I am glad you find the site useful and recommended it to your readers. We welcome any feedback you and your readers might have on raveable as we always looking to improve. @Michael You have all the right to be skeptical. There's a lot of skepticism about Wikipedia too, yet it is extremely useful. @FromWithin There is a place for professional reviews today and will always be. User reviews are more recent and more reflective of the diverse consumer base. There is no "one size fits all" and there is no one review that matches all consumer values or interests. Thanks, Rafik Robeal Raveable co-founder @Kevin

I hope several readers will try it out for hotels with which they're familiar, and let us know what they think. Thanks for your comment! Interesting….

I honestly didn't find it all that helpful. I actually prefer professional reviews from a source I trust. Individual reviews aren't that useful because I don't know what the reviewer values. I like Zagat and use it on my iPhone. The write ups are brief and jive well with my own experience. I checked out the site for my hometown. I honestly didn’t find it all that helpful.
