Some of the MOST RIDICULOUS reviews given by guests to luxury hotels — other guests “not dressed exquisitely” and “abysmal papaya presentation”


When we think about staying in a luxury hotel, the first thing that comes to mind is the posh treatment that we rightfully deserve. After all, we would be paying a hefty amount just to spend a night or two in these expensive places.

However, for some people, even the services in some of the world's finest hotels were still not enough to appease their taste, with some of them taking to Tripadvisor — a comparison website for hotels — to air their "frustrating" experiences while staying in these ritzy accommodations, and members, these complaints are something else…


So, buckle up, folks! Below are some of the funniest remarks given by vacationers about some of the most expensive hotels in the world!

1. The Langham in London (rooms from $1,069 a night)

One of the revered properties in London, The Langham has been in operation for over 150 years, serving some of the most influential Brits in history, including Princess Diana, Winston Churchill, and Oscar Wilde.

However, for Tripadvisor user @Estherbelfield, the services of the hotel seem to be subpar...

The guest, who only gave a two-star rating to the hotel, said that she was extremely irked by the fact that there weren't any "free biscuits or chocolates" waiting in her room upon her arrival.

2. The Dorchester (rooms from $1,774 a night)

The posh hotel received a three-star review from guest @Caledon_Hockley after noticing that the other guests in the hotel are not "dressed exquisitely", describing the experience as "underwhelming".

Well, I guess paying a substantial amount of money to stay in these expensive places is not enough, you must also follow a dress code, apparently.

Another guest, @OxfordHalal Foodie, fumed over the fact that the hotel serves "boring sandwiches".

3. The Ritz (rooms from $1,080 a night)

One guest panned The Ritz for its "tasteless" decoration.

Reviewer @LordOddie quipped: "The decor is vulgar and tasteless, the clientele is unsophisticated. It’s a Disney attraction."

4. The Savoy (rooms from $788 a night)

Speaking of poor choice of decoration, guest @clarej2610 slammed The Savoy for its "lousy" choice of pillows.

The reviewer wrote: "I prefer pillows with a little more exuberance."

A hotel representative apologised to the guest, saying that they have a "choice of pillows and bedding" they could choose from in their future stays in the hotel.

Another unsatisfied guest, @V3389FPshirleyp, described the hotel's "presentation of the papaya fruit" at breakfast as "abysmal".

Quite a shocker that serving fruits should also follow a specific presentation to please some people, isn't it?


5. Corinthia Hotel London (rooms from $1,613 a night)

A lemon slice on a glass of liquor is the equivalent of "the cherry on top" of our desserts — they're just placed there to add some flare to the drink.

Well, for one Corinthia Hotel London guest, having their drinks served with a slice of lemon is "uninspired".

The hotel has since apologised to the guest for "not meeting expectations".

If you want free biscuits and chocolates go to your nearest motel or hostel. If you want to enjoy high class accommodation, enjoy the experience and only complain when there is a hygiene or safety issue... some people can't appreciate the environment
 
They must be the same people that travel somewhee, enjoy a 2 week holiday, and then complain AFTERWARDS to the hotel or travel agent to get their money back.... If I can spend more than $1000 for a single night in a hotel, I surely have enough money to buy my own chocolate?
 
Obviously these entitled complainers are not used to staying in up market hotels. All one has to do is ask and you shall be given. Stop complaining and show some kindness and patience. Overall these hotels do a fantastic job and they will go that extra mile if asked.

Probably saved up for years to go there and pretend they were someone that they weren’t. What a letdown to find that a lot of wealthy people are normal.

Some people like to complain - end of story. Sadly never seem to enjoy life because they are always looking for things to be upset or offended by. I used to travel extensively & noticed their demeanour often gave them away - and I learnt to avoid them too because most insist on sharing their discontent too.

I won't be surprised if this review was signed by Mrs Hyacinth Bucket!
