I adore Tripadvisor! This site is like having a wise, omnipotent world traveler in your back pocket. There is so much terrific information on this site and it literally covers the world. AWESOME and IRREPLACEABLE Of course, you have to keep in mind that there are cheats out there gaming the system, which means a number of these reviews, both good and bad, can be fake. This means the actual rankings are often meaningless. You know, DD ranks higher than a towns beloved gourmet gem. Go to a town you know well and glance through the reviews. You'll get a good idea of what's going on. There are tons of excellent, real reviews, but you have to get used to ignoring the rankings and delving in a bit deeper.
As far as booking travel through TripAvisor, I don't use their booking links. I stopped booking hotel rooms and flights through third party sites like Expedia and Travelocity years ago. I got very tired of having a booking website middleman involved in these transactions. I'd call to cancel and have to go through the website support (nonexistent) instead of the hotel, or discover I couldn't cancel at all like a normal hotel guest would be able to. Plus I never found a booking website that offered better US TRAVEL deals than than the US hotel, airlines and car rental websites. NOTE: I have had largely negative experiences trying to directly book hotels, airlines, and car rentals when traveling in Europe. I still would not reccomend the trip advisor linked booking websites (Expedia etc), but I have used AirBnB, HomeAway, SkyScanner, and AutoEurope when traveling in Europe with great success.
So I don't do any bookings through TripAdvisor, but I CONSTANTLY lean on this site for reviews and advise. Thank you TripAdvisor for being my ever present travel buddy!
I like this site, gives me in-depth information of most destinations i visit
Everything you need when you travel, but hotel bookings are not working well.
This is one of those things that is so user friendly, I have used this many times.
Its a good starting place to find a little out about destinations
Awesome site for travel. The best resource I have found for hotels.
I found many choices for booking accommodations in North America, South America and Europe in this site.
Whether it be a stay, travel, dining, you name it you can depend on this site
Just wanted to say thanks to TripAdvisor, it is great
This has proved helpful in the past, more for the sights than the hotels for me.
Reliable review site for places to stay! I love referring to this site for feedback.

This is the 1st place I go to check out hotel reviews.
Always use it before going to a new restaurant or hotel. Never let me down.
I always have a look before booking. Rather trustworthy.
Very good resource for reviews on hotels and classification...
Great honest information
Very helpful when you want to do your own research.
Great site to visit before any trip! Won't leave home without checking with them!
