  Uncover that Dream Hotel or Hole?!

Advantages: Easy to Use, Offers Great Advice, Read Before Your Book!
Disadvantages: Covers only Europe, Mainly Canaries, Spain & Greece.

I absolutely hate questionnaires and personality profiles where you’re constantly asked to list your hobbies – I mean I’m not exactly the kind of girl that has any real passions in life or anything like that, I’m not mad about reading, nor do I follow any sports like a religion and I’m not blessed with culinary skills! So I tend to end up putting the old usual euphemisms “socialising” meaning getting drunk with my friends and having to be carried ...
...priced stores and depressing myself by realising I can’t afford nor do I have any real reason to spend £200 on a top and “exercise” well this one isn’t really a lie, I walk from my bed to the bathroom at least twice a night and I’m always browsing up and down the aisles in Sainsburys! But one of my true, and honest, hobbies in life is complaining! The smallest fault can instantly transform my mood, if something isn’t up to scratch then I’m the one ...

Horrible experience

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: extremely slow to deliver. poor customer service

Worst experience ever with any travel website. First off, after purchasing my tickets on their site. They sent me an email requesting copies of credit card and passport for verification reason. After I faxed them over, it took them forever to respond. And they needed me to refax the documents which I did right away and sent them an email to confirm. Then after that, no response! I called three days later, and they told me they received my fax but ...

Booking with opodo.co.uk - worst support I have seen before and o

Advantages: Hotels were booked
Disadvantages: disgusting customer support, unexpected charges at hotel check-in

...if you don’t want to have headache, and if you want to be sure that you will have customer assistance in case of any problems with reservation, it is better to choose alternative booking systems. My own opinion is that opodo.co.uk now in my own black list of booking sites. ...

Excite webmail now even worse than ever

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Functions not working, very slow, ugly design

I have been using the free Excite webmail service for over ten years and I have to tell you it sucks! My outgoing emails sometimes reach their destination, sometimes not; it's the same with incoming emails, - some reach me some don't. I regularly discover that my email address is the source of spam so I guess their security is lax as well. Excite recently (June 2008) gave the email service a makeover and it appears so far to be a botched job. The ...
...to go through other pages and when I get to the email page I now have to wait for it to load, whereas previously it appeared immediately. Every time I move from one folder to another (e.g. from Inbox to Sent Mail) I have to wait for the page to load. Most of the functions on the page do not work; sometimes it cannot even get as far as opening my inbox; the rightclick menu offers options but none of them work; it is impossible to empty the trash ...

Family reunion made easy!

Advantages: Got me from A to B as easy as 1,2,3
Disadvantages: If you find one then please tell me!

...I asked my trusted friend multimap.com to help and it delivered once more. It not only helped find where I had to go, but also pointed out a convienent shopping mall right next to my uncles. So while on route I picked up a couple of pressies, knocked on the front door of my uncles and gave them a really pleasant surprise. Brownine points for the pressies and bonus points in being able to find them without their help. If you're ever stuck and a little ...
