I do find it amusing going down the rabbit hole of hotel reviews among other things and the it's ridiculous how much frankly obvious fraud there's going on with either individual hotels or the third party booking websites themselves.

I research properly and I do it early, and it's so obvious some of these hotels are making use of review bots to bump themselves up on the ratings and get noticed by google maps in the hopes getting suckers to book their hotel by default without checking anything properly and you realise they've done this with the negative reviews from real customers.

Also amusing are how even simply glancing on street view the apartments or hotels generally look shady as fuck. Things like they aren't clearly signposted. It's obvious it's some apartment building somebody has done up and it's a side gig of some kind, I even wonder if part of the scam is to sucker as many people as they can, rip them off, then sell the property to a bagholder after it's stopped being profitable.

Then there are the snobs who write their reviews and you can see the pompousness oozing out of the text where they're complaining about really minor shit like not having sheets immediately and a bit of shampoo not being in the dispenser when they could ask for that to be taken care of at the desk therefore low rating.
