Trip Advisor, the well established travel/accommodation review site is no stranger to controversy with many blog posts and comments from the hotel & leisure industry questioning its policy on ‘the right to reply’ and ‘bonifide posts’.
TA bills itself as providing “Unbiased holiday reviews, photos and travel advice for hotels and vacations”
It came to light in 2009 that Trip Advisor was to begin charging for business listings – this has now come to pass.
As we have over 20 years experience in the hotel & leisure industry we are interested in feedback and comment from any Hotel, Guest House, B&B, Self Catering, Restaurant etc as to what this means to you ….

I am sure we are all aware of the power of Trip Advisor and if you are like us then you tend to check it out before booking anywhere. Friend and former employer Taychreggan Hotel  have hit new highs with a fantastic review from people who are yet to stay there – now that has to be a first doesnt it?  Due to a slight car accident in the forecourt of the hotel, the helpfulness of the staff means that they have secured a booking in February and a rave review – lets hope they continue to rave about the hotel after staying there – no reason why not! You can see the review here and read the many other 5 star reviews.
On the subject of Trip Advisor they are introducing a paid enhanced listing option to owners and in January it is on special offer for approximately £300. The enhanced listing gives you a link to your website, a telephone number displaying on your listing, more control over the content and the ability to add your own images. Has anyone taken them up on the offer? We are in two minds. Does it devalue the power of public opinion if owners can manipulate their listing? Or does it add credence to the listing with the addition of a weblink and telephone number? Not sure and interested to hear anyone elses views on the subject. For more information on Trip Advisor business listings then take a look here.
And back to Taychreggan…. well done guys, keep up the good work and we will be over to see our favourite hotel soon!

Internet marketing takes up the majority of my daily hours, social media and website updates take up more daily hours, but, being the creative soul that I am I have been busily making things during night hours. Just launched a new website with a selection of my creations to date available to buy online.
So how did this happen? Well I gave up smoking a year ago and was going to slip off the wagon if I didnt do something creative to compensate for the smoking. So here it is. Would love to know what people think, would love it even more if people bought stuff & also to bookmark as the more I make the more will go online.Â
