So you want to book a hotel
You go online and pull up your travel website of choice
You pick a hotel - you look at its cost, location, facilities. All good right!?
Then you read the reviews
Suddenly you question your choice. You want to take a tent and stay in a field.
Everything seems grim and gloomy
The hotel suddenly seems like the end of the word.
You look at other hotels
But they are all the same.
Reviews by people who have clearly never been abroad
Reviews by people who claim to travel
Bad reviews with a splash of positive ones.
Don't believe everything you read, but what to believe.
I have just had this problem. A hotel was suggested to me and I was sent its basic information. It's website looked ok. Then I went onto the travel sites to read some reviews. Suddenly I am scared about having to book a hotel in the city I am going to. Suddenly I worry if I made the right choice by having a stopover. Maybe I should just stay at the airport terminal for 2 nights.
Or, maybe I should take the risk, book the hotel and see what happens for myself. It's for 2 nights - if I hate it I am not there long, if it's good then no problem.
Next time I need to book a hotel, maybe I won't read the reviews. I will look at location, cost and facilities and use that to make an informed decision, rather than trusting other people in a virtual land
