Used to be incredible
Used to be incredible, made me feel like I was getting in on a secret. Now, the website spams you with booking.com ads and takes hours to load. Clearly stealing your data, and has really fallen from what it once was.

Poor quality, not fit for its own stated aims.
Tried submitting a listing for a major new attraction where I live and received an email saying that they are not publishing it. Since the attraction was opened it has achieved over 110 5* TripAdvisor reviews in just a month. It is the only attraction of its kind in the UK - if that isn't a 'unique travel opportunity' then I'm not sure what is! Rubbish site, not fit for purpose against it's own set of criteria. Won't bother using it again in future.
