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.

Most Beautifull theatre in Recife, perhaps Brasil

Apr 2014 • Solo

The 'Teatro de Santa Isabel' is located in Recife antigo.

This means it's easily reachable by all means of transportation. People traveling to Recife and want a cultural experience, I suggest them to ask there hotel if there is anything happening in the Teatro.

I was lucky enough to randomly walk past the museum and there was a free classical music performance by the best students of Brasil. Magic!
