5/5
Cruise Critic has been my go-to site for cruise information. The site’s reviews and expert recommendations have helped me pick the right cruise lines and itineraries for my trips. However, I’ve noticed that some reviews seem overly favorable, possibly due to partnerships with cruise lines. The forum discussions are useful, but you have to sift through some biased opinions. Despite this, Cruise Critic is still a great resource for planning a cruise, especially for first-timers. Just be aware that some reviews might not reflect the full picture.
travelocity.com
2/5
Travelocity is one of those websites that gets the job done, but it’s not always the best option. I’ve booked flights and hotels here several times, and while I’ve had some smooth experiences, I’ve also had problems with reservation errors and delays. The prices are competitive, but I’ve had issues when trying to modify a booking. Customer service could be quicker, and the website design feels outdated. It’s not a site I actively seek out, but if I find a good deal, I’ll still use it — just with caution.

GetYourGuide offers a wide range of tours and activities, making it a convenient option for booking experiences in a new city. I’ve had some fantastic tours that felt well-organized and led by knowledgeable guides. However, I’ve also had a few experiences where the tours were overpriced or underwhelming compared to what was advertised. The platform is easy to use, but sometimes the descriptions don’t match the actual experience. Despite the inconsistencies, it’s a decent option if you want to find local tours quickly. Just be sure to read reviews carefully and confirm details before booking.
rome2rio.com
Rome2Rio is a fantastic concept for figuring out how to get from one place to another using multiple modes of transportation. It gives you a range of options, from flights to buses and trains, which is super helpful when planning complicated trips. However, I’ve noticed that not all routes are accurate or realistic, especially when traveling to more remote locations. The pricing is also often approximate and can be misleading. Still, it’s a good starting point when planning long trips, but I recommend double-checking routes and pricing before finalizing your travel arrangements.
seatguru.com
4/5
SeatGuru was once an essential tool for picking the best seats on flights, and it still offers a lot of useful information. The color-coded seat maps are helpful for choosing more comfortable seats and avoiding bad ones. However, I’ve found the site isn’t updated as frequently as it should be, and some newer aircraft seat maps are missing or inaccurate. The mobile experience also feels outdated. While SeatGuru is still useful for general seating advice, it’s starting to feel like it’s fallen behind compared to newer flight apps that provide more current and detailed information.

I booked a hostel online, but when I arrived, the room didn’t look like the pictures. It was smaller, not very clean, and the bed was uncomfortable. The staff wasn’t very helpful when I asked to change rooms. I expected better for the price I paid.
As a budget traveler, I rely on Hostelworld when looking for affordable accommodations. The site offers a good range of hostels, and the reviews are usually helpful in deciding where to stay. However, I’ve had mixed experiences with cleanliness and the accuracy of photos. Some hostels looked great online but turned out to be run-down in person. Also, the booking fees can add up, which is frustrating for short stays. Still, if you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind a little unpredictability, Hostelworld is a solid option, but always double-check the reviews.
momondo.com
3/5
Momondo always grabs my attention with its slick interface and colorful graphs, but I never trust the prices it shows. Half the time, they vanish when I try to book. It’s a nice-looking site that gets your hopes up, then quietly lets you down. However I believe the interface looks good and it's easy to use.
kayak.com
Kayak’s great for comparing prices, but I don’t actually book through it anymore. Too many bad experiences with the random sites it redirects you to. I still use it to scope out deals, but once I find what I want, I go directly to the airline or hotel to avoid surprises.

What I appreciate most about Tripadvisor is the honest feedback from real people. It’s helped me avoid disappointing experiences and find wonderful accommodations and activities that truly exceeded my expectations. The community is active and responsive, which makes the whole process feel personal and trustworthy.

I've used this website to check on the reviews of Hotel personally. It is helpful to see the location of the hotel and the nearest public transport that I can take. Besides real life picture of the hotel building and room are so helpful to help me decide whether to book at this hotel or not. Sadly they just provide reviews and not booking as they will direct us to another booking platform
TripAdvisor is a comprehensive platform for reviews on hotels, restaurants, and attractions. The vast number of user-generated reviews provides diverse perspectives, aiding in decision-making. However, the sheer volume can be overwhelming, and not all reviews are equally reliable. Some businesses may have inflated ratings due to incentivized reviews. The forums are helpful for specific queries, but the site's interface feels dated. Despite these drawbacks, TripAdvisor remains a valuable resource for travel planning.
skyscanner.com
Skyscanner is a powerful tool for comparing flight prices across various airlines and booking platforms. Its flexible search options, like "Everywhere" and whole-month views, are particularly useful for budget travelers. However, the site sometimes redirects to third-party booking sites with varying reliability. It's essential to research these third parties before finalizing a purchase. Additionally, while Skyscanner provides a comprehensive overview of options, it doesn't always display the most up-to-date prices. Still, it's a valuable starting point for flight searches.
