There is no site where only truthful or only not truthful. You must filter yourself. If she writes, for example * animators darlings and sweethearts *, then this is essentially true)) only for her personally this is the most important point in the rest, and you read on. If you see that several types of dishes are listed, but it says that there was no variety, then these are ordinary show-offs. And if it’s just * the hotel is terrible * or * the hotel is beautiful. I’ll come again *., But without describing the horrors or delights, then read on and pay attention to the moments that are important to you personally.

From the pile of reviews you need to extract the information you need for yourself. First, decide what exactly is important to you, and then, while reading the reviews, compare, discard the excess, what is not important to you, and so on. For example "Oh, horror, towels are changed twice a day, but they should be at any time...-it doesn't matter to me, maybe 2 times is enough for me personally." Or animation as such is not interesting to me at all, but it is important to have a children's room (for the youngest, where she loves to draw, sculpt, etc.) Therefore, in the reviews I catch a description of the state of these rooms, the presence of toys in them, etc. Also, depending on the time when we are going, it is important that heated pools not only be declared, but also work. Nutrition is a very important point for me, especially in terms of feeding children (especially the youngest ones, they are picky with me). I try to catch the info and what is the food at the hotel, are there children's joys in the form of ice cream, and so on. In every, even the most negative review, you can find a lot of useful information about the hotel! Good luck

Personally, I also pay attention to the photo of the hotel from tourists. You can definitely see from them whether there is mold in the bathroom and how many dishes are at breakfast.

Contact real specialists for tours, and not just managers who do not care about someone else's vacation. And correctly understand yourself and formulate what you want to get for your money. And be realistic. For $200 you can't even rest on the lake for a week. And abroad for this money ... spoil your mood and throw money away. For a penny, dozens of people in a travel agency, airport, plane, hotel, etc. will not please you ... And reviews are written by children, and unclaimed eternally dissatisfied, and pensioners, and youth, and nervous, and those who think that they are all should ... - you will not see it in the review who it is.
Here a girl will fly"for adventures" in search of a hot man (she is tired of our alcoholics mate remat)... - and let's say, she won't succeed, they didn't pay attention, there was no"contact")))) - Do you know what she will write?

Here's what: "The manager at the travel agency is stupid, at the airport she was rude at check-in and gave me a bad seat, an airline with old planes, terrible food and impudent stewards, uncomfortable seats and a broken transfer bus, and the hotel is just darkness, it's impossible to live, it’s better in the country, you can’t eat food there like for cattle, I cook more at home, the Arabs are dirty and arrogant, all the louts at the reception also settled in the dump.I paid 300 dollars, and they are all like that. world. I know how. I have achieved a lot in this life - I have been working for 15 years at a factory for my uncle from paycheck to paycheck, mortgage and TV is my life, I teach everyone and be smart both at home and in the minibus "

Have a good rest and mood. Do not save on yourself and your loved ones. Relax and see the world. Be better and improve yourself. there is only one life. We spend more in stores on"chemistry ". Do not take reviews to heart and choose the vacation that you need, and not ... extras / template.

ollennka, about the photo, you are right. But only sometimes you want for some tourists for a photo, to introduce criminal liability, or at least fines. When in the heading * hotel area * there are solid close-up portraits or a nymph lying on a sunbed, and there is no territory .... And because of this, you need to scroll through not 2-3 pages of photos, but dozens, you start to think that these people in their heads.
And about the negative ones, right. if someone * very noisy evening animation and a disco, oooh horror *, then for me personally it’s +, also with towels and bedding, I don’t see the need for daily replacement.

Elenka08, I don’t agree with you about spam by sea .... by .. When people come to rest, they take pictures of their loved ones against the background of the hotel, landscapes, the sea and, accordingly, insert photos with themselves into the review, maybe there are simply no others. Few people in the hotel take special photos just for reviews. The desire to write about the hotel for many arises after arriving home.

And I began to write reviews quite recently, and before that I was little interested in them and did not write them myself. I began to write after the first unsuccessful (in my opinion, my husband and children disagree with me) trip to Greece when the youngest was only 2.5 months old and the hotel was selected for a comfortable stay with such a crumb, but since I didn’t study the reviews, the hotel didn’t met my expectations to the fullest. After that, I study and write reviews myself. But I don’t take special photos for them, everywhere they have joyful faces of children or mine and my husband :) and this is not out of a desire to show off, but because there are no others ....

On any site you can read and not read. Everywhere there are truthful and customized reviews. It is important to be able to distinguish. Well, keep in mind that any review is a subjective perception, which depends on many factors.

moy_contakt, I'm not talking about a photo where *they are loved IN THE BACKGROUND*, but about a photo, like a passport, 90% is face. And tell me why do people who want to see the territory or the room or something else related to the hotel waste time scrolling through tons of such rubbish? I also, like ollennka, take pictures of the views, and not only to add to the review, but also because you can’t do a general view with your sea ** oy, there will be only her, ** yes)) and I have her every there is a day in the mirror, but beautiful views are only 1-2 weeks before my eyes, I want to keep them for memory. You can add close-up pictures with waiters and animators to the same list, where there is nothing useful.

