Bought or even created by artificial intelligence: Not every travel review is genuine. For example, a supposed guest complained about a high garage price, although the hotel doesn't even have a garage. An expert explains how to recognize fake reviews.

"Top service, nice staff, good food and clean rooms" - according to the online review, this hotel seems highly recommended. But beware! Not every review on the internet is genuine, some are not even written by a human being.
