Occasionally a real reviewer would come along and say the truth but the owner would slag them off and say that they were rowdy or lying.
Unfortunately, on Tripadvisor there is no way to respond to an owners comments.

Anyway, I tried to leave a couple of poor reviews myself as I was so disgusted that this guy was getting away with it but the reviewes were not accepted.

I guess he uses some outsourcing company or something.
