Travel review sites are continuously guiding the travellers in selecting their vacation and tour package choices. Few of the sites aim to offer a one stop shopping experience for the users. Apart from bookings, they assist the users in picking the best ancillary products like restaurants and attractions.

As per the Consumer Trends, the reports revealed that there has been a steady increase in the travel review sites compared with last year. A major proportion of respondents feel that these sites help them to find their perfect travel choices. The survey has indicated that 45% of users have given good rating in terms of accurate and helpful advice. The popular travel review site “Trip Advisor” has jumped up to 7% from 2013.

Further, this travel portal informed that the reviews posted by the travellers are the main highlight of the website. Interactive videos, maps, social networks and professional photographs are also been shared in the Travel website. At present, the travellers look on for reviews before they step into a destination. After seeing the number of quality reviews, they head to the place with their friends and family.

Booking.com is another popular travel portal that offers great travel tips, booking option and review sharing. People who book through the website will be allowed to write reviews for the website. Recently, there has been a record of 50 million, verified and authorised customer reviews on the Booking.com website.

In 2011, Trip Advisor launched an instant-booking platform for the users. This enables the users to compare the prices of various OTA partners and book the best one. It has a list of various associated partners. The hotel has to register in those sites and automatically their rates will be displayed in the page.

People spend more time in checking the affluent review sites rather than less popular ones. This is because these sites will give a true and informative guide about the destination. You can’t find any fake reviews as they are strictly filtered by the team.


Tourists who are planning to move for a destination ensure to check the affluent review sites and plan your trip. It is useful and makes your journey pleasurable!