Well, if under 90% bad reviews, then you will inevitably wonder whether it is worth spending honestly (or not so much) earned on such a vacation. And if 50 to 50 is about, then you can already look closely. For example, I just drive in the search for the phrase "reviews for such and such a hotel " and I read everything. For quite a long travel experience, there is already a filter in my head, where is the truth, and where is the order or some offended citizen writes.

All reviews are true. Everyone has their own perception of the environment and their own values in life. Someone wants peace and tranquility and a noisy party hotel is hell for him, while someone, on the contrary, is completely delighted.
Just decide what exactly you want and carefully read the reviews, what is praised and what (and this is especially important!) is scolded.

The first thing I usually do is look at the overall rating of the hotel on various websites. Then I read reviews to filter out information that is useful to me. Usually I read the last 5-6 + necessarily negative ones. They are usually the most informative.))) Here, for example, a young couple and a family with a child write about the same hotel, First: "The hotel is terrible, in neighboring hotels there is music until the morning, and here at 24-00 everything fell silent and silence ... There is nothing to do, it’s completely rotten ... " Second:" The hotel is terrible, until 24-00 the music rumbles that prevents the child from sleeping, This is a complete disgrace and ... blah blah blah " . For myself, I conclude: a normal average hotel. Likewise for nutrition. If someone lowers the score for not having ayran or enough milk porridge, I just skip it, because. I don't use either one.

Or here. Take the hotel Limak Limra. A wonderful hotel in a wonderful location. But from the latest food reviews, we can conclude that the hotel has reoriented to the domestic market, there are many Turkish families, most of the dishes with a lot of spices. Administration does not respond to complaints. For me, this is fundamentally important, because. I'm very selective about spices. In this hotel with all its general merits, I will not go. Well, this is so ... for example. Everyone has their own tastes. Sometimes, after reading a negative review, you can conclude for yourself that the hotel is very good and vice versa.))) So, as advised above, filter the information and isolate the aspects that are important for you.

Here you can’t talk about other sites with tourist impressions.
But if even on the most famous review sites you can write a review about a place that you have not even been to, then there is one VERY famous site where you can write a review only by booking a hotel through their booking system. That's what it's called - Booking)))).
Apart from the desperate resort owners who go to the trouble of creating a fake account with the cheapest room reservation that no one checked into (maybe 1% of the total), all the reviews there are reviews of people who clearly crossed the reception line.
Seek and you will find

I check hotel reviews on Booking.com.
Only people who paid and lived in this hotel have the right to write there, respectively, there are no (or almost no) customized reviews.
There are also reviews from the English-speaking audience, which, in my opinion, is much more objective than ours. We have some mother from Uryupinsk going abroad and she won’t add up the price for herself - everything is wrong with her, there are 50 types of hawks but there’s nothing to choose, there are no coolers on the floors, animators for children are not like that, they didn’t kiss the baby in the ass (she wouldn’t allow , of course, but they didn't even offer, dirty brutes :) ) in general, more than 50% of the reviews - "I'm all such a queen, I came here and it's designed for commoners ". You will read such a show-off self-exhibition, and an inexperienced reader will believe, will not go and miss the normal option.
The English-speaking level of empty, unsupported show-offs is an order of magnitude smaller.

Let's sum up some results.
Two main categories of problematic reviews are named - custom-made and inadequate (we'll call it that).
The first category is, in fact, conditionally problematic. Normal independent moderation will not miss the massive flow of custom reviews. There are many signs - duplicate IPs, "wrong" IPs, unverified addresses, characteristic texts and photos, maximum ratings, profiles created on the principle of "just write a review" and a few more not so obvious parameters that are visible to moderation. A hotelier can write a "correct" review. But it is simply unrealistic to write many such reviews. And I personally would calmly go to a hotel whose representative could write at least one review about my hotel, like a real tourist.
The second problem is more relevant. They are written by those who actually visited the hotel. And here, as already mentioned, indeed, everyone has their own truth. This is a problem for all sites, regardless of how they work. Including for booking.

An incident that happened to us. We posted a rather large NEGATIVE review about a good Turkish hotel. Everything is bad - service, food, rooms. With examples and arguments. It was the beginning of the season, and at the beginning of the season, all Turkish hotels start life from scratch, especially those that did not work in winter.
But there was one caveat. The reviewer is a woman. In one of the paragraphs of the review, she complained about the theft of jewelry from the safe. But it was only one paragraph (we just don't post complaints). The next day we receive a letter of support. The author writes that she found jewelry in a suitcase, where she shifted them for safety and forgot about it. We removed the review and she immediately posted a POSITIVE review. Everything is good - service, food, rooms. And again with examples and arguments.
Therefore, you need to be able to read reviews and watch the ratings of authors. For example, we trust ollennka's opinion 100%.
