What YOU say about the Camel
"I am the new owner of The Museum and completed the purchase very early in January 2008. Please believe me when I say I am our harshest critic. That said I truly believe the food and service are the best The Museum has ever known. The recent reviews speak for themselves"

"I completely agree with you here. I stayed in this hotel in 2002 and was robbed in the lobby whilst I was checking in ! I was so traumatised by this at the time. I was lucky that I did not have any prized possessions in my handbag...."

"I went to joseph léscales and we orderd moule frite a simpel dish mussels and french fries, i found the mussels were very small ( i am dutch and used to the big ones from zeeland in holland) and they where infested with small crabs.i'm not complaining becouse the dish was inexpensive ( 14 euro) and a great ambiance. the joint is fine but they should check the food before it goes out of the kitchen.

"This article deserves 3 piles of poo. Lan doesn't have any 747, so all of this is a lie."
"Can you please explain me why did you write (to be avoided) after Maltese wine in Wigi's review?"
(Brendon - Malta)
Malta - Wigi's
"For those who still believe that Maltese wines are to be avoided, it is apparent that they last tried them back in the 80s. Get with the program, so called travelling reviewer."

"It's good to see a travel site encouraging hotels to give to their customers instead of just grabbing fat commissions for themselves. I hope more will follow Hotel Pastis and give back to the people spending the money."

"I booked Awana by email and ordered a birthday cake for my father, “You should have phoned to ask for the cake”, said a waitress when I asked why it hadn’t arrived. Their website markets Awana as a fine dining experience. If I’d wanted good food but inattentive service I would have gone to Chinatown."

"just read your post on the Oberoi Rajvilas. Lets get a few things straight....the hotel is NOT based on the Amber fort, but is a replica of the Naila fort which is a few miles east of the hotel and is also the private residence of the chairman of the company. You need a keen and well educated eye to appreciate the blend of Rajput Mugal and British arcitecture spread all across the hotels!!!

“My wife and I have visited this wonderful place many times. I agree with Frank’s comments, so much so that I’m inspired to book a weekend in June. Did you know that this was Dirk Bogarde's regular haunt and in fact he helped build the swimming pool?”
