Leave 5 star reviews talking about how flatulent and creepy the staff were.
Those seem to get through the filters. I once had a review of a bagel place that employed illegals be entirely flash fiction about a conversation with the owner where he'd fingerbang his staff then dip his hand in the everything bagel spice stay at the top.of the list for month since it was a 5 star review.

Whilst travelling in Nepal about 6 years ago, I was working in a small guesthouse who was in TripAdvisor's top ten rank for that city. They called us up and asked if we wanted to upgrade the page for a fee, with the idea it would give us more control and encourage more visitors. After declining, the ranking slipped into the 30's. I haven't trusted them since.

It's basically "pay our "protection" fee, or we start posting negative reviews to tank your rating."

TripAdvisor has been shit for a long time. All the highest ranked places give you stuff for a high rating. It used to be good, but it's all fake bullshit now. The only places you can sort of trust there are things that dont' have paid admission, like parks and landmarks.
