TRIPADVISOR is the Best travel website out there!!!!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I travel as much as my funds allow me too but before I pay for any trips I am on Tripadvisor like an infant is on breast milk. :-). I trust the consumer reviews and have avoided many hotels, excursions because of them. Tripadvisor breaks down your trip with the best hotels, best places to eat, best things to do. I also like how they give you a side bar of what near your hotel or some of the places you will visit. They have a "forum" section, where you can ask more specific questions and you get your answers from residents who live there or just regular repeat vacationers who are now considered experts. I have told all my family and friends and now they're on tripadvisor to assist with their ...

It is like having a friend who has been where you are going.

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

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 selection.  Since different amenities are valuable to each person, this site allows yout to look for exactly what YOU want.

 Once I have selected where I want to stay via Trip Advisor, I then move on the various travel sites such as travelocity or expedia to find the best rate.

I would recommend this site to everyone.

Trip Advisor: Good Supplement for Your Travel Planning

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

 

If you like to travel as much as I do, then you are likely the type who utilizes the internet for news and official information about your destination, activities, and the like. You probably also consult the internet before you make a selection for your place of lodging and one site to which many seasoned travelers are fully aware is Trip Advisor, a web service that specializes in reviews of different places of lodging.

 

Web Service Commentary:

 

Trip Advisor is, like its name suggests, a web service dedicated to the traveler who could use some advice on finding places to stay and things to do. This web site offers member reviews on places of lodging, restauran...

totally sucks!

Overall
Rated 1 out of 5

Anyone can write a bogus review on the tripadvisor website. It happens all the time. I know of some motel managers who write up great reviews for their own motel. I also know that there are some who have written up bad reviews to bring other motels down. Then there are the customers who claim they have stayed at your motel that never have. I have had a few of those myself. The website is like a cesspol for scammers. Tripadvisor had some terrible reviews about a resort down in Mexico. I did not know what to do because it was the only place available to stay at the time. Anyway I thought some of the reviews sounded a bit far fetched such as while guests were sleeping the resort staff...

Take It with a Grain of Salt...

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

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, most people writing the content usually don't know what they're talking about. People write reviews without bothering to see the whole picture. There's no balance to reviews, and there's no consistent standards. The end-results are often ludicrously predictable. They do make sense sometimes, but its a crap shoot. In some towns, you see the "Number 1 choice" being a low-end chain motel whose best fe...

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

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

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 information.

What Do You Find?The site has everything organized by location.  So if I search for Chicago, I'll find the city of Chicago with links to display Hotels, Attractions, Restaurants, and more.  Everything you'd possibly want to know before you go... In fact, there's even a "Know Before You Go" section where other traveler's who have been there before share their tips on how...

Won't travel without it!!!!!!!!!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I would never stay anywhere without first reading the tripadvisor reviews for it and seeing the REAL pictures taken by real travelers, not the photoshopped glamorous shots provided by the inn keepers. I have never been misled by this site, and anyone who likes to travel like I do is really taking a chance by not checking this site out first before choosing a place to stay!!! Hint, I always read the "bad" reviews first, as they are often very accurate, but of course take them with a grain of salt. If a property has 300 positive reviews, and only one bad one, then you can be sure the bad one was written by a sourpuss who would be unhappy in the best of 5 star hotels and can't be taken seriously.

I have recommended this site to many friends

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

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 see not only the photos the hotel wants you to see but the candid shots that really show you what a place looks like.  You can also ask questions on their forums.  This site is like having a lot of personal travel agents helping you.

Best site hands down for travel information!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

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 through a multitude of sites looking for the best rates, for my specific dates, and they tell you where the hotels rated on their site.  Anytime I even think of going to a hotel....Tripadvisor is the the first place I look.

do not plan a vacation without viewing this site!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Our family does not plan a vacation without scoping out everything on this site first. We check out the hotels to see the candid photos and personal experiences, and sometimes the candid photos are SO different from those we see on the hotel's website. It has changed our hotel choice so many times for that reason. Also, when we don't know where to start, but have decided we want to visit a particular city, we will look up the top ten hotels and will then know what the top choices are. The descriptions also provide insight into what there is to do nearby, whether the hotel is family friendly or not, and all kinds of other tidbits. The site is invaluable and you can't do without it!

Must See Prior To Travel

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Trip Advisor is in my top 3 websites to visit daily. When I travel the first place I look is tripadvisor.com for the candid hotel photos and reviews. It gives me a heads up of what to expect. Some may notice lots of negative reviews but what one finds negative might not be so negative for the next person. I am obsessed on what people think about hotels and read them for the heck of it even if I have never been to the hotel. For each major destination you will find a forum where you can gets lots of information and lots of up to date information from the locals. This is a must for anyone traveling for review and also for the great deals to be found here as well. Since being a member they have sent me a backsack, tshirt and luggage tag.

great resource, but sometimes hard to navigate

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

  Trip Advisor is a great website that provides a unique service to tourists, national and international. It is a large online community providing over 15 million different reviews on hotels, attractions, and tours. This kind of resource is great, and appears to be unparalleled on the web. My only real complaint lies with the website is that its format and design is not always super user friendly.

Trip-Advisor has millions of different hotels, attractions, and tours listed on its site. For Example, I can look at the 36 reviews of Grand Central Terminal and decide if going to see it on my trip is worthwhile. Trip Advisor then also lists a short description of Grand Central, its address...

A GREAT tool to do your homework before travel

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have used Trip Advisor for a few years now and my experience has been that the collective reviews of places and hotels have been spot-on.  I have traveled to Mexico quite a few times and have read other people's reviews on their experience with the hotel or resort.  When they include pictures it gives you a better picture of what you can expect.  Naturally most hotels and resorts only publish professional photos and hire professional writers to make their business stand out above the rest.  But the reality is that you need to read through the fluff and see what other people are saying.  Granted some people have higher expectations than others and will slam a perfec...

First stop when planning a trip

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

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 come back from your trip, you can log on and write your own reviews!
