Trusted reviewers + dynamic review weighting. For example, so many times, some super crappy tourist trap or restaurant is rated very highly. Upon entering the restaurant, that Sysco smell is blatantly obvious: this place sucks. Being able to follow certain reviewers and have ratings recalculated according to my preferences would help people with less travel dollars get to experience more.
Trusted reviewers
There is always going to be people gaming the system.
Not only that places close down or change ownership and/or management. What may have been great one week may be awful the next and vice versa.
Agreed. I could have stated that more clearly. I mean specific reviewers with whose opinion I align. For example, maybe a bunch of people think a certain sandwich shop is garbage. But I think their sandwiches are my platonic ideal. I happened to notice that SandwichLover666 also thinks these sandwiches are perfect. I would like to see an adjusted review scores based on a preference for SL666's places.
My ideal method of travel would be to see a list of all destinations I can get to for less than a certain amount of money. If that means taking 3 layovers (or even chaining 3 different flights) that's fine. It would also be nice if it were aware of various deals available such as Chase's periodic 10% off Southwest flights or United's "Excursionist" perk.
I very rarely want to travel to a specific location, in lieu of allocating a certain amount of money to travel and seeing where that gets me.
Would this for you include accomodation? And do you think you'd prefer a lot of control over that or just a general view? Like a searchpage that has a budget, a starting location and a departure and return date. This would return only the places where the train/bus/flight + hostel/hotel would fit in the budget.
Doesn't necessarily have to include room and board. I can generally find something reasonable anywhere I've been.
I don't even need a specific departure date, just departure location.
This would be awesome. Cheapest place I can go on date x from n location.
Like the other guy said doesn't need to include hotel stays etc , just traveling to that location.
