Trip Advisor woes
« on: January 06, 2012, 09:26:20 AM »
Trying to book a hotel in Worstershire for tomorrow and check the reviews on TA. What to believe. Most say my chosen place is nice, but then you come to the inevitable review which alludes to the live caterpillar in the salad  evil:

Regardless of the place there will always be someone that didn't enjoy it and will write a negative review. Difficult to believe but some people are just bloody miserable . That's not to say some of these won't be justified though.

Just look at the reviews from the past couple of months or so, and don't go for anything that scores less than 4 out of 5. It's always worked for me, apart from one occasion.

As for the caterpillar, you may be in need of some protein  whistle:

If you want a good nights sleep then don't stay here!
They call themselves a hotel but we could not get a drink after the bar had shut at normal pub hours. Then to make things worse we had to listen to the extremely loud noise of the priviledged few (who were allowed to be in the bar) until 1.40am
on both nights of our stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we had been able to rest, then the little niggles such as the hairdryer with no fuse and the shower tray that filled to the brim after about a minute would not have mattered so much!!
