HOSPITAL REVIEW - * One star
I would not get operated there again. The anaesthetic did not work. I woke up during the operation and the doctors and nurses were playing poker round the operating table.
CINEMA REVIEW - * One star
I went in to see the Sound of Music, my favourite film. I hated it. The seats were too hard and the cinema was overcrowded. If the woman in-front of me did not have pierced ears I would not have been able to see the screen.
RESTAURANT REVIEW - ** Two stars
The music was good. The steak was very hard. When I told the waiter he got me a sharper knife.
HOLIDAY REVIEW - * One star
It was hot every day, and the beach was too sandy. There was sand everywhere when I sat down in my bikini. My boy friend complained too. He was wearing baggy shorts.
PARIS VISIT REVIEW - *** Three stars
Paris is beautiful. We walked everywhere and visited all the tourist sites. One drawback though. The Eiffel Tower was not leaning to one side as it showed in the brochure. Maybe they fixed it.
RESTAURANT REVIEW - * One star
Food excellent. Wine excellent. Service second to none. After the meal my girl-friend broke up with me. I shall never visit this place again!
RESTAURANT REVIEW - **** Four stars
I liked this restaurant a lot, and the food. But the waiter had big ears.
CHURCH REVIEW - * One star
Never been to that church before. I went for a colleague's funeral. Wi-Fi reception bad. Missed Downton Abbey on my laptop. Priest too serious.
IKEA REVIEW - ***** Five stars
Great shop. I'd read that 17% of babies are conceived in IKEA beds. My girl-friend and I tried the bed and we got thrown out of the shop.
...I rarely trust reviews!
ReplyDeleteI have received some great reviews of my books and I am very grateful to my readers.
DeleteGod bless, Tom.
Blog review: made me laugh, hurt my leg slapping my knee.
ReplyDeleteNo stars!
Well, I'm glad I made you laugh, JoeH. That's my reward, not the stars.
DeleteGod bless.
The only review I trust is mine. :)
ReplyDeleteGood point and good review, Bill.
DeleteGod bless.
Hilarious reviews, Victor. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thank you Martha for your kind reviews of my books.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
HaHa, nothing like a good/bad rewiew! Finished my "blog break" today, nice to be back visiting friends. Laughter is good medicine. Thanks Victor.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back and laughing Wanda. Hope you and yours are keeping well.
DeleteGod bless.
As part of my last job description I had to respond to guest's on-line reviews. (Unfortunately, we weren't permitted to say, "You're right. We suck.")
ReplyDeleteEverything's subjective, yes. But your post just goes to show the ignorance of some travelers. For instance? One man complained he wasn't given an ocean-view room. Mind you, the resort is located in Phoenix, Arizona!
Hi Mevely,
DeleteSpeaking of a sea-view - here is a clip from a BBC TV comedy on the subject:

I hope you like it.
God bless.
That's toooo funny! I'm wondering which of my former co-workers to share it with first!
DeleteFaulty Towers was a comedy series about an owner of a small hotel who did not like customers. More video clips on You Tube.
DeleteGod bless, Mevely.
Forgot to add, I love the Eiffel Tower complaint! Bahahaha.
ReplyDeleteThe customer is always right. They should have made the Eiffel Tower lean.
DeleteGod bless, Mevely.
I agree with the beach review; beaches do have too much sand. I don’t like sand. Lol. Blessings
ReplyDeleteAgreed Nells. Why don't they have beaches with nicely tiled floors and artificial sea that is not too wet?
DeleteGod bless you.
A dream come true, Victor!
DeleteDearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteHaha, the only sure thing those reviews PROVE, is that there are a lot of no-brainers! Stupid people as it makes absolutely no sense, most of the time, what they jot down...
Hugs,
Mariette
That's true, Mariette. People who write reviews just to see their names in print.
DeleteGod bless always.
So true and often also anonymous or under a fake name! Very cowardly...
DeleteFunny! Favorite one was the first restaurant review about getting a sharper knife!
ReplyDeleteAmazing what people complain about in their reviews, Happyone.
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
What a selection, many thanks :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you Jan.
DeleteGod bless always. Happy weekend.
I'll give your reviews five stars. They made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear you laugh, Kathy. Thanx.
DeleteGod bless you.
Heeheehee! Honest reviews are the best reviews.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Mimi. Not too honest though.
DeleteGod bless you.
