Tripadvisor.

We ( 8 of us) booked a weekend away, got back today. We got a good deal for a hotel break for my sons 40th birthday. I only looked at the reviews for this hotel after booking, I know should have looked before, 90% were quite bad, bad service, dirty rooms, poor food etc. Anyway we had a brilliant time, service good, polite staff and the rooms were perfect, clean and comfy, my only complaint was that the drinks at the bar were expensive, if I had looked at the reviews before booking I would not have booked. My question is has anyone looked at TripAdisor and been put off by the negative reviews.

Yes I have frequently.How can some of them be so contradictory. I do wonder if some people are paid to write good or bad. On the other hand, I suppose it depends what you are expecting.

I look at Tripadvisor but with a very critical approach trying to distinguish between the many false reviews and the true ones, then there are many other booking sites with reviews for the same hotels so I double check with these. Beside, I don't care if there is a very bad review for a very stupid or minor thing which doesn't make any difference for my stay (some reviews are by strange people, don't you find the same?)
