Hotel in Hudson fines guests $500 for negative online reviews (Updated)
From Page Six:
“Please know that despite the fact that wedding couples love Hudson and our inn, your friends and families may not,†reads an online policy. “If you have booked the inn for a wedding or other type of event . . . and given us a deposit of any kind . . . there will be a $500 fine that will be deducted from your deposit for every negative review . . . placed on any internet site by anyone in your party.â€
Yikes.
Update: This story made it to the front page of reddit, and the Union Street Guest House Yelp page is now paying the price. I guess providing your customers with an actual positive experience may be the best way to keep your Yelp rating good.
