Trip advisor ratings

I noticed this today too, 50sjayne. I checked a dozen or so Hotwire hotels and none of them had a TripAdvisor rating. It makes ID'ing the hotels a lot tougher!

Maybe thereuare will want to move this thread to the "Run of the House" section of the board because it's probably of general interest; not just to Orange County bidders.

It seems the trip advisor ratings have disappeared for me the last few days, is this happening to anyone else? Someone mentioned a new format somewhere else on this board- is that what happened are the trip advisor reviews somewhere else now? (for hotwire)

Hotwire's TripAdvisor stats are missing again. I haven't found TA stats today or yesterday on multiple Hotwire searches in various cities.

Just now I searched a random date, 3/16/09, in four cities---Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, and SF. I opened the first five hotel listings in each city and none of them had TA stats. 0 for 20.

Is anyone finding TA stats on their searches today?

We know there's a time lag before TA stats get updated on Hotwire. The TA ratings and number of reviews that display on Hotwire are sometimes a few weeks or months behind what TA displays on its own site. I wonder if Hotwire temporarily suspends all TA stats during a data refresh?

Hopefully Hotwire hasn't quit displaying TA stats altogether as it's difficult ID'ing hotels without them.

I noticed the same thing when I was trying to assist someone with a Hotwire hotel identification: I couldn't see the same TA information that the other person could! I tried other searches and couldn't find TA info for any other hotels. But when I did the same searches in IE (I normally use Firefox), I could see the TA info again! Perhaps this is an issue with the browser, but I'm not sure why this would suddenly start happening with Firefox.

Interesting, tilepusher.

I was using IE for all my searches. I just tried several searches with Firefox and I don't get TA stats with Firefox either.

Yesterday I tried to ID a hotel and there were no TA stats. A few hours ago someone responded that they DID see TA stats, for the same hotel and same dates. I just tried again and still no TA stats for me! Not with IE or Firefox.

If I still don't get TA stats tomorrow I'll try a different computer.

A day later.

On my laptop at home I can't see TripAdvisor stats with Explorer or Firefox. I DO see them with AOL's browser though!!

An hour later at Kinko's, on Kinko's computer, I still can't view TA stats on Explorer. I see them with Firefox at Kinko's though, and I couldn't do that at home. Kinko's doesn't have AOL loaded, so I can't try that.

I'm searching the same ten hotels for the same date with all browsers.

Does anyone have an explanation?

I cleared cookies, deleted temporary files, and now I can see TripAdvisor stats again, in all three browsers.

It's also a day later, so I don't know if it was the cookie clearing that fixed things or the passage of time.

Anyhow I'm back in business!

I had the same problem, and realized that TA is shown only for SOME of the hotels. I think HOtwire hides them when the TA ratings are poor.

I emailed hotwire and they said this:
