Editors’ Choice

We wouldn’t dream of planning a vacation without consulting TripAdvisor’s appraisals of hotels, restaurants, and attractions. But this robust app does much more than that, letting you book your entire trip—from flights to museum tickets—in one place. For those who embrace spontaneity, TripAdvisor is great for quickly finding spots nearby to stay, eat, or play, and the honest user reviews frequently save us from travel troubles.

Delicious food & vibe at Cerveceria Puerta de la Carne!!!

Our first night in Seville we arrived late on a Friday night and stumbled onto this vibrant, extremely busy delicious smelling bar restaurant around the corner from where we were staying! Little did we know how absolutely DELICIOUS this neighborhood FIND really was!!!!! We ordered tapas dishes that blew us away in taste!!!! This is a bar that will blow your socks off as you indulge the culinary senses with delicious meats and incredible sauces too!! The various potatoes they offered were some of the best potatoes we’ve ever eaten! They melted in our mouths! So did the various styles of whiskey cooked beef & chicken! The sweet cheek pork was mouth watering too! Loved our waiters and owner! Down to earth hard working fun people!!! Ton’s of regulars as we noticed when we went back a second time ! Yes we ate here twice during our 4 night stay in Seville’s Santa Cruz area because we were craving the food from this restaurant!!!! Thank you for two delicious late night tapas dinners! We hate to leave your beautiful Seville but we will be back hopefully next year to eat more at Cerveceria Puerta De La Carne!! Muchas gracious!!! Hope, Tom & Sam!

WHY keep changing things????

I knew it was a mistake to click on “update” without waiting a few days to read the reviews - which I was sure would be terrible - because they just keep on changing things and making it worse for NO REASON!! I can’t understand why they think ANY of the recent changes are improvements - they moved things around AGAIN so it’s unfamiliar! Nothing on the home page is relevant. Can’t even FIND MY OWN reviews now! Why is everything so HUGE? They’re wasting space & making me scroll way too much… This is the FIFTH time I’ve updated this review in 30 minutes - every time I try to do something I keep finding more horrendous changes. Are they honestly going to make me click on “read more” for EVERY single review? OMG!!! Now instead of just having 2 search lines so I can type in the name of what I want to see and the location directly below it, it I have to click on something else to get the location box to show up so I can type it - an UNNECESSARY EXTRA step! Then, there are multiple restaurants with the same name in this city, and you don’t show me the address anymore, they all just say the city, so I have NO IDEA which one is correct!! They have absolutely destroyed what used to be a helpful trip planning app & it’s just awful now. I’ve never used yelp but it’s time to consider it... Did the people who created this ridiculous redesign ever try to actually use the app before they released this crap to the general public?

How to Use TripAdvisor

Now that you know what TripAdvisor is, and how to create an account, it’s time to learn all about how to use TripAdvisor, and all the great things you can do with this website. TripAdvisor can be a great resource for learning about travel destinations and booking prices. Plus, you can read millions of reviews from people who have actually stayed in the accommodations you are interested in.

Just a heads-up that some of the services we’re reviewing here have affiliate partnerships with us, so we may earn a commission if you visit one of them and buy something. You can read more about how this works at https://techboomers.com/how-to-support-techboomers .

Read below to learn all about TripAdvisor.

How to book with TripAdvisor

• Log into your www.TripAdvisor.com account. Click Log In at the top-right of the home page. The fill out your email address and password, and click Log In .  

Searching for information on TripAdvisor accommodations

One of TripAdvisor’s best features is that it allows its users to access millions of reviews from travelers all over the world, in many languages. In these reviews, travelers explain their exact experience staying at accommodations you are interested in. Simply search for a hotel or resort you are thinking of staying at, and read what others have to say about it.

You can start your search on TripAdvisor for information about accommodations right from the home page. Click in the first highlighted box labelled “I’m Looking For…” and choose an option from the drop-down menu: either hotels, vacation rentals, things to do, restaurants, or flights. Then in the second highlighted box labelled “Enter a Destination,” type in the name of a destination (for example, the name of a city you are interested in). Then click the Search button.

Scroll through the next page to view the accommodations that have been reviewed. The green circles below an accommodation’s name show you its overall rating on TripAdvisor (i.e. the more filled circles, the higher the rating). See how many reviews are available, and where the hotel is ranked in relation to other accommodations in the same city. You can also see excerpts from recent reviews, and keywords that express some of the best components of the hotel. If you use the two boxes highlighted in the top-left corner of the screenshot below to select check-in and check-out dates , you will see prices for the hotel if there is availability on the dates you have selected.

