Ever Ever stayed in a hotel that was like something out of a Carry On film or Fawlty Towers? Watching Basil Fawlty belittle his guests upon check-in or Sid James propping up a hotel bar as the ceiling tumbles down around him may be hilarious to watch on TV but the humour disappears when in real life the hotel you’ve booked starts to show a scary resemblance.

Choosing the right hotel for the right price is everyone’s dilemma. Let’s face it, we are all looking for the best value for money, whether we are booking a 2* or a 5* hotel. Some of us are happy with just a clean bed for the night, others prefer to pamper themselves in complete luxury. Everyone’s expectations are different, so how can you make sure the hotel you are planning to book meets yours?

Well, rather than take the factual and sometimes glamorous write ups presented by the hotel itself at face value, how helpful would it be to have the unbiased and honest revues of fellow travellers that have stayed there before you?

Yes. That’s what we figured. That is why Wefly.co.uk has teamed up with TripAdvisor, one of the world’s leading on-line travel communities, where travellers from all over the world post their views about their experiences at various hotels. Wefly.co.uk offers literally 1000’s of hotels available to book on-line at very low prices, a growing number of which now have links to reviews from TripAdvisor.

So whilst we can’t exactly let you ‘try’ before you ‘buy’, we can help you ‘know’ before you ‘go’ and make a more informed decision before you book.

What’s been interesting for me to see, and a tip I’d pass on to you, is that the comments for  the same hotel can vary considerably, so be sure to read as many of the reviews as possible – not just the first one on the list. It really brings home that everyone’s expectations are so, so different and what works for one person, might not for others. However, the one thing that does work for all, is making sure you’re getting a good price – something Wefly.co.uk are superb at.
