: Re: Including incidental personal traits in a review When you write an online review (for instance, of a restaurant) is it appropriate to include information about the hosts that isn't directly related

Let's consider this from three different perspectives:

1) What is the purpose of a review? To provide information about a service or product. From that point of view, I would not include information about the host or provider that isn't relevant to your experience of the service or product.

2) What do you owe the hosts? As you mentioned, it isn't your job to protect them. If they have chosen to provide this service, and if they elected not to mention their disabilities in the service description, it means they don't have any expectation that the people they host need to know that fact ahead of time.

3) What do you owe potential guests? You owe potential guests a fair, honest, and useful depiction of the service or product. It isn't your job to protect them from their own potential prejudices.

So, in my opinion, the conclusion is clear. Review the meal, and leave the hosts' personal characteristics out of it, unless those either negatively or positively impacted your experience in some significant and relevant way.
