Traveler Reviews
I base many of my decisions on the reviews of others—before making a hotel reservation, I see what previous guests said on Tripadvisor, Venere, or Hotels.com. I read forums and articles and advice columns before deciding on an itinerary and which sites to see. And, of course, I check out restaurant reviews when making a list of delicious meals to look forward to.
I know from my experience in the hospitality industry, however, that sometimes these reviews and opinions can be somewhat biased, so hopefully there are several well-detailed reviews for me to make an educated decision.
Despite this, I admit that I’m not very good at submitting my own reviews after a stay, meal, or visit. That’s why Lonely Planet’s new giveaway is a great incentive for someone like me:
