Method 1 Method 1 of 2: On Desktop

1 Open TripAdvisor. Go to https://www.tripadvisor.com/ in your computer's web browser. This will open the TripAdvisor main page.
- If you aren't logged into your TripAdvisor account, you'll need to log in before you can leave a review: click the person-shaped icon at the top of the screen, select a sign-in option, and enter your login information when prompted.
2 Click the "Search" icon . It's in the top-right corner of the page. Doing so opens a toolbar at the top of the page.
3 Search for a location. Type in the name of the place you want to review, then click the "in" text box and type in the geographical location of the place.
4 Click Search. It's to the right of the "in" text box. Doing so searches for your location.
5 Select a location. Click the title of the location you want to review.
6 Scroll down to the "Reviews" section. You'll find this about three-quarters of the way down the page.
7 Click Write a Review. It's in the "Reviews" section. Doing so opens the review form.
8 Rate the location. At the top of the page, click the circle which corresponds with the rating you want to give. Ratings are on a scale of one to five starting from left to right.
- For example, clicking the right-most circle here will apply a 5/5 rating, while clicking the left-most circle will apply a 1/5 rating.
9 Add a title. Click the "Title of your review" text box, then enter a review title.

10 Enter your review. Click the "Your review" text box, then type in your review as needed.
- Keep your review relatively short by focusing on the parts of the trip which stood out to you.
- If necessary, provide context to inform your review position. For example, if you found that the food at a restaurant was bland, noting that you don't usually mind bland food (if true) helps justify your complaint.

- For example, if you visited the location with a partner, you might click the Couples option here.
12 Select a visit date. Click the drop-down box below the "When did you visit?" heading, then click the date that best describes when you visited the location.

13 Fill out the optional survey if you like. The questions in the "Could you say a little more about it?" section are all optional; to answer them, click the answer you think is best below each question.
14 Add a photo if necessary. If you have a photo you want to add to your review, scroll down to the "Do you have photos to share?" section, then do the following:
