Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Saigon River rises near Phum Daugn in south east Cambodia and flows 230 km to the South China Sea, passing through Ho Chi Minh City as it does so.
The river is important to HCMC because it forms part of its water supply, and is also the home of Saigon Port, with a total cargo volume of nearly 40 million metric tons a year.
There are Saigon River boat tours, but you do not have to pay money to enjoy this river. Take a leisurely stroll along the broad boulevard pavement of Ton Duc Thang Avenue on the eastern side of HCMC and you can enjoy the river and the landmark buildings that dot the other side of the road, such as the impressive Majestic Hotel, a legacy of the French colonial era.
Since 2011 there has been a bridge under the river, called the Thiem Tunnel, which is the longest cross-river tunnel in South East Asia.
