Trump International Hotel becomes target of 1-star "shithole" ratings on Yelp
The consumer-written Yelp page for the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., was swamped with so many fake, one-star reviews calling it a "shithole" that it's rating dropped from its usual four- or five-star rating, according to the Washingtonian.
On Monday, it had a two-star rating.
Though the fake "shithole" reviews on Yelp took a toll on the Washington hotel's ratings, the Washingtonian said they are unlikely to cause permanent harm because Yelp monitors pages of businesses that pop up in the news.
Pages for Trump hotels currently have this notice posted: "This business is being monitored by Yelp's Support team for content related to media reports."
