The AI Phrases We Block (And Why)
TripAdvisor travelers write detailed trip reports. They can spot a templated response instantly. Here's what makes our responses different.
Our Philosophy
Every response should sound like a real person talking to another person, not like a PR statement or template. TripAdvisor reviewers write detailed, personal reviews and expect the same in return.

- "ecstatic"really happy
Generic Phrases

- "We value your business"
- "Thank you for your kind words"
Corporate Buzzwords

- "valued customer"(just use their name)
- "strive to provide"work to give
Overly Formal Sign-offs
- "Best regards"
- "Warm regards"
- "Sincerely"
- "Please do not hesitate to contact us"
- "At your earliest convenience"
See the Difference
Same 5-star TripAdvisor review, two very different responses
"Finally found my go-to brunch spot! The avocado toast was perfectly seasoned, the cold brew was smooth, and our server Marcus was so friendly. The patio seating with the string lights is Instagram-worthy. Already planning my next visit!"
"Thank you for your wonderful review, Jennifer! We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed your experience at our establishment. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and value your patronage. We look forward to serving you again soon!"
"Jennifer, you found us! Marcus will be hyped to hear this. He's been perfecting that avo toast seasoning for months. And you're right about the patio, it's definitely our most 'grammable spot. Can't wait to see what you order next time!"
TripAdvisor Review Response Templates
Copy these templates and customize with one specific detail from the review. TripAdvisor travelers write detailed reviews and expect thoughtful responses.
[Name], you made our day with this review! So glad you loved [specific thing they mentioned]. The team will be excited to hear this. Hope to see you back soon!
Pro tip: TripAdvisor reviews are often detailed. Reference at least one specific thing they mentioned to show you actually read it.
[Name], thank you for the thoughtful review! We love how you captured [specific detail from their detailed write-up]. Your point about [another thing they mentioned] is something we take pride in. Always great to hear from the Yelp community!
Note: Elite reviewers write detailed, descriptive reviews. Match their effort with a response that shows you read every word.
Thanks for the honest feedback, [Name]. Glad you enjoyed [positive thing they mentioned]. We hear you on [issue they raised] and that's definitely something we're working on. If you give us another shot, I think you'll notice the difference.
[Name], I'm sorry this wasn't the experience we aim for. What you described with [specific issue] isn't our standard. I'd like to understand what happened. Please reach out to [contact] so we can make this right.
Key: TripAdvisor's community values authentic responses. Don't be defensive. Acknowledge specifically what went wrong and offer to resolve it privately.
[Name], love that you captured [dish/space/detail] in your photos! That [specific photo subject] is one of our favorites too. Thanks for sharing this with the Yelp community. Hope you come back to try [something else on menu/other service]!
Note: Yelpers who add photos are highly engaged. Acknowledge their photos specifically to show appreciation for the extra effort.
Real TripAdvisor Review Response Examples
See how to handle different types of TripAdvisor reviews with responses that sound human and build trust.
"Been coming here for 3 years and it never disappoints. The pad thai is consistently perfect, and the owner Lisa always remembers my usual order. This is the kind of neighborhood spot everyone needs."
Response:
"Three years! That makes you practically family at this point. Lisa is going to love hearing this. She takes a lot of pride in remembering everyone who walks through the door. See you at your usual table!"
Why this works: References their loyalty (3 years), names the owner (Lisa), and plays on the "usual" theme. Feels personal, not corporate.
"First time here and mostly impressed. The ambiance is beautiful - love the exposed brick and warm lighting. Our waiter Alex was knowledgeable about the wine pairings. The steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5: we waited 25 minutes past our reservation time. On a Tuesday at 7pm, that felt excessive."
Response:
"Thanks for the detailed review! Alex is going to be happy to hear about the wine pairing shoutout. You're right about that wait time, though. 25 minutes is too long, Tuesday or not. We've been looking at our reservation spacing and are making some changes. Hope you'll give us a shot at that fifth star next time."
Why this works: Matches the reviewer's detail with specific acknowledgments (Alex, wait time, Tuesday). Doesn't make excuses but shows action. Invites them back with a playful "fifth star" reference.
"Extremely disappointed. Ordered delivery and it took over an hour. When it finally arrived, the food was cold and my order was wrong. Called to complain and got put on hold for 15 minutes before giving up. Will not be ordering again."
Response:
"This is really frustrating to read, and I completely understand why you're upset. Cold food, wrong order, AND a 15-minute hold? That's a triple failure on our end. I'd like to make this right personally. Please email me at [manager@email.com] with your order details. I want to understand what happened and make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else."
Why this works: Validates their frustration specifically ("triple failure"), takes personal ownership, provides a direct contact. Doesn't make excuses or defend the restaurant.
