Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the importance of the role of the reader when critically assessing online hotel reviews written in English. The reviews, written in an informative style, comprise countable constituents (parts of speech) tagged as parameters in numerous research papers for authenticity grading. However, in papers published until the present, the bulky corpora of hotel reviews online, cross-referenced with reviews corpora written by volunteers, have been presented and analysed on the basis of the presence of linguistic content for which various opposing research results have been presented by means of stylometry. In this paper, we present conclusions based on a micro-corpus of 160 authentic positive and negative online hotel reviews online abundant in ellipsis and analyzed by means of Review Sceptic. According to this analysis, both positive and negative reviews are marked as authentic. Therefore, it is proposed in this paper that ellipsis may also be considered a parameter of authenticity which the linguistic content tools cannot fully retrieve.
