Thickos on TripAdvisor

[bupcakesandcunting]

I usually check reviews about places on Trip Advisor before booking a holiday. I've been having a snoop round this morning for a holiday and went onto Trip Advisor to read the reviews and honestly, some of them look like they've been written by a bear mashing his paws into the keyboard and hitting "send"...

AIBU to disregard reviews by people who moan that "nobode understand ENGLISH" "no chips/salad just greek food" "wayter rude" or should I be giving them the same attention as the others?

At least the Italian prostitutes have the decency to wipe themselves down after a little sojourn in the bushes. Different gravy.

I can't remember which hotel it was, but it was one in London. The reviewer was going on about the mafia trying to break into their room first thing in the morning. From the way they described what had happened I couldn't help thinking 'Er, that would have been housekeeping, love'.

o.k off to the pool now for some seriouse sunbathing, not too bad, good clean pool area , and pool, poolside bar , same drinks , fanta, coke, beer, or the cocktail of the day, and as many cigarettes as you could smoke , I dont smoke , my wife ,and boy does'nt , but we all did most of the day by the pool , as everyone around us was , so we just had to passively join in, great , we were like kippers at the end of day, well smoked.

Free fags? Where is this place?!?!

I am not sure about the whole prostitutes in chairs thing

On the one hand it shows forward planning but on the other, a shocking lack of enthusiasm.

Lazy prossies. Not on. I like my holiday prossies to have a bit of gumption, like that dille.

I am crying with laughter and the dog is worried about me.

Soupdragon you have a moral duty to name and shame the suicide hotel, then we can avoid at all costs.

From review titled 'Treated like scum'

...we were 14 guys from England on a stag doo....We had all had breakfast and were drinking by the pool. There was another large group of English lads who had just arrived that morning (also on a stag doo) who were also getting the beers in. The 2 groups started to integrate a little and so after a while there was a rather large group of lads getting drunk together, in good humour. No abuse was directed at staff or any other guests, we were all just in good spirits getting drunk in the sun.
A football was flying around at one point, but once told off regarding this, it was put away. There was a wee bit of football chanting, which I know can sound a bit intimidating to others, but like with the football, if told to stop, we would've done. One guy from our group DID get naked at one point and jumped in the pool, but that was the worst thing that happened and once we told him to sort it out, he did....

Police were called and the stag 'doo' were eventually escorted to their rooms and then out of the hotel - review ends with

....Never before have I been so humiliated!
I know the English don't have the best repuation abroad, but the treatment we received at this hotel was as if we were animals!.

Really must stop looking at these and go and doo something

There was a wee bit of football chanting

God, most other people are complaining of no music round the pool. Can't please some people

I know. Who wouldn't want nearly 30 drunk men singing football chants at their hotel? Particularly when they start stripping naked and jumping in the pool. At breakfast

I can't decide between that holiday and the turkey and tinsel at Pontins.

Judging by the other reviews I am beginning to think the stag doo was treated a bit harshly -

..If you are a fimily group DO NOT CONSIDER THIS HOTEL. other behaviour observed was several drunk individauls playing with themselves naked over the balcony at 6pm in the evening,

STOP it Dillie, I mean Hully. I'm at work. I shouldn't be sniggering this much

@ yonker

It's a sorry state of affairs when the blokes on the balcony are showing more gumption than the idle hookers.

I wouldn't go there.

At 6 PM. How terribly gauche.

Had to do some work - but ooooh I want to stay here:

"Stayed here for a couple of nights and the main hotel is good but the surrounding area and apartment blocks should be avoided. Our apartment block doubled up at a Moldovian Embassy in the daytime. The gardens out the front of our hotel doubled up as a hobo-hangout come the evening....there were about 10 homeless looking men fighting and drinking JB Whiskey from brown paper bags. Very nice. It rained on the Saturday night so they all came and sat in our unmanned reception area with the stray cats"

(I quite like JB Whiskey)

"Went on a hen weekend - apartments ok but full of drunken english stag and hen parties.

Not somewhere I'd recommend - especially not for children as some of the antics by the pool were entirely inappropriate and not behaviour I'd like my children to see."

"I would'nt have anything to eat because the food did not look very appertising. also they are up a steep hill which is not very convenient when you have been in the wooky until 2 in the morning"

In the wooky?????

Gang-bangers?!

[falls of chair onto floor crying with laughter]

Oh gawd, I missed "in the wooky"

[Considers ROFLing but is, in fact already rolling on the floor]

I want to know what a wooky is?

"What a very depressing day trip. Not what I go on vacation for."

(Optional day trip to Death Railway, Thailand.)

You don't say....

Being in a hen party and complaining about the accomodation being full of hen parties? Erm, pot, kettle?

Maybe she means wookie and shes been taking Chewie up the arse all evening.

Sorry. Still snorting tea everywhere and muttering "in the wooky".

Can't move on....
