Yes......watched it. Biggest load of rubbish I have viewed in a long time.

Clear one sided agenda.

did not feature the many premises that benefit from good reviews... instead centring on the negative, sensationalist ones.

Kept flicking between this and a few channels but agree with the above, from what i saw anyway, was really quite a very negative stance towards TA whcih i didnt understand that site is awesome and really should be viewed in a good way to all hoteliers....in the fact that it should help towards making their hotel better and better all the time thus making the more money, win win imo

We booked our hotel after reading:

http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_...ntoni_de_Portmany_Ibiza_Balearic_Islands.html


Had a fantastic set of reviews and we were very happy.

I think you need to take it all with a pinch of salt.

I did think 1 landlady made a good point that some people book into a B&B and expect a 5* hotel.

Usually book my hotels based on Trip Advisor reviews, and the reviews on here.

It's how I know to avoid GPS

It was no surprise to learn that he was bullied at school.

Trip Advisor in my opinion has allowed hotels that generally receive good reviews as an average to bump their prices to sky high levels.

Palladium Palace, PDB to name one!!

5 grand for 4 adults/ 2children in two rooms for one week next August ? (Not inc flights)

I think not.
