Tripadvisor: Plan & Book Trips
Hotels, Restaurants, Tours
Ah, getting away from it all. We love it, but where to enjoy your break? Choosing is a gamble: whether it’s a cosy restaurant for date night or a luxury resort for your holiday of a lifetime, the last thing you want is your destination to be a disaster.
TripAdvisor is the largest travel website in the world, boasting 600 million user-generated reviews. At the heart of this official app is a feed, giving it the feel of a social media platform.
You follow friends, top reviewers and publications like TimeOut or National Geographic. Photos, posts and recommendations pop up right where they’ll inspire you.
But you’re no doubt itching to hunt for something specific. Hotels, holiday rentals, flights, restaurants, tours and shopping experiences are a tap away. Enter a location, and the links come rolling in.
Tap ‘view deal’ to hop from a review to the relevant booking platform (there are over 200 partner sites connected). TripAdvisor also uses GPS to tailor suggestions to what’s around you today.
A neat touch is the ability to group your findings into “trips”. Organise flights you’ve booked and restaurants or attractions you’ve saved in one place. You can hop over to the forums, too – public recommendations have been TripAdvisor’s secret sauce from the beginning. And of course, you can upload your own reviews and photos. Happy holidays.
