When checking online hotel reviews, you should keep certain things in mind.You should definitely check out more than one source. Although you may want to visit ahotel's own testimonial page, that should never be what you base your decision on. Ofcourse you should visit that page, to get a feel for some of the positive features of thehotel, but you will never find any of the negatives (if there are any) about the hotel ontheir own site.That's why other online hotel review sites exist. The hotels have no control over them,so you can get a better overview of the guest's opinions of them.Ifyou google the name ofthe hotel, you will surely be presented with some of thereview sites. The GooglePlaces page should be easy to find in the results. The small"pushpin" icon next to itwill identify it as the Google Places page. It may possibly havesome stars next to it aswell, if it's been reviewed. If there is a number next to the star, itmean's that how many reviews areon its Googlel page. More reviews means morereliability.You can find the Google reviews by clicking next to the stars, on the number of reviews -that will take you right to the Google Places page of the hotel.Google isn't the only review site - here are some more. Check out more than one bygoing to the site and using the search boxes to find out if the hotel you are checking islisted with them.•http://localdirectory.azcentral.com•http://travel.yahoo.com•http://lonelyplanet.com•http://kayak.com/Hotels•http://national.citysearch.com•http://travelpod.com•http://tripadvisor.comChecking the Chamber of Commerce site for the city the hotel is in is another goodidea.For more accuracy, use quotation marks around the hotel's name wen using the searchboxes of a review site.
