Financed by Bain Capital Ventures and led by an accomplished and experienced management team, Oyster Hotel Reviews is the first and only company dedicated to publishing objective, in-depth reviews, written by trained journalists, of the world's hotels. Oyster Hotel Reviews adheres to the highest editorial standards; it does not accept compensation or incentives from hotels, and pays for all travel expenses. Hotels cannot pay to be reviewed nor can they influence the reviews in any way. Formed in March 2008, Oyster Hotel Reviews management includes Microsoft alumni - Andy Laucius and Eytan Seidman, both formerly on Live Search (now Bing.com) - and two highly accomplished serial entrepreneurs, Ariel Charytan and Elie Seidman.
