Couple fined £100 for leaving a bad review on TripAdvisor

19/11/2014 by Kevincm

TripAdvisor is a nice resource for those who want some views on a property, location or general travel content.  Although it seems that a British couple got stung for leaving a negative review at The Broadway Hotel, Blackpool.

The £100 “fine” was levied at the hotel for leaving negative comments on TripAdvisor  – although the hotel could be rolling in it with the negative reviews on their page http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186332-d554701-Reviews-Broadway_Hotel-Blackpool_Lancashire_England.html.

Although if you were to go to the page, the rank of the Hotel/B&B should be a warning flag:

Tripadvisor Broadway HotelUmm. 858 out of 894 – screengrab via http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186332-d554701-Reviews-Broadway_Hotel-Blackpool_Lancashire_England.html

Blackpool is a “beach destination” in the United Kingdom, in the North-West of England, home to the Blackpool Pier, The  Pleasure beach, The Blackpool Tower and The Illuminations.

Local Trading Standards are investigating, with officials beliving that The Broardway Hotel breached unfair trading practice regulations.

The full story is at BBC News. Although it is rather reminiscent of Fawlty Towers…
