"Google seems to have a bug that prevents searchers from leaving hotel reviews directly in the Google Search desktop interface. It works fine within Google Maps and Hotel search interfaces but not in the web search interface. It shows a notice that reads, "Posting is currently turned off." Here is a screenshot for [ New York Marriott Marquis]: This is a feature, but it seems like a bug."
"When you click on details, it shows, "Posting is currently turned off for this type of place. Some types of places are more likely to receive posts, like reviews, that violate Google's policies. To prevent this, Google has turned off posting." But again, it seems to be occuring for all hotels in the web search interface."
"No Idea - appears to be Global. Has to be a bug- Tim Capper (@GuideTwit) January 12, 2026"
The Google Search desktop interface is preventing users from submitting hotel reviews while Google Maps and Hotel search interfaces continue to accept reviews. The web search results display a notice reading "Posting is currently turned off." The details pane explains that posting is disabled for this type of place because some place types are more likely to receive posts that violate Google's policies, and posting has been turned off to prevent that. The restriction appears across hotel listings in the web search interface and behaves like an unintended, widespread issue affecting desktop search results.
