TL;DR
Yes, some hotels do offer free perks like a massage or spa session to encourage positive reviews or smooth over complaints — but this usually doesn't reflect the actual quality of the stay.
One guest was offered a free massage and sauna session in exchange for a good review after a complaint, but she declined, gave an honest review, and was quickly ushered away
Many travelers worry before their trip because of scary reviews, but the actual experience often turns out pleasant — opinions vary widely between tourists
One couple had an electricity issue in their room that was fixed in 15 minutes; as an apology they got a free massage and the room was cleaned — conditions were much better than at a cheaper hotel they'd stayed at before
