Tripadvisor is not connected — nothing has been read from it, so it shows no reviews rather than zero reviews. No review platform has given us credentials yet; their reviews here arrived as a CSV export. 64 notes came from the group's own feedback form, shown unsigned as “Our own form”.

Each one is a guess about who a review is thanking, with the words it matched on. Confirm it and it counts on the board. Reject it and it never does.

The staff board

Confirmed credits only. 57 attributions are still waiting to be confirmed and are not counted here. A credit nobody confirmed is a guess, and a guess should never settle who won the month.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. The board fills in as the queue above is worked through.

Worth a look

Patterns in the reviews themselves, put in front of a person to read. None of this is an accusation and none of it touches anyone’s standing. Read the reviews side by side and decide what it is.