To view any hotel in more detail, click on the blue name of the hotel .

Once you’re on a hotel’s page, you can quickly see information about the accommodations you are interested in. At the top, see the TripAdvisor rating (green circles), and the ranking of other hotels in the area. You can also see contact information for the hotel. At the top right, you can see if the hotel has been given the “Traveler’s Choice Badge,” meaning that users really like this hotel.

In the center-left, you can see the hotel’s prices and availability for specific check-in and check-out dates. Click on the calendars to choose or change these dates. Click the yellow View Deal button to see the website that offers the best deal for this hotel. Click the blue prices underneath that to view deals on other travel websites. You can also see the star rating, and key words related to amenities the hotel offers.

A photo will appear in the center of the screen; click the arrow to cycle through photos. Or, you can click the photo icons to the right to choose a category of photos: professional, traveler, panoramic, or area map.

Scroll down and select a category to quickly view an aspect of the accommodations you are interested in. You can also click the Save icon to remember this hotel and view it again later.

After clicking on any category, you can filter through your results, choosing from the options available. Click on any check box to see results that match that description. Click on keywords to see information about a specific topic. When reading reviews, for example, you can click the check boxes that say “English” and “Families” to read reviews written in English by travelers with families. As a further example, you can also click the “sunset bar” keyword to read reviews that mention that particular amenity.

When reading reviews, remember to read a wide range. TripAdvisor is likely to show you the most “helpful” review according to its users, but keep in mind that they could highlight a positive review in order to promote a particular venue. Sorting by date can be particularly helpful, as reading the most recent reviews (or reviews written in the month you will be traveling) will be more useful to you than reviews from five years ago.

Don’t forget to check out the Q&A category, where travelers ask and answer questions about the venue. Ask your own question to learn more about that particular hotel! The Room Tips category also pulls information from reviews about which rooms are the best to stay in! 

Saving information about your favorite TripAdvisor places

TripAdvisor allows you to save information about the accommodations you are interested in, so you can easily find them again. You can also save something for the future in case you want to go back and look at a hotel or resort and see what has changed. To do this, simply click the Save button in the top-right corner of a location or hotel’s TripAdvisor information page.

To access these saved location, click your name at the top of any page, and select Saved Trips from the drop-down menu.

You can now go back to any locations you have saved in the past! Easily access them here from now on.

Writing a TripAdvisor review

If you’ve stayed at a hotel before, you can write your own review to help other users make good decisions about their vacations!

There are two ways to write a review on TripAdvisor. The first is to click Review on the main menu bar. You can then select a venue you have saved, or one you have recently viewed. You can also click the green Write a Review button on the page of any hotel you are viewing. In either case, make sure you are signed into your account so other users know what kind of traveler you are.

At the top of any TripAdvisor page, click the Review button, and select a hotel from the drop-down menu. Click on any of your saved hotels, or the hotels you have recently viewed (which will appear at the top). You can also click Review another Place , where you can search for a hotel you have stayed at. If you can’t find the place you would like to review, click Add a Listing to TripAdvisor .

You can also write a review from a hotel’s information page. Simply click the Review category, or scroll down to that section. Then click the green Write a Review button to be taken directly to the review writing page on TripAdvisor.

On the review page, you will be asked to select many options. Click in any box or circle to make a selection. Click in any highlighted box and use your keyboard to type a free form answer to the questions you are asked. You can enter information including your overall rating of the property, a title for your review, what type of trip you were taking and when you travelled, and then you will have a free-form box to type whatever you like about the property.

After filling out all the information you can, and answering all of TripAdvisor’s questions, you can add photos if you like. Click the green Add a Photo button. You can do this for as many images as you like to help other users get a real feel for what the property looks like. Click the check box to comply with the review policies, and then click the large green Submit Your Review button. You can also click the blue Preview Your Review text next to it to see what you review will look like when it is published to the website.

Collecting TripAdvisor “Badges”

TripAdvisor allows its users to collect “Badges” as they contribute to the website. The badges appear on your profile, and show other users how seriously/often you contribute to the website, or how experienced of a traveler you are. Though these do not offer any benefit to you, they help when you read other user’s reviews, and often, other users will take your review more seriously if you have badges in a particular category.

Reviewer badges

Passport Badge
