Overview
TripAdvisor is predominantly used for its reviewing purposes. Though usually very helpful, you should proceed with caution, as you never know if an opinion is honest or not. As far as getting an idea on a hotel, restaurant or destination goes, however, pictures and reviews can help you to at least get a picture so you can start to make your mind up yourself.
