You must visit TripAdvisor, but you also better check Viewpoints!

I visit TripAdvisor before booking any hotel or planning to visit any city or attraction. It has great benefits but it also has some negatives. I suggest everyone visit TripAdvisor before any trip you plan! It's not a one-stop shop, but it does give you a lot of valuable… read full review »

TripAdvisor is a neat site that's well worth checking before you book a hotel anywhere. It has a good message board in its Forums area, and it's strong point is it's immense database of reviews. — — The downside of TripAdvisor is the same as that of most "Web 2.0" sites: basically,… read full review »

Caveat emptor, or Check this site before you book a hotel!

I first stumbled upon Trip Advisor about four years ago when I was researching hotels in New York City for a weekend getaway with my girlfriends. Now, being government employees carrying large amounts of student loan debt, we were looking for the best bargain we could get. Unfortunately, in the Big Apple, hotel bargains can sometimes result in bedbug bites. I found a great deal on a hotel, but I wanted to know up front what I'd be getting. And that was where Trip Advisor came in. I punched in the name of the hotel and located numerous reviews, written by… read full review »

I have used Trip Advisor as a research tool for about 4 years now. It's the first website I visit when I am planning a trip somewhere. The reviews are from "real" people and I have found most are very accurate. Some reviewers are travel writer "wanna be's" so you do have to take some of the reviews with a grain of salt. Trip Advisor provides reviews on hotels, restaurants and other information to most cities (world-wide). As soon as I think about going somewhere, I go to www.tripadvisor.com and type in the city and start reading the reviews. After you… read full review »

I love this website because you can get reviews from people who have stayed in the hotels they are reviewing. While any hotel will always get a few reviews that are very negative you have to remember some folks are very particular and may base their negative review on a particular problem that relates to them not the general public. You should read both the positive and negative reviews and then you can make an informed… read full review »

I LOVE this site. I'm one of those people who spends a lot of time researching places to travel and places to stay or visit when I get there, the research is part of the fun for me. Trip Advisor has become a site I visit regularly, even when I'm not traveling. It's great to hear the views and recommendations of others. Sure, you have to take some things with a grain of salt and/or decide who's speaking and whether they are likely to share your tastes, but you can read both the good and the bad here to help you make an informed choice. Best of all, you can… read full review »

Dont book a thing without taking a look at Trip Advisor

I never book a trip without going to Tripadvisor and reading reviews. That being said I do use it with a grain of salt. One woman gave the hotel a bad rating because they didn't get her luggage from the airline. Well, that's not a good enough reason to give a hotel one star to me. So use with caution. — I also really like the "traveler photos". They really show what the place looks like. My husband and I were considering doing a Sandals vacation until we went to TA and could not find ONE good thing about any of their resorts. The pictures… read full review »

Trip Advisor is the best place to start planning your trip. You get reviews from people that have stayed at the hotel and some even post pictures they took so you can get a real view instead of the photos that hotels post on their website that aren't always accurate. Trip Advisor will give you rates from quite a few websites, too. Even if you're booking a package through another website, you can search your hotel on this website and see what travelers are saying about it. I found what I thought were some great hotels in Europe, until I read the reviews and saw some of… read full review »

Relied heavily on TripAdvisor to plan a trip to Rome and Florence in November 2006. Made reservations at TripAdvisor's #1 ranked hotels in both cities. They were exactly as the reviews suggested. Both hotels and met and/or exceeded our expectations. If you take the time to read through all the reviews, you can weed out the "sour grapes" reviews and focus on the real pros & cons. We would have never selected those two hotels had we relied only on guide books. —… read full review »

Trip Advisor can be a godsend for anyone who wants real reviews on hotels, attractions, rentals and transportation for an upcoming trip.

Trip Advisor lets you virtually experience a destination before you arrive through others who have been there before.

This is the site on which to find the best hotel for the money. It is easy to navigate and these reviews are being written by real people. You have to remember that they are just opinions though. Many reviews indicate whether or not the location is good; if there are decent restaurants nearby, the parking situation, what the exercise room is like, cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, as well as other amenities. — I have used this site over and over to select hotels in a city I have not previously travelled to and thus far, I have always been happy with my… read full review »

This is a fantastic web site to look up reviews for traveling. I love the fact that it is real people giving me reviews of places, they can give me information that I probably couldn't find or ask about anywhere else. My questions about the housekeeping, the food, customer service, where is the best room, the best view, how comfy is the bed, is the place clean. All these are answered before I ever step into a hotel. It is just a wealth of information that totally easies my mind when going on vacation. They can also search… read full review »
