There is a new player in the hotel review space which is TVTrip.com. TVTrip hosts video reviews of hotels. At this time they have “115 destinations, 5530 hotels, 494008 reviews, 4937 videos”. That is a very small percentage of the world’s hotels but the value of actually being able to see the hotel (if they have a review for it) seems of greater value to me than a textual review.

Cool site, though do you believe they have a half million original reviews on their site? I checked their Alexa site ranking, and by my estimate they should have maybe 1000 real reviews tops. This is yet another travel 2.0 site pretending to have “user generated” content, but which is really just filled with advertising content. I enjoyed the videos on the site, though.

It Seem’s that text reviews come from other websites.
look: http://www.tvtrip.com/paris-hotels/hotel-sers/reviews
that’s a kind of a reviews aggregator website.
