TripAdvisor Review

i have been using tripadvisor to help plan my trips for the past 2-3 years & I don't know what I would do with out it! It is such a helpful resource especially since all the reviews come from other travelers and not from the hotel or tourism industry.

We planned our honeymoon to Costa Rica solely using this website for refrences on where to stay how to plan our itinerary and how to get around the country. The traveller's forum is an abundant wealth of resource! And they have almost anywhere you want to visit on their site! Oh and the photos people post really help us make an informed decision about which hotels to choose, because alot of times the hotel website looks completely different than what you actually get!

The only drawback is that if an accommodation is new, there may not be a posting on it & it may not even be acknowledged by the site itself. This happened with a recent stay of ours in Luang Prabang at a wonderful guesthouse call CHannoune GH, but I could not find it on tripadvisor to write up a review. We chose this GH at the recommendation of a friend of ours.

All in all though, I always recommend this site to any friends who are planning their own travels.
