Nothing can be worse than, upon arriving at your destination, seeing your hotel in a plagued, falling apart location with a lot of issues. It is not exactly what you saw when purchasing your online package, and now it means you are sleeping on a bed full of bugs.
This should not be the case, or should never! There are different telltale signs and online tools from different websites and Google Maps, to guide you in identifying if you might be booking a crummy hotel. Hotel reviews and hotel stars could not always be trusted, although you could possibly prevent yourself from falling for the photoshopped image of your hotels.
It is always smart to search for ways to tweak the images that travel agencies post on the web to make them look nicer than they really are.
Oyster, a hotel-review site, posts professional reviewers from all over the globe to check out on getaways or vacation properties, and sometimes, they discover hotels that are drastically different than the image on their websites.
Photoshopped images of an unobstructed beach or hotel pool with a sexy woman wearing a bikini looks perfect, but the real image is a diving board or the large building at the back of the dunes, which were both intentionally cropped out. You call that deceptive marketing. Here is the link to the fake hotel photos.
Here are some images they gathered that didn't look exactly like the ones online and in real life, these photos are identified as "Photo Fake-outs." This should function as a warning versus those consumers solely depending on hotel's marketing materials.
Hotels aren't always completely honest when it comes to the photos they post on their websites.
If you're thinking of having a nice getaway, you better be wary of faked hotel photos.
