The Crisis / Initial State

The Initial Reputation Challenge

Prior to the peak winter international tourist season, a local competitor hotel orchestrated a smear attack against a luxury 5-star Ayurvedic healing sanctuary. Over 20 fake 1-star reviews were posted on TripAdvisor and Google Maps falsely alleging unhygienic wellness facilities and poor doctor consultations, dropping the property rating to 3.3★ and causing European wellness travel agencies to freeze direct group bookings.

TripAdvisor and Google Maps ratings depressed to 3.3★ from 24 coordinated non-guest fake reviews.
European and American wellness travel agencies flagging the property during destination safety vetting.
Over 35% drop in high-ticket 14-day and 21-day residential panchakarma package bookings.
Google search results for '[Retreat Name] reviews' highlighting negative TripAdvisor comments.
