Yelp Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is significantly marred by widespread customer dissatisfaction, primarily concerning its review management practices and aggressive advertising tactics. Many users express frustration over hidden reviews, perceived extortion for advertising, and a lack of genuine customer support. Positive aspects are scarce, with some customers appreciating the platform's potential for connecting with local businesses. However, the overwhelming sentiment reveals a distrust in the company's ethics and practices, leading to calls for accountability and transparency. Overall, the feedback indicates a critical need for Yelp to address these serious concerns to rebuild trust among its users.

Get it together!
April 29, 2016

For the third time., attempted to visit Blue Valley Winery today. And again, info on the web site incorrect. Not open! Why have a website and not keep it accurate? I'm not about to attempt another visit any time soon, if at all, until there is some indication they've gotten they're act together.

Extortionist
April 28, 2016

Yelp is nothing more than an internet mafia. This company only displays negative reviews, they hide the positive reviews unless the company being reviewed pays them. This is the definition of extortion. Its disgusting and there is a class action law suit against them.

Very difficult to go through the review process for a business. Makes it NOT worth the time. Needs to be much easer or I will not bother to do it.

I invited a caterer I found on Yelp to cater an event. Some of the food was great, some not so much. The caterer agreed to return $100, as it was clear that what was promised was not completely fulfilled. My attention was elsewhere when they left, and I did not get a chance to tip the servers (who did a great job!). I asked the owner to give our refund to his staff, so if any of you are reading this, ask your boss about it.

Website for whiners
April 26, 2016

Yelp is predominately a site for whiners! A business can have thousands of satisfied customers, yet it is the few customers with a percieved unsatisfying experience who will take the time to post a review. Drop your paid yelp account and see how quickly your good reviews get hidden. Even if a review contains false and slanderous statements, yelp will not remove.

I rely on a daily basis on Yelp for solid, honest reviews about every meal that we decide to eat out. Never has Yelp led us astray, and many times, it's introduced us to places that we never even knew existed. I'm consistently impressed by all the little hole-in-the-wall restaurant gems that Yelp leads us to!

Provide a good site to learn about others' experiences when considering a first visit. Also appreciate being able to post both negative & positive reviews after a visit to a new place.

My reviews on Yelp have been challenged every single day by the business. My original review took near an hour to write & was an extensive honest account of the nightmare that's taken over my husband & my life for last several months. Everything I stated was real life facts which actually occurred. After the 1st removal, I re-read the regulations, edited a few names used, took out any remarks of the biz not being ethical (smh!) & reposted. This then went on to occurs 5 more times, daily. My very last account simply said in ONE SENTENCE, I had zero respect as the business had Yelp take down my reviews & shame on the both of them! How could they remove that?!?! I USED TO LOVE YELP! BUT THEY'VE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT IF THE BIZ GREASES THEIR HAND, THEY WILL REMOVE ALL BAD REVIEWS! SHAMEFUL! Yelp's reasons for removing the last 4 reviews, which were perfectly compliant, was that I never shopped at that location! HTF do they know that?!? & when do you need to show a receipt to post a review?!?!?! YELP IS BIASED & UNFAIR! Shame on you Yelp! SHAME!

Tropical farm tour
April 4, 2016

On the big Island, Hawaii. We took this tour of two tropical fruit/coffee farms. One in morning with fruit tasting and one after lunch. Very interesting and informative. Tour leader was Nate Hayward; very knowledgable and thoroughly pleasant guy. Don't miss this.

I'm completely satisfied with the full roof replacement of my home performed by JC&C Roofing in February of 2016. Mr. Hernandez provided thorough preparation for the start of repairs and followed through with a timely completion. The JC&C roofing team showed up on time and worked steady and efficient all day. This was a major roof repair and my expectation was somewhat low. Mr. Hernandez put all my concerns to rest providing a step by step outline of all repair work. This was given in written form which I could study as he walked me though it all. I highly recommend JC&C Roofing for home repairs.

Yelp.com in my opinion is a huge waste of money when it comes to advertising. They will make you all kinds of promises to get you to sign that contract. Then, you're pretty much on your own. They'll continue to tell you, " You need to do this" or "You need to do that", News Flash, that's what I'm paying you for. Why pay some company $400+ a month when they want you to do most of the work? All I got was a few people comparing prices. It was a huge waste of money. Also, by the time you figure out it doesn't work and are ready to bail on them, they hit you with that buyout clause in the contract. Another $700+ on top of the money you've already flushed down the toilet. My advice would be to look for an advertising medium that doesn't have a buyout. If they have a buyout, it probably doesn't work anyway and that's how they suck that last few drops of blood outta you. Take my advice, they already got me for a sack full of cash and it's not over yet.

The delivery personnel for Mor Furniture for Less, while delivering a headboard, knocked a huge hole in the wall, scratched & dented adjacent hallway & ripped the headboard. Was notified immediately; was told it would be resolved in 2 wks. After numerous unreturned calls,
Was told it was not their responsibility- to contact delivery company. After several callsl were made to HomeDeliveryLink & no response and again calling Mor Furn. Headquarters (3 months later), and still no response, I am filing a formal complaint. BEWARE!
