TRIPADVISOR

Trip Advisor (or properly stated TripAdvisor) is basically a hotel review site. It has grown rapidly over the years and not without controversy. ​Users post reviews of their hotel stays or vacations so other users may benefit from their review/experience. Of course, this is a double-edged sword. Below, you'll find information about the company and whether or not their resources are appropriate for your travel planning purposes.
