Is there anything better than going on holiday? There are a few things, no doubt, but the list is short. The problem, of course, is that finding a place to stay when you book your next holiday can be hit or miss. Even if you book a luxury hotel, how can you be sure it is the “right” place for you? How can you know, aside from simply taking a chance and staying there, that it will be the experience you hoped for?
One might be inclined to research the matter, seeking out reviews of different luxury hotels by people who have stayed there, but here’s the sad reality: Not all reviews are created equally. If you explore travel websites, sure, you’ll find guest reviews, but some of these allow reviewers to post anonymously, so you don’t really know if an employee of the hotel posted a glowing review of the place to help draw in business, or if it is a legitimate review. Also, one shortcoming of guest reviews left on sites like these is the fact that the particulars of the hotel in question may be sorely lacking. You’ll see a lot of reviews along the lines of “Great place to stay - loved it!” which just isn’t all that informative.
"Finding The Perfect Place To Stay"
What you really want is an in-depth review that goes into detail about the rooms and how they are appointed, the level and type of service you can expect when you stay there, details about the restaurants either in the area, or inside the hotel itself, and little personal observations that let you know with certainty that the person writing the review has actually stayed there. Has actually spent one or more nights enjoying all that the hotel has to offer.
Just as it is true that not all reviews are created equally, so too is it the case that not all luxury hotels are created equally. Each one is luxurious in its own way, and as such, each one caters to a very particular type of traveler. Finding the right hotel for you is, at the end of the day, all about finding the hotel that best suits your style and personality.
Don’t settle for short, pithy, one to four line “reviews” that don’t really tell you anything. Don’t settle for anonymously posted reviews that having nothing standing behind them. Instead, find a website whose reputation you know and trust. One that specializes in conducting in-depth luxury hotel reviews filled with the kinds of details and particulars you’re hungry for. The kind of detail that will help you make an informed choice about where to stay when you book your next holiday.
We all want our holidays to be memorable occasions, and one way you can ensure that is to research and carefully evaluate all your options before booking your next trip. Find a review site you trust, and consider it your partner in holiday. Do that, and you’ll never have another regrettable hotel stay again.
