Surely nobody here is as self opinionated as you

I know this has been raised before , but seriously just visit
Tripadvisor.

http://www.tripadvisor.com/members-reviews/PaulGarvey

I have to ask Paul, do you actually goo on holiday for the holiday,
I
mean that wouldn't be so bad but even if you visit the local fish
and
chip shop you feel compelled to let the world know what you think.
I
can imagine a couple of reviews but 66!!!!!! You really are so
full
of yourself that its almost Narcissistic.

Tripadvisor has 84 million members worldwide, who have posted a
quarter
of a billion reviews. To review is extremely helpful to everyone and
I
don't book places that don't have good trip advisor reviews. I
believe
it forces up quality.


Really, helpful to everyone eh.

Take a look at a place in Helston A small guesthouse, 31 reviews,26
excellent! Then comes Paul Garver with terrible. The poor owner had to
reply of course, as everyone gets stirred up to do so with you.

Do you ever think that if everyone else (bar 1) thought it excellent or
very good that something might be down to you? Or how much people who
try
hard to run a small business well are upset by attitudes like yours?

No, of course not.

My wife was once driven to tears by someone like you - though not quite
as
bad obviously.

The vast majority of Paul's reviews have been very good or excellent
though.
Perhaps he just had a bad experience. It happens, even in places that are
normally rated as excellent.

What the 'eck has this got to do with Schafernacker as per thread title?
As a holiday let owner myself, I agree wholeheartedly with Graham. Some
customers are simply moaners.


If the majority of the reviews were bleating and moaning then I think you
would have a point, but they are mostly very complimentary, 'glowing'
even.
OK, perhaps the sarcastic tone was unnecessary but a bad review is meant
to be just that. It's not intended to make for comfortable reading.


We got a bad review recently about the cleaning in our cottage. But I know
for a fact that the place was spotless, the customer had clearly had bad
weather and was just having a pop. Pointless and unhelpful. Most of our
reviews are either excellent or very good overall. Yes some make useful
comments, but single outstanding good or bad reviews are often safely
ignored :-)

I find it simply amazing that even people who have killfiled me want to talk about my (overall hugely positive) **Tripadvisor** contributions.

This one writes: 'What the 'eck has this got to do with Schafernacker as per thread title?' in one post, then can't resist venting his spleen about one review he's received on Tripadvisor, in his very next post.

Just, literally, unbelievable. laughing
