Just to piggy back on the "non reliable" tripadvisor thread, I thought it would be fun to start a thread and list the stupidest things you have read in a review on tripadvisor. Things that make you wonder how the author has lived to an age where they can actually travel alone. Here are a few gems that I have seen (not word for word, but general statements). I always wonder how they find tripadvisor AFTER their trip, but not before.

Hotel was horrible and ruined my trip. Did not tell me the sun was more intense in Mexico, causing me to sunburn on my first day and ruin my trip. You have been warned, wear sunscreen.

This motel 6 ruined my honeymoon. Haha, enough said.

Will never return to this hotel because there are homeless people everywhere in this city.

Hotel insisted on holding $50 a day in case I ruined something.

Will never stay in this hotel again. The casino is tight, and will take all of your money.

The buses in this city take forever and do not stick to their timetables.

Tour company did not warn me that I would get wet during the river rafting trip. It ruined my $300 leather handbag.

Do not rent from this car rental company. They will force you to buy their gas, which is twice the price of gas everywhere else.

Hotel staff stole my eye serum and face cream. I am lucky they did not steal my jewelry or laptop.

Do not stay in this hotel. They will force you to take their timeshare tour, and you will have to spend thousands of dollars to get away from them after ruining your entire day.


To sum it up, a cute cartoon I recently had posted in my office. Common sense is not a gift, it is a curse. You have to deal with everyone who does not have it.
