Tripadvisor

Posted by Staff in Wed. Travel Web

Most travelers know about Tripadvisor.  But just in case some of you don’t, I decided to make it the Travel Website of the Week.

Ever book a hotel and wonder….I wish I could find out what the rooms really look like and not rely on the hotels photoshopped, fresh flower filled version of what a room is?

Well Tripadvisor is the answer…the website is filled with tons of frank reviews of hotels including candid pictures that tourist take of the property.  With this website you can make an educated guess on where to stay.

The other great feature is that the website allows you to search several of the big travel search engines at once to get the best rate when booking.

And the fun does not end at hotels….there are reviews of restaurants, tourist attractions and much more.

Next time you book a trip check out tripadvisor.co

    Thanks for the info … tripadvisor is a very helpful site which I wasn’t aware of, even though I do a lot of traveling. The quantity of hotel reviews there is very impressive, and spot checking here and there, I find that the reviews tend to be pretty accurate for the places I’ve been.
