It seems that quite a few people have complained about Tripadvisor recently. But as regular city travellers, my wife and I have used it many times. I would say that is has spared us disappointment many times and even saved us some money.
Whenever we go on a trip, we check the website for hotels and restaurants. While some of the reviews are obviously dubious, you get a good sense from browsing through a few of them to pick up trends and tips. Over Easter, for example, we went to Rome and stayed in a marvellous room in a small hotel right next to Fontana die Trevi – but only because we knew what to ask for when we made the reservation.
So take it with a grain of salt, but otherwise it’s simply enjoyable to to plan a trip by reading other people’s comments!
