Best travel review website/source
 

any suggestions where i can find unbiased, independent reviews?

I don't think there is a single best site. I generally check if the hotel is a member of marketing organization, then if it's member of a prestigious booking site like Kiwi Collection and finally if it's been included or won prestigious awards. Condé Nast Gold List or Hot List, Travel+Leisure top500 or Tatler. Then I check Tripadvisor (just to check majority of reviews are excellent), then I check other reviews. Google the name property followed my review and see what comes up. What I love most is called www.flyertalk.com, right here, where discerning travelers give their best advices and personal recommendations.

I enjoy reading The Global Black Book... Just like the writing style. I can't vouch for all the content

Star Service, part of Travel-42.com, provides objective reviews written by professional reviewers. However, it's a subscription-only site. I do subscribe and am happy to copy-paste individual reviews to clients on request. Due to the nature of the service, I cannot re-post their reviews on a public forum.

Please continue to follow this Thread in the FT TravelBuzz Forum.
