I travel alot and TA is handy but its accuracy is questionable. About a third of the time I am offered money or discounts to post on TA about a place I stayed at. If I write something bad I don't get the money most of the time so the nature of a bribe affects the review from people who will do anything for money or whatever. Also I find the most wonderful reviews don't have a email address or a way to contact them but the bad reviews usually do. I also fine people are reluctant to write a bad review. They don't want to but the experience was so bad they have to say something to save folks from the hotel or whatever.

We stayed at the Hotel Mago in St Lucia and if you want a laugh look at all the wonderful reviews and the bad reviews. I can tell you this place is poorly managed and poorly maintained. I will point out I am not picky and funky is OK but this place does not look like its website. They couldn't even keep the beer cold at the bar. Something as basic as cold beer is not hard to do. Water was dripping down the wall and if you touched anything electrical in the bathroom you got a shock. Nice huh... now go look at the website and see what they potray. TA has a place but don't take anything without additional research as the truth.
