types of incidences, so they're buried in with everyone's reviews about the know, the quality of the towels or the sheets. Especially if it's a safety issue, particularly for women, "she said.
