Tripadvisor

I have used TripAdvisor for the past two years or more. Usually competitive Airline ticket prices but use caution the site you might be directed to are not always the best. Such as VAYAMA (In your best interest to avoid them.) TripAdvisor gives you a good look at prices and just as important they have insightful information available about Hotels, restaurants and things to do in the places where you are traveling.

Starting with Leida she sets our holiday journey. Watching her was a pleasure dealing with all types of visitors and her knowledge is rewarding. She goes above and beyond for everyone. The La Carts everyone was great Daniella stood out to me. Thanks Leida.
Housekeeping was special in Block 15.
Lobby staff also helpful along with the guards. Gardeners to cooks.And the food was great this year. BBQ and buffet didn't starve.
We are never disappointed there.
Been going for years at Club Kawama. Nowhere else I'd rather be.

After the traveling resumes, my account couldn't log in by Facebook.
I write in thru email but there wasn't resolution from anyone ever.

There was no longer a travel trip planner function. The reviews were out dated.
Please close down your site if there isn't anyone working anymore!

Thanks

A website with 1000's of reviews for hotels all over the world, reviewed by real people, how did we ever book a holiday before?!

No longer do you have to rely on what the brochures say, or rely on the their glossy pictures. Tripadvisor has review from peiple who have been there and customer pictures as well.

Their forums are really usefull if you need advice from people who live there. I went to Sri-Lanka and needed to find out the best way of getting from A to B, posted in their forum and a local guy came back to me with 24 hours.

What a great service. Thumbs up.

Very accurate reviews! Found this out when I visited Norway recently and I had to be checked into some hotel. I was able to find some reviews about the place and even proceeded to negotiate a good price based on the feedback!

Had issues with my booking but they left me hanging saying just deal with the provider but the provider does not want to help and tripadvisor has no number to help me. Dont use this website if you have any issues they will leave you but take your money

They profit of most of the businesses that are listed on their site and claim to have a very high standard to list your products and remove products from businesses from their Viator site and allow other businesses that rebrand with a new name the same business that had awful reviews before to start over and offer their services with lies about their destinations...
I really think that if you are looking to but a service please go directly to google and research the company and buy directly from the supplier.

I booked with Cancelon for the Superbowl 2018. I paid in advance for a room at the Hilton 10 mths ahead of time and received my confirmation. I called them every month to make sure my confirmation was still there and was reassured it was. Cancelon put me in a Comfort Inn and told me a week before I departed. It was too late for me to get a room elsewhere. They ruined my trip and birthday weekend. I will never use them again, and hope this reaches people considering uses them in the future. I contacted them several times after for a partial refund out of good faith with no response.

This site will not release any contact information of the guests until all the payments are complete.
As a remote owner with rental properties in Costa Rica, this makes it difficult to prearrange transportation, tours, and activities with the guests.
All other sites, VRBO, Airbnb, etc. release the information when the booking is made and half payment is received by them.
Another annoying negative is that this is the most difficult site to get thru to on the phone.
Overall Tripadvisor/Flipkey is the worst vacation rrental site for owners. They push their "free" listings but owners pay in not being able to provide the best service for their guests.

Booked a hotel in August for a March stay through TripAdvisor. The Strand in Myrtle Beach cancelled one day before arrival because they are doing renovations to two buildings! Called Trip Advisor for help and they said they would call and try to work it out with the hotel and never called me back. No reason to book through their site when they aren't willing to help if there is a problem.

We use this same Premier Inn several times a year and have never been dissappointed with the staff, food and accommodation. The Assistant Manager, Joey and Emma were of great assistance. Nothing was a problem to them. The evening meals are something to write about as they are of superb quailty and the breakfasts are something to die for. All are cooked to an excellent standard especially the bacon which I have found at other hotels to be undercooked. You are looked after extremely well from booking in to booking out. In all, Premier Inn is a bargain place to stay.
