Some travelers are addicted to checking TripAdvisor before they book a hotel room anywhere, and it’s true that if there are a number of guest reviews for the hotel on the site, you can often get a good insight into what you might expect there. Some believe it’s full of fake reviews that you can’t trust, and others just follow whatever their guide book or travel agent recommend.

But whatever your personal opinion on the validity of TripAdvisor, you’ll have to agree that there are sometimes some hilarious and ridiculous reviews up there! Recently TripAdvisor released its 10 Funniest Traveler Comments of 2007. And while some of them seemed more of the standard of those suspicious fake reviews, a few genuine comments did make me laugh, including these ones:

• Some guests get off track and complain about the streets around the hotel, which is usually not something the hotel can control: “The neighborhood is filled with aggressive mimes, including one sitting on a toilet bowl (how creative).”
• And some guests are more than honest about their negative opinions - there’s no mistaking this guest’s anger: “Sleeping in the street during a blizzard would be better than staying at this hell-hole. The place should be imploded.”
• And other guests take the chance of posting a review on TripAdvisor as a time to get all poetic: “I echo the sentiments of the previous reviewer. The ambience is lacking to be sure, but the food is like angels copulating on your tongue.”
