Smart people now make full use of TripAdvisor and will actively post comments while they are being a particular hotel or resort. This means that an information on an outbreak of food poisoning, poor hygiene from staff at a hotel, dangerous areas, filthy swimming pools, bugs, dirty rooms and more can and will be made available for everyone to see as soon as they are noticed. Information like this, especially if it is posted while on holiday can help others to avoid a hotel or resort and can make your case stronger if you need to make a claim against your tour operator when you get back home.

If you find that something is not right while on holiday you should speak to your rep as soon as possible as they are your first point of contact while abroad. They should be able to work with a hotel or resort staff to solve the problem immediately, if not they know that they can face the wrath of unhappy holidaymakers when they post comments on TripAdvisor. If you are planning on posting comments however you need to make sure that you are not just moaning and making comments that could be seen as libellous. They should always be true comments or you could find that your griping becomes a problem for you personally, so never make a comment that cannot be backed up.

If you are planning a holiday spend a little time on TripAdvisor and get a real feel for the destination or resort/s that you are interested in. Doing this will give you an insight into the experiences of other holidaymakers and prevent you from making a mistake by booking the wrong holiday. Don’t be put off by one comment mentioning food poisoning if there are another hundred praising somewhere as this could be an isolated incident. But if a hotel has constant comments complaining about it your money will be put to better use planning a holiday elsewhere.

Making a complaint about your hotel after a disappointing holiday is a process where valuable help from a solicitor would be useful so you know your rights and what to say to make your case a strong one.

Famous sights

The majority of visitors to the city probably don’t realise that punting on the Cam is not just the best but pretty much the only guaranteed way to get a really good look at all of the famous colleges along the river. Because the land is all private property and there isn’t a tow path that follows along the banks of the river, you can’t walk the course of the Cam through the city centre.

Admission fees

Every Cambridge college charges an entry fee to visitors. The combined cost of these, if you were to visit all the colleges you see on a punt tour would be more than the price of a ticket for the same punt tour. Additionally to of this, the colleges are not open to visitors at set times of the year, such as when the students are studying for their exams.

Choice of punt companies

There are a several companies offering Cambridge punt tours from the very large to the not quite so.
