So, my friend and I love to travel, and one time we booked a house in Cyprus through one famous accommodation booking service. The host and previous guests were all talking about how awesome and quiet this spot was, just 100 meters away from a sandy beach, with restaurants and shops nearby. It was almost a 5-star rated place.
But the reality? There was this busy highway right next door, a massive construction site going on, and instead of a sandy beach, we found a dirty wasteland. And those restaurants? You actually needed a car to get to any of the spots, which would set you back about €500–700 a week just for the rental.
While we were there, we decided to try out this fish restaurant with great reviews on the second famous service. People were raving about the fresh seafood from this famous chef. Seeing a 40-minute line outside, we thought, "Oh, this place must be awesome."
But when the waiter brought out our dishes, each looking like some cheap battered fish, it hit us—we'd been duped.
