islegroove Posted June 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2013 TripAdvisor gave 74 places in Bermuda its Certificate of Excellence (http://www.bermudasun.bm/Content/Default/Business-Section-Content/Article/TripAdvisor-hands-out-74-awards/-3/1281/67124) Maybe it's just me, but that seems way too many.

njhorseman Posted June 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It does seem rather ridiculous. Maybe next year the KFC on Queen St. will make the list. ;) "Ratings" (both positive and negative) on sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp have become next to meaningless due to what I would call "ballot box stuffing".

chrisc71 Posted June 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2013 From the article..."None of Bermuda’s hotels made the top 25 Hotels in the Caribbean, the top 25 Small Hotels in the Caribbean nor the top 25 B&B in the Caribbean." Maybe because Bermuda is not in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because Bermuda is not in the Caribbean. No, put it's lumped in with the Caribbean for award purposes. Clairfont made the top 25 list fo Caribbean bargains. "Clairfont deserves special mention. It also won the Travelers’ Choice 2013 bargain Winner award and is rated as the 18th best deal in the Caribbean." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere recently where some PR guy in England got caught out stuffing the ballot for his hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
