I love TripAdvisor reviews and I like reviewing places I've been to for them, especially restaurants, not only in my local area, but when I travel as well.

I am a B&B owner. Whenever a guest has used TA they think they are booking directly with us. They soon find out thete is no number to contact adking us to cancel. They are given thete toll free number and are told they can't cancel although our cancellation policy alloes them too. Tripadvisor deserves this what should be less than one star review. TA aldo hijacks the accomodation website. Don't bother getting a link since there focus is third party bookings. TA you can't get it all the way around on holding properties hostage.

TA is an excellent resource when it comes to making decisions on restaurants, hotels, travel, etc. They blow yelp out of the water! I consult TA on an almost daily basis as I find it to be very reliable.

I use TripAdvisor all the time to plan my trips. I can find out where to go and what to see in any location; I can book my hotels and I can see where everything is located on the included maps. Most importantly, I can read reviews (judiciously) from other travellers.
You can compare prices, as well.

Good for me
January 10, 2017

At first, I love traveling. And I've been on this site for almost 4 yrs. Time flies, and the information keep updated. I am not that young man who was so desperate to see the world outside. But I still love travel. I found a lot of new places and new routes on this site, and they gave me much more exciting feelings. Travel is good for me, as well as this website.

Marc and I are so grateful to have had our wedding event at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel. We had a wonderful, great customer service, professional team at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel. Special thanks to Alfred Ayoub, Benjamin Bruckert, Food and beverage Services Manager, Caroline Cote, Event Manager, Lindsey, Manuela, and The Chef who was very exceptional to put together a menu tailored to our needs.
Everyone went above and beyond to help us. We received wonderful feedback from family and friends on how lovely the room was arranged, the view and most importantly how the great was the food. The services was impeccable. We have and will continue to recommend Ottawa Marriott Hotel to everyone."
