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?

I dunno Shirl, I like a bit of rubber of a morning

There are two employees that dress up like flinstones and smash clubs off the ground next to sleeping guests as a joke. People were getting quite upset with this.

God, some people just don't know how to enjoy themselves.

Ah, Hully - you have found the tripadvisor blog - I rather liked the flinstones one too!

Hello!

I love TripAdvisor and use your site frequently.

Unfortunately, it appears that you are not immune to such tomfoolery that it one of the main factors driving healthcare costs and that will hinder any attempts at reform.

It's a shame you have been forced to add such a disclaimer:

"This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC."

I'm sure there's at least one demoralizing story that led to this addition.

Keep up the good work.

Quite.

This from a Brit in London...
"Hi folks
My husband an I will be staying at SMB [Mexico] in August for two weeks and need help planning a few excursions. We think Tulum ruins would be perfect but are a bit stuck for further ideas. Im pretty much scared of everything- fish, lizards, butterflys, flying etc etc (Im a wimp!). It goes without saying I dont like having to battle through vegetation as this usually hides creatures! What else could we do that would would you recommend we AVOID!"

Hmm... a holiday abroad?

@Jins: Thankyou

"..Santa came around as we ate our meal,and he looked pig sick too along with his elf!! .."

I would say YANBU to disregard those posts - except maybe to consider going there if they don't speak English and the food is authentic.

Well ignore their reviews by all means but I for one wouldn't want to go to the type of establishment where the other clients are teh sort of people who put "wayter" instead of waiter.

"We had been in cafe b till early hours,the next morning my wife was still hung over and wanted to stay in bed, i was starving and thought i would get the bus into Beni and get a breakfast at the Wookie,I got to the Bus stop, and at that time the Bus fare was 1 Euro,all I had on me was a 50 Euro note, and a 1 Euro piece, i had the euro in my hand ready to pay for the Bus,when this middle aged lady approached me, and started to speak to me in Spanish,I tried to explain to her that I did not understand Spanish, when she put both her hands to her right cheek trying to tell me she wanted to sleep with me,so i held the 1 Euro out to show her that is all I had, she must have thought i was offering her 1 Euro to sleep with her because she started screaming at me, and hitting me with her handbag, I had to flee back into the Monika to get away."

Ah so the Wookie is in 'Beni' and was that was Dillie on the bus?

The thick plotens...

Where is hustler, eh? eh?

An improbable skin condition caused by the lack of umbereials, I think

Here you are Pag. [[http://www.holiday-truth.com/holiday_truths/hotel_reviews/7136/Aphrodite%20Hotel/ these prossies] have got a bit more get up and go to 'em.

That didn't work. Try again. How do you just cut and paste a bit of text straight to the thread, reather than cut and paste the whole link? I can't do it.

You missed a ] off the end, Fellatio.

these prossies

Thank you. How is everyone just pasting bits of text?

I'm starting to feel a bit disappointed at the lack of highly visible prostitutes in all my holidays to date.

I got mistaken for a high class call-girl when I was loitering wating for my DH on the front steps of the Dorchester in Park Lane once. I was propositioned by a very handsome Arab man in his chaffeur driven Range Rover.

I'm fascintated by this one:

Despite the many bad reports on this hotel the management have not found it necessary to change a thing. We have just returned, and the barman is still miserable and rude, the pool loungers are still scarce, the food still inadequate, and the all-inclusive is still a total joke.

Then why go back?
