Co to jest Trip Advisor to chyba kazdy wie.
Przez lata obrosl w sile i stal sie biblia dla turystow ale i miejscem gdzie sfrustrowany Kowalski moze wylewac swoje zale ze sciany w hotelu mialy brzydki kolor albo ze halas byl.
Udzielilam sie tam pare razy rowniez ale strona interesuje sie glownie zawodowo – czytam recenzje dotyczace naszego hotelu oraz konkurencji, czesto tez sprawdzam jaka opinie ma miejsce do ktorego sama sie wybieram.
Czy sie kieruje tymi recenzjami? Ano nie bo siedzac w branzy wiem ze ufac mozna w zasadzie tylko opiniom wystawionym na stronach takich jak booking,com czy expedia, ktore sa autentyczne (bo trzeba rzeczywsicie zrobic rezerwacje i w danym miejscu byc by dostac linka zapraszajacego do wyslania opinii) i rzetelne (bo ludzie szukajacy sami hoteli a nie podrozujacy np z grupami zorganizowanymi sa swiadomi swych wyborow i nie beda sie zalic ze np nie bylo windy i halas skoro w opisie hotelu jest jak byk ze nie ma windy i ze obok jest popularny night club).
Owszem niektorzy wypowiadajacy sie maja racje i czesto hotel sam – jesli sie pokwapi do odpowiedzi – przyznaje to. I jesli na 50 opinii w 45 ciu jest wzmianka ze jest brud syf i karaluchy to najprawdopodobniej tak istotnie jest.
Natomiast na przykladzie recenzji od osob ktore udalo nam sie zidentyfikowac oraz doswiadczen innych hoteli, a takze z obserwacji opinii o miejscach w ktorych sama bylam, wiem ze 50% trip advisorowskich wypocin to po prostu crap.
A wystarczy tylko wspomniec o niedawnej aferze z hotelem ktory oficjalnie kazal pracownikom umieszczac falszywe recenzje (dobre dla siebie i fatalne dla konkurencji) i jeszcze zrobil to droga mailowa. Po tym wydarzeniu trip advisor musial zrezygnowac ze sloganu ze opinie na portalu sa 100% sprawdzone i autentyczne. Sama znam jednego szurnietego pana ktory zostal zwolniony i z zemsty wystawil bylemu miejscu pracy bardzo zla recenzje jako niby gosc, a potem tak go wciagnelo ze udajac businessmana podrozujacego po swiecie wybieral sobie jakas restauracje albo hotel i jechal po nim rowno, a co.
To bylo tytulem wstepu a teraz przejde do rzeczy: Alex podeslala mi linka do pewnego hotelu na T.A ktorego general manager ma odwage otwarcie przeciwstawiac sie gosciom krytykujacym hotel. I to w jaki sposob! Podeslalam to swojemu GMowi ktory porozsylal dalej do swoich kumpli i okazalo sie ze ten pan ktorego przedstawie inicjalami M.B jest juz kultowy w srodowisku.
Nawet chyba inspiruje inne hotele do odwazniejszej obrony bezpodstawnej krytyki, bo juz napotkalam odpowiedz czeskiej Breziny z Pragi ktora gosc oskarzyl o podwojne obciazenie karty, nie w stylu: Drogi Kliencie, przepraszamy bla bla bla, tylko: „dlaczego pan zamiast zadzwonic do nas i wyjasnic co sie stalo umiescil recenzje sugerujaca ze oszukujemy gosci?”
No wlasnie, dlaczego?
U mnie tez sie zdarza ze ktos nie lubi przydzielonego pokoju bo np wychodzi na ulice. Jesli przychodzi na recepcje i prosi o inny to na 90% dostanie no chyba ze hotel jest pelen i juz nie ma zadnej innej mozliwosci. Ale po co spytac skoro mozna nie mowic nic, wrocic do domu, zalogowac sie na T.A., dac opinie POOR albo AVERAGE i napisac jaki to okropny halas byl cala noc. A przypuszczalnie gdyby dostal pokoj od dziedzinca to byloby: „hotel sie reklamuje ze sa widoki na gory a to nieprawda bo nasze okna wychodzily na ogrod”.
Juz pomijam: „hotel byl bardzo daleko od centrum i juz nigdy tam nie przyjade i nie rekomenduje” bo na naszej stronie jak byk stoi dokladna lokalizacja i czas dojazdu do centrum ktory jest zgodny z prawda”.
Ale wracaja do pana M.B bo o nim chcialam pisac, pozwole sobie zacytowac niektore z jego odpowiedzi:

My jaw is still on the ground after our experience in this hotel and, in reading the many responses written by the General Manager of the Fairways hotel to previous guests comments. When we stayed there we found the reception staff very friendly, the rooms were grand but the attitude of the breakfast staff and management was incredible… I have never experienced anything like it. We were five minutes late for breakfast, as were numerous behind us, and were told breakfast was finished and we couldn’t have anything.We, like the others, felt this was unreasonable and voiced this to the staff. To say the staff were rude, aggressive and unaccommodating is an understatement. After several exchanges we eventually were given some breakfast but the previous responses by the Manager sums up the attitude of the rest of the staff. We suspected the staff’s poor attitude was directed from the top down and now having read these responses from the Manager we realise our suspicions are correct. If this is how the management behave and if this is their attitude how could you expect anything else from the staff. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. You may be lucky and enjoy your stay however if something goes wrong don’t expect much from the management to put it right. If the Manager put half the effort into improving his customer service as he has done into writting these incredibly unprofessional responses perhaps things would somewhat improve in this hotel. Can he not see how much damage he is doing to the hotel by posting these responses? Incredible!

I will be very surprised if anyone reading your totally untrue remarks will have the slightest sympathy for you.. Despite your rude and high handed attitude you were still afforded every courtesy. Finally on arrival at reception you were told the times for breakfast, everyone is. Can you explain why you were the only person expecting breakfast AFTER 10.30am ? You have told asome Fibs havnt you.!!!

Room wasn’t ready when I arrived. When we got the room – it was very basic – like something from my parents era – definitely not 3 star. The tourism board really need to have a look. Like the post below about Restaraunt letting side down – that’s an understatement – it was TERRIBLE! In fact I think the whole staff need complete retraining. Im glad I didn’t complain as you only need to read the General Managers replys to all the poor comments to see he isn’t taking any notice. People buy people first – not price when its a hotel – if you want to grow your business so stop going on about ‚where would you get x y and z for such a low price’. Sort out your service levels or let whoever own the hotel find someone that can. The only person who love you giving a poor experience is your competitors

We checked out 3 hours after we checked in.
How they could value it as €124 is unbelievable. The cold,damp room had an old tv in the corner which didnt work,reception told me they couldnt get them repaired as its bank holiday weekend.although after reading reviews on here they have been broken since february,not just this weekend.
The restaurant area is cold and uninviting,the food was cold.
We read the reviews ,too late,after we had eaten,and decided not to bother complaining as seeing the managements replies they fall on deaf ignorant ears.the management obviously have no interest in improving their business and listening to their customers.
So we cut our losses and booked into the crowne plaza down the road and had a great weekend.

stayed here recently with my sisters and found the staff to be very unhelpful as my eldest sister left her purse in her room with over 200 euro, money she had for her grandchildrens communion presents, and when she rang to find out whether she could collect it they said that they found her bus pass etc under the mattress and also tried to pass it off saying she may have left it in the bar the previous night. obviously was taken by someone as she doesnt tend to keep her bus pass under the mattress for safe keeping???she was very distraught by this and the lack of help from the hotel
