Used TA for research for trips throughout Vietnam and Phuket for 10 people for 1 month staying in 8 different hotels, visiting various tourist sites and eating in various restaurants.
I usually look at the amount of reviews that are on a site and the percentage of recommendations e.g. some places we stayed at had up to 200 odd reviews and 70%-80% were positive...never had a problem.
We found TA very helpfull especially when researching places through various forums based in the countries we visited.
