Google is no longer able to stream in reviews from TripAdvisor to Places pages after the user review giant blocked it.<\/p>\n

TripAdvisor confirmed the move today in an email, stating that while it continues to evaluate recent changes to Google Places it believes the user does not benefit with the \u201cexperience of selecting the right hotel\u201d.<\/p>\n
