I use TripAdvisor every time I travel I use TripAdvisor every time I travel, it's great to get a glimpse of the main attractions and restaurants in different cities. I really like the options to look at different tours, for instance they often have users compile a 3 day tour of a particular city which is really useful.

I recommend TripAdvisor very much. I recommend TripAdvisor very much. My comments posted to TripAdvisor have been shared intact. And I believe they are doing a very good job providing travelers around the world the reliable information without any bias.

Information is key to travel right They provide good information to travel

AVOID Business Advantage membership AVOID Business Advantage membership! Sheldon Davis signed me up after promising a link to our business website. After he took our money and got us under contract, our page had BOOKING.COM front and center as the main booking option! I was super clear that I was open to paying $94 per month to stop losing 15% commission to an OTA and he mislead me to believe that's what this membership would provide. What I actually got on the new page was a tiny line for "visit hotel website" and not the giant BOOK button that still lost me 15% commissions via OTA's. I called Sheldon over and over again - no response. I canceled by email within 30 days - no response. Niki Neidhart emailed me when the company couldn't charge my CC anymore and said that I owed per TripAdvisor contract and I replied no - and forwarded my emails with Shelton. On September 20th her email read "I apologize that the Business Advantage did not provide the results that you expected. Your subscription will become suspended and your Business Advantage will become inactive. Moving forward from today you have been cancelled." I thought that was the end, but I still get monthly emails that read "Final Notice - Payment Required. According to our records, the following past due invoices remain outstanding:" On June 5th I emailed John Saia my correspondence with Shelton and Nikki and AND HE TOO stopped responding. So now I get these past due invoices every month: June, July, August, Septemer etc.. It's ridiculous. They call you non stop to sign you up for a fake promise and then won't reply to your concerns, try to charge you monthly. AVOID PAYING FOR TRIP ADVISOR! Stick to reviews. They support BAD business practices that will loop you in for awhile.

Waste of time Tried to post a review twice. Just a regular positive review. Got my review badge twice. Both times I got a confirmation email and both times it was never published, but instead removed without comment. Trying to find a feedback or contact function to ask why TripAdvisor is wasting my time without giving any feedback, I thought my time is better invested in writing my feedback right here. Happy now?
