We’re great believers in checking and double-checking the photos, descriptions and reviews of hotels and guesthouses before making a booking. What we’ve learned though is that you can’t always rely on the integrity of your research. Reviews can be faked, photos and descriptions can be misleading or out-of-date, and your budget accommodation nightmares become a reality.
Inevitably, if you kiss enough princes you’re going to find some toads… Check out some of the toads from our collection… and whatever else you do – don’t book them!
