Anybody else do Trip Advisor reviews?

[biggs682]

I started to do reviews on trip advisor and was just wondering if anyone else from cc does them as well

 

[DaveReading]

I've done a few, mostly positive, some not so.

It's interesting to see the response, if any, that a review produces.

 

[Spinney]

I do if I have really liked the place, or really disliked it! (e.g. rude staff etc).
I do think some poor reviews are unfair when they are of things that could have been sorted out at the time if the customer had said something, but some people seem to prefer to leave in a huff then post on the internet instead of just asking for a replacement meal or whatever.

I do, but work from a sheet used when I'm doing paid for reviews as a secret shopper.

 

[postman]

Yes i do.Mostly after holidays.Got to say most of mine are positive,so readers can have the same enjoyment as me.No good missing out on a good hotel or restaurant when you only have two weeks away.Orlando got a big thumbs up from me this year.

Not often but I am about to do one.
Went to the wirral for an early morning walk and planned to eat at a small pub that overlooks the Dee estuary. I realised it was "dog friendly" and when we got there (12:30ish) there were indeed 2 dogs.
Ordered our food and in the 30 minutes it took to arrive the place was heaving with dogs.......smelly & VERY noisy.
I think others should be aware.
Lovely pub....good food....but if you are not a doggy person steer clear.

Yep...apparently I'm in the top 3% of reviewers in the Manchester area or summat

I only review stuff that's really good, really bad or I can give some (hopefully) useful information. If something was "OK" and I wouldn't particularly recommend it or advise to steer clear I don't bother. I use TripAdvisor a lot to select stuff and it has been very successful so it seems only fair that I give as much as I take

 

[mjr]

Yes but only when I think the hotel/restaurant owner won't identify me, because I'll leave an honest review, good or bad or in between and I don't want it to influence how they treat me personally. The exception I guess is when it's a stinking review and I am sure I'm never using them again. So far that's only been one bike hire place.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Yes.

 

[AndyRM]

SophRM did one once and unfortunately we were pretty identifiable by what she'd written of our poor experience. The owners of the establishment harassed us for about a week until we finally got fed up, told them to f*ck off and that if they had an issue with anything written we'd be happy to discuss the matter with legal representation. Didn't hear a peep from them after that.

 

[steve50]

Yes I do, the worst being about York minster.

 

[Saluki]

I do, only when I've really liked somewhere. I can't be doing with the vitriol that I see on there. Say something nice or nothing at all.

 

[John the Monkey]

Yes, but only once, for a fabulous place we stayed at in the Champagne region.

 

[TheDoctor]

I do. I've only once felt the need to leave a bad review.
