If I've had a good experience i write a good review. If I've had a bad experience I make it known at the time. If there is no resolution then a truthful account is then added to trip advisor.

There are instances that can't have a resolution. Unhappy, unhelpful staff. Delay on serving.

Never thought of using it for anything other than hotel stays, even then I take most comments with a pinch of salt. However when a review has suggestions like where to stay in the hotel and local activities around it I'm interested.

My last trip advisor review was on a well reviewed hotel in the Caribbean and my only comment was that BBC sports live football could be heard on such and such FM. It's about getting the important things in life right.

Not sure if I agree with trip adviser from a recommendation only point of view, after all it's only an opinion and as we all know we have different ones of those at times. Some people enjoy being miserable and are never happy unless complaining and I sometimes think that some of the reviews on there are exactly that. I tend to go somewhere if I like the look off and if it's good I'll go again, if it doesn't deliver I just take my business elsewhere, I like to Think of it like the Indian restaurants in town we all have our favourite, but it won't be the same favourite for everyone, so who is right and who is wrong? However regarding poor service then that is different, if something is going to cost me an arm and leg then I want to be met with a warm welcome,if this isn't the case then I can understand why people would feel grieved and feel the need to complain, but at the same time I don't enjoy someone loitering around my table asking me if everything's fine every two minutes, it's a bad as an irritating fly buzzing around your head.

I'm on holiday at the moment so have used Trip Advisor to look at touts and restaurants, but I always like to see some not do good reviews, if somewhere has only excellent reviews I find it odd. You can't please everyone all of the time.
