To create the review link:

  1. Go to your listing page (e.g. via the search page)
  2. Copy the url in the address bar
  3. Add the following part to the end of the url: #Submit-Rating

The link should look like this at the end:

Share this link via the following channels:

1. Send an email to your customers

The simplest and most effective method is to regularly send an email inviting all customers to leave a review. If you send newsletters (e.g., to regular customers), you can also include a link to your review page. Combine this with a contest to further encourage your fans and followers.

2. Link on your website

You can place the above link directly on the homepage or at another suitable location on your website . You may also use the bauernhofurlaub.info logo ( link to the logo ) . This will take visitors to your website to your evaluation form with just a single click.

3. Use your social media presence

If your company is active on Facebook, Instagram , etc., you can also provide the review link there. You can include it in the general information or create a post about reviews. Link this to a contest to further encourage your fans and followers to leave a review. Of course, asking them to only leave positive reviews wouldn't be acceptable.

Is it ethical to offer rewards for reviews?

Generally, yes, but under two conditions: First, promise your guests a reward for "a review," not just for "a good review." Second, the reward should be a small token of appreciation. Participating in a contest for a review is possible and a very good example. If, however, the reward is more than a minor detail, guests might get the impression that you want to "buy" good reviews. Many guests react negatively to this, which could damage your image.

Dealing with negative or fake reviews

A negative review is nothing to be ashamed of and provides a realistic picture. No farm is perfect for 100% of its guests; therefore, negative reviews are not the end of the world. In fact, they can reinforce other people's decision to choose your holiday farm. Here are some basic tips for dealing with reviews:

  • Comment on every review! Negative comments should never go unanswered. Take every review seriously and respond briefly and concisely. Engagement counts for more than a negative review. Exception: If a review is legally relevant or offensive, please contact us!

  • Never get emotional! No matter what statement you're responding to, remain objective. Emotional reactions are usually not well received by readers.

  • Report fake reviews! Use the contact form or the "Report abuse" button to report false reviews. We continuously check for fake reviews based on several factors, but we cannot always react immediately.

All these points will help you to present yourself optimally on bauernhofurlaub.info and thus attract more guests to your holiday farm!

We wish you many satisfied guests!
