Do that couple really believe that people would want to stay at their B&B after seeing them on this programme?Hmm
He comes across as a crazed ranter and she is a wet blanket.

Pagwatch · 31/10/2011 21:21

I am enjoying the self important tossers who see themselves as freedom fighters by...er....writing bitchy things on trip advisor.

They need to do a European version

Eeek, would you really time an extractor fan?

mumatron · 31/10/2011 21:47

Oh I'm definitely watching this on +1.

Thanks pag

Boy with skin condition = probable serial killer.
Feel sorry for dirty bog brush lady.

It seemed to me that the couple who stayed in st ives went on holiday purely to review a hotel rather than have a holiday - who on earth times a bathroom fan?? and i don't get why they didn't bring up small problems with the owner like she said.

Although if i was reading a review on trip adviser and one of the comments was 'there was old water in the kettle' i would reckon that there was obviously not that much to complain about!

SierraMadre · 31/10/2011 21:55

They are all loons. I can't quite believe that the couple in Norfolk decided that the reviewer was a bitch by the way she walked [hconfused]

Erm, you don't think she might be walking funny because she's being filmed and feeling a bit awkward?!

And as for the male proprietor "I don't know if she's a lady or a woman"... God help us.

I feel really sorry for the lady in St Ives.

Pagwatch · 31/10/2011 21:56

They are all totally batty.

It is fabulous !

is it me or did Norfolk man start sounding like Alan Partridge? Grin

RitaMorgan · 31/10/2011 22:04

That Norfolk couple were nuts!

befuzzled · 31/10/2011 22:04

that was really entertaining. The Norfolk hoteliers need to get a grip. Not everyone will like everything you do.

iliketea · 31/10/2011 22:07

I just laughed out loud remember the man in st ives switching the light off to show how bright the light outside the window was and the camera showing darkness - what a bunch of nutters. If anything the programme shows not to bother trusting trip adviser unless all the reviews are truly rubbish.

Caoimhe · 31/10/2011 22:08

OMG the reviewers were all seriously strange!!!! Strange skin man, the bloke with the kettle and fan obsession and the sour faced woman!!!

That woman who went back to the restaurant looked like she was sucking lemons - what did she think was going to happen? Why did she get so uppity saying that the meeting with the owners was inappropriate? She flipping well agreed to it! She was a complete cow.

BecauseImAWerewolefIt · 31/10/2011 22:08

They were all as bad as each other!

Fabulous.

I wondered if there would be a thread on here about it Grin

Flisspaps · 31/10/2011 22:11

The Norfolk pair were bonkers. I couldn't warm to them at all. And most of that fish and seafood had so much sauce that it could still swim on the plates.

I did feel a bit sorry for dirty bog brush Bev, but at the same time I do think that if you don't make sure that basic cleanliness (like a clean bog brush or empty kettle) is kept to, you have to expect a bad review.

One bad review is going to make the reviewer look a bit shitty, surely a whole host of them would make you stop and think that actually, they might have a point?

lobsters · 31/10/2011 22:19

Almost everyone in this programme was barking. I wish Bev (St Ives lady) had explained her side from the nasty review she was upset about. The only sensible person on there was the nan of one of the reviews, she was great

Flisspaps · 31/10/2011 22:23

The nan was indeed great, telling him that she wouldn't bother putting in something as 'petty as bringing you the wrong drink'

BoozeDilemma · 31/10/2011 22:57

WTF was he doing looking at the bog brush?? It's for cleaning poo, does he expect it to be gleaming? If it was, he'd probably moan that it wasn't being used enough. And if his partner did a spectacularly smelly one, they'd be bloody grateful for that fan!

Bunch of wankers, erring on psychopathic. And the proprietors are all barking and mostly snooty and snidely condescending.

I certainly wouldn't take much notice of Trip Advisor with whinges about the rubbish that these people think is important.

Love the programmes about loonies Grin

KatieMortician · 31/10/2011 22:59

OMG I'm not surprised some of these people get bad reviews. Terrible customer service and very little self-awareness.

The nit-picker Trip advisors were also pretty tragic.

ElderberrySyrup · 31/10/2011 23:02

I love the way the loony hotelliers always get self-righteous about their belief that the customer should have addressed the problem with them directly when it arose. When they are so scary you would be petrified to complain about something when you're spending the night in their hotel.

thederkinsdame · 31/10/2011 23:08

What made me most shocked was the guy withthe skin complaint. Does he change his own duvet very day?! Actually the answer is probably yes. But I loved the fact that he felt enticed to scribble on the duvet then be aghast that it hadnt been changed. Made as a box of frogs.

BoozeDilemma · 31/10/2011 23:13

What's the betting he is single? Grin

hermionestranger · 31/10/2011 23:53

I wish they'd done a whole series on this. Dh was reading them all on TA whilst the programme was on. He said none of the places were overall badly reviewed and had quite good scores. We both agreed though that we'll never be stating in the mad Norfolk place though. Dagenham. (stop up from barking.)

SingingSands · 31/10/2011 23:59

The whole programme was hilarious.

I got the impression that the "reviewers" were there to review in minute and terrible detail, not to have a holiday.

The boy on holiday with his nan was as mad as a bag of snakes. The fact that he holidays with his nan says it all really!
