There is no better advertisement for us than good reviews on the most famous tourist informing page "Trip Advisor", say the managers of the mainstay "Villa Vodno" from Skopje, which ranks first place according to reviews by foreign tourists, Telegraf.mk reads.
The managers also add that the good reviews on Trip Advisor have a really positive influence on their popularity among foreign visitors and gives the tourists a confidence that the Villa is the best place for accommodation in Skopje.
And the managers of the small hotel "Kapishtec" in Skopje, which is ranked seventh according the reviews on "Trip Advisory", say good criticism on a worldwide tourist informing service means a lot for their work.
"Many people read this portal, the real tourists. Online criticism really have impacted the number of tourists interested to book a stay with us, especially in these recent years, since we started working with online booking pages, booking and as venere," said Darko Darchevski, one of the owners of the hotel "Kapishtec".
Telegraf.mk also contacted managers of some of the hotels in Ohrid, which accommodate mainly foreign tourists, to ask them about the influence the online-reviews have on their work.

Internet today is available to everyone, so everyone can write what they want. The most of the reviews are positive, and if we see that we have made a mistake, we work to fix it,” says Kutanovski.
