We have used Yelp for the past several years to try to find hotels and restaurants on our travels. Unfortunately they now filter out any negative reviews so there are no longer a good source for this information. Like Angie's list they have sold out.
What other places do you all use for finding places when you travel with review you can trust?
I lost trust in Yelp when I tried to find the new Trader Joe's. I googled it, the first hit was Yelp. Yelp showed the address and several reviews all praising how much they loved shopping at the new store.
I put the address in my GPS and headed out. When my GPS indicated that I had arrived I looked about and didn't see the store. I slowly cruised up and down the road looking. No luck.
I finally stopped and asked. The manager of the big box store where I stopped at laughed when I asked about the Trader Joe's and pointed at a half finished building and told me they expected to open in 6 months.
How much credibility does a review site have when they are posting reviews of a place that has not even opened its doors.
