How bad does a hotel have to be to write a bad review.

[Yesihunt2]

I just got back from a week in Negril, stayed at a hotel on the beach for the first time....usually stay in one across the road. We had a great time and wrote out a great review. I read one from someone who was there at the same time but wrote a crappy review. I can't imagine how two different couples can have completely different view when dealing with the same staff on the same property at the same time. Were there some flaws...of course...it's Jamaica. I guess we just know from experience what to expect. Or are some expecting Hilton for the price of Motel 6?

Some people get to the Island and never want to leave.....some want off the first night

Perception is everything

Here are some complaints:
Ants......every room in every hotel has them...duh...
Not enough towels.....that's why I bring my own
Worn sheets.......that's why I bring my own
No Blanket.......that's why I bring my own
No safe........did you ask before you booked
Warm beer..........go to the bar next door
Dirty pool........you're on the beach....swim in the ocean
Didn't like the food......don't eat there
Small beach.......hell it's seven miles long....Good God....
Water not hot enough.......who cares....
No iron......really? you iron your clothes in jamaica?

SMH.........

Well said,I was a travel agent and #1 the chronic Bitc**ers are also looking for free stuff in the form of an upgrade,discount etc...

Some will just never be happy.I had clients send me a photo of a water bug in their room as if it's the apocalypse.

Newflash,you are in the Caribbean, that's where these bugs live.

Were here,were bugs,get used to it.

I've gotten more free nights when writing good reviews at hotels then I have with bad.....it's always good to follow up with an e-mail to point out an excellent review and BAM!...FREE NIGHTS!!

Really? I never thought of that. I guess I have a couple reviews that I need to cash-in on!

My last TA review bumped the hotel from a #24 ranking to #16.

Some hotels in Negril do have their little quirks, but that is what makes it interesting. A couple years ago we stayed at a different hotel than previous, we got in at night, went to our room, not what I had planned, went to take a shower the next morning the faucet came right out of the wall, I stuck it back in and took my shower. When I went to leave the room, I pulled the door handle right out of the door, stuck it back in and went on my way. But I do have to stay the rooms and beds are always clean, and that is all I ask for. This is what Negril is all about.

sounds almost like a hostel...... I dont know what you all pay a nite there but i would at least expect some decent sheets and a blanket of sort-unless you pay hostel type prices than i guess you can expect the above...

Except for the sheets and the blanket...I'm with you, Yesihunt2..I have read so many reviews that have dissed the hotel I am going to..and the things they bring up I have read about on message boards..No surprises...so you can plan accordingly.
