Do Albergues / Hotel or Casa Rural owners have access to this forum

[Thornley]

On the Le Puy route i have friends who are based after Cahors who watch every word said about their Gites and have helped pilgrims on this forum.
Recently i have been told that Albergue owners on CF do not have assess to reply to comments made on this forum.
Is this true?
Do owners who **reply ** to comments made on Tripadvisor or like wise have NO access to this forum ?
Or are they barred as Business owners ?
This question relates to a subject on Bad Albergues.
In fact the Bad Albergue /Casa was over 40 euros /night [ private or communal rooms ]
Is an OP wrong when paying over 45 euros a night in have a negative opinion on a property ?
Remember the Owner has replied to others on another forum.
Is the OP being unfair ?

There are several business owners who are members and who participate with helpful advice and information and just join in like the rest of us so I think whoever is giving you your information is misleading you.
