An another metric coming after the comments’ number is the quality of comments. The most important factor used as base on Tripadvisor is the travellers’ comments. The more a traveller has comments, the more quality his/her comments are accepted as. In terms of their sensitivity about experiences and comments, users with more comments affect rankings more.
