I've heard good things about Aldeburgh and I think that same hotel from another blogger. Of course, it's not likely I will ever visit...it's a very long way from California!

I guess there is no such thing as honesty, except for a few blogs like yours who stand by their integrity. <br /><br />By the way, I loved your depicting the horrid farmer's wife in your previous post as Grant Wood's "American Gothic". I can imagine what a dour woman she must have been!<br /><br />- JennyThe Foolish Aesthetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115423516641338460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-22493171934399130242012-07-04T19:18:29.656+01:002012-07-04T19:18:29.656+01:00It is hard to trust reviews.

I was looking at reviews for hotels in an Italian town – for the same hotel some reviews were saying the place was horrible and some gave it 5 stars…. It’s nice to read unbiased reviews if they can be found. The people in the independent hotel I use in Paris are wonderful. Last year we missed our plane for a package tour to Vienna and their son searched for one hour on his computer and found another cheap flight for the same day to Vienna – so we did not miss the whole tour – that is what I call super nice.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-31629863899122306022012-07-04T13:40:48.131+01:002012-07-04T13:40:48.131+01:00I see a new blog for you.

But, we cannot see their true nature. When it comes to complains, I am sure, her or his attitude shows how much they have true hospitality to customers. Even though there are some troubles or complains, I will come back there when I see them attentive, hospitable and more. So, the owners “why don’t you take advantage of niggles or complains. It is a great chance to show real you.” <br />Jenny, thanks a lot for sharing. <br />keikosnowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-73729658984872778772012-07-03T09:08:29.756+01:002012-07-03T09:08:29.756+01:00Thanks for those interesting links.

Some reviewers are just too plain picky about the little things, but if one reads the overall reviews from different sources, it will pretty much give you a general idea. I am so thankful for these online reviews and don't know how we lived without them before the internet. I like your "radioactive" candy and the spa looks wonderful. Maybe someday you'll go back and get a different perspective.AVCr8teurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791962268368737548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-19480821652105568992012-07-02T21:53:19.692+01:002012-07-02T21:53:19.692+01:00Hi Jenny.

I must admit to relying on luck more than judgement when it comes to picking holiday cottages or B+Bs. Although I've been asked to rate them on Trip Advisor, I never have, nor have I looked at it for reviews. Surely at best it's a bit like a visitors' book - most people, even if genuine, are going to put something polite. And afterall, one person's ideal holiday is another's nighmare!maryomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-68259234395047505022012-07-02T00:20:52.118+01:002012-07-02T00:20:52.118+01:00I love reading your reviews too.
