London - TripAdvisor has become a resource for travellers wanting to read reviews about hotels, restaurants and attractions from all of the world.
While a great mention can boost a resort or bar’s reputation, scathing feedback can all but close down a venue. These are the most bizarre reviews of all time.
Hotels
1 Review title: Blood on the pillow…
The title should say it all – sleep in your car instead – pimps on the stairwell, drugs sold in the parking lot, blood on the pillow. – stayed July 2008.
2 Review title: Worse place ever
We will never stay there again. The room was dirty, there was p**s, ants everywhere, the floors were not vacuumed, the air conditioning didn’t work (and) it was 108 degrees outside, the bathroom was dirty.
“When we called to change rooms, they never called back, so I walked down to the desk. As I was walking, there was a woman outside one of the rooms shooting up with a needle in her doorway and a drug deal going on in the parking lot.
Bars/restaurants
1 Review title: Terrible – unless you like to drink beer in the company of cockroaches
If you like to drink beer while having cockroaches crawl over you, this is the place. We stayed all of 10 minutes.
We watched a roach walk across the sawdust floor and climb the wall. A couple of minutes later, I had to flick one from my chest. As we left, the (rude) server kicked another roach away. This is a shockingly filthy place and there are many other better pubs in New York.”
2 Review title: A big miss!
Saw waiter sneeze on the food. He did not turn his head away. Big miss on service as well – would not recommend!
Tourist attractions
1 Stonehenge: Review title: Just a few rocks
I was disgusted to find this was just a few rocks to look at and nothing to do. They should knock it down and build an arcade or a funfair. Don’t waste your time. What a silly place.”
2 Review title: New Year’s light show
Love the Eiffel and normally only hate the queue, but decided to see the new year (2014) here. What a disappointment! I can create a better show with a handful of sparklers.”
3 Anne Frank’s House: Review title: Budget Traveller
“Spend your money elsewhere, like a walking tour of the red-light district and get to speak with a former prostitute. Would rather spend money there.”
4 Taj Mahal: Review title: Sucks to the core
Never been so disappointed in my entire life. Agra is sheet. If you want to come here just for the Taj Mahal, give this place a skip. Food sucks, people suck, the place will drain you of your life force. – Daily Mail
