Thank you. We are glad you liked the post. That is very true about the travelers expectations and how they review some place they stayed. Enjoy your trip!

I find online reviews helpful but they have their limits — I have found “8s” at booking.com that turned out to be exceptional and “9.5s” that were awful. This can happen because reviews are based on the expectations of the guest, so a student might find a run-down hostel great, and a rich business person might find the Ritz Carlton to be lacking.
The other thing I have found to enhance my trips is mixing it up. I usually stay in a nice hotel if I am expecting jet lag, and then go a little funky to get a very different experience. During my three months in Asia, I am staying in one of Kyoto’s best boutique hotels and also a couple of cheap hostels in marginal (but safe) neighborhoods in South Korea.
