Hola Locals VS TripAdvisor
"The information on TripAdvisor is
anything but honest"
New York Post
Why you should never, ever trust TripAdvisor
“The information on TripAdvisor is anything but honest and unbiased, and it’s only getting worse.” "Rankings aren’t based on quality" "Fake reviews - It’s challenging to trust a review that might have been planted by a paid overseas agency"
What's wrong with TripAdvisor?
"In the travel industry, nothing can touch TripAdvisor reviews. It’s the gold standard for information and comparison shopping for hotels, restaurants and excursions. Yet, just below the surface, there are some major problems with the service. There’s a dark side that is widely discussed in the industry, but rarely acknowledged to consumers: there’s a huge problem with fake TripAdvisor reviews."
