Q49iy5, I completely agree with you. The few times I had to stay in Chinese hotels (Chinese meaning they were absolutely not used to foreigners, nothing wrong with a *3 Chinese hotel) I was surprised to find them on Tripadvisor with some 20 reviews or so.. all in Chinese, but that's not the issue, and it was fine what they said about it. I guess I'll stay the only English review about that hotel for a while But TripAdvisor really seems to be working just as well in any part of the world, meaning that there isn't a lack of comments from some languages, which is probably it's biggest advantage if you know how to use this (reviews from different kind of places of the world will also review different aspects better than the British tourists who will give 5* if the tea cooking device was good or the German if the breakfast sausage was good Enough stereotypes for now )
