Hello Dave

I havent visited the TripAdvisor site but from the comments I have read about it here on this site it seems like a good place to expose a bad service.
Is Trip Advisor paying for bad reviews?

Also, if you bought the holiday package in your home country there is probably an organisation you can report travel agents who provide a bad service to.

thanks mel...will try Trip Advisor and hope i have better luck than with Virtual Tourist who deleted my entire account (which i had with them for around 12 months and had put some hours into building) because they said my posting was "potentialy" slanderous. It was entirely factual and I have witnesses and proof, but guess the cheats who i exposed were the ones who complained about my posting. Seems ironic that i get ripped off, try to warn other travellers and VT delete my account! Especially as the people who i exposed are VT members and approached me - unsolicited - through a post i made and this is how they get their business.

Members of travel sites who approach other members to sell something are spammers. I dont think any site approves of companies who try to sell their services to the site members like that. But sites also dont approve of forum posts launching complaints against individual members, so that is probably why Visual Tourist deleted your account. They likely will delete the accounts of the spammers too if members report them.

TripAdvisor may come back to haunt you!

I used to believe TripAdvisor but now that I have had dealings with them, I no longer believe a single word!

Go to IATA or better still KATA, the Kenya org.
