Multiple sources of reviews for the same product or service (e.g. hotels, restaurants, clinics, hair saloon, etc.) are utilized to provide a trustworthiness score. Such a score can clearly identify hotels with evidence of review manipulation, omission and fakery and provide the user with a comprehensive understanding of the reviews of a product or establishment. Three types of information are used in computing the score: spatial, temporal and network or graph-based. The information is blended to produce a representative set of features that can reliably produce the trustworthiness score. The invention is self-adapting to new reviews and sites. The invention also includes a validation mechanism by crowd-sourcing and fake review generation to ensure reliability and trustworthiness of the scoring.
