Like permisi - I ALWAYS look first at the nationality of the reviewer'
Nationals of certain countries come to the review page with seriously prejudicial attitudes - all too often.
Our latest travels have been to India. - We quickly lerarned to totally ignore Indian Revoewers of Indian Hotels.
Inevitably they focussed on trivial stuff - and generally were coloured by weird preconceptions of what a good hotel should be. Few of which coincided with our expectations - in terms of service standards, cleanliness, food quality, staff attitude or even location.
Read widely - you can usually get a reasonable picture of places from several reviews!
