They also require more time, and most people don't bother to leave reviews anyway.

But if you're going to review, a few extra seconds shouldn't matter

It's how the "official" reviews from Marriott/Hilton/etc all work

1. Require each person to answer one specific question per listing. Yes/no/almost

2. Ask each person a different objective question, intentionally filling in the gaps.

3. After a few people, you have an objective, relatively thorough view of the house, but you've not burdened any of your users with more than one question per stay.
