Move over TripAdvisor – is it time for Trip Elated?
A new review website has been launched which only publishes reviews of places that travellers have enjoyed visiting.
The site, www.trip-elated.com, claims potential high-profile legal action against TripAdvisor shows that unfiltered, user-generated reviews have outstayed their welcome.
Amanda Brown, Trip Elated’s resident hotel reviewer, said: “Travellers are tired of trawling through a constant array of conflicting information and bad experiences.
“Now, whether it’s a cheap and cheerful hostel in France, a top-notch villa in Turkey or a honeymoon paradise in Australia, Trip Elated gives travellers the thumbs up from those who have already been there and loved it.”
According to Trip Elated, the site is carefully monitored so that if any misuse is spotted, rogue reviews can be removed within seconds.
“There is no room on our site for those looking to complain, criticise or moan about their bad experiences.
“Of course we want our reviews to be objective and that includes mentioning anything that fell short of expectations. But if the accommodation was not up to scratch, then it’s probably not right for Trip Elated,” said Brown.
** What do you think of this idea? Do you think Tripadvisor’s days are numbered? Do you agree that holidaymakers prefer to only read positive reviews?
